The U.S. spokesperson is at it again!!<\/p>\n

Matthew Miller, the US spokesperson for the State Department, claims that Israel\u2019s starvation is NOT A BLACK AND WHITE ISSUE!!<\/p>\n

I mean… If ANYTHING is black and white, it\u2019s that STARVING civilians en masse is wrong and must be stopped.
\nBut these officials will continue using their useless jargon to avoid claiming responsibility for what their actions have caused.<\/p>\n

Bravo to the journalist for continuing to call out US officials for their facade of humanity.<\/p>\n

English Script:
\nJournalist: So just to follow up on that, the latest IPC report actually says that 96% of the population of Gaza is facing acute food insecurity, crisis level or higher.<\/p>\n

Mathew Miller: Which is what I just said. Absolutely dire, yeah.<\/p>\n

Journalist:But it\u2019s still very dire. And you\u2019ve spoken about what the U.S. has done, but the U.S. also continues to be the biggest funder of Israeli military, and under U.S. law, it is required that any country receiving military support must not obstruct the flow of humanitarian aid during war. Every major rights group, from the United Nations to Human Rights Watch, has said that Israel is using starvation as a tactic of war. Do you disagree with that? Are you\u2026just sorry, one final question. Are you not afraid of completely losing legitimacy? Of being seen hypocritical\u2026<\/p>\n

Mathew Miller: So let me just\u2026<\/p>\n

Journalist: \u2026when it comes to just supporting human rights in one country. But not when it comes to Palestinians?<\/p>\n

Mathew Miller: Let me just answer the first question. So I would encourage you to read the report that we issued on this very question two months ago that looked into Israel’s compliance with international humanitarian law and their work and whether they had done a good enough job to let humanitarian assistance in, where we said that there were some roadblocks that needed to be overcome. And we had worked to overcome those. And we had seen Israel take steps to allow humanitarian assistance in. At times they have been too slow, at times they haven’t moved quickly enough, at times there have been barriers that we need to break down, but we have worked to do it and we have seen Israel take steps to allow humanitarian assistance in. Now, there is, as I just said a moment ago, there is always something more that needs to be done. Everyone likes to make this seem like a black-and-white issue that is completely simple, where there is somebody that\u2019s blocking humanitarian assistance, when actually it can be much more complex. There can be other problems, such as the looting of criminal gangs, that we have to assess. And so we\u2019re working with our partners in the region to try to assess that, and we\u2019re going to continue to work to do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
