 So I'm sure that most of my viewers have already heard about this, but on February 1st, Amnesty International released a devastating report detailing the horrific human rights violations against the Palestinian people by Israel's government. And this report does not mince words. It explicitly calls this apartheid, with Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Colomar saying, Our report reveals the true extent of Israel's apartheid regime, whether they live in Gaza, East Jerusalem, and the rest of the West Bank or Israel itself. Palestinians are treated as an inferior racial group and systematically deprived of their rights. We found that Israel's cruel policies of segregation, dispossession, and exclusion across all territories under its control clearly amount to apartheid. The international community has an obligation to act. Now predictably, our apartheid-denying State Department rejected this report. But during a press conference, State Department spokesperson Ned Price was asked a really interesting question by an AP reporter. Why is it that the State Department has cited human rights violations that Amnesty International has found when it comes to Iran, Cuba, Ethiopia, China? But yet you're rejecting their report when it comes to a state we're aligned with. What's with this here? It seems like a double standard. And as you're going to see, Price had absolutely no way of responding because he was back into a corner. This proves that the United States government doesn't actually care about human rights. Take a look. This was just incredible to watch. Outside reports. But you certainly cite them quite a bit. In your own human rights report, and I went back and looked and, you know, in terms of just the last human rights report cited Amnesty International on Ethiopia, on Cuba, on China and Xinjiang, on Iran, on Burma, on Syria, on Cuba. And those references are endorsements of what this group, Amnesty, and then other groups as well that are cited as well, have found. Why is it that without taking a stand or making a judgment about the findings of this particular report, why is it that all criticism of Israel from these groups is almost always rejected by the U.S. and yet accepted, welcomed, and endorsed when it comes out, when the criticism is of other countries, notably countries with which you have significant policy differences? Matt, I would make a couple of points. Number one, when we include a footnote in something like... These are the footnotes, Ned. These are... These are... When we cite, which it's a game of semantics, I suppose, but what do you call it, a citation or a footnote? Well, when it says in the report Amnesty International found this ex in Xinjiang with the Uyghurs, and we determined that we think that it's a genocide, and you guys come out and cite that and say, well, we also agree that it's a genocide. That is a far cry, Matt, from saying that we have comprehensive agreement with a third party report by an outside group. So it's just when it's criticism of Israel that you feel free to disagree? Where have you ever disagreed with an Amnesty report or a human rights report on a country such as Iran? This is not, Matt, this is not about any outside group. This is about our vehement disagreement with a certain finding in a report by an outside group. There are plenty of times where we cite, as you said, outside groups in our own reports. We cite the facts that they have uncovered that they have put forward, but I don't think you're going to find any citation in any State Department document, and I don't think I'll regret saying this. It says the department agrees on a comprehensive basis with absolutely everything that's in this report. Devastating, just devastating. I don't have much commentary to add. That was just, that was excellent reporting. That right there is what speaking truths to power looks like. I mean, that was so embarrassing for the State Department that I don't know how other news outlets aren't talking about this. That reporter made a phenomenal point. The State Department has cited the findings from Amnesty International before, but now when it comes to one of our allies, all of a sudden you're rejecting what they say. So why are you doing this? What gives? This is an inconsistency there. This is a double standard. This is hypocritical. I mean, there's just no way that you can meaningfully respond to that because it's a gotcha. They got you right there. You can't come out of this corner. You can't back away from this. Your check made it. Every single news outlet should be talking about this exchange, and demanding the Biden administration respond, actually explain to us why you're rejecting the findings here when it comes to one of our allies' human rights abuses, but you oftentimes will cite this same organization when discussing human rights violations from countries who are not our allies. Perhaps we have economic relationships with them, but they're not really our allies in the way that Israel is, so what gives? We all know what gives. It's a rhetorical question to ask this question, but the U.S. government should be forced to respond because it's a double standard. It proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that we don't care at all about human rights. We will cite amnesty international and what they say are human rights abuses so long as it's convenient, but the second it becomes inconvenient, we reject it and what do we do? We accuse them of anti-Semitism. We accuse them of not being as accurate. It's just, this was a really great video and if we had more reporters in this country hold people in power accountable like this, I don't know that the country would be in a better position, but at least the American people would be more educated because that right there is something that you can't recover from. If I was Ned Price, I would never want to do another press conference again. I would resign because that was embarrassing. He was not prepared for that question when he should have been, but it just kind of goes to show you how brazen the U.S. government is. They're just brazenly hypocritical and they don't even care and it's not like the Biden administration is unique here. This has been consistently the case depending on regardless rather of who the president is, Democrat, Republican. It's the same thing. Support Israel unconditionally, give them weapons as they carry out this apartheid regime and condemn other human rights abusers. It's just, it's ridiculous, but this was such a great video and I hope that you found it as satisfying as I did because I really like to see government officials felt accountable and that right there is what accountability looks like. I really, really commend this reporter here.
