There is an awful lot of things that AP, as well as Reuters and AFP feel is stuff you don't need to know.

Officials running the Pentagon and State Department have been in overdrive for more than 250 days in support of Israel’s ongoing slaughter of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Supposedly dedicated to defense and diplomacy, those officials have worked to implement and disguise Washington’s war policies, which have taken more lives than any other government in this century.

U.S. Military Planes Are in Haiti. Haitians Don’t Know Why. ( foreignpolicy.com )

In the past several weeks, I have watched dozens of sleek U.S. military planes descend over Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where I live. They were the first flights to land since gangs blockaded and halted commercial air traffic in March. U.S. news reports suggest that the aircraft contained...

There's something off to me about the media exclusively referring to them as gangs.

It's about fixing the narrative in the public mind. They do similar shit in almost every foreign news story, especially places, we are not supposed to like

Why are we talking to this old creep?

Because we give him lots of money to annoy China

Of course for Biden to admit that it is genocide would be to admit that that he is complicit in genocide. But whether it is called genocide or merely the indiscrimate slaughter of thousands of innocent people, he is still guilty as fuck.

The US and Israel are losing the propaganda war, they need a name for it's news outlets to focus on and vilify. They know from experience that promoting hatred for one figurehead will stoke hatred for all Palestinians

They are always on the side of protestors in countries where they don't like the elected government. They even fund them through the NED

ml is a tool of the oligarchy.

All social media is, or becomes it very quickly. Controlling the narrative is a vital strategic asset.

And how many shipments of weapons to Israel in that two months?

Shame they can't do anything to curtail the indiscriminate slaughter of innocent people

Shame you didn't read the rest of it:

*“Here even studies acknowledging that U.S. policymakers in February 1990 briefly discussed limits on NATO’s future presence risk understating the significance of U.S.-Soviet bargaining in 1990 by missing the importance of informal deals to politics, in general, and to Cold War diplomacy, in particular. In U.S. domestic politics, for example, an informal offer can constitute a binding agreement provided one party gives up something of value in consideration of payment in goods or services. A similar principle applies to inter- national politics: not only are formal agreements often the codiacation of arrangements that states would make regardless of a formal offer, but if private and unwritten discussions are meaningless, then diplomacy itself would be an unnecessary and fruitless exercise.

Moreover, informal agreements and understandings were especially important during the Cold War. The 1962 Cuban missile crisis, for example, was re- solved in part through an informal agreement whereby the United States and the Soviet Union each removed missiles near the other’s territory. In the 1970s and 1980s, an unofficial alliance developed between the United States and China, as each turned to the other to balance Soviet ambitions in Europe and Asia. And as Marc Trachtenberg shows, Europe’s Cold War or- der emerged from tacit U.S. and Soviet initiatives in the 1950s and 1960s that helped the two sides and ways to coexist within a divided Europe. Ultimately, informal arrangements abounded during the Cold War as the United States and the Soviet Union competed for power, influence, and security.”(Shifrinson, Deal or No Deal?: The End of the Cold War and the U.S. Offer to Limit NATO Expansion, p. 18)*

The only reason you are this angry is because you know I'm right. But I guess it must get tiresome having American thrown in your face everyday. Never mind, eh? Chin up and straighten your MAGA hat

Well lets just hope it is not an empty warning and that they follow through with action ... quickly. Israel has grown used to being patted on the head for all its atrocities over the decades. I doubt they will back off with just a warning.

It's a shame you are being downvoted because you are quite correct. Nato mat be rich but it only represents around 15% of the global population.

I don't trust them either

You seem to think that the US gives a shit about human rights. Pushing its own geopolitical agenda is the ONLY thing the US cares about. And no, I don't like Modi one bit, I'm just not blind to rank hypocrisy.

Accountability. If there was a name they would have to provide some kind of evidence or justification for the claims. As it is we just have to take their word for it.
