If any media publication decided to publish the names of all the children, way less than 19 years old, had been murdered by the IDF, they wouldn't have room to print anything else.
Last month Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib presented a 649-page list to Congress documenting the Palestinians killed in Gaza by Israel. The first 14 pages (710 names) are children less than 1 year old:
I admire Rashida Tliab for her steadfast commitment to her people, the Palestinians. She, as far as I know, is the only one in Congress that sat holding a sign that said ‘War Criminal’ during Natanyhu’s despicable speech to Congress. She has a heart, a soul unlike most of her colleagues.😢☮️🇵🇸
Washing dishes, I actually took a minute to remember Aaron Bushnell today and somehow felt some of the depth of how hard it must have been for him to witness all of this, and how prescient he was to see its sheer ugliness as it continues to careen down the slope to a wider war that could send us all to hell. Because as has happened for decades now, the US government serves not its citizens, but rather the needs of the ultrawealthy Zionist madmen in the world. How terribly pathetic.
A sad and weak country, Vin, all of which could have been stopped by the world's #1 murderer, Biden.
Some rule should be established throughout the world that a person who would not be able to legally drive a car, who cannot walk in a straight line, who cannot even put two sentences together, cannot be a leader of a country of 330 million people while being told what to do by a barbaric race of religious zealots. "God's chosen people".
Not any God I know.
He finished up his career, if that's what it was, as the greatest liar unhung and soon to be replaced by someone with the same mindset. A follow on from Bush, Obama and Trump.
What a record. The United Mass Murderers of America.
An 18 year old asked yesterday if Biden is representative of the average American. I advised him in no uncertain terms and taking into consideration his youth, therefore with some respect, that he is not normal in any way, has values dictated by those who pull his strings and is history's greatest killer in the last 75 years. He could have stopped the killing, but didn't.
"The very opposite of all the Americans I have met in 50 years." was my conclusion.
"Where are those Americans you have met today" he asked, not really believing my answer.
"Sadly, they like all other Americans with be voting for one of two candidates, identical in every way. Now that would be of concern to them all, I do know that much. But America is a country where you buy your politicians and there is nothing to stop you from controlling the whole country as is the case right now. 86% of politicians are owned by Israel, the most hated state in history; yes, even more that Germany in WWII"
"How did he allow them to be killed".
We all know the answer to that one and now, so does he. Voting for the first time in his country with the same choices as in the USA.....two candidates from the two parties, identical in their corrupted values and both supporting both Israel and America and contributing as a now very weak US vassal state, one of so many around the world.
Having lived in the USA for 40 years I’ve gotta say I never met one person (except my husband) with whom I could discuss the Palestinian cause, the need for a universal health care system, the evil of the US foreign policy, etc. Eyes would glaze over or I’d be attacked. Americans believe ardently in their exceptionalism, even the so-called progressives.
In my former community (a bastion of liberalism) there is a deathly silence about what Israel is doing to the Palestinians.
Pure fantasy to think and believe that you and a handful of friends you’ve met, are all that is left who morally oppose what is going on in the US and what is now global. You’re not wrong in much of what you say but I know hundreds who are in opposition to what is going on and in no way other than that which is forced, willingly support the Empire of Lies. You are not the remnant of a lost civilization. There are many many more of you.
I think this collective blame is dangerous, that’s exactly the way Israhell and Zionists are behaving with Palestinians, making you just as bad as them! I’m not in the US but our government in the UK are just as complicit and they do not represent me in any way.
i'm an american, i stopped voting about 25 years ago, i think the country is rotten to the core. I don't want to go out there alone throwing molotov cocktails, suicide with no point.
Collective guilt is wrong both morally and factually. That you can do it, for whatever reasons, should help give you some insight into the thinking of those who use collective guilt to go on to justify collective punishment.
The USA has used collective guilt to justify all of its crimes against humanity. Japan, Vietnam, Iraq, Cuba, on and on. It’s what they do. It’s because Americans have never had to suffer collectively for the crimes of their govt that some here are outraged at that idea. That outrage is a form of American exceptionalism. Perhaps if Americans own up to their responsibility, they might rise up and revolt. I won’t hold my breath.
either way, it seems to be a strong unifier. 'collective responsability' sounds ok. those things are not easily found in a system where a minority leeches off the majority. one day 'usa, usa, usa !' and the next 'not my government'. (i refer again to southpark episode 100).
The vast majority of Americans are victims of that same system, and the same goes for Britain, the country from which America took over the role of imperialist hegemon.
I understand your anger (I'm sure we all do) but there are many Americans who hate their ruling class as much as you do. The shitlibs who will rush to defend that ruling class because they believe the bourgeois propaganda, now THEY are deserving of scorn
You are among a very small minority in the US if you speak out against the ruling class.
The Brits are not victims either. They mostly support the imperialism their country’s wealth was built on. But they’re not as impoverished as Americans. At least they have universal healthcare (even though it’s being eroded it still exists) and more than 2 awful parties to vote for.
Britons are much poorer than Americans, the NHS notwithstanding.
If you are familar with the body of artistic compositions known as "Looney Tunes", you may be aware of a small yappy dog that follows Spike The Bulldog around, singing Spike's praises, getting slapped around by Spike, and getting Spike into stupid fights.
You obviously have not seen the 400 thousand plus protesters who Dr. Jill STEIN addresses! I don't know where you are getting you info from but it is Wrong! 86% of Americans want an end to Ukraine funding. 60% want an end to Israel. The creatures in our government as in the UK are our enemies also! They do not give a shit about us and they are actively destroying our countries!
I would like to add one more statement to this post in that I myself grew up between and with 2 different tribes of North American Indians the Cherokee and the Cheyenne. I have loved these people my whole life and I know first hand the abuse this fucking government and many citizens have imposed on them. From when riding in my friends car constantly being pulled over because of his race which did not happen with my car because of mine. All the way to every time there is a toxic fucking pipeline to be run these motherfuckers always put them through tribal lands even protected spiritual lands! I hate these motherfuckers with every breath I take and between crying at 3 in the morning to fierce anger at noon I can tell you I WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING THIS EVIL UNTIL MY LAST BREATH!
Not all Americans believe in American supremacy. We are few and far between but we exist. Many of us like me have long left the USA but remain stuck with the citizenship.
You obviously have never met an American. Anger is destroying your reasoning. There are many of us who have done everything possible to get rid of the creatures inhabiting the government. You can only understand how this happens by viewing the corruption itself. Zionist are the enemy of the world. Always have been. They have created the perfect storm. How 41%+ of the US are some form of Christian Zealot who have effectively been transformed into Zionist not even knowing it was done to them! For this reason it is difficult to even have an "Armed" resistance to this evil in DC because they would fight for their masters the Zionist Nazi politicians. The proper solution is to wipe out DC all in one go with every last Zionist Nazi piece of shit there at the same time! This has always been the problem the citizens suffer and get punished while the government is fat and untouched! Get the snakes head not the body!
yeah, protests dont do shit. Jill Stein will get millions of votes when she loses, and the fascists will still be in power, but a new generation of sheepdogs will arise to keep a lid on the simmering fury many ordinary middle class americans (the poor are too caught up in daily dramas arising from poverty and working mulitple jobs and voting has never worked for them anyway) feel as they gradually sink. my prediction is there will either be an external intervention, which the maniacs will respond to by nuking the world, or an internal uprising. general strikes to my limited knowledge would be more difficult and less likely to happen than multiple people going off in multiple states (think Aaron Bushnells without his amazing idealism, and fueled by rage) setting off a conflagration--the powers that be have been spreading fire accelerants on the ground for decades. true to form, they are ramping that up too, even as they start wars they can't win with nuclear powers who are trying to mind their own business peacefully--China, and yes, Russia. I don't know if Iran has nukes yet or not, but that is a war the US would need nukes to win anyway, and Russia and China would automatically be on Iran's side in that, knowing they were next.
Don't blame us, we were born that way, it's in our genes; you wouldn't blame a man for being gay; would you? It's in his genes, he can't help it. You wouldn't blame someone for having dark skin; would you? It's in their genes; same way with us; we're just a bunch of innocent, shit people, we can't help it; please understand, help us and love us; it's not our fault that we were born this way.
The truth hurts I guess. Americans support their terrorist govt. Otherwise they would do something to end its warmongering. Remember how Germany was treated after both world wars? The Allied view was that all Germans deserved to suffer. That’s what wars and sanctions do. Collective punishment. Americans have not been on the receiving end, yet.
You don't get it at all! The government in the US IS AN ILLEGAL ONE! They have violated so many of Us laws and Constitutional laws beyond the international laws that they are completely illegal. The problem is that the Filthy fucking traitors in the judicial system would punish anyone who went up against these filthy fucking Zionist Nazis like they did to Julian.
Y'know, I was desperately trying to stay out of this long thread because there's far too much ad-hominem merda in it for my liking. But as I was out in front of my house just now, watering and picking up the (daily) discarded soft drink containers that to me are a good representation of the deterioration of this society into utter mediocrity, my neighbor -- with his Harris/Walz yard signs asked me why I wasn't displaying any. I told him that I was voting against war, for Jill -- not the a-holes supporting genocide and the effing Zionist lunatics in Israel and the Biden/Harris administration.
This led to his rap about "Hamas terrorists".
"Jesus H, they're a guerilla movement trying to free themselves from a brutal illegal occupying force," I said. "Would you have condemned Sitting Bull and Geronimo for trying to kick the US cavalry off their land, for killing buffalo for sport? Condemn the Vietcong for opposing the US invasion of their country?" Since he's my neighbor, I shut my mouth before I screamed "wake the fuck up".
But alas, I do not think he heard me. That's one big fucking trouble in Amerika --- educational system failing to produce an adequate mass of critical thinkers who can, on their own, make the key connections that inform a genuine understanding of the arc of history, especially where it concerns their limited understanding of this country's crimes, which might threaten the easy casualness of their daily life. That's not a condemnation of every American, but there are so so many institutions within the society that are irretrievably corrupted. Why? Long story of perhaps good intentions gone awry. Or maybe more sinister than that; I'm no guru and can't make any more definitive statements without being a presumptuous a-hole --- which I'm trying hard to avoid. But thanks to everyone for the discussion. And once again, bless you Aaron Bushnell, you brave American soul.
Thanks. Likewise. I have only one like-minded couple around the block, who are my close friends; otherwise, this neighborhood, like the state of NM itself is revoltingly deep blue, so as usual in this absurd electoral system, my vote has essentially no impact other than its meaningfulness to me.
The MSM are but Renaissance courtiers without the colorful getups, and they know full well what "reporting" will get you awards, plum assignments and "off the record" talks with The Great And Good, and what sorts of reporting will get you assinged to cover allegations of corruption in bidding out latrines in Alaska or conversations about your next career.
The utter evil of it all. Caitlin puts into words in a way that most can’t or won’t. I’m glad that I have a conscience., and I am going to vote accordingly, I’m going to protest and keep protesting to destroy this evil!
And did you bother to follow the money? Who paid for those "peer reviews"? Take one look at the drastic increase in Carbon emissions! The highest ever in millions of years of data!
Oh Geez, the stories I could tell you. For about 10 years, early 90s, a chemist colleague and I did an integrated physical-biological science curriculum for college freshmen, and what it revealed about their underlying misconceptions was stunning. Then we tried to work with some HS science teachers, and the resistance to natural science integration (as though the fundamental principles shouldn't apply across them) was a further stunning indicator of why the standard US HS-educated American is in deep caca when it comes to genuine science ed.
Reminds of how one week during the Vietnam war Life magazine published the photos of all 500 or so US military who were killed that week over there. Meanwhile probably twice that number of Vietnamese civilians were killed by US bombing and other means in about the same time period with no mention. They were just "gooks" disposed of in "Injun country." More things change more they stay same.
No mention in the press that I could see that these four Israeli "boys"were sergeants in the unit that committed some of the worst war crimes/atrocities in Gaza.
Some folks would wave their finger at you and bellow: " vengeance is mine saith the lord". But y'know, after a year of this shit, of these fucking zionist subhumans, I'd have to opine that your wish is justified.
The clip from Sky News that names them included their military rank. All were Sergeant Zionist Zioniski. (I'm not going to taint myself by typing their names and giving them any more publicity).
I can’t conceive of the US hegemon and its complicit vassal West to ever, ever, be forgiven for its criminal partnership with a Zionist terror state . Brothers and sisters of the godly faithful can never forget or let the world forget what is happening here, and pursue these criminals into war crimes tribunals , empowering the justice system to confront the lawfare methods of the West in opposing this retribution!!
That's a big part of the problem! The judicial system is TOTALLY CORRUPTED! The Joint Chief of Staff and his cronies are TOTALLY CORRUPT! If the military had done its' duty June 8th 1967 LBJ and every single enemy agent from the Terrorist State of Israel would have faced the firing squad! Now the entirety of the US government with few exceptions should be put to that firing squad as they are the enemy.
“This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
This is why our ruling class is NOT normal. They are psychopaths/sociopaths. This is why we need to lock them up immediately and get the ICJ/ICC to put them on trial for their war crimes.
We can't wait any longer. It's been over a year now and we're still allowing them to genocide the Palestinians. Who's next? It could be YOU and YOURS. Don't think our psychotic ruling class isn't planning many more such actions in the near future. It's time to organize and tear the system down.
The headline called the 23 Palestinians killed - burned alive and subjected to the explosive force and fragmentation of US made bombs - "People"... It's a Yom Kippur MIRACLE... Their humanity has been acknowledged, in death, in a way that no true Zionist would EVER have acknowledged it, in life... Of course it makes no reference to their ages... And half of Gaza are Children, or at least - were. So just going by averages, while the 4 Zionist ADULT soldiers, in the headline were called "teenagers" - the headline could have been that at least 12 Children and 11 adult Palestinians were massacred in a civilian shelter setting - by the Zionist Entity.
Not a day goes by where I don’t wake up and wish to see Israel and/or the US (my country) get their shit shoved in. We would all love to see a scene play out where one or both of these bullies gets punched square in the face. After they stagger about or maybe even fall down, they get back up with their tail between their leg and repent. “I’m sorry I have learned my lesson” they would say.
But it doesn’t work like that. Nor will it happen like that. The entire Western Hegemonic system has been built on a house of cards. If they lose their aura of supremacy (economically or militarily) the house crumbles. And it will crumble exactly as you would expect a house made of cards to fall. This would create a global seismic shift in the world order perhaps greater than any world war in history. Disease, famine, starvation, and death as described by the book of revelations.
Please understand something, I am NOT trying to talk anyone out of feeling this way. Hell, I’m all in. I know that me, friends, family are going to all lose. But I also don’t believe we deserve to win anymore. Not for the sake of humanity at least.
We must force a fight NOW. Not overseas but here within our own framework of Western Civilization. This is what I have been trying to say.
I am fully with you in this respect. I have enough to survive for at the very least 5 years. Not in luxury by any means but to survive nonetheless. I am all in on destroying this government completely and let the whole thing collapse. They are actively destroying everything that was this country anyway and if that's what it takes to stop these evil creatures from harming another Palestinian baby or another human anywhere so be it. I will suffer whatever little amount that it compares to what the other people have had to suffer from this Zionist Nazi Terrorist HORDE!
You see clearly my friend. My intention was to warn others that when this thing goes down a beautiful peaceful flower will not readily emerge in its place. That will need to be earned the old fashioned way I assume. Lots of strife in the order of blood, sweat, and tears.
“Israel has named the four teenage victims of a Hezbollah drone strike on a military base — as at least 23 people were reportedly killed in an attack on a central Gaza school.”
4 teenage victims, eh? Probably Jewish dual-passported boys out for some fun, paid well and then shipped back home to the USA, Australia, UK, Germany, having fought bravely against unarmed opposition. They could easily have been part of the Israeli sniper brigade, represented in the media as being brave Israeli soldiers.
We all want to see punishment meted to Israel to show the arrogant genocidists that killing just for the sake of it is wrong. Throwing prisoners off the roof, using snipers to kill children, using drones to attract Palestinians out into the open so that they can be killed in this hundreds and bombing indiscriminately against countries that have no similar weaponry. Barbaric..
But the real pleasure one day will be to see the policy makers in the media face a pubic hearing in every country in the West. I want to be around for that one. So keep the clever but totally biased journalism for the trials to come, if this world ever recovers its decency and values.
Something akin to seeing the double dealing dished out by The Guardian, receiver and publisher of all Wilileaks material and profiting from the sales of such...until...the tide changes and this so-called responsible publication turned their back on Julian and in fact contributed to his arrest and vindictive treatment.
Someone made that decision then and in every publication, someone determines the policy. Then off go the journalist sheep with their fabrications or clever word manipulations to establish where the emphasis should be. The Western media emphasis is the same, day in and day out. Israel is the goodie and those multi millions of Hezbollah and Hamas, armed to the teeth are hiding in every school, in hundreds of tunnels, hiding caches of weapons, assaulting Israeli hostages who are being treated so badly but still alive. The same cannot be said for the Palestinians and Lebanese.
Sounds like the Western media? It is, straight from the front page.
Sky News belongs to Comcast the CEO of which is Jewish. Zionist? An analysis and survey of the heads of all major media as to their Israeli connection would be helpful in understanding the causes and motivations behind the sly difference appearing in verbiage and passive tense used to report events which fraudulently signal the innocuousness and victimization of the Israelis while obscuring the brutality of the Israelis and fraudulently suggesting a greater malevolence by Palestinians. Public knowledge of this is important if truth demands a balanced objective reportage - to rightly inform the American and Australian people.
The British Broadcasting Corporation, Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Radio New Zealand are each owned by their respective governments. And each of these media organisations’ coverage of Palestine and Lebanon is massively biased in similar ways to those highlighted by Caitlin in this essay. The pro-Israeli bias goes much deeper than just having Zionist CEOs and employees. There is an entrenched political agenda at play whose main purpose is to facilitate genocide. The United States is conducting a genocide, but these peripheral countries are aiding and abetting genocide.
If any media publication decided to publish the names of all the children, way less than 19 years old, had been murdered by the IDF, they wouldn't have room to print anything else.

https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/tlaib-submits-names-of-children--israel--killed-in-gaza-to-c
And those are just the official numbers. How do you count or formally report those under rubble, vaporised or in bits?
Congress are soulless amoral ghouls. Straight to hell they will go - all off them,
I don't know about the rest of them but Rashida Tlaib does not deserve that fate.
I admire Rashida Tliab for her steadfast commitment to her people, the Palestinians. She, as far as I know, is the only one in Congress that sat holding a sign that said ‘War Criminal’ during Natanyhu’s despicable speech to Congress. She has a heart, a soul unlike most of her colleagues.😢☮️🇵🇸
If only that would happen! What is more important than facing up to the reality of what Western governments really are?
Hi Susan T - I wouldn't trust the media on anything. Here is something I found. The numbers do not include after Oct 7, 2023 --
https://www.dci-palestine.org/child_fatalities_by_month
And they wouldn't have enough paper on which to publish their pictures.

Nope.
I hold every single American equally responsible and complicit in genocide, murder, child slaughter.
You Americans are evil and disgusting.
There is not an American that doesn't believe in American supremacy and the right to dominate the planet.
It has been the same since the indigenous indians were slaughtered, the Africans enslaved and the constant wars that have raged around the world.
You are all hypocrites, willfully ignorant of the crimes against humanity you commit EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of every day.
YOU vote for the people in power, YOU pay to kill and destroy, YOU consider all other races inferior, YOU are responsible.
Having lived in the USA for 40 years I’ve gotta say I never met one person (except my husband) with whom I could discuss the Palestinian cause, the need for a universal health care system, the evil of the US foreign policy, etc. Eyes would glaze over or I’d be attacked.

You are not the remnant of a lost civilization. There are many many more of you.
Why would people who are opposed to censorship, the spy/surveillance state, global wars etc., vote for either candidate?

The Allied view was that all Germans deserved to suffer. That’s what wars and sanctions do. Collective punishment. Americans have not been on the receiving end, yet.
You don't get it at all! The government in the US IS AN ILLEGAL ONE! They have violated so many of Us laws and Constitutional laws beyond the international laws that they are completely illegal. The problem is that the Filthy fucking traitors in the judicial system would punish anyone who went up against these filthy fucking Zionist Nazis like they did to Julian.
I mailed my ballot yesterday for Dr.Jill Stein. Here’s hoping there are millions who do the same.
Pray to St. Aaron for the strength to take out these madmen before they destroy us all.
Y'know, I was desperately trying to stay out of this long thread because there's far too much ad-hominem merda in it for my liking. But as I was out in front of my house just now, watering and picking up the (daily) discarded soft drink containers that to me are a good representation of the deterioration of this society into utter mediocrity, my neighbor -- with his Harris/Walz yard signs asked me why I wasn't displaying any. I told him that I was voting against war, for Jill -- not the a-holes supporting genocide and the effing Zionist lunatics in Israel and the Biden/Harris administration.
This led to his rap about "Hamas terrorists".
"Jesus H, they're a guerilla movement trying to free themselves from a brutal illegal occupying force," I said. "Would you have condemned Sitting Bull and Geronimo for trying to kick the US cavalry off their land, for killing buffalo for sport? Condemn the Vietcong for opposing the US invasion of their country?" Since he's my neighbor, I shut my mouth before I screamed "wake the fuck up".
But alas, I do not think he heard me. That's one big fucking trouble in Amerika --- educational system failing to produce an adequate mass of critical thinkers who can, on their own, make the key connections that inform a genuine understanding of the arc of history, especially where it concerns their limited understanding of this country's crimes, which might threaten the easy casualness of their daily life. That's not a condemnation of every American, but there are so so many institutions within the society that are irretrievably corrupted. Why? Long story of perhaps good intentions gone awry. Or maybe more sinister than that; I'm no guru and can't make any more definitive statements without being a presumptuous a-hole --- which I'm trying hard to avoid. But thanks to everyone for the discussion. And once again, bless you Aaron Bushnell, you brave American soul.
Thanks. Likewise. I have only one like-minded couple around the block, who are my close friends; otherwise, this neighborhood, like the state of NM itself is revoltingly deep blue, so as usual in this absurd electoral system, my vote has essentially no impact other than its meaningfulness to me.
AND I COULD USE ONE SUCH AS YOURSELF!
I am so sick of this biased media coverage. It's so racist and colonialist. Just sickening.
The MSM are but Renaissance courtiers without the colorful getups, and they know full well what "reporting" will get you awards, plum assignments and "off the record" talks with The Great And Good, and what sorts of reporting will get you assinged to cover allegations of corruption in bidding out latrines in Alaska or conversations about your next career.
The utter evil of it all. Caitlin puts into words in a way that most can’t or won’t. I’m glad that I have a conscience., and I am going to vote accordingly, I’m going to protest and keep protesting to destroy this evil!
Climate change is REAL. So, yes. Connect the dots... https://therevolutioncontinues.substack.com/p/connect-the-dots
You'd rather believe some Bond villain shit than believe that warmer oceans cause more violent storms?

And did you bother to follow the money? Who paid for those "peer reviews"? Take one look at the drastic increase in Carbon emissions! The highest ever in millions of years of data!
0. all you are doing is spouting oil company propaganda, spun by some of the biggest war criminals on the planet. you've been played, sucker.
You're a fool.

Oh Geez, the stories I could tell you. For about 10 years, early 90s, a chemist colleague and I did an integrated physical-biological science curriculum for college freshmen, and what it revealed about their underlying misconceptions was stunning. Then we tried to work with some HS science teachers, and the resistance to natural science integration (as though the fundamental principles shouldn't apply across them) was a further stunning indicator of why the standard US HS-educated American is in deep caca when it comes to genuine science ed.
HaHa - well said!
Reminds of how one week during the Vietnam war Life magazine published the photos of all 500 or so US military who were killed that week over there. Meanwhile probably twice that number of Vietnamese civilians were killed by US bombing and other means in about the same time period with no mention. They were just "gooks" disposed of in "Injun country." More things change more they stay same.
No mention in the press that I could see that these four Israeli "boys"were sergeants in the unit that committed some of the worst war crimes/atrocities in Gaza.
Don't feel sorry for them!
Even if they were mere toilet moppers, I wish only that the casulaty list were longer.
Some folks would wave their finger at you and bellow: " vengeance is mine saith the lord". But y'know, after a year of this shit, of these fucking zionist subhumans, I'd have to opine that your wish is justified.
The clip from Sky News that names them included their military rank. All were Sergeant Zionist Zioniski. (I'm not going to taint myself by typing their names and giving them any more publicity).
I can’t conceive of the US hegemon and its complicit vassal West to ever, ever, be forgiven for its criminal partnership with a Zionist terror state . Brothers and sisters of the godly faithful can never forget or let the world forget what is happening here, and pursue these criminals into war crimes tribunals , empowering the justice system to confront the lawfare methods of the West in opposing this retribution!!
That's a big part of the problem! The judicial system is TOTALLY CORRUPTED! The Joint Chief of Staff and his cronies are TOTALLY CORRUPT! If the military had done its' duty June 8th 1967 LBJ and every single enemy agent from the Terrorist State of Israel would have faced the firing squad! Now the entirety of the US government with few exceptions should be put to that firing squad as they are the enemy.
“This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
This is why our ruling class is NOT normal. They are psychopaths/sociopaths. This is why we need to lock them up immediately and get the ICJ/ICC to put them on trial for their war crimes.
We can't wait any longer. It's been over a year now and we're still allowing them to genocide the Palestinians. Who's next? It could be YOU and YOURS. Don't think our psychotic ruling class isn't planning many more such actions in the near future. It's time to organize and tear the system down.
The headline called the 23 Palestinians killed - burned alive and subjected to the explosive force and fragmentation of US made bombs - "People"... It's a Yom Kippur MIRACLE... Their humanity has been acknowledged, in death, in a way that no true Zionist would EVER have acknowledged it, in life... Of course it makes no reference to their ages... And half of Gaza are Children, or at least - were. So just going by averages, while the 4 Zionist ADULT soldiers, in the headline were called "teenagers" - the headline could have been that at least 12 Children and 11 adult Palestinians were massacred in a civilian shelter setting - by the Zionist Entity.

"Worthy victims" and "unworthy" victims. Chomsky is tricky, but his usage of these terms to describe different media treatment was spot on.
OMFG…. the bastards!
"Israel has not commented 'but' regularly accuses Hamas operatives of concealing themselves in school buildings - claims the group denies."
I’m so effing sick of this sentence. For gawd’s sake you cretins they’re all stuck in an open air prison…where do you want them to hide?
And in case you haven’t noticed, Israel has its troops walking among civilians everywhere and builds its buildings in people’s neighborhoods.
I just hope that if the world ever has another Nuremberg that a lot of media cretins will be in the dock.
Except International law doesn’t seem to apply to the US and Israel
Thank you, Sister Caitlin, for calling out and countering the mind-manipulation that seduces nice people into supporting slaughter far away.
"Nice" people? I think not...
Not a day goes by where I don’t wake up and wish to see Israel and/or the US (my country) get their shit shoved in. We would all love to see a scene play out where one or both of these bullies gets punched square in the face. After they stagger about or maybe even fall down, they get back up with their tail between their leg and repent. “I’m sorry I have learned my lesson” they would say.
But it doesn’t work like that. Nor will it happen like that. The entire Western Hegemonic system has been built on a house of cards. If they lose their aura of supremacy (economically or militarily) the house crumbles. And it will crumble exactly as you would expect a house made of cards to fall. This would create a global seismic shift in the world order perhaps greater than any world war in history. Disease, famine, starvation, and death as described by the book of revelations.
Please understand something, I am NOT trying to talk anyone out of feeling this way. Hell, I’m all in. I know that me, friends, family are going to all lose. But I also don’t believe we deserve to win anymore. Not for the sake of humanity at least.
We must force a fight NOW. Not overseas but here within our own framework of Western Civilization. This is what I have been trying to say.
I am fully with you in this respect. I have enough to survive for at the very least 5 years. Not in luxury by any means but to survive nonetheless. I am all in on destroying this government completely and let the whole thing collapse. They are actively destroying everything that was this country anyway and if that's what it takes to stop these evil creatures from harming another Palestinian baby or another human anywhere so be it. I will suffer whatever little amount that it compares to what the other people have had to suffer from this Zionist Nazi Terrorist HORDE!
You see clearly my friend. My intention was to warn others that when this thing goes down a beautiful peaceful flower will not readily emerge in its place. That will need to be earned the old fashioned way I assume. Lots of strife in the order of blood, sweat, and tears.
Just despicable. Great reporting
“Israel has named the four teenage victims of a Hezbollah drone strike on a military base — as at least 23 people were reportedly killed in an attack on a central Gaza school.”
4 teenage victims, eh? Probably Jewish dual-passported boys out for some fun, paid well and then shipped back home to the USA, Australia, UK, Germany, having fought bravely against unarmed opposition. They could easily have been part of the Israeli sniper brigade, represented in the media as being brave Israeli soldiers.
We all want to see punishment meted to Israel to show the arrogant genocidists that killing just for the sake of it is wrong. Throwing prisoners off the roof, using snipers to kill children, using drones to attract Palestinians out into the open so that they can be killed in this hundreds and bombing indiscriminately against countries that have no similar weaponry. Barbaric..
But the real pleasure one day will be to see the policy makers in the media face a pubic hearing in every country in the West. I want to be around for that one. So keep the clever but totally biased journalism for the trials to come, if this world ever recovers its decency and values.
Something akin to seeing the double dealing dished out by The Guardian, receiver and publisher of all Wilileaks material and profiting from the sales of such...until...the tide changes and this so-called responsible publication turned their back on Julian and in fact contributed to his arrest and vindictive treatment.
Someone made that decision then and in every publication, someone determines the policy. Then off go the journalist sheep with their fabrications or clever word manipulations to establish where the emphasis should be. The Western media emphasis is the same, day in and day out. Israel is the goodie and those multi millions of Hezbollah and Hamas, armed to the teeth are hiding in every school, in hundreds of tunnels, hiding caches of weapons, assaulting Israeli hostages who are being treated so badly but still alive. The same cannot be said for the Palestinians and Lebanese.
Sounds like the Western media? It is, straight from the front page.
Sky News belongs to Comcast the CEO of which is Jewish. Zionist? An analysis and survey of the heads of all major media as to their Israeli connection would be helpful in understanding the causes and motivations behind the sly difference appearing in verbiage and passive tense used to report events which fraudulently signal the innocuousness and victimization of the Israelis while obscuring the brutality of the Israelis and fraudulently suggesting a greater malevolence by Palestinians. Public knowledge of this is important if truth demands a balanced objective reportage - to rightly inform the American and Australian people.
The British Broadcasting Corporation, Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Radio New Zealand are each owned by their respective governments. And each of these media organisations’ coverage of Palestine and Lebanon is massively biased in similar ways to those highlighted by Caitlin in this essay. The pro-Israeli bias goes much deeper than just having Zionist CEOs and employees. There is an entrenched political agenda at play whose main purpose is to facilitate genocide. The United States is conducting a genocide, but these peripheral countries are aiding and abetting genocide.
Lol every single time 😉
