ALL Mainstream Western Institutions View Palestinian Lives As Worthless
The BBC recently interviewed an Israeli settler who said that all the Palestinians in four surrounding villages should be exterminated to avenge an Israeli who was killed while terrorizing a Palestinian village last month, adding that just a single Jewish life is worth ten million Palestinian lives.
“I think now after they kill one Israeli people, we need to kill all the people in Tal and Sarra, even Jit and Farata,” lawyer Yehuda Shimon told the BBC.
“It sounds like you’re saying one Jewish life is worth hundreds or thousands of Palestinian lives,” replied the BBC’s Lucy Williamson in the interview.
“Million,” Shimon corrected her. “One Jewish life, it’s ten million, okay?”
“That just sounds racist,” Williamson responded, to which Shimon replied, “Yes, I know, I know. But this is the truth.”
The interaction has been going viral on social media as people react to the blatant display of the extremist ideology held by the settlers who are working to gradually squeeze Palestinians off their land in the West Bank. And while it is true that Shimon’s comments are extremely evil and racist, that’s not what I personally found interesting about the interview. What I found interesting was Williamson’s response.
I mean, it is a bit rich watching a BBC reporter act shocked and offended by somebody saying they think Jewish lives are worth more than Palestinian lives. After all, the premise that Jewish lives are worth more than Palestinian lives has colored every aspect of western news media reporting on Israel and Palestine for generations.
That’s why the western press expressed disproportionately more shock and horror at October 7 than the far more egregious Israeli abuses which led up to it and the far more egregious Israeli abuses which followed. It’s why you saw howling outrage at the Bondi shooting in Sydney last year when the same number of Palestinians getting killed on any given day in Gaza never even makes a blip in the news.
On the 26th of March 2025, 15 Palestinians were killed by the IDF during a ceasefire in Gaza. On the 14th of December that same year, 15 people were killed at Bondi Beach in Sydney in a mass shooting by ISIS members directed at Jewish Australians.
Two instances of mass murder. Same exact number of victims. But you only heard about one of them.
Why did you only hear about one of them? Because only one of them made the news.
The mainstream press spent weeks urgently reporting on the Bondi shooting, frenetically working to falsely associate an ISIS terrorist attack with pro-Palestine demonstrations by uniformly repeating the line “This is what globalize the intifada looks like” in news outlets throughout the western world. Report after report after report was published about how Jews are being attacked, how Jews are feeling unsafe, and what new laws and free speech restrictions must be rolled out in order to stomp out pro-Palestine sentiment to protect the Jews.
Nothing remotely similar happened on the 26th of March, 2025. As far as the western press were concerned, 15 Palestinians getting killed in Gaza was just another Wednesday.
This is because all mainstream western media outlets hold the same racist opinions about Palestinians as those that were voiced by Yehuda Shimon. So do all mainstream western political parties. So do all other mainstream western institutions. So do all supporters of the state of Israel. They all believe Jewish lives are worth more than Palestinian lives, as evidenced by the policies they support and the news stories they pay attention to.
The BBC has a well-documented history of extensive pro-Israel bias, with its own reporters complaining that they’ve been performing PR for the Israeli government and its own editor losing a libel lawsuit against a journalist who exposed his pro-Israel slant. They spent years running cover for an active genocide with “Hamas-run health ministry says” headlines and passive-language verbal gymnastics to protect Israeli information interests, so you know that when Lucy Williamson objects “That sounds racist!” to an Israeli settler claiming Jewish lives are worth far more than Palestinian lives, she’s not actually upset at his belief system. She just knows you’re not supposed to say such things out loud.

For 80 years Palestinians have been telling the world what Israel has done, and at no point have they ever been credible as narrators of their own experience. Only years later when Western NGOs and scholars have pored over it, it's like "Oops. Turns out they were right, but too late now." And yet if an Israeli says there have been 40 beheaded babies put in the other oven and a million mass rapes without any shred of corroborating evidence it is believed IMMEDIATELY, without qualification.
Even Oct 7th, literally nobody has put any credence or research into Hamas/Islamic Jihad claims of that day, and yet their story hews far closer to the available evidence, where Israel had none at all. They are written off as having no credibility while some Israeli said says they saw heads on spikes and breasts used as hacky sacks and it just becomes fact. That should tell you have incredibly racist institutional consciousness is towards Palestinians.
Please. Please always put “Israel” in quotes.
The modern nation is 100% illegitimate.
The original, biblical version was destroyed by God Himself by the hands of the Roman’s way back in 70ad just as Jesus promised would happen.
The founding documents for the modern nation in the early 1900’s clearly show it is fraudulent. John Hopkins university proved the dna is NOT Jewish descent but rather European and Ukrainian. The majority of citizens of this fraudulent nation admit to just being a convert and not legitimately a descendant of anything. Satanyahoo himself, that goes by the fake name Netanyahu, admits that his real name is milikowski and his family are settlers from Poland. It’s all 100% fraud.
These people are satanic, pedophile, sodomite homosexuals and have nothing to do with the original Israel from the Bible no matter how much propaganda and lies they spew to try to convince gullible Christians that they are.
Just notice how and why they chose the name “Israel”… they voted for Zion first and it failed. Judah second and it failed. They settled on “Israel” because they knew us would be especially deceptive and fool many into believing the lies.
