Biden administration actively censoring the word "Palestine" just like the New York Times

  This is literally because the US does not officially recognize Palestine as a sovereign state. If they were to call it Palestine, they would be undermining the government’s stance. That doesn’t mean they agree with it, in fact her slipping on it could be a sign she personally disagrees with the government’s stance. However the feds have never formally recognized it as a state and for them to do so publicly would put their jobs in jeopardy.

  Not agreeing with any of it, just wanted to make sure the reason this is happening is clear.

    Thanks for the clarification, I didn’t realize we were doing the “Taiwan is Greater China” thing as well.

      It’s worth noting that the US does recognize the Palestinian National Authority as the leader of the Palestinian territories, and the Palestinian Libertarian Organization as the leader of the Palestinian people

      It’s just the country “Palestine” that is not recognized.

      Wikipedia sums it up well:

      It was a nice laugh to see China as one of the countries which officially recognizes Palestine as a sovereign state.

  Since the US doesn't officially recognize Palestine as a sovereign state, it would be a blunder for individual officials to name it.

    When the goal to wipe these people out then of course you censor it our refuse to acknowledge it. It’s 1984. Israel is causing genocide and US is complacent since we fund them.
