The message suggests a growing loss of confidence among U.S. diplomats in President Joe Biden’s approach to the Middle East crisis. It reflects the sentiments of many U.S. diplomats, especially at mid-level and lower ranks, according to conversations with several department staffers as well as other reports. If such internal disagreements intensify, it could make it harder for the Biden administration to craft policy toward the region.
The memo has two key requests: that the U.S. support a ceasefire, and that it balance its private and public messaging toward Israel, including airing criticisms of Israeli military tactics and treatment of Palestinians that the U.S. generally prefers to keep private.
The gap between America’s private and public messaging “contributes to regional public perceptions that the United States is a biased and dishonest actor, which at best does not advance, and at worst harms, U.S. interests worldwide,” the document states.

I think this is the most important, because it's U.S. based.

You know it's bad when the hypocrisy is even too much to bear for an organization that's so defined by hypocrisy it could be renamed the hypocrisy department...
@SuperPACPantherGreen6mos6MO
Unfortunately, they are upset because it makes the "Rules Based Order" look bad as stated in their memo. I did not see the word genocide or ethnic cleansing or any serious complaint against Israel's motives.
@PepperAutumnLibertarian6mos6MO
Lol so conveniently leaked. Propaganda as usual. This is what i call U-Turn.
@WholesomeJusticeSocialist6mos6MO
They can’t weasel out of this one. It’s a freaking full on atrocious genocide. After decades of being taught by Jews via Hollywood to understand the evil of Adolf Hitler, Israel is doing exactly the same.
@DinosaurEvaGreen6mos6MO
Israel is destroying America and our reputation around the world
@VulcanMan6 6mos6MO
We've been doing that on our own for decades now...
@HushedCamelDemocrat6mos6MO
There is no reputation to "save" at this point.
@9GSMHGC6mos6MO
I think Israel is more in the right, as it is their ancestral land, however I would not say I support any of the groups.
