Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses emotional language to describe the situation in Gaza as a humanitarian crisis and an enormous civilian toll without providing any context or evidence for these claims. This is misleading because it implies that Israel's actions are solely responsible for this crisis when there are many factors at play. Secondly, the article quotes Biden saying that Israel's military campaign has been 'over the top', but does not provide any specific examples of what he means by this or how it differs from other military campaigns. This is deceptive because it implies that Israel's actions were disproportionate without providing any evidence to support this claim. Thirdly, the article quotes Biden saying that he hopes a cease-fire can lay the groundwork for changing the course of the war, but does not provide any specific details about what changes he is referring to or how they will be achieved. This is deceptive because it implies that there are clear solutions to this conflict without providing any evidence or context for these claims.

The author uses language that dehumanizes the Palestinians in Gaza by describing them as 'innocent people' who are 'starving', and their situation as a humanitarian catastrophe.

The author of the article is critical of Israel's military response in Gaza and suggests that it has been over the top.
