I've recently investigated my best friend Larry. He never pirated any video games ever. Pinky promise.
Can’t see any evidence if all the journalists have been killed.
Maybe they should pretend it's right next to the WMDs. I'm sure they'll find it then.
They know Israel have nukes. They probably have them to them. Nothing to see here
Ahhh yes, I see, because they’re still in the process of committing it. We can’t actually say they’ve committed genocide until they’re done (when it’s too late to do anything about it).
The standard foreign affairs 4 step program to deal with atrocities:
Step 1: there is no genocide
Step 2: there might be a genocide but were should not be doing anything
Step 3: okay, there is a genocide but there is nothing we can do
Step 4: there was a genocide but it's too late now to do anything
I see you're also a man of culture.

Nazi Germany has seen no evidence that Fascist Italy has committed genocide, Defense Secretary says
I suppose that was to be expected from a country that has never recognized the International Criminal Court in The Hague.
In related news, the EPA announced that burning fossil fuels slows climate change, the Department of Transportation named Boeing the first annual Bestest Company That Follows All Rules and the Department of Education declared that books are inherently a hindrance to learning.
Is Netanyahu already eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize or does he need to wait a bit longer?
Let's see what Kissinger has to say
💀
How hard have they looked for it?
Very hard. Trust me bro
They have only seen pictures of 40 beheaded babies.
Sounds real
🙊🙉🙈
Can we rename all of our "defence" branches back to "war" like they were originally?
Or do like south park and hire a secretary of offense.
Not genocide. Just lots of murder then? It's fucking terrible is what it is.
Not that either... Just one hell of a case of "whoopsies".
gestures broadly
That kind of blindness is 100% self inflicted
Who do they mean when they say US? I’m an American and I’ve seen plenty of evidence.
I suppose it depends on the definition you're using, but if you use the UN definition it makes it hard to say it's not genocide.
Death to amerikkka and its proxy
Reporter: [REDACTED]
Reason: Calling for people to be killed
Reporter, please learn the difference between a people and a state.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence
🙈
I think there's a dial up modem in these US government officials' brains, since it takes too long to load what's going on in the world.
They know perfectly well, what's going on, they just have different priotities. It so happens the state of Israel is important to advance US geopolitical interests in the region. And so that's that.
Understandable
Notably, Lloyd Austin was quoted and immediately stuck his fingers in his ears and shouted "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!".
Can't see evidence you don't actually look at.
American fuck yeah. They are murderous war criminals themselves. So much so, The civilians are better equipped with arms than most militaries. Life is cheap.
See no evil hear no evil
I see no evidence that the Defense Secretary shouldn't have their head bashed in with a hammer.
Death to America, Death to Israel.
People are saying it more and more!
I long for the day that America gets what's coming to it 🥰 when this shitty country is burnt to the ground I will be here to dance on the ashes 🥰
