I wish this came from a parody account

I ask you: Is today, or this week, really the time and place to write something like this?  It's beyond tone deaf.  


UPDATE (in case you thought it couldn't get worse) --  transcript from today's press briefing:

REPORTER: What is Biden's level of concern right now about a potential rise of antisemitism in light of everything that's going on in Israel?

JEAN-PIERRE: So a couple of things. Um, look, we have no seen any credible threats. I know there's been always questions about credible threats and so, I just want to make sure that's out there. 

But look, Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks, and certainly, President Biden understands that many of our Muslim, Arab, Arab-American, and Palestinian-American loved ones are worried about the hate being directed at their communities, and that is something you heard the president speak to in his address just last Thursday. 

And so, one of the things that the president has done is directed his team, Homeland Security team to prioritize prevention and disruption of any emerging threats that could hurt the Jewish, the Muslim, Arab Americans, or any other communities, and that is something the president has sought to do since day one. As you know, the president ran on, on, you know, bringing, protecting communities but also bringing communities together, protecting the soul of the nation. And so, that is something the president takes very, very seriously, and we're going to continue to denounce any sort of hate toward any American here, and that's what we're going to continue to be steadfast on.

  1. what's the question? someone like Biden is always going to be the fair-minded one, trying to appease everyone and "make peace"... for better or worse

  2. His talk about Islamaphobia and concern for civilian deaths is vitally important. America's firm support of Israel could lead all Muslims to believe that the US hates Islam. It is vitally important that he broadcast his concern for the welfare of Muslims, to emphasize that the support for Israel is based on moral conviction, or some other consideration, and not hatred for Muslims.
