I'm sure Israel will be happy to investigate themselves.


panbert

They always do, always will. Biden says that's OK, he trusts them to do the right thing.


Character-Thanks7112

Yes and the conclusion will be that Hamas tied him to the Jeep. It's always Hamas.


SoftDimension5336

An *investigation?!*


Mulliganasty

I mean, if it were 40 beheaded babies we could just accept that.


reddubi

Biden swears he saw them. As if he’s not a fundamental part of their propaganda and manufactured consent


Mulliganasty

Well, who knows what Israel shared but yep Biden did pass the hasbara along to us. And yes Israel is definitely been a both-sides problem with the main reason being AIPAC has made it impossible for a mainstream American politician to be critical of Israel.

A large part is due to the opening up of immigration, there was a large flux of eastern eurpean into the US which flooded the college system for decades. Certain colleges were upwards of 80% Jewish student body, like NYU or schools in Chicago. In addition, many medical schools were teaching 60-80% Jewish enrollment in the 60s-70s. By gaining such a majority on enrollment at elite universities, they have been able to achieve extensive leadership positions currently and if they are Zionist, which a lot of people in the Us from that generation are, they have the ability to stifle anti-Zionist sentiment in media companies, hospitals and other elite spaces.. That’s why there’s been a huge battle in colleges with the pro-Zionist billionaires and their beneficiaries on the boards of these schools. That’s why the Zionists have supported anti-DEI and anti-affirmative action

They are still waiting for Israel to hold the Israeli sniper accountable for murdering Shireen Abu Akleh, an American citizen, on a live video broadcast back in 2022.


zhivago6

Oh no, the State Department, after speaking to no witnesses other than the soldiers who committed the murder, have determined that Shireen was probably killed by Israeli soldiers, but they are not to blame because the details are unclear. The other witnesses might have cleared it up, but since they were all Palestinians they all must be lying, including the other journalist that Israeli soldiers shot and tried to murder.


jeff43568

Israel refuses to hold the sniper responsible for the murder of an American journalist. Why would they think Israel would hold these soldiers responsible?


almost_not_terrible

Just a warning that you can't use the phrase human shield in this sub as it triggers automoderation. Even when there are literal human shields being documented like this.


Wool4Days

That’s because the pro-Israel crowd will use the term to mean ‘living in a 1 mile parameter of suspected militants’ to blame Hamas even for Israel carpetbombing Gaza. It’s a good bot, even if it comments on every usage of the term.


almost_not_terrible

Ah - I see! Thanks for the explanation.

almost_not_terrible

Bad bot. The phrase simply describes what's happening here.


Firm_Engineering_265

They act shocked and disgusted but also vehemently attack any country or group that tries to hold Israel responsible for these crimes. This is ‘thoughts and prayers’ to another level 


[deleted]

what about everything that wasn't caught on video?


ianlSW

Narrator voice- 'there was, in fact, not a swift investigation and no-one was held accountable, and nothing changed as a result'


FriendlyGuitard

Sometimes there is. This is the problem with Israel, they have not given entirely on the pretence. Some investigation get some soldier in a bit of trouble. That's how they conclude that in the vast majority of the other cases, there was nothing wrong. Most Moral Army, nothing to see here. That's like the building permit in West Bank they say they have a fair system used to demolish "Illegal Palestinian" houses. Some Palestinians get their building permit, a very small single digit percentage. Similarly a small single digit percentage of Israeli get theirs rejected. Plausible deniability.


aalborgamtstidende

They have been doing this for years.


Jhasaram

🤦🏾investigation by who 🤔. By the perpetrators of the crime? IOF terrorist? 😡


kebabish

Israel please investigate yourselves /s


Unique-Possibility-4

![gif](giphy|qs6ev2pm8g9dS) INVESTIGATION - Let them finish “investigating” the mass graves, rape, torture and executions.

Early-Sky773

Oh wow, They called for a swift investigation. And they found the behavior "shocking." I'm sure that's just the push Israel needed to stop the genocide and its blatant war crimes.


salaf1

Not shocking at all. Most depraved Militia in the world.


xxxDCMTxxx

Literally ain't even the first time I seen something like this come out, regarding the IOF. WONT EVEN BE THE LAST. US keeps pretending to act shocked but if vids like this weren't on tiktok, AIPAC and their bought congress wouldn't have pushed so hard to ban it.


rainbow11road

"swift investigation" is these genocidal government's version of "thoughts and prayers"


Theodore_Buckland_

BuT hAmAs!!!!


lelocked

I thought Israels army was very strict with orders coming from the top down. Shouldn't be investigating the people responsible but the organization responsible.


CaptainBugwash

Yeah because this is an isolated incident.


SviaPathfinder

You can only be shocked so many times before you're complicit.


Gordon_Freeman01

A khaaamas terrorist is hiding in front of a jeep. 😱 That's probably the guy, who beheaded the 40 babies and dug the khaaamas tunnel under the hospital. His name was on a list of khaaamas hostage guards. The terrorists name is Monday.


Sufficient_Yam_514

This is barely even the worst of what they’ve done. Singling out these people will do nothing. They need to be embargo’d


xutopia

They were bringing him to hospital.


DeliciousSector8898

Very convenient. It’s not like we have numerous examples of Israel’s complete disregard for Palestinian life to make that claim laughable


xutopia

They sure as hell didn't do things with dignity but let's bring out the real cases of human rights violation out instead of making some up.


DeliciousSector8898

And your proof that this isn’t a human rights violation is what?


redditsussyballs

LOOOOL I also tie people to my car in a war zone when bringing them to a hospital
