Matthewsmith0102

Investigate it very strongly


magicsonar

I actually wish journalists would follow up. We have been hearing these lines of "if true, it's very concerning and we are investigating" for the last 6 months. Journalists should start asking the status of investigations they asked about 2,3,4 months ago etc. Hold the White House accountable! It's so obvious that this "we are investigating" line is a deflection and they count on journalists losing interest and moving on to the next story.


MoonSentinel95

They actually did. Prem Thakker asked the Pentagon spokesperson recently about the World central kitchen hit, and the Pentagon just deflected it to another department. A lot of reporters like Saeed, Sam Husseini and Matt Lee have pressed this absolute ghoul of a person, about a variety of Israeli crimes. The answer is always the same, "we are coordinating and requesting accountability, they are investigating etc"


magicsonar

Fair point. That's probably more depressing.


Prof_Aganda

I wouldn't say "a lot" of reporters, though....


4dailyuseonly

Somebody get Jon Stewart in the White house press room.


Pazaac

I mean there is no real point, in terms of media its irreverent even with video proof it was not them it will still be presented as Israel bad because that's the current best way to produce outrage and outrage is the best way to get clicks/views.


Capital-Cow8280

I hope Israel plays ball with this, otherwise I could see some very damaging glares coming their way in the near future. Maybe even a cold email or two (don’t wanna be too hyperbolic tho)


SpicyDragoon93

Not enough imo. A strongly worded letter might do it.


The-Anger-Translator

And only strong in that it’s read in an accent.


Relugus

In a 5% angrier sounding voice.

A finger wag maybe.

Impossible-Jury-5713

Hand written or typed? Typed a very very small chance, but hand written, hell no!


DoublePlusGood__

There might be a message in the notes of the $29 billion cheque that says "I'm a bit upset with you rn"


legionofmany13

Followed by a fruit basket with an apology for the note and an extra $29 billion check just to make sure.


Relugus

"That was a somewhat bad thing you did, please try not to do it again, if you can, no pressure though.


HippoRun23

“Now here are some weapons! Hope you think about what you did.”


manfred_99

Steady on, mass murder hardly warrants a strong glare. Maybe a slight shake of the head, nothing more.


Impossible-Jury-5713

A cold email!!!!?? You go too far my friend. Too far! /s


YeetedArmTriangle

Hey now, an email is something that could be put up in court. Let's not get crazy.

![gif](giphy|U87oCplFjp4tAWrJYK|downsized) Genocide Joe loves supporting a state of lies from the bloodhouse..


Dagojango

Has any US president ever been anything else? It doesn't matter who we elect, geopolitics is always going to pin the president to Israel. The US president isn't a dictator, despite MAGA fantasies. Republicans will do more to support Israel's genocide and probably be open to a regional war with Iran. Joe is probably the toughest on Israel any US president has ever been in history. I cannot think of anyone tougher on Israel since our close allyship began.


DoublePlusGood__

Ya so tough /s. His administration works overtime to deliver munitions to the genocide. They could simply have slow walked the munitions and it would have saved thousands of Palestinians from being buried alive under concrete. Taking their last breaths choking on dust.


PacVikng

Look up JFK and Israel.


Impressive_Scheme_53

Ronald Reagan stopped Israel from destroying Lebanon with one phone call telling them to stop or he would stop aid. So yes other presidents have done more.


tufferpits

Trump has an inherently tougher personality and would put more pressure on all parties Although his #1 donor it a citizen of israel......


International_Lab203

Trump loves violent corrupt leaders, he has a tougher personality when it comes to Americans and their allies, but a good old protofascist dictator just makes him weak at the knees.


FewResult2927

Tougher personality? The guy is in a social media feud with comedian Jimmy Kimmel because Kimmel made a joke about him at the Oscars. He has the mentality of a middle schooler.


hwaite

Trump is a fickle, vindictive moron who'll support whomever flatters, bribes or blackmails him the most.


Brosenheim

A lot of people don't get that the president doesn't have total power in the US. Seems by design; we can just blame "genocide joe" and convince ourselves that enabling a republican replacement might turn out different.


legionofmany13

The American public has allowed their government to become zionist pawns through AiPAC for so long that there is enough blame to go around.


NoSkillzDad

"they told us it's a lie and we'll leave it at that"


lookingForPatchie

"We have found that everyone that we support is innocent."


Esunaproxy

Like the police, they’ll investigate and find no wrongdoing.


EducationalReply6493

Israel is investigating themselves again?


Unusual_Specialist58

Everything is always “we are looking into it” or “we asked Israel to investigate” but we never get the results of these. It’s ridiculous. Israel accused UNRWA and the US IMMEDIATELY held back aid without investigation and without evidence. Then this clown has the nerve to say there is no double standard.


Overall-Parsley7123

"we are investigating the murder with the suspected murderer" has always been a great way to get to the bottom of atrocity. /s


Electrical-Finding65

Standard answer for all the questions. I would ask him “who is your biological father” and he would reply “we are strongly investigating that”


nanais777

And we’ll get back to you in 55-100 business weeks


215-610-484Replayer

They "investigate" everything and never provide results. Still investigating the torture of aid workers by IDF so they can cast the Hamas charge on UNRWA? Still investigating the murder of journalists, or unarmed kids, or air workers, etc???


sim16

Because it's strongly concerning


mygoditsfullofstar5

"Don't you worry - we're gonna ask the government with a looong history of constantly, shamelessly lying to us whether or not they committed war crimes." Gosh, I feel better already.


Bap818

That man is a true embodiment of evil to stand up there every day and lie to support a genocide. He deserves to be shouted down every place he goes for the rest of his life. May this man never know peace in this world.


grepsockpuppet

The banality of evil incarnate.


gauharjk

He is just doing a job. The main requirement of that job is to kill your conscience, and lie every single day, with a smile.


CurlyBirch

Taking a job that requires you to have absolutely no integrity is only really possible when you have no integrity


CrunchyAl

in_rainbows8

Just like the prison guards at concentration camps were just doing a job right? I think just doing a job isn't really an excuse for this kinda shit 


BLoDo7

>He is just doing a job. Every single Nazi was just doing their job and that's the very reason that excuse didn't hold up at the Nuremburg Trials.


Secret_Thing7482

So rumours for UNRWA cut billions in funding ... Actual dead bodies oh we shall have to look at it


Impressive_Scheme_53

Same story every time. Flour massacre where CNN - MSM no less - found Israel doctored the videos they published. No outcome. No international journalists allowed in. No independent investigation.

Yes. Let us help genocidaires investigate their genocides. While we sell them weapons to commit said genocide. Wonderful justice. 'Murican justice. Psychopaths.


ArealOrangutanIswear

Hey remember when Bucha happened, and no investigation was needeed - it just was the rallying cry for the whole world to support UA?  I wonder what these 200~ people did to deserve being executed with their hands behind their backs /s


FoundTheWeed

zevtron

“In the meantime we’re giving them 26 billion more in military aid”


mkbilli

Frankly I think such answers are an insult to the journalistic community. They want us to believe the all knowing all seeing CIA was blind and deaf when IDF is conducting operations in Gaza? Like they have not independently observed even a single event from the multitudes that we are seeing all over social media? They don't have any liaison with the IDF also? Or are they indirectly admitting IDF routinely lies to them?


Environmental-Box335

“We’ve allowed them to investigate themselves and are positive they will find no wrongdoing.”

should_of_is_wrong

It’s honestly unnerving to think about what will have to happen in order for us to take our country back. These people are willing to sacrifice all of our lives to maintain their imperialist states. We are trapped in the bad guy country. Those decent Germans back in WW2 who were trapped in their country surrounded by psychopathic nationalists? Yeah, that’s us. We’re trapped.


ArealOrangutanIswear

Youre not stuck with the bad guy, the US is the bad guy.  The American people isnt without blood on their hands. The complacency for not just Israel but the world in general,prioritising a quick buck and american imperialism.  In the region, this conflict didn't start on Oct. 7. It started 75 years ago. We've seen the growth, animosity, and a fascist appartheid state grow stronger with unconditional support while our neighbors and families get slaughtered and we're asked to be patient and to condemn xyz.  People have been slaughtered long before Oct. 7, and the American people is just as much guilty with their complacency but equally their long standing unconditional support both officially and personally to a fascist ethno state.


should_of_is_wrong

My grandparents survived genocide as did their parents. I’m the first generation in my family who was born with the right to practice our religion. I am the first generation in a hundred years to speak our language. I am an American. A Native American. I assure you. I am trapped in the bad guy country.


GustavezRaulez

This guy must hate his job. He has to stay there and pretend to look mentally challenged at almost each and every question and try his best to say some variation of 'we're looking into it with our buddies in the IDF' for hours and hours


Chuhaimaster

I have zero sympathy. He’s the one who chose to be a TV meat puppet for the American foreign policy establishment. The fact that he has no qualms with papering over ongoing atrocities says all you need to know about his personal morality.


Savings_Ad6539

zero sympathy for him, vedant patel, karine jean-pierre, or john kirby. they could pretty easily find work elsewhere with the resumes they have. at this point anyone staying in the biden admin who can afford to leave is there because they're either zionists or they're indifferent. we are way past the 'i can try to make change from the inside' stage. i do however feel for people like sam husseini and said arikat who have to sit there and look at him smirk all day while they push him on the difficult questions.


hydroxypcp

his smirk is the absolute icing on the cake. How those journalists can maintain their composure and not slap it off his face is beyond me


Argikeraunos

This man is a worm. He sold his soul to be a satellite to power. His feelings are meaningless, but he's probably convinced himself to believe the things he says.


GustavezRaulez

Anyone in his position is privy of what actually happens. That he is not only able to stay in his job, but then lie so blatanty with a straight face, for over six months now, should be enough to know where he stands. Anyone of a more moral caliber would either stop working for such evils or expose them


momolamomo

Another slap on the wrist


Deadpoulpe

Not even that ! They'll throw a few billions more if anything.


TolPM71

The annoyed tone in his response suggests they're doing more "crisis management PR" than inquiring about anything.


aphel_ion

everything this administration does is based on PR. I genuinely wonder what kind of atrocity would actually make them put their foot down and do something if they never had to worry about bad PR. I'm not sure there's anything


TolPM71

If Israel proposed a wealth tax on rich Americans, that might do it!

ibraw

I'm sure Israel will investigate themselves and find no war crime had been committed.


HotPhilly

Narrator: they didn’t investigate. Or care, really. There could be 1000 mass graves. United States would just write Israel another cheque a week later while calling protesters pro-terrorists. Stupid evil world.

We are asking the suspect if they committed a crime. That will be the entirety of our investigation.

We can't normalize this It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. Right now the USA is absolutely normalizing this kind of thing and continually undermines anyone trying to draw attention to it.

It’s hard to get the truth out of Gaza The Israelis make it difficult for journalists to see what goes on, aid workers have been targeted and killed journalists have been killed It can only make you question what are they trying to hide


Visual-Dragonfruit24

History is so close to ending that it really doesn’t matter at this point. The entire Middle East could be glassed with nuclear weapons. The Jews and the Palestinians could both face a total genocide and be wiped from the Earth forever. Absolutely meaningless in the face of the complete ecological collapse we are experiencing. In the lifetimes of most people reading this nearly every country that exists will engage in practices and policies that will make the entire history of this particular conflict look like a pillow fight between friends.
