As Israel escalates its attacks on Gaza, the State Department is discouraging diplomats working on Middle East issues from making public statements suggesting the U.S. wants to see less violence, according to internal emails viewed by HuffPost.

In messages circulated on Friday, State Department staff wrote that high-level officials do not want press materials to include three specific phrases: “de-escalation/ceasefire,” “end to violence/bloodshed” and “restoring calm.”

    Fr though, when was the last time a lib have you a book suggestion and said, this will change the way you think about everything and they were right?

    Non-fiction humanities? Literally never.

    I like to believe I'm a pretty open-minded person. Liberalism is a dead end for open minds; an amorphous cage that can be everything and anything you want it to be at any given time.

    Fiction? Labyrinths by Borges. The guy was an avid anti-communist and he can burn for that, but damn he does psychological terror really well.
