The Biden administration requested Israel detail the thinking and process behind the recent strike on the Jabalia Refugee Camp in Northern Gaza, according to a U.S. official, who like others was granted anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations.

"The U.S. asked for an explanation of the first [attack] on Jabalia," said the official, adding that the conversation was in the context of "asking Israel to do more to avoid civilian casualties."

That sounds a lot like he was proposing literal terrorism?

Yep.

Just wait until you hear that on July 19th 2018, Israel passed the nation-state law which states in it's basic principles, "The right to exercise national self-determination in the State of Israel is unique to the Jewish people." Meaning Arabs and Muslims are not entitled to the same rights or freedom as Jewish people.

Generally yeah, but I don't think an established and recognized independent nation-state can say it's fighting for its freedom.

And do we have any proof that it wasn't just some stupid thing somebody stupid said that nothing came out of?

I never even heard of that guy and can't find him on Google.

@thatsage google sucks these days. Use DuckDuckGo, that guy's linkedin is on the front page for me, among other things, so is his obituary.

I think the notable part is that someone in that position had that attitude.
