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.”

    Coincidentally, it is easy to find white neofascists who approve of the conflict dragging on because it means both Arabs and Jews dying.

    Some replies that I found from a neofascist forum:

    Lmao 2 cults fighting each other, [Jews] and [Arabs]. Get your popcorn and sit back.

    don’t care hope all the [Jews] and [Arabs] kill eachother, we should sell both sides explosives

    Am I supposed to care or have sympathy? Lmao. Let them fight each other. Fuck Palestine and Fuck Israel.

    I literally don’t care. It’s not my problem. They are both semetic desert cults and they should both die.

    Semites killing semites is win-win for humanity

    Good. Let [Jews] and [Arabs] kill each other.

    I’m all for watching [Jews] and [Arabs] kill each other down to the last man.

    You get the picture.

      If those replies were the official position of the US and EU governments, it’s difficult to imagine what they would be doing differently.
