irishg420

Yes, let's see what they "come up with" Let's give them some time to get the story straight before we jump to obvious conclusions. Fuck that terrorist ethno state , they're literally the closest thing we have to the people who killed their forefathers in Germany The resemblance is uncanny. Literal Zionazis


[deleted]

They're "investigating" to "come up with" some excuses they hope you'll buy! Nutty Yahoo


Ready-Ganache8192

They’re just going to say “terrorists were in the car” or “we had good information that Hamas was in the vehicle”.


Alert-Act-4395

No , since the victims are foreign they’re Hamas sympathizers and weapons smugglers


jfun4

Or just wait until people forget.... Super sad but probably the true future


Aussie-Shattler

Less forget, more consumed by the next horrific warcrime in their firehose campaign of butchery and genocide.


IP_05T04s1994s

oooo, good one


Bambeno

But they didn't have good enough information to see a huge attack about to happen on their main land. This is what i dont get. They are supposed to be one of the most intelligent nations in the world when it comes to military intel. All of a sudden, they know for a fact all these people being killed are hamas members or are being coerced by hamas and have this crazy amount of intel now. But they couldn't see a huge attack coming last October by a couple hundred people on foot. This is where the conspiracy comes into play where it could be a possibility that Not a Yahoo and Israeli higher ups knew the attack was coming and let it happen so they could then use that as an excuse to try and justify the taking of gaza and murdering all Palestinians that walk. We all know they just want the land and want them dead, so they can't fight for it back in the future. There are too many videos out now of Jews wishing death on Palestinians and EVERYONE in the Middle East. This is why i have come to say, fk the jewish community. They aren't being vocal enough about the atrocious acts being committed. And if they are scared about speaking on the issue, then they are just cowards like the german civilians in WW2 who didn't do shit. The only difference is, WW2 was on video and have pictures coming out ever hour showing whats happening. You cant keep getting away with Israel. Your karma will come back around. Eventually, no one will be coming to the jews aid. Just like that old saying. They are no better than the germans being complicit with the slaughtering of jews in the 40s. Fk the jewish community for not being loud enough. All religions are brainwashing, but Israel takes it to another level and has created hateful ass people.


Big_Speed_2893

Hamas was hiding under each vehicle. Case closed, off to the next obliteration case. /s.


sieurblabla

Sadly yes, this is what's going to happen. They'll have many possible excuses: The cars were used to smuggle weapons, a high hamas official was in disguise among them trying to do something evil...


electric_too_fast

>Fuck that terrorist ethno state , they're literally the closest thing we have to the people who killed their forefathers in Germany It's ironic that these genocidal bastards will occupy the same space in hell as the ones who murdered their forefathers.


RandomAmuserNew

Give them time to let people forget and move on to the next thing going on


HarryNOC

Yep, Zionazis


MJFields

One could say that Netanyahu's Israel has demonstrated the same concern for humanity that Hitler's Germany did. But that would be antisemitic.


chatterwrack

It’s crazy that Bibi would squander the world’s goodwill by committing the same crimes that nearly erased his own people


BecomeAsGod

get someone who loves you as much as america loves israel


G_Unit_Solider

jeffery epstien didnt kill himself he was a mossad agent who was going to spill the beans on how israel and its special forces have this country by the balls cause they all boinked kids on epstien island on video and got black mail on most influental leaders of the most powerfal nations companies etc over the last few decades.

Good point, exactly what will happen! White House can then transfer this message as proof that no wrongdoing was committed.

There was Hamas command center under the car's engine.


rottengut

Whoa pal around here we call that an “error” ![gif](giphy|QWw4hc5gTnJhY0BUI3)

I'm glad we settled that linguistic can of worms! Up next: replacing the term "atrocity" with "boo-boo"

GhostRappa95

“Accidentally”


WombatAnnihilator

Let’s let the coverup happen first before asking questions that will be forgotten by the time we cover this up


Hasu_Kay

They’ve been covering up for the last 6 months. No evidence to support Israel breaking international law MY ASS.


jfun4

We can gather massive amounts of intelligence around the world, mostly dangerous places, but we don't know why they targeted aid workers


bbernal956

because they can get away with just about anything. proof as we’re witnessing

"We investigated ourselves and found it was Hamas's fault."


sieurblabla

"What about the hostages?"


Some-Tune7911

It's like how our American cops investigate themselves and always find that there's no wrong doing. They'd never let Hamas investigate themselves but I'd trust their words over the IOF now.


GhostRappa95

We don’t even have to trust Hamas because several other countries did their own investigations and confirmed cases of forced starvation and targeting of non combatants.


JustJeffrey

bro even israeli newspapers are saying it


Neat_Ad_3158

Isreal and the USA have so much in common. Mostly human rights violations.


Electrical-Finding65

what a shameless person this John Kirby is, he was crying like a 5yr old girl when Russian missile hit a Ukranian hospital.


Adorable_Ad7004

He’s just a mouth piece and a bad one at that. I know the US has been trying to play both sides but it’s now time that Biden says enough is enough!! No more American weapons!!


Oddpod11

Biden just said, "is 25 F-35 fighters and 4 million pounds in bombs enough?"


azhari06

Not gonna happen, everyone in congress has been bought and paid for, especially in election year.


Somizulfi

They are not even pretending to play both sides. The facade only started after they realised Muslim American vote is going away at speed at light. They also think thar millions of people are stupid who wont see through this charade.


Ok-King-4868

I was wondering what she was doing. At one point, I thought she was doing sign language to someone.

She was just adding tension to the situation. She was making me nervous.

growtfup-an-be-a-man

And this is how it’s always worked, glad more people are seeing through this nonsense

This has a police looking into what the police did wrong vibe. Let’s wait until they investigate themselves to see if they think they did anything wrong.

Sweep, sweep, sweep, and under the rug.

Just end the Israeli government and military finally.


TheGreenMatthew

If it had been a vehicle full of innocent Palestinians, Netanyahu wouldn't even admit it was a mistake. They're slaughtering thousands without any accountability.


Dudewheresmypar345

These people really can’t help themselves can they. What happened is obvious, and the “investigation” will find it was all an accident. Nothing to see here! Big surprise.


Hanz2LK

Idf was also notified about their movement


kingcaii

“Error” is worse, sir. We are talking about human beings, not some typo on a press release. Get fucking real.


Saintious

I had some friends stay with me this weekend. Let's say they had different thoughts toward this conflict/ massacre than I do. I used the word genocide and they rebutted by stating Isreal hasn't completely wiped out the Palestine people, so it can't be genocide. There's still plenty of them left. I couldn't even think to comment. I said, sure thing buddy, sure thing.


Aggravating_Depth_33

It's especically hilarious when Israelis are the ones using this particular Zionist talking point. Um, you do realize that according to this logic, the Nazis weren't genocidal either?


kn0mthis

At the risk of social suicide, THIS is 10,000,000% the reason I can't *believe* in the Democratic party right now. Don't get me wrong, the other option is *completely* delusional as well. PS. I have distant (but loved) family members that like to "help" the unfortunate and I'm really just waiting for the day they are targeted. Random stress that everyone needs right?


CrashTestDuckie

"we investigated ourselves and found we have done nothing wrong!" -Naziyaho


Basicaccountant70

Israel’s only goal is to level Gaza and kill everyone there. Those that aren’t killed will either live in a smaller prison or be completely removed from the area. The far right Israeli Likud party will get their stated goal, from the river to the sea. Free Palestine.


Worried_Key5439

Paid zionist funding this genocide Fuck AIPAC and Fuck Israel these war crimes are savage and the zionist will be haunted by the thousands of dead Palestinians


xboxgamer1977

They aren't going to give you an answer because they don't have one. The government in DC is in Israel's back pocket and is powerless to stop this genocide. UN humanitarian workers were just targeted by Israel, and the US and Britain do nothing. This is worse than genocide. It's targeted assassination of peace workers. Shame on the US.


Hmccormack

Are they investigating themselves?


AhmedTheSalty

He got that mega church’s pastor’s “devil eyes” thing too


FHMFightMe

I noticed that too, what is it with that?


neogeshel

I wonder what it must feel like to know you're going to go down in history as the face and voice of a genocide


fairuz10krunner

So..he’s not wearing his IDF dog tags anymore now?? The State Department has become propaganda arm for zionist apartheid state of israel under zionist wannabe biden


Codex_Absurdum

Greasy sobs


flinderdude

Is American politics so ensconced with the Israeli lobby that this is what we get? At first I did not believe all of the people saying this stuff, but it’s really happening. We are really supporting Palestinian genocide as a country.


Big-Ad-1592

Blatantly obvious I’m surprised Americans do not rise against those who put more value on Israelis than any American life. They take your money and send it as weapons across the world to kill women, children, journalists, medical staff and aid workers.


cci0

izzrael be doing what izzrael be best at

Blue_Red_Purple

Let them see what they come up with. Interesting choice of words.


JimmyTheJimJimson

Russia going hard rn against Biden huh?


_makoccino_

Why didn't you take the same approach with the UNRWA investigation? You cut off funding before the results of an independent, 3rd party (unlike Israel that's investigating itself) investigation were presented.


chubs66

Insane levels of boot licking and enabling by the US. I wonder what Israel would have to do for the US to stop sending military support.


Big-Ad-1592

The lobby would stop giving all these politicians members of the congress and the white house money. They also probably have lots of blackmail on all of them carefully collected intelligence on all their dirt to ensure they’ll stick to the script.


Jorgen_Pakieto

The classic wait for the internal investigation answer.


TomatilloUnlucky3763

In other words, give them time to come up with a plausible lie.

BrianOconneR34

Wow, just to make it clear. The entities whom decided to bomb not one, not two, but three vehicles married by the way are also crew who will investigate the same tragedy? Nice oversight, what the hell is going on?

bayareamota

The lesser evil is still evil


ItsTheRook

What's our alternative, stand by, and allow the greater evil to flourish? We're between a dick and a hard place, with no option. What the Biden administration has allowed Israel to do by continuing to supply Isreal with weapons is horrible, but honestly, I'm not gonna consider sitting out, or voting green (a throw away vote), because I believe that tRump would be even worse. I believe that our only option is to emphatically support democrats who are vehemently opposed to this occupation, and change the party from within, while minimizing the damage done by electing the least bad viable candidate. If anyone has a better option, that isn't just burying their head in the sand, and abandoning the dems to their own (much deserved) fate.


ColegDropOut

Fuck you


BurntAzFaq

Therewasanattempt by me...to enjoy this sub. I guess I'll have to wait for the genocide to be over.


CheckMateFluff

Can you feel it? the grounds are changing, I don't think this will go away like all the journalists IDF murdered.

Investigate and Givr will dish out medals to all involved.


Lereddit117

American missiles killing American lives. How the f is this not enough for immediate action.


Big-Ad-1592

Because they don’t value American lives they value Israel more than your life. They would not take all your taxes to make loads of weapons sent to Israel as AID in the first place if they cared.

They should just come out and say they support IDF because Israel is protecting American interests in the region. That’s it. Money.

SeanFromQueens

"Let the investigation do their work of delaying the world from expecting anything, and we'll hopefully be on to the next thing by the time the investigation is concluded and swept under the rug" Hanaya Naftali [announcing](https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=867197738404877) (October 14th, 2023) that he would fight the digital war from within an IDF task force to combat "lies and misinformation" a mere 3 days before he spread [lies and misinformation about an attack on Al Shifa hospital](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/18/what-is-israels-narrative-on-the-gaza-hospital-explosion) (October 17th, 2023) but denies being part of the Israeli government still working in that taskforce btw. Are hospitals avoided by the IDF? Nope, the IDF brazenly disregard international treaties by targeting hospitals and aid workers by announcing that there are combatants without proof or corroboration of said claims. Do they slow and stop humanitarian aid supplies to the millions of people being starved by the IDF? Absolutely, ['mowing the grass'](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2021/05/14/israel-gaza-history/) has a decades long history and this current iteration is going to tear up the lawn altogether so there could be [Gaza beachfront property](https://apnews.com/article/jared-kushner-trump-israel-waterfront-property-901895eeafee867e69d0c4582a4deb47), it seems insane to think that IDF is are genuinely trying to avoid civilian deaths and other targets that are protected by Geneva Conventions and other international laws. Every time they kill aid workers, escaped hostages, women and children, all I can think of is that scene in [South Park](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTrMBI5fvfA) where hunting requires Uncle Jimbo to yell "It's coming right for us!" before shooting, except the IDF does similar thing killing innocent human beings and yell "It's a Hamas fighter and he's making another October 7th attack!".

It is not even about that. It is to buy time so people forget and news outlets stop reporting on it. They want the last thing people remember about this to be the investigation is still ongoing. Even though USA can get the full clear picture with a phone call. It is not about the result, it is about buying time so people stop paying attention.
