Caitlin Johnstone on Media Complicity in Genocide

 


Caitlin Johnstone dedicated a post to the same topic of my last post: "Imagine if Russia or China Did the Things Israel Is Doing In Gaza."

Imagine how the western political-media class would be acting if Russia or China was bombing and starving a walled-in population of two million, half of them children. Seriously, imagine it. Imagine the rage and vitriol. Imagine the nonstop media coverage. 

When Russia invaded Ukraine, US media coverage of that war exceeded the media coverage of all US wars in the previous three decades. If Russia were deliberately and systematically exterminating civilians in Ukraine or anywhere else, the western media coverage of those war crimes would be many times more. 

It’s almost cliché at this point to say “imagine if Russia or China did this”, but such comparisons are important for retaining a sense of perspective on just how evil the western political-media class is being about Gaza right now. We’re seeing articles come out in the mass media about starvation in Gaza which never once even mention the word “Israel”. Do you think that would be happening if this were being perpetrated by a government which defies the western empire? Of course not.

A previous posting by her had been about how many things are being destroyed in Gaza.  One of them was "Western Civilization."

Media Complicity in Genocide of the Palestinians

 


Here are the top stories at today's CBC News website: The ISIS attack in Moscow, Kate Middleton's cancer, a new security law in Hong Kong that Western hypocrites are crying crocodile tears over, and Trump being unable to post a $400 million bond.

The first story on the second tier is "Russia, China reject US-led Gaza ceasefire resolution at the UN."  It's not bad, so far as Western "journalism" goes.  It is clear that the Russians reject a motion calling for an "imperative" FOR a ceasefire, and not for a ceasefire itself.  It mentions that 60% of the children in Gaza are reported as malnourished but then uncritically provides some Israeli-nazi pig saying there's no hunger and that aid is getting in.

The story also mentions a raid on the Al-Shifa Hospital.  That raid has its own story with a separate headline: "Israel says it has killed 90 gunmen after raid at Al-Shifa Hospital, an allegation Hamas denies."  The story would be much improved by mentioning that Israeli nazis have lied consistently about the hospital being used by Hamas as a base for military operations.

Out of thirty-one stories, the deliberate mass-murder of perhaps 200,000 people and potentially over a million more by starvation in the coming weeks, there are two headlines.  Both stories give a respectful hearing to the nonsensical lies of the Israeli nazis.  Israel is a protected ally of the USA's and Canada.  We're sending them weapons and they're commmitting a genocide and we're yammering like shit-heads about Russia's plans for world domination.

The CBC knows what it's doing.  "Sins of ommission."  To help Israel perpetrate a genocide.


Jonathan Cook (via Consortium News) lays it all out in "How Western Media Built the Case for Genocide."  

Faced with a plausible case of genocide — one being televised for months on end — even the liberal elements of the Western media have shown they have no serious commitment to the liberal democratic values they are supposedly there to uphold.  

They are not a watchdog on power, either the power of the Israeli military or Western states colluding in Israel’s slaughter. Rather the media are central to making the collusion possible. They are there to disguise and whitewash it, to make it look acceptable.

Indeed, the truth is that, without that help, Israel’s allies would long ago have been shamed into action, into stopping the slaughter and starvation. The Western media’s hands are stained in Gaza’s blood.

Read the whole thing.

I could only watch five minutes of these disgusting idiots

 The Grayzone has footage from inside the zionist/nazi citizens starvation brigades ...


This is the sort of moral garbage that the Trudeau Liberals and the Poilievre Conservatives support unequivocally.  These assholes HAVE their country.  They want Gaza and the West Bank too.  And guess what?  Some of these nutjobs look to their goat-herder era religious scribblings and believe they're entitled to more on top of that.  This delusional greed is the cause of the violence but these morons still think they're at war with Hitler. 

Idiots.

Richard Medhurst Documents Consequences of Israeli Barbarism

 Have started a new job and my sleep is off and I don't have the time to write anything today.  But I thought that I'd share this Richard Medhurst video where he discusses trying to grasp the enormity of Israel's crimes in the Holocaust in Gaza.


This is the evil that Biden, Trudeau, Joly, Freeland, Poilievre, ad nauseum support.

"Human Shields" n' Other Stuff

 


One of the stupid lies proffered by the Israeli Nazi Party and the Israeli Wehrmacht is that Hamas is to be blamed for Palestinian civilian casualties because Hamas imbeds itself within Palestinian civilians, using them as "human shields."  And this stupid lie was swallowed by Western cowards, shitheads and dullards, as if innocent people being used as "human shields" have been removed from all legal protections by the actions of their captors.  As if it's simply understood that you can blast away at "human shields" to get at the "bad guys" and that this is just a (perhaps sad) rule of engagement between warring parties.

Of course, that obliterates the whole point of the word "shields" in the term "human shields."  So, the Israeli Wehrmacht's argument is complete bullshit.

Macron Needs to be Locked Up

 


If you don't read M. K. Bhadrakumar's blog, you should.  A retired Indian diplomat, his analysis of world events is objective, informed and inspired by humanistic principles.  In the post I've linked to he discusses China's upcoming attempt at shuttle-diplomacy between Russia and NATO as the latter's leadership appear to be losing their minds.  Russia is humiliating NATO, which figured that the combination of crippling sanctions and a Western-trained Ukraine would have at least severely weakened Russia, if it didn't lead to the collapse of the Putin government and the reconquest of the Donbas.

Bhadrakumar mentions French President Macron's defending his recent outburst about sending French troops to fight Russia in Ukraine:

Joly Calls Gaza Massacre "A Nightmare"


Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister and Deputy-Chief Bootlicker to J. R. Biden and B. Netanyahu and War Criminal, Melanie Joly, called the IDF's shooting of starving Palestinians assembling to get desperately needed food from trucks that entered North Gaza "a nightmare." 

OTTAWA - 

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly said the deaths of dozens of people waiting for an aid convoy in Gaza was "a nightmare" and called for an end to fighting in the enclave on Thursday.

Gaza health authorities said more than 100 Palestinians were shot dead by Israeli forces. Israel challenged the death toll and said many of the victims were run over by aid trucks.

"When it comes to what happened in Gaza today ... I must say I think this is a nightmare," Joly told reporters in Ottawa. "We need to make sure that international aid is sent into Gaza and that people are protected when they go and get that aid."

What a disgusting idiot she is.
