WASHINGTON—Upon returning from his brief diplomatic trip to the Middle East, President Joe Biden urged the nation Thursday not to let dangerous online rhetoric humanize Palestinians.
At press time, Biden added that Americans should also avoid dangerous propaganda that wrongly asserts the billions of dollars in military aid the United States has sent to Israel could be spent on things like healthcare, education, or alleviating poverty at home.
I certainly don’t! My favorite right-leaning talking heads and Republican congressional representatives have consistently reassured me that we are already spending TOO much on those things already. Also, that this is all because of the Democrats.
I didn’t see any information on US support for a Palestinian state until today and it was merely another commentor mentioning it. I’d be ecstatic if the Biden Administration has such a nuanced take.
We actually had a UN Relief expert (who was actually live from Somalia were he is participating on a UN mission) on TV over here (here not being the US) last night and he pointed out that 20 trucks is far from sufficient help and described this humanitarian “help” as “marketing”.
From other sources I read that in the current situation 100 truck per day are needed, so yeah, that Bidden-negotiated “help” of enough supplies to last 5h once is pure political propaganda and total bullshit.
