We had to check the date on this tweet to see if it was real (it was tweeted Wednesday). The United States Ambassador to the UN, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, expressed that "we" are "deeply troubled" by a sharp rise in violence against Palestinians by "extremist Israeli settlers."

Who's "we"? And just what are we talking about when we refer to "extremist Israeli settlers"? This sounds a lot like how the U.S. government refers to "right-wing extremists" and "ultra-MAGA Republicans."

That should have happened decades ago.

Those committing the violence — Hamas — must be held accountable.
