In a shocking turn of events, the State Department has revealed that they have provided guidance to more than 25,000 people in Israel, the West Bank, and Iran in English. Yes, you read that right – English! Because apparently, nothing says “international diplomacy” like speaking in a language that not everyone understands.
According to a spokesperson for the State Department, they believe that providing guidance in English is the best way to ensure that everyone receives the information they need. When asked why they didn’t provide guidance in Hebrew, Arabic, or Farsi, the spokesperson simply replied, “Well, English is the language of diplomacy, isn’t it? Plus, we figured Google Translate could handle the rest.”
One of the recipients of this English guidance, a man named John Smithowitz from Tel Aviv, had this to say about the experience: “I was really confused at first when I received the email in English. But then I remembered that American exceptionalism knows no bounds, so I just went with it.”
And in a bizarre twist, it seems that the State Department has also been sending out guidance in the form of memes. Yes, you heard that right – memes! When asked about this unusual approach, the spokesperson responded, “We figured if we’re going to confuse people with English, we might as well throw in a few memes to really drive the point home.”
One of the recipients of these meme-filled guidance emails, a woman named Karen McSnark from Jerusalem, had this to say: “At first, I thought it was a joke. But then I realized that the State Department is just really ahead of the curve when it comes to communication strategies. Who needs boring old emails when you can have memes instead?”
So there you have it, folks. The State Department is revolutionizing international diplomacy, one English guidance email and meme at a time. Who knows what they’ll come up with next? Maybe a TikTok dance tutorial on how to negotiate a peace treaty. Stay tuned!
