Evasion 101. How to deny war crimes.
Definitely not a good liar.
Maybe lying is the truth?
The funding speaks for itself. Israel's testing of our military hardware also speaks for itself. And those events do not support the sentiments of this junior State Dep't official.
F..... Nonsense
just break the laws and change them as we go.
The problem is Leahy is a LAW, not a standard. You can not interpret a law to mean different things. Laws are to be obeyed, not interpreted as standards.
They seemed to have cut UNWRA funds pretty quickly yet still send funds to israel. Definately abdouble standard there.
They're not being offered a unique treatment! It's just that our support for them is "unconditional"
That's the whole point about it. American officials like to say "America's support for Israel is unwavering", "We have unconditional support for Israel". Then they forgot what they said internally and go out saying their support for Israel is because of they act with transparency, within international law, their democratic, respond porportionately etc, etc. For the most part all of which is not true. The Democracy part is within their borders but they in the West Bank Israeli settlers are treated like first class citizens and Palestinians are peasants and Gaza they control everything that Gazans have electricity, the water they use, the countries they can trade with etc even though they weren't physically in it. So America's statements aren't consistent and their actions are definitely biased.
@@Tejaye777 very true! It's just ridiculous when they lay out two contradictions in one sentence, almost an oxymoron! We don't have a special treatment for the only country in the world for which we have unequivocal support! Crazy..
@@simzer Exactly!!!! Anyone listening to them would think they contradict their own selves.
I honestly wonder what they get told what they can and cant say. Never say anything bad about Israel.
Cant believe Patel is finally speaking up in this press conference though still buttering up Israel dismal man
Double standards for sure
He is just voice balance person He not going to tell you he controlled by- - -
Evil.

@avorfm1964
"It is a process............., yes, it is a process, we continue to engage with the Israeli authorities, and we are expecting some additional information and we continue to have these engagements........but, it is a process........ and yes we have asked about some more information and they would look into it and get back to us.....but it is a process.." You do not need to tickle my armpits......... After all, it is a process......
State department: "There is no double standard, but Russia is evil, and Israel is good"
BS from this indian origin spokesperson.
