Journalists Embarrass US State Dept For Defending Israeli Lies On Gaza S...

Interesting to see US Department of State Deputy Spokesperson Vedant Patel, defend the indefensible.

He keeps trying to roll back queries from journalists, by selective retention and moving it back to the track where Israel's right to self-defence and Hamas hiding within civilians make sense. But fail miserably at it.

Just a few questions to US Department of State:

a) Your Spokesperson have been stating that Hamas fighters hide among civilians from the beginning of onslaught on Gaza, if Hamas already knows your strategy, why would they continue to hide within civilians, you assume they are so dumb they can't comprehend your strategy even when you state it up front,

b) Why is that Israel is using the same dysfunctional strategy to dismantle and eliminate Hamas. How is that US assumes the choice made by Israel is fine even when the military goals of Israel continue to be evasive and war crimes is evidently being committed.

c) Or are there shared goals from military industry perspectives that is not being shared with the public.

d) At the end of the day, war/onslaught/genocide is expensive whoever or whichever entity foots the bill would be having some set goals and returns expected, but here the obvious goals are not met and strategies used seems flawed at the best. Yet, onslaught continues in full swing with no second thoughts.

e) Let's look at the goal said to be set by Israel and supported by United States. At the beginning itself, the goal is flawed, for Hamas a resistance group, fighting against its illegal occupier, is an open-ended group and so neither the number of members in the group or the personalities are static. Precisely because of the nature of the groups it cannot be eliminated, unless its goal is eliminated which is Israel leaves Palestine and Stops abusing another State, Palestine, where it has no rights.

Let's assume strategy is right and number of Hamas fighters are static here 35,000 (as per calculation put forward by Israel with input from AI). Israel's average Military expenditure used to be 1 billion before Oct7th, but it increased to above 4 billion per month by December 2023.  Let's assume Israel spend around 2 billion per month because of onslaught on Gaza.  That would mean to kill one Hamas fighter, both US and Israel have approved 57,000 $ expenditure. Since actually only 12,500 Hamas fighters have been killed, it has costed US and Israel 160,000 to kill one Hamas fighter. This seems extremely flawed strategy and logic to say the least.
