  • What claims? Again that article describes Biden and the admin of being frustrated with Netanyahu and some of his ministers. It also lays out how Biden and the admin were trying to negotiate and create pressure to force Netanyahu out through elections.

    You have one quote from one former ambassador with no supporting evidence.

    Even that would indicate that there was no ultimatum of “ceasefire or else” given, but still leaves open the “hey this is a bad idea and you’re only going to cause death and genocide and force more people to support your opposition”.




  • The person in charge of the state department is the Secretary of State (Antony Blinken). Which is a stretch to say that it comes directly from Biden or the White House since it is written by a branch department. It comes from the state department. The memo declaring that they had to publish that information came from Biden, but again the response that you’re livid at was written by the state department. Notice how the only people who were targeted in the article were people who didn’t publish that bullshit? Whoever wrote the report is clearly disingenuous but to directly tie that to their superiors is not how that works. You need actual evidence and so far all I have seen is hearsay.

    The video of Harris saying that her and Biden are doing all they can is also probably overplaying it a bit, but again the only evidence in that article is that other staffers were complaining about Netanyahu being the problem.

    How does that translate into “Biden lied about doing everything and oh yeah let’s throw a hit piece on AOC” and finish the article off on that note with also no evidence beyond hearsay?



  • Possibly because Americans as a general group are more diverse than any other country and so run into the “doesn’t look like me, might be scary” conflict more often…

    That being said, every country has this. From France giving their black players a whole bunch of racist shit, to the Greeks killing refugees that don’t look like them through negligence, to the Germans who still shit all over the Romani people for having a different appearance/culture.
    It’s not a unique feature to the US.

    As for using colors to describe people based on their skin tone… Every language does it as far as I can tell. I don’t understand why you find that odd. It can be a useful descriptor and if you want to be shade specific, you’re more than welcome to.
