Ben Rhodes, who once said that the reporters among who he was able to create an “echo chamber” about the Iran deal “literally know nothing,” apparently is sticking to that belief, because what he tweeted Monday has nothing to do with the AP story he was retweeting:
Imagine having your home destroyed just because of who you are, and that being the point. https://t.co/4yUUEdfIDz

Imagine having your home destroyed just because of who you are … no, seriously, imagine it, because it didn’t happen. The Israeli military ordered the construction to stop years ago, and Israel’s Supreme Court just this month rejected the residents’ final appeal.
This is a complete and total lie, lazy as can be, as even a cursory look at the issue will reveal. These were illegally built structures. The case went all the way to the Israeli supreme court, which approved the demolition. https://t.co/Tw9mSXOLPg

Imagine ignoring the actual reason for the destruction of these homes in order to propagandize against Israel. https://t.co/RRGGiwuECj

The Israelis demolished those homes because they were built right next to the security barrier, creating a security risk. If Israel wanted to pursue widespread demolition of Palestinian housing, why would they restrict it to this particularly contentious, long-running legal case?

Imagine having your country decimated by suicide bombers and rocket attacks for years—just because of who you are—and then being smeared for taking steps to protect your civilians from terrorism.

Imagine if multi-story buildings built along a security fence by the people who hate the people on the other side were considered a security threat!

not to bust the narrative, but the buildings were destroyed because they straddled separation zone and had been litigated for a year. It affected 20 people already living in the buildings, and 350 owners of properties that were under construction or not yet inhabited.

Liar.
Those homes were ordered by a court to be taken down because they were built illegally and the occupants knew it.
Liar.— John Liberty (@JohnLibertyUSA) July 23, 2019
The circumstances under which the house being demolished are a bit…concerning (Area A, but near the security fence)
But claiming their homes are being destroyed SIMPLY because they are Palestinian is an ignorant and baseless smear.
Learn to have some shame.

Ever ask yourself “why did all the foreign policy messaging of the Obama years sound like it was written by an anti-Israel crank?”
