Drop Site is propaganda. This text disproves itself. Herzog didn’t say Biden didn’t pressure Israel for a ceasefire. He did. He said he didn’t give the“ceasefire now” demand that progressive activists were demanding - i.e., end to war with Hamas in power. You can get that from what’s offered here. This is all deliberate misreading. And it’s stupid. It leaves readers angry but actually misunderstanding what’s happening. And it won’t change Israeli decisions. To do that you have to have some slight understanding of Israeli decisions, which this deliberately obfuscates. Ditto on Goldenberg. He’s presenting alternatives, and he’s also wrong. The choices available to the Israeli government were narrower than he claims. But this text doesn’t even get his own critique right - why would it bother with actually checking if it’s right? What shallow crud, with 2 million views.
