Why are they going this far to the mat on their messaging and optics about this?

Obviously the US is always going to support its #1 vassal in the region. Its actions will always be to support Isreal in ots canpaign of apartheid and genocide. That's what they've been doing for decades.

But usually they play this game of looking like they almost kind of care about Palestinians. Not in a material way, but just in messaging and optics. Like what's to be lost in not going full ghoul just in a press conference?

I'm glad their message is matching their actions for once so it can radicalize some people on this, i just don't get what's in it for them?

I made a similar comment about 30m in this thread.

...Pretending is most of dem messaging. It's a weird level of arrogance and laziness for the people in his administration. It's even more true for her because it's her official job to lie and spin to the media. On top of all of that it's an election year and even worse it's a dicey one for them. Every iota of good will is needed. Yet the Biden administration is acting like Biden is up double digits in the polls and they're sloppy and lazy because of it.

I don't get it.

My only reasonable explanation is that Biden staffers are so sick of working for Biden that they're deliberately trying to Hillary the election.

If you watch the video, it’s some wishy washy nonsense about how “the president is heartbroken about the suffering of innocent Palestinians” and the “conflict” is tragic. They’re not going full ghoul.

Yeah but they don't seem to get how no one's buying their bullshit or believes their crocodile tears anymore

[-] robinn_IV@hexbear.net 22 points 10 months ago

umm sweaty the president is HEARTBROKEN about all of the Palestinian children he had to kill

[-] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 4 points 9 months ago

Maybe that's it. They don't get why people aren't buying their bullshit anymore. Corporate media doesn't have full control over the narative anymore. Plus, admins and media are just worse at doing what they used to do because its all fail children who don't even understand how to do this anymore

I don't get why they don't just pretend they are going to talk to Israel and tell them to ease off and then not do anything. This is all that is needed to get the average lib's interest to fizzle away. The king of England paid lip service before Christmas and my older Muslim family members were so happy that he was speaking truth to power yea
