Absolutely pathetic from Biden Admin spox.

He refuses to answer the direct questions: 1) how many Hamas terrorists has Israel killed/captured, 2) whether the US has looked for proof beneath Israel's incredible claims they are not targeting civilians/hospitals, & 3) whether the US acknowledges that the Geneva Conventions apply to Occupied Palestine.

In general, he spews a bunch of nonresponsive garbage & it's plain he does not care one iota about lives & blown up kids.

Palestinian villager in #WestBank: settlers "have become the law [&] do whatever they want"

"Israeli authorities were here on Oct. 16 when a settler entered our village with a bulldozer [&] used it to destroy & block the main road...In total, he blocked 16 roads...for 3 wks now, my village has been under a complete siege. We don’t have water or medical services & supplies. People are unable to get medicine. There are people with chronic diseases ...who are now going without" Kids have no school

"[When] they destroyed our roads with the bulldozer, the settlers also destroyed an entire grove of olive trees, &...three water wells, the only source of drinking water [for us &] also destroyed our solar panels, knowing that our village isn’t connected to electrical services...Most Palestinian villages in Area C are like this....They are waging a war on Palestinians in every aspect of our lives. And they do this, all of this, under the protection of the army & with the knowledge of the police"

"4 days ago, they came to my village at night...detained all the men & held them at gunpoint...took them outside the house, & with an M16 gun pointed to the head of the house owner, they told him he had two options...: “Leave or die.”"

"We tried to call the Israeli police [who say they] are powerless...last year, my home was raided in the night by the IDF. They blindfolded & arrested me [w/o charges & warned me]: Stop “causing all the trouble in the area.”...settler violence has increased"

"A few days ago, they pillaged & burned down a house in a nearby Palestinian village. Settlers have already killed many Palestinians [knowing] no one will hold them accountable.

IDF "are helping settlers to expel the Palestinians from these areas."

We can't "so much as disagree with the settlers, let alone fight bac...killing a Palestinian today is very, very easy."

The settlers tell us there is no law because we are at war, & that our land...now belongs to Israel."
