    So the Palestinians have no right to defend themselves, but Israel does?

    Please don’t interrupt me Matt when I am lying…
  • @AlexAnder-oz6eg
    After all Israel's done I don't think Palestinians would want to live with Israelis side by side that will be like worst nightmare.
  • What a bunch of BS from the State Dept.. Fully complicit in genocide - they talk about the law but completely ignore them, they talk about levers and yet never use them. Eight months of misery for the Palestinians could have ended with a phone call.

    Mr. Patel is like the mouthpiece of the US kangaroo court! Shameful fall from grace!
  • @SKhan-re8hw
    What he's saying is that US is providing military support to help the settlers who are illegally stealing Palestinian land that they have no right to.
  • @user-qp3tb4kb7j
    Same narrative. Same Defense of Israel. Same Nonsense. Americans should be ashamed of having such individuals represent American Government.
  • @Acubens.

  • @Lazizhorram

    America sounds like the parent of an unruly child. To save face, they’re trying to spin any less unruliness as progress. This child clearly controls the parent.
