Former congressman warns Israel integration would implicate US in war crimes

What was said

"Israel's leaders whose national security ministry is in the United States at this time either have arrest warrants out for them at the ICC for war crimes or the arrest warrants are in process. What in the world are we doing bringing somebody right inside of our sacred house who has murdered maybe a hundred thousand Gazans, who have a military practice of shooting children in the head and the chest, who have just dropped in southern Lebanon perhaps one of the biggest bombs that's ever been dropped in peacetime on innocent people."

Kucinich argues that integrating the US military with Israeli forces whose leaders face International Criminal Court war crimes warrants would directly implicate America in atrocities including alleged targeting of children and mass civilian casualties. He contends this merger would eliminate any remaining US restraint on Israeli military actions and commit American forces to supporting what he characterizes as ethnic cleansing and genocide. The integration would occur as public opinion, especially among young Americans, increasingly rejects Israeli military policies in Gaza and Lebanon.
