The state department is a fucking mess

[@rodericksandman977]

The IDF probably doesn't care what this guy thinks. They'll take care of their problems as they see fit.

This spokesperson just isn’t smart enough for this job! He blurts out talking points and pre-arranged comments even if they don’t have anything to do with the question!

[@d0nboozy]

He's a Patel.

everybody is against it but the secretary of defense - who for some reason is absent from the overall discussion

[@mariem6735]

the SoDis not James Mattis who had to resign under Trump who bragged about reaching a deal with Taliban until Kabul debacle came to contradict the boasting. This SoD is against Israel. He agrees because it is a Trap, hence my comment. The SoD is Woke.

These ambulance chaser ads are outrageous and should be illegal. Making kids think every accident is an automatic payday., screw those lawyers!!!

US does not mind talking with Taliban if it serves US interest. But US does not like to talk with Hams. Hypocrisy highlighted.

what makes him deputty spoksperson? is he that intelligent? or what?? or they just put him in front then they hide unsein? or what??

Theres a difference between protesting and trespassing. Look it up. Shouldn't the violent protesters be charged with hate crimes

[@michaelJohnson-jr1oi]

this briefing should have been conducted from the pentagon or by a pentagon official - because if he does invade gaza/rafah then sending a bunch diplomats will be of little use and the damage that will result from the human catastrophe will be inescapable and rest solely on the united states, if for no other reason than to try and prevent escalation on various fronts, across the globe - countries of foreign media should station themselves to report on the resulting carnage.

We support your first amendment rights, but not like that. Or that. Or that. Nope, youre not doing it right!!! When the cops get called on you for exercising your rights, we dont actually have those rights. Its not rocket science.

[@EliMandelbaum]

This has nothing to do with their 1st ammentment and it has nothing to do with Gaza because it is not helping Gaza in any way. THIS IS PURE ANTISEMITISM.

[@sylviamason5642]

Every protest since before the 1800's has been infiltrated and the people who start any rukass are always the infiltraitors, this give the corrupt Gov a reason to step in

I’m confused does Israel know about the cease fire deal? Think that would be important.

Revelation 3:9 PHILLIPS I know what you have done. See, I have given you a door flung wide open, which no man can close! For you have some little power and have been faithful to my message and have not denied my name. See how I deal with those of Satan’s synagogue, who claim to be Jews, yet are not descended from Jacob (Star Prophecy) but liars! Watch how I make them come and bow down before your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. Because you have obeyed my call to patient endurance I will keep you safe from the hour of trial which is to come upon the whole world, to test all who live upon the earth. I am coming soon; hold fast to what you have-let no one deprive you of your crown. As for the victorious, I will make him a pillar in the Temple of my God, and he will never leave it. I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which comes down out of Heaven from my God. And I will write upon him my own new name. Let the listener hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
