U.S. Refuses to Back U.N. Calls for Probe into Mass Graves at Gaza Hospitals ( www.democracynow.org )

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.”

I hate that my only realistic options for presidential candidates are

A) a geriatric wannabe-dictator who wants to dismantle my country and it's laws for selfish gains

B) a geriatric president not only ignoring calls for an investigation into Israel conducting genocide, bit actively providing the country with the weapons to do so

This timeline is fucked.

Baffles me how so many liberal defenders of Biden say that his administration can't do anything to stop another country from committing genocide. Except at every turn, his administration aids in or is complicit with the genocide.

Then you're in luck! Investigations are designed to provide more information!
