International Matthew Miller shows State Department hypocrisy when journalist asks about Russian airstrike on Ukraine hospital vs Israel airstrikes on hospitals in Gaza

u/AdventureBirdDog Jul 08 '24
Matthew Miller shows his and state department hypocrisy when journalist asks why he is so confident making conclusions on Russian airstrike on Ukrainian hospital, yet does not have the same rapid and confident conclusions when Israel airstrikes hospitals in Gaza. Seemingly the State department has different standards for different countries. Claims difference is Israel is hitting "legitimate military targets"

I can’t wait to see this smug asshole face a judge for being complicit to aiding Genocide. Destroying all hospitals 🏥 is no comparison to one hospital.

u/GVic Jul 09 '24
A judge is low on the list of things I’d like to see these genocide enablers facing.

Everything and anything Israel hits is a 'legitimate military target', yet the result is always, always dead and wounded and maimed women, children and occasionally adult males. But mostly women and children.
Matt Miller has developed a well deserved reputation for a two faced genocide enabler, much like Biden.
I know we have no choice except to vote for such people because the other . . . person is far, far worse.
It would be nice if we could vote for a candidate who truly has the best intentions for humanity as a whole instead of a bunch of murderous, sociopathic liars and bullies.

They definitely do have a choice not to vote for either. And that rhetoric is only enabling these rats to continue.

u/GypsyQueenie Jul 09 '24
Stop lying lol and saying we have no other choice there are literally other third party choices like Jill Stein who is anti-Zionist and Cornell West. People that fear monger and say we have no other choice need to open their eyes and stop with the tunnel vision …come on man.

Being anti-war doesn't equate to being pro-Russian. Honestly, it's a bit embarrassing to be parroting propaganda quips like that.
The other top candidates are genocidal extremists. What's your beef with Jill Stein exactly?

I am assuming you weren't aware of this?

I support the Green party but on the other hand I don't want them used to divide any chance of getting a candidate in office who can make real changes. There are not even remotely enough green party supporters to make a difference even if she was elected. The numbers are not favorable.
Let's say she did win. Trump's party would come in second, the Democrats third.
You would have a Republican majority controlling the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court.
Tell me how that's going to work in the Green Party's favor. . .

u/passporttohell Ireland Jul 09 '24
Which means diverting votes away from Biden (shudder) and to Trump (direct path to the return of the Nazis.)
Yeah, that's really another option. . .

When the option is between a genocidal war criminal suffering from the onset of dementia and a would-be war criminal fascist, you don't have to pick one of them.

u/Fyr5 Jul 09 '24
The fact that we have 1080p footage/fixed views of these Ukrainian hospitals exploding, ready to be disseminated to media outlets, stinks to high heaven! And foreign media are barred from entering Gaza? It's pathetic - the dissonance is very real - every mainstream media outlet who isnt aware of this should make a disclaimer that they are supporting a genocide in Gaza!

I wish the journalists would push back on the HS narrative, especially since there have been multiple videos of incidents of Israel using Palestinians as such.
Also, no one seems to mention that the IOF HQ is in the middle of a residential area, surrounded by malls, apartments, sports complexes, and other civilian infrastructure, and the "War Room" and tunnels run under the city and those civilian infrastructures.
Then there's the refuted lies about Hamas being under/in hospitals, which only the US and Israel seem to still believe to be true.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to watch these briefings and not feel insulted as a viewer and outraged at the hypocrisy and complicity as a human being. I don't know how those reporters put up with it.

u/AdventureBirdDog Jul 08 '24
Agreed, the HS narrative is such garbage at this point. Far more proof Israel is using human shields than Hamas. Yup IOF HQ is right in the middle of Tel Aviv. Also in Tel Aviv, there are so many armed IOF soldiers walking around with machine guns, sometimes in uniform sometimes in civilian cloths. They are on the bus, the train, stores, restaurants, side walks. Based on The US and Israel definition of HS, everyone in Israel is a HS

I watch snippets of those briefings and it's like watching a Trumpian press conference where news media are treated as complete idiots or 'fake news'. . . So frustrating. I thought Biden and his team were supposed to be the 'good guys'. Not buying it, not one bit.

Good that the media started showing some sack. Now if they can direct that vitriol towards Trump and shut him down every time he opens his mouth to spew the shit he considers morsels of knowledge

u/Poltergeist97 Jul 09 '24
I agree, but at this point trying to get Trump to shutup is a biblical task. I'd rather their energy be spent on people that might actually change their mind. Its why I'm so mad about all these articles coming out calling on Trump to drop out. Not because I don't want him to, because its a hypocritical response to calling for Biden to do the same.

Also Putin's continuously claimed that Ukraine are using HS as his justification for hospital strikes.

These specific events are quite (although not totally and not as much as the state department would like lol) controlled which is why you frequently see the same people there who have the access but the MSM in the US is state propaganda. Instead of having one publicly funded outlet like other countries have they have multiple that work for either the dems or the republicans exclusively. Neither side will go against the state meaningfully unless it’s on the orders of their side. Neither side care about Palestinian lives and both support an aggressive expansionist and insane foreign policy regime that is hurtling towards ww3.

Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International investigated Israeli claims of Hamas using human shields (that provide no shielding) to explain the high number of civilian deaths in the 2008-2009 Israeli war on Gaza and in the 2014 Israeli war on Gaza, and found no evidence to support those claims. During the current genocide of Gaza, Israel has not provided any proof that any independent group has confirmed of the use of human shields by Hamas. None.
All 432 Israeli attacks on Gaza hospitals must be considered war crimes in breach of the Geneva Conventions until a separate investigation for each and every attack is carried out. Every individual Israeli attack is required to prove that these hospitals were actively being used by a Palestinian military force for combat operations, or the Israeli government must begin trials for the war criminals who carried out those attacks.

Must be, but in reality Russia is under heavy sanctions, because as great european and american leaders said, sanctions are supposed to stop or slow down bloodshed, while Israel is freee to do whatever they want without anyone trying to stop them.

If this goof wants to talk about context, how about mentioning the fact that Ukrainian army isn’t locked in a concentration camps. Ukraine has been supplied with billions in military aid, while Hamas is using homemade rockets.

In Gaza there are conflicting claims so they can't determine what is true. Well, just ask the independent journalists covering the war on the ground. Ahhh, I see what you did there. Sneaky bastard.
You can't prove Israel is committing genocide because Israel says they are not and there is no independent proof that they are. And you can't get independent proof that Israel is committing genocide because Israel doesn't allow journalists in Gaza. Joseph Heller would be proud.
Israel is now a terrorist state.

u/Zosimas Jul 09 '24
There is independent evidence, e.g. Mads Gilbert testimony. They just don't give a fuck.
Anyway, the burden of proof should be on Israel. So far we've only seen a rusty Kalashnikov next to MRI machine, and a mattress in what was supposed to be Hamas HQ, IIRC

exactly this. If IOF just bomb you anyway, what purpose is the "shield"? If I'm going to a sword fight I'm not taking a piece of paper as a "shield"

Reddiots are hypocrites too, because I noticed how posts about strikes fron Russia are titled "Russians bombed hospital", but if Israel does this it's "Israel bombed hospital" . Why not "jews bombed hospital" ?

here I disagree. It should be the other way around. "Russia bombed hospital" not the way you framed it. Besides many in the military of Russia are not "Russians"
