Drop Site obtained the campaign document reported on by @rtraister in NY Mag today, confirming that Washington consultants are instructing Troy Jackson to move away from calling what's happening in Gaza a genocide and merely calling for a block on "offensive weapons" -- a position not only out of step with voters but even out of step with many House and Senate Democrats, who have moved on from that position.
The document tells Jackson to say: “I think what’s happening in Israel and Palestine is horrific, senseless violence. I think Israel has the right to defend itself, but I do not support the United States sending offensive weapons that enable more killing.”
It also bizarrely encourages him to call for “the release of the hostages,” though Hamas holds no hostages. Israel holds thousands of Palestinians without charge, but it is unlikely he is referring to them as hostages.
If he is asked about his previous position on the genocide, the document instructs him to say: “START with ‘I’ve said what I’ve said.’ Do not sound like you’re walking back the previous position and do not invite an argument over semantics.”
Anyone who tries to tell you that the "most moral army" tries their best to minimise civilian casualties is either a fool or a liar.
This is pure evil.
Anthony Blinken just said that he is fed up with extremes “on both sides”: those who support genocide of Palestinians and those who…merely seek freedom, equality and dignity for Palestinians.
Incredible sight to see some of the biggest ‘Muslim’ leaders - from a former ISIS darling to a Star Trek cameo - sit and listen to Trump talk about blowing up mountains in Iran.

According to medical sources, at least four Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip since Wednesday dawn.
Among the victims were two Palestinians killed in an Israeli strike targeting a vehicle in southern Gaza, while a woman was shot dead by Israeli gunfire in central Gaza. Another Palestinian was killed in an Israeli attack on a displacement camp in Gaza City.
Sources also said that several Palestinians were wounded in the attacks.
The latest killings come amid continued Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip despite the US-backed ceasefire.
