How US State Department spox's justifies Israeli killing of journalists, activists

During a US State Department briefing, spokesperson Tammy Bruce was asked two separate questions, one about the two journalists, Mohammad Mansour and Hossam Shabat, whom "Israel" killed in Gaza on March 25 and another about Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, an American-Turkish activist killed by "Israel" in the West Bank in September of last year. In both cases, Bruce carefully avoided holding "Israel" accountable, instead justifying the deaths while shifting blame elsewhere, particularly to H@m@$ in the Gaza journalists case. When asked whether the killing of Mansour and Shabat constituted a war crime, Bruce took nearly three minutes to respond, without ever directly answering. Instead, she deflected responsibility from "Israel" blaming H@m@$ and reiterating US support for the occupation.
