On Tuesday, U.S. State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel refused to support the U.N. call for a probe into the mass graves in Gaza. Patel was questioned by journalist Said

Said Arikat: “More than 300 bodies have been found. The United Nations is asking or calling for an independent investigation. Would you support such an investigation for this

Vedant Patel: “Right now, Said, we are asking for more information".

Said Arikat: “Right.”

Vedant Patel: “That is where — that is squarely where we are leaving the conversation.”

Said Arikat: “Right.”

Vedant Patel: “I don’t have any details to match, confirm or offer as it relates to that. We’re aware of those reports, and we have asked the government of Israel for additional clarity and information. And that’s where I’m at.”

Yet if you have doubts about Biden then accused of enabling an agent orange win in the election. I'm so fucking glad that I don't live in the US so I can criticize Biden without the "YoUr'E SuPpoRting TrUMp" Also I distinctly remember reading that the Biden administration was concerned about the mass graves discovered. So they're concerned but not concerned enough to pull support or call for an investigation or apply pressure on Bibi or impose sanctions or literally do fucking anything. The administration is all fucking lip service to the deaths of Gazans.

It's a game of outrage whack-a-mole for these people. It's pure unadulterated concern trolling. They're concerned about hypotheticals which make them look good, until they become a reality and then they move on to the next thing.
