SHAME: State Dept skirts Israeli war crimes as massacre in Palestine continues
At last Thursday’s press briefing, State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller continued to skirt around the ever-expanding body of evidence that Israel is committing war crimes in Palestine – a campaign that Israeli historian Raz Segal has called a “textbook case of genocide.”
In the video above, Decensored News deconstructs Miller’s shameful obfuscations, juxtaposing them against the work of human rights organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, international bodies like the UN, reporting from the Associated Press, and even the State Department’s own past statements.
