I'd offer an article with direct quotes from said report:

The report also sought to assess whether Israel was impeding the flow of aid into Gaza, another possible violation of international humanitarian law, as well as US law.

It found “numerous instances during the period of Israeli actions that delayed or had a negative effect on the delivery of aid to Gaza”.

Nevertheless, the report concluded that it could not assess that the “Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of US humanitarian assistance within the meaning of section 620I of the Foreign Assistance Act”.

Humanitarian groups, however, have reported for months that Israel systematically blocks large portions of aid from entering the Gaza Strip.

Overall, the report said that US intelligence agencies have “no direct indication of Israel intentionally targeting civilians”, but they assessed that “Israel could do more to avoid civilian harm”.

In addition, the State Department pledged to continue to monitor the situation in Gaza, particularly with regards to the delivery of aid.

“This is an ongoing assessment and we will continue to monitor and respond to any challenges to the delivery of aid to Palestinian civilians in Gaza moving forward.”

The steering wheel of the bus with no brakes can't just be suddenly yanked one way or the other. I have to think that the people who wrote and approved this report knew full well that it was inaccurate, and that there would be public and media backlash about it.

It's been decades of "unwavering support for Israel, or you're a Nazi." Public opinion has to be changed on that if we're to apply anything like solid and effective pressure against the Israeli government.

Sorry, just to make sure I'm understanding, are you saying here "I have to think that the people who wrote and approved this report knew full well that it was inaccurate" that you think they lied, but that thats okay?
