Outgoing United States Ambassador to Israel, Thomas Nides, says he regrets a recent tweet in which he equated the murder of Israeli civilians by Arab terrorists to deaths caused in IDF anti-terror operations.

"I screwed up," Nides told Israel Hayom's Ariel Kahana in an interview which will be published on Friday. "I had just returned from Los Angeles when I got word of the attack. I was shown a draft of a tweet, and I signed off on it. But it was a stupid thing to do," he recounted.

Nice to have staff to throw under the bus.

Of course he could try not hiring anti-Israel commies, and not being one himself, then he wouldn’t have these problems

I was shown a draft of a tweet, and I signed off on it.

Many famous Twitter accounts are "handled" by retarded 20-somethings.

Including the Pants-Shizzer-In-Chief.

Sounds like the fallout from the 2020 election.

Further proof that the Foreign Service is riddled with pseudointellectual woketards. But then again, it always has been.

Well, Israel is now getting close to China, I guess this is one more reason for that (in addition to us nagging Israel to turn over their Iron Dome system to the Russians in Ukraine).

Biden is in control. He has placed people in charge of every department, agency, and embassy with people who HATE what they are in charge of.

As a Biden administration official I can accept I screwed up. Screw up are pretty common there. Of course so is lying, but he's gone anyway. Presuming the aide writing the tweet was fired, I say he screwed up. If not you're into the wide wide, wide world of Biden disinformation and deceit.

The lies perpetrated by the left are so pervasive, voluminous and complex, they can’t help but occasionally reveal their true motives and beliefs inadvertently. A tangled web indeed!
