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.
Holy fuck The Onion is savage with this topic and I am here for it. Brav-fucking-o…someone needs to do it.
It’s crazy that some of these articles don’t even seem too satirical at first glance. Loving it.
Yeah the Onion been killing it lately.
It really does feel like this. Are we the baddies?

That’s also true of Israel and Palestine.
I love it when people naturally realize the values of anarchism 🖤❤️
Our government is representative of our population. Maybe not their desire, but definitely of their willpower to enact their desire.
Lol no, the us government hasn’t been representative in ages. The electoral college is fucked and FPTP voting and a two party system are awful
Yes, that’s what Putin says too. It is all US fault.

Yes, also US fault.
Except weve been negotiating help for Palestinians
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.
Better than nothing? Yes? Have to start from somewhere
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.
Hogwash, who would believe propaganda like that?
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.
Me too! I can’t afford my prescriptions this month anyway, so I sent the money to Donald Trump, so that he’ll continue to fight the Evil Librals!!!
For a moment, I thought, just maybe this could be true then was clad that it wasn’t. Biden isn’t that great but I hope he’s not that terrible.
Humanize is a harsh word for describing what not to do to any group of people.
They are people, I mean…
Woosh? Tell me you didn’t read the article without telling me
Of course I didn’t.
That’s reckless aiding and abetting right there.
Don’t humanize him, you piece of worthless organic compounds.
I fucking ate the onion this time. Unbelievable.
I was really close
Well, your comment sure saved me
