| Leaked US diplomatic cable from Oman embassy 'warns Biden's support for Israel's military campaign is losing us Arab publics for a generation | |
| 2023-11-11 | |
A confidential message from the US Embassy in Oman on Wednesday read, 'we are losing badly on the messaging battlespace' as Arab leaders judge the US' support for Israel's 'material and moral culpability in what they consider to be possible war crimes'. The cable, from the second-highest official in Muscat, was sent to security outfits including the White House's National Security Council, the CIA and the FBI, and cited conversations with 'a wide range of trusted and sober-minded contacts'. Rights organizations and protestors have mounted pressure on Israel-aligned governments to call for a ceasefire in recent weeks, amid a devastating bombardment of the Gaza Strip. The Hamas-run Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza says 10,800 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict, including 4,400 children. In the occupied West Bank, more than 160 Palestinians have been killed. More than 1,400 people were slaughtered when Hamas gunmen stormed Israel on October 7, and about 240 hostages were taken from Israel into Gaza.

| #1 Actually, Arabs more tired of "Palestinians" than anybody but Israel. And more afraid of Iran than Dems are of Trump. |
