US spokesperson accuses journalist of wanting to see ‘end of US support to Israel’

“Our objective is to see Israel take steps to increase humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza. ”

Zeteo reporter Prem Thakker asked US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller on Thursday about reports that the US would not consider withholding weapons to Israel for blocking food and medicine.

Miller denied the accuracy of the reports, and when further pressed accused Thakker of wanting to “see the end of US support to Israel”, to which he responded by saying his objective was to “ask about the US enforcing its laws.”

Someone just realized he's responsible for complicity in genocide

[YHWHisGracious]

I hope Miller gets his day in a people's court one day and is convicted of complicity in this horror show

Smirking through a genocide they created

i think most people want to see all war criminals stop supplying israel with anything

This is next level gaslighting. He _knows_ that is what is wanted, he is doing this to frame that desire as unthinkable, even though it is the most obvious conclusion. There is no ill this man has not earned

People on the verge of starvation don't have the capacity to survive for thirty days without food.

Millions of Americans "want to see an end of US support to Israel!" In fact, most Americans want an arms embargo on Israel and no more $$$. Admin is just not listening.

Miller taking credit for the conditions in Gaza - as he should

What a shame! A government spokesman who is afraid of even the questions journalists will ask! We understand that you will continue to support Israel! If you're going to say the same thing every day, why are you wasting your time coming out and making a statement! nonsense!

[garthpetersen]

Usa will always make excuses for Israel. Usa just as bad if not worse than Israel, so they will stand together

So basically he is saying that "we will keep trying to arm and help an occupational force and we are doing it for money and money alone."

Never heard genocidal actions described as back sliding... but here we are

[AilsaPehi]

There's the truth, and then there's I$rael and U$. Please.

[rhynzard]

Give him that if you see his eyes, he perfectly knows he is defending the indefensible. So he has to use all the possible cherry picking and turn arounds. It's his job. But nowadays he knows that nobody can take seriously what he is saying.

May this hypnotic White House guy never see a peace in his life here and after.

[thetruthhurts]

Only a fool would believe that Israel is serious about “takin steps”

Day in day out, this Dracula keeps exposing his hypocrisy with his contradictions..😂

You know, when you have a law that says you cannot send weapons to a country that blocks aid (or commits a fcking genocide!) then maybe you ought to realize that you are the perpetrator and not the angel.
