International State Department Matt (Goebbles) Miller says Israel told him IDF was not operating near Hind Rajab Location (despite independent report that IDF tank shot 355 bullets into the family car). Says UN and other agencies wont work with IDF.

Note how he stumbles over the term "independent investigation" and quickly corrects himself to indicate that Israel is in charge of investigating it's own potential war crimes.

I know no organization with the actual resources to do it actually would(cause most are soft co-conspirators to Israel's genocidal project), but I would love someone to literally just catalogue and follow up every time Israel commits an atrocity and tells the world "we're investigating, we'll let you know what happens"

My guess is that close to 98% never produce anything beyond those statements, and I'm probably giving them too much credit still.

But it is a deference and trust Western Media has afforded Israel that no other country or ally is given outside internally when the war drums begin banging, despite the endless examples of how untrustworthy they are.

This is what happens is the evidence is beyond overwhelming, and there is extreme pressure on Israel to conduct the investigation and share the result:

In summary, they make up painfully obvious extremely lazy lies, and they get away with it.

And if I remember correctly all that scrutiny and Israel still couldn't manage to find the murderer, let alone do anything about it.

But the NYTimes and others will forever have collective amnesia and go right back to printing their lies without verification or a warning about the IDF's history of lying and gaslighting.
