I’m sure those Palestinians were born in handcuffs. And filled with bullets.
Here is a video from a press briefing in which US State Department Spokesperson Vedant Patel is asked about the reasoning of getting Israel to investigate accusations made against Israel. I don't know the channel and I'm not a fan of the quotation marks used in the subtitles, but I think the video is still a valuable, factual record of the questions and response and people can draw their own conclusions.
In my opinion, this feels like asking murder suspects to do the police work for their own court case.
A, "You stand accused of shooting someone to death."
B, "That is a serious accusation."
A, "Yes, we won't stand for it. It is against our values."
B, "Well whoever told you that I shot someone to death is lying."
A, "You fool, we can't just take your word for that. We are assigning an investigator to look into this. B, can you please look into this for us."
B, "Of course!"
B, "B didn't do it. May the record state that B is innocent, has a huge dong, and is a generous lover."
A, "Case closed. Justice is served."
Footnote : What a fucking joke.
Biden, Blinken, Kirby, and other state dept. ghouls are probably 'very concerned' and no doubt calling for independent investigation. Of course, they will never follow up on it, they will never pressure Israel, and said investigation will never materialize.
Classic deny deny deny defense by Bibi and his sycophants that will likely result in abso-fucking-lutely nothing happening to Israel.
I fucking hate it here.
Luckilly there are other countries in the world. Unluckilly none of them want to go against the US
Well it's pretty clear they don't view Palestinians as people, so I'm sure he believes his own statement. Fuck Israel. Fuck nazionists.
I mean many people have known this for a looong time. It's like asking a war criminal to investigate themself and then present their evidence. This behavior has been enabled with the usual blank check given to Israel.
Just look at the history of illegal settlement building. We just kept looking away, thus implicitly endorsing it. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/
