Because child rape was never a “concern” to her - meaning participating in it never raised a moral doubt in her mind. Since it was never wrong for her, it wouldn’t have been wrong for Trump either.

Do these "high-ranking" officials have recent practice experience? At times, healthcare administrators haven't practiced in years. Is this retribution? In lieu of firing them, make their new duty assignment unattractive so they will quit. This isn't ideal, but any help to native healthcare is good.

They ignore it because they do not have the moral courage to shut Israel off from ALL aid - to embargo them. If they were an African dictatorship or a Central American junta doing this, it would have been long labeled genocide, long ago. The "1st world" would have put the screws to those leaders.
