  • State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel faced questions regarding claims of Israel violating the Geneva Conventions in Gaza but refrained from answering, citing uncertainty about their accuracy or verifiability.
    According to reports, Israel employed a tactic of using audio recordings of crying infants and women, transmitted from drones, to lure Palestinians to locations where they could be targeted. At least seven people have been injured by the attack at Gaza’s Nuseirat refugee camp.

      Precisely for that very reason.
      When the nefarious objective is to admit nothing and remain vague, the ideal spokespeople are those that deflect, deny, ramble, confuse, and generally speak at length without actually saying anything.
      Most Is r4e li and US official spokespeople are cut from that cloth. They get paid well to confuse the issues.

      Journalists are not as free to ask whatever question they want or pursue any story they feel the public deserves to hear about, special interests matter more than the truth. Freedom of the press is not free. Consider this, how many times do you think gov't Agencies dictate what stories should be published and which should be killed?. You're probably thinking it doesn't happen in your country, but again ask yourself how many times have you read stories that out of the norm, I mean those stories that makes the likes of CIA knock at your door? I willing to bet NONE, and do you know why? It's because journalists are not free to publish or ask any question they want and get those questions answered.

World has awaken to western hypocrisy at last. Divide and rule. Palestinians will never be defeated, they’ve been suffering for since 1948. They’d rather die fighting for the legitimate cause!
