Reporters yesterday mocked the hypocrisy of US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller during a press briefing, where he stated that the US supports the ICC case against ex-Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad but opposes cases against Israeli officials, including Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu who has led his country to carry out a genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The Biden adminstration is incredibly aware of their nefarious lies. Their usage of language and requirements for evidence changes by the day.

Occasionally their new lies clash with their old lies and all they respond is they will investigate it.

For good examples I suggest the Hind Rajab case where the US has had to change their lies quite a few times.

Obvious examples are lying that Israel said they contacted the Red Crescent with questions and the Red Crescent said Israel never contacted them

i suspected that's the case; which suggests that they either believe that evil is okay or they don't believe they're committing evil somehow.

Here is the Zeteo video about 300 days of Hind Rajab. A quite succinct video compiling the changing lies in 5 minutes Prem Thakker doing amazing work.

Everyone* thinks they’re not committing evil somehow. Hitler probably thought he was not committing evil somehow.

*Except Roger Stone, who seems to get off on being a cartoon villain.
