Why are they going this far to the mat on their messaging and optics about this?

Obviously the US is always going to support its #1 vassal in the region. Its actions will always be to support Isreal in ots canpaign of apartheid and genocide. That's what they've been doing for decades.

But usually they play this game of looking like they almost kind of care about Palestinians. Not in a material way, but just in messaging and optics. Like what's to be lost in not going full ghoul just in a press conference?

I'm glad their message is matching their actions for once so it can radicalize some people on this, i just don't get what's in it for them?

If you watch the video, it’s some wishy washy nonsense about how “the president is heartbroken about the suffering of innocent Palestinians” and the “conflict” is tragic. They’re not going full ghoul.
