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.”
I grew up drowning in liberal propaganda, 1984, animal farm, etc… None of it ever synced with the real world. The easiest way for me to become a tankie was that, everything in it lines up with the way people behave, i.e…material interests and imperialism, and the way the world works.
