As Israel escalates its attacks on Gaza, the State Department is discouraging diplomats working on Middle East issues from making public statements suggesting the U.S. wants to see less violence, according to internal emails viewed by HuffPost.

In messages circulated on Friday, State Department staff wrote that high-level officials do not want press materials to include three specific phrases: “de-escalation/ceasefire,” “end to violence/bloodshed” and “restoring calm.”

The revelation provides a stunning signal about the Biden administration’s reluctance to push for Israeli restraint as the close U.S. partner expands the offensive it launched after Hamas ― which rules Gaza ― attacked Israeli communities on Oct. 7.

The journalist testifies that vehicles evacuating Gaza in a supposed humanitarian corridor were attacked by Israel, killing 150.

The position of the Israeli president is that there are no Palestinian civilians

Side question: has a popular uprising like this murderous bastard says the Palestinian people should've done ever actually happened? Like, even once in history, after the people saying they should started peppering the populace with death?

"Since they didn't rise up and die in order to protect us, who have treated them worse than animals for decades, they're complicit and deserve to die."

Satire is dead. There is no longer any scenario so outlandish as to be impossible; someone, somewhere, is already doing it.

if anyone wasn't already aware, a genocide is going to happen, with 95% of the western press and political establishment backing it. probs have to avoid news for awhile, too much helplessness and cruelty

Oh no, its already happening:

Turns out what Israel meant when they told Gazans to evacuate, they meant to come into the kill zone. Or as Morty puts it:

 

[XsjadoBlaydette]

yeah they're turning that war crime dial up, why wouldn't they when they've never had to be accountable for it before, only rewarded and defended by the main western political and press class instead, there is no deterrent in every sense of the word

TLDR: Hamas will lose(Duh), and you have to ask the Iranians where the hostages are.

I think you're just broken, honestly. Not loving this rerun of 2003

Ad-hominem is a pathetic facade for your ignorance. Look into the phenomenon known as "psychic numbing" and educate yourself.

Here's a good place to start:

A psychologist explains the limits of human compassion

Why do we ignore mass atrocities? It has to do with something called “psychic numbing.”

Isreal is about to flatten an MSF hospital, with the staff and patients inside, in case you're wondering who's right and wrong here.

Quit eating the onion.

Did you actually read either of those articles? Because I read the Onion link, and it has nothing to do with what was posted.

He doesn't seem to be aware that the same logic can be applied to Israel itself. The Israelis have voted for/supported their own regime as well and thus are also at fault for what it does. Which retroactivele makes all those killes Israelis legitimate military targets the same as Palestinensians.

Consistency is less important than having more firepower and political support, however.

Are there perchance Americans taken hostage by Hamas and could it have anything to do with that?

"Non-partisan" eh, let's see here...

"Leftists are insane and evil as a movement because I saw some leftists say bad stuff. Also one side is wholly bad in the conflict. Nothing to say on the rest, kthx".

Hmm, not exactly what I understand from 'non-partisan'.
