USA government is like "We are giving more bombs to the government that is blowing up mass numbers of civilians with bombs. But worry not, we said 'Please don't use these bombs to blow up civilians.' so we are trying to stop the civilian deaths."
I think what is happening here is they are trying to be so brazen about killing so many innocent people that people who witness won't be able to believe it, and will automatically assume there is some kind of complexity to the situation they don't understand.
It almost works—it's so cruel and evil that it barely makes sense. It is so obvious that what is happening to the Palestinian people is wrong, there must be something I am missing, if there is arguing about it, right?
But no. Mass murder of innocent civilians is straightforwardly evil and the USA government has just been assuming we (usamericans) will all stay ignorant about the suffering of Palestinians and somehow be too stupid and racist to understand that blowing up thousands of children is bad.
