State Department email about terror attack forgets to mention ISRAEL!

But frets about harm to 'American Muslims and Arab-Americans'

An email from Joe Biden's Department of State that appears intended to reassure employees of their rights – and health and safety – following the atrocity-filled terror attack by Hamas on Israel failed to mention that it was Israel that was targeted.

And it doesn't mention that Jews were the victims of the slaughter that left 1,400 dead.

It was from Richard R. Verma, the deputy secretary for management and resources, and does mention "horrible acts of antisemitism and Islamophobia" and specifically cites "anti-Arab prejudice."

It offers guidance for those "impacted by antisemitism; American Muslims and Arab-Americans."

They are told seeking help will not affect their security clearances, and are informed, "Your well-being is mission critical—please take a moment to identify and access the resources here at State that are available to you."

A report at the Washington Free Beacon explains the email, "consoling its employees," was to address the "professional and personal effects of a region in crisis."

The report said, "The email comes as the White House has faced criticism for waving off journalists’ questions about rising anti-Semitism while invoking concerns about the potential for increased Islamophobia. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre, for example, drew criticism on Wednesday after she appeared to duck a question about Biden’s 'level of concern right now about the potential rise of anti-Semitism.'"

Is the Biden administration determined to forget Israel?

Verma listed resources, such as mental health counseling, for those who felt they needed help.

When asked about anti-Semitism, Jean-Pierre said the administration hadn't seen "credible threats," then immediately turned the subject, with, "Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks."

In reality, the report said, "There have been dozens of high-profile anti-Semitic incidents since the Oct. 7 onslaught, which was the deadliest assault on Jews since the Holocaust. Law enforcement officials have also reported a spike in anti-Jewish attacks in the United States."

For example, the Anti-Defamation League reported 312 anti-Semitic incidents in the three weeks since the war broke out, up by four times from just a year earlier.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: "Our country is going communist!" warned Donald Trump recently. "It's going Marxist, it's going REALLY bad." He added, "The PEOPLE of our country aren't that way – but the people RUNNING it are." Is this just election-season bluster and hyperbole, or can the utterly unthinkable be true?

Incredibly, it is true. In 2023 America, the Democratic Party – its agendas, its core values, its wall-to-wall dishonesty, and its audacious and utterly ruthless methods – are virtually indistinguishable from those of modern-day communists. Compare the Communist Party USA's website, CPUSA.org (where the featured top-of-page story is about "TRANS RIGHTS"), with the Democratic National Committee's website, Democrats.org, and try to discern any substantive difference.

America's plunge into atheistic Marxism in virtually every area of life – from weaponizing government and courts to destroy critics and political opponents, to crushing free speech, to corrupting and brainwashing the nation's children, and much much more – is all stunningly explored in the October issue of WND's critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled "AMERICA'S COMMUNIST REVOLUTION: How the freest nation in history is rapidly becoming a Marxist police state." Beyond exposing the Marxist takeover of America's key institutions, this explosive special report goes on to reveal how Marxism/communism is ACTUALLY A MAJOR WORLD RELIGION, albeit a false and malevolent one. It unearths what REALLY motivates the "high priests" of this truly dark atheistic faith, which has captivated untold millions and murdered millions more. And it vividly illustrates exactly how and why citizens of the greatest nation in history are now experiencing – to quote Barack Obama's words – "a fundamental transformation of the United States of America." This Whistleblower issue is a crucial wake-up call for all Americans. WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
