Mass Media Goons Are Still Reporting That Biden Is Getting Tough On Netanyahu by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
All they are doing here is trying to wash this administrations hands of the horrors that are being inflicted in the middle east with the direct facilitation of this administration.
Another day, another Axios article falsely asserting that President Biden is really getting tough on Benjamin Netanyahu.
In a write-up titled "Biden warns Netanyahu against escalation as risk of regional war grows," Barak Ravid reports that while Biden has pledged to support Israel against any strikes from Iran in retaliation for its insanely escalatory assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, he also told Netanyahu that he "expects no more escalation from the Israeli side" from here on out.
"President Biden privately demanded in a "tough" call Thursday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stop escalating tensions in the region and move immediately toward a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal," writes Ravid, citing two United States officials who as usual remain unnamed.
"At the end of the meeting with Netanyahu in the Oval office last Thursday, Biden became emotional, raised his voice and told Netanyahu he needs to reach a Gaza deal as soon as possible, three Israeli officials with knowledge of the meeting told Axios," Ravid reports.
Ravid writes:
"One United States official said Biden complained to Netanyahu that the two had just spoken last week in the Oval Office about securing the hostage deal, but instead Netanyahu went ahead with the assassination in Tehran.
"Biden then told Netanyahu the United States will help Israel defeat an Iranian attack, but after that he expects no more escalation from the Israeli side and immediate movement toward a hostage deal, the United States official said."
Sure, sure. This time Biden really means it when he draws a firm line with Israel, unlike all those other times when this administration has continued to back Israels psychopathic actions unconditionally since October 7.
It is the umpteenth installment of "Biden is secretly mad at Bibi": he became emotional!
He raised his voice!
Can not imagine anyone takes these self-serving leaks seriously. Least of all Netanyahu, who has ignored Biden with impunity for ten months "please see here:" - Gregg Carlstrom (glcarlstrom) August 3, 2024
Commentators on United States foreign policy are less than impressed with this report.
"It is the umpteenth installment of "Biden is secretly mad at Bibi": he became emotional! He raised his voice!" tweeted The Economists Gregg Carlstrom. "Can not imagine anyone takes these self-serving leaks seriously. Least of all Netanyahu, who has ignored Biden with impunity for ten months"
"Biden reportedly told Netanyahu he will help defeat an Iranian attack, but expects no more escalation from Israel, warning Netanyahu that he should not count on the United States to bail him out again," tweeted Quincy Institutes Trita Parsi, adding, "Fine, but given Bidens record, why should Netanyahu believe him?"
Barak Ravid has made an entire career out of writing up these anonymously sourced White House press releases about how badass and un-genocidal the president is and packaging them as real news stories. Here are some of the headlines from Ravids reporting since October:

An infuriating, thuddingly predictable genre of article has emerged: the "Biden is really upset with Israel behind the scenes" story. "please see here:" - Center for Security, Race and Rights (RUCSRR) February 19, 2024
This is just one guy, from just one outlet. These "Biden is very upset with Netanyahu and wants him to be different" reports have been coming out throughout the United States media since the early weeks of this ongoing mass atrocity, all of which are flatly contradicted by the White House taking zero meaningful action this entire time to rein in Israels demented genocidal aggressions.
And to be clear, none of this is actually news. "Anonymous sources say X, Y and Z about how the presidents feelings are feeling" is not a news story.
These reports serve no purpose other than to create distance in the eyes of the American public between the genocidal monster Benjamin Netanyahu and the president who is unconditionally supporting his genocidal atrocities in every way possible.
They are PR spin and nothing more, which would be surprising to anyone who still believes the mainstream western press exist to report the news instead of promulgate propaganda for the advancement of the information interests of the western empire.
All they are doing here is trying to wash this administrations hands of the horrors that are being inflicted in the middle east with the direct facilitation of this administration.
Do not let them!!
All the monstrous actions being perpetrated by Israel today are just as much the fault of the United States government as they are of Israel itself.
This is who they are! Make them own it!
