He undoubtedly has more information about what’s going on than most people who aren’t there but he also has different motives. Where you or I might view genocide as unacceptable under any circumstances, he’s viewing it through a lens of constantly needing to maintain and grow American power and resources. He believes that the US relationship with Israel furthers that goal so Israel performing genocide gets a pass. He rationalizes it by believing that whatever is (capitalism’s definition of) good for America is good for all Americans.
They might be saying that they don’t give the same weight to the kinds of information on ‘the same news’ perhaps because there’s other stuff he’s paying attention to. Idk, that sounds pretty reasonable to me. I think it’s easy to say people at the top of the political pyramid don’t value human lives the same as those at the base.

He probably goes straight to bed right after he verbatim reads whatever note Netanyahu gives him.
