I wonder if he feels guilty now for all the times he denied Israel had committed war crimes, when he knew all along he was lying and they had and continue to do so.

I would like to think he does but I highly doubt it.

• It was "without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes";
• That Israeli soldiers were not being "held accountable";

Former Biden official Matthew Miller Israel has 'without doubt' committed war crimes in Gaza

In a wide-ranging interview for Sky News' Trump 100 podcast, Matthew Miller also said if he was "outside of government" he would have preferred a "better candidate" for the 2024 presidential election than Mr Biden.

Of course
Perspective and balance = don’t bomb civilians

Absolutely nothing at all justifies widespread airstrikes and bombing of refugee tents and buildings of displaced people.

Don't declare war on your neighbour without protecting your civilians.

Don't use your civilians as human shields.

Learn the difference between 'damage' and 'destruction'

Don't obfuscate for propaganda purposes

Don't fall for terrorist propaganda

Thats not right is it? The figure is 92% residential structures damaged OR destroyed. There is a big difference between damage and destruction. How does an army avoid damaging or destroying rezidential structures if the guerillas they are fighting hide out in residential structures? Would it be possible to have some perspective and balance?

Has Starmer admitted it yet.?
or does he still have his head in the sand too scared to speak out against Netanyahu about genocide and war crimes

@SharonEllis You’re so right Sharon. It’s more accurate to say that 90% of Gazan’s are displaced now. There is still more “work” to do before the goal of destroying every building has been achieved.

yes jumping ship near the end. Getting closer to the part where everyone was always against this.

Totally agree, and there must be thousands of dead bodies under the rubble 😢

Absolutely especially when you consider the amount of whole families that have been wiped out so they can't be recorded. Or the fact people have been displaced so many times it's very easy to lose track of neighbors and friends.

Interview is very interesting he's saying enough to assuage his own guilt but not really condemning the actions completely.

It is sad, the "mission" has mostly been completed, 92% of structures in Gaza have been destroyed. The ship jumpers don't want to be there for the ugly bit, where we "discover" that the 60'000 dead is closer to the Lancet 150'000+ (a bit hard to count the dead when the people who do the counting are killed).

Israeli ministers have talked about 'razing Gaza to the ground' quite openly and their words have translated into physical action.

Meanwhile IDF soldiers have recorded themselves blowing up a building for a gender reveal and as birthday tributes to family members. They are fucking psychos.

Sadly, i agree with you. I used to feel such anger whenever I used to hear him speak obvious lies on the podium which only a few brave journalists would challenge.

They are just jumping the sinking ship now? So I'm future they can say we did call out the war crimes so don't point fingers at us.

It’s horrendous all the back tracking enablers, as if over a certain amount of civilians dead, maimed and starving suddenly makes it ‘too much’.

I think too that it is deliberate action to only speak up now, after months of murder and starvation.

They watched the horrors as we did and care not about the public opinion or Palestinians as Israel razed to the ground homes, infrastructure, slaughtered civilians, doctors and journalists. If Gaza is rebuilt as they will only do so again, they know one one will stop them.

Israel understands exactly what it can get away with now, murder and obliteration.

Of course not, no guilt. He knew, we knew, he knew that we knew and most of the world knew too 18 months ago. He did his job and provided the cover to allow the crimes against humanity to take place.

All this backpeddling by certain parties is the biggest exercise of "cover my ass" ever And "oh shit we've got to save Israel from itself, the world is losing support, quick let blame just Netanyahu".

Any one who provided cover is fully complicit and the history books will show it, too late for crocodile tears.
