Linguistic Horseshit

 I watch PBS NewsHour most evenings.

I am really tired of hearing interviews of Biden Administration spokespeople who dance around, obfuscate and, when pressed with horrifying facts, justify the obvious actual horror: Israel is now and has been for the totality of its time of return to Palestine, post WWII, dedicated to wiping out, or criminally diasporing, the indigenous population.

And - the obfuscating interviews notwithstanding - the Israelis are frighteningly, inexorably, efficient in achieving their goal. 

The verbal gymnastics deployed to deliver the US's indefensible message every NewsHour are boring, tiring and insulting to anyone with a brain.

Or a heart.

Or, more unlikely, a soul.
