It's About Goddamn Time: Biden State Department Spokesman Now Says Israel Is Committing War Crimes
Asked why he continued to deny those very claims to the public from behind the podium, Matthew Miller said he was just following orders.
Former State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller says that he personally believes Israel has been committing war crimes against the Palestinian people — including during his tenure in the Biden administration, where, as a major voice of U.S. foreign policy, he daily defended Israel’s flattening of Gaza to the American public.
Speaking to Sky News’ Mark Stone on the “Trump 100” podcast, Miller said on Monday that it is “without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes” in the territory. When Stone asked if he held this belief while serving as spokesperson, he said yes.

“Look, one of the things about being a spokesperson is you’re not a spokesperson for yourself. You’re a spokesperson for the president, the administration — and you espouse the positions of the administration,” Miller said. “And when you’re not in the administration, you can just give your own opinions.”
The ex-State Department official said he believes Israeli soldiers committed war crimes in individual instances rather than as part of a wider policy of systematically erasing the Palestinian people, as much of the international community has now accused the Israeli government.

Call it what it is: Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians.
Israel deserves international condemnation. Israel should be charged with genocide.

He kind of confirmed that Biden faciliated the genocide on his own accord and didn't need any pressure from outisde forces. Not that we didn't know that already.

Biden thought Israel was going to be his legacy, and it will be. Genocide Joe and Trump 2.0 will be all he's remembered for.

Why should it be only Biden's legacy? Trump is far more up Bibi's ass than old Joe ever was, which is saying a lot. Trump will share the blame (for his policies during both terms).

[quote]Trump is far more up Bibi's ass
He isn't though? Unlike Biden who threw away the election just to avoid annoying Bibi before his morning coffee, Trump appears to have at least attempted to undercut him. Not that there's any chance in hell he'll punish Bibi for immediately sabotaging the ceasefire deal but he's certainly tried harder than Biden ever did.

Remember when BIden would say "they don't want me to talk about that?" Is "they" the team running the country before his cognitive problems became known to us, though known to them for a few years?

R5, what is happening now is the culmination of decades of U.S. mistakes and failures. No, we’re far from the only ones responsible, but we’ve certainly played our part.

I see the Hamas ass lickers have all showed up to celebrate Trump's November victory and defend Oct. 6th and that peace the terrorists are desperately seeking!
