I think you give stenographer Tognini, and her cohorts in the Australian media, too much credit.
Israeli propagandists have been proven liars for some time now. They lied about the deliberate killing of Palestinian/American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.
They lied about the 40 beheaded babies, a baby baked in an oven, a foetus cut from the womb of a pregnant woman, dead babies pegged on a clothesline.
They had nothing to say about the deliberate attacking of the well known, clearly marked MSF safe house by an Israeli tank. The tank shell killed 2 people outright and started a fire in the kitchen, 6 people were trapped in the house by a field of fire laid down by the IDF resulting in severe burns. Israel lied about the flour massacre.
The IDF deliberately stalked and shot at the three marked cars, travelling on a designated route, through a safe zone, at a time known to the IDF, containing 7 members of the World Central Kitchen staff. The 3 separate attacks on these 3 vehicles occurred over a significant distance. The IDF claimed it was an accident. It was never AN accident. If it was accidental, it was three consecutive accidents. Hardly believable.
An IDF aircraft dropped a 2000lb bomb into the Jabaliya refugee camp killing over 100 civilians, and claimed it was an accident.
The IDF has stalked and killed over 120 journalists, along with some of their families in Gaza since October 7th and little is said in the western press about that.
Al Jazeera reported on the exhumation of 394 bodies from mass graves around Nasser hospital following the IDF exiting the area after the total destruction of the hospital. Little to nothing of those atrocities are reported in the western press.
Whatever the Israeli's say appears to be taken as gospel, no matter the history.
Stenography is certainly cheaper and easier than investigative reporting and analysis. It's a shame about the damage done to democracy by this mendacity.
george, please write an article about netanyahu's support for HAMAS, beginning in the 1980s, and how it is now verifiable that he and his zioisraeli thugs were well aware of what would unfold on 10/7, well in advance, let HAMAS carry their breakout anyway, and were likely involved in the planning of it either directly or indirectly.
In the wake of Arab Spring uprising many Middle East government shut down internet to prevent people "know and talk"", revolution happened anyway, because people talk in person.
Put this in today perspective , doesn't matter what Israel put in mainstream media, people talk in person and share their views far from data mining on social media :) Good work legend !!
Hi George - 1st off I'll admit to being an American Idiot - song by Green Day "one nation under control by the media....." Anyway recently I was sent a sobering reminder - 1998, 4th edition, 598 page, book, by Michael Collins Piper " Final Judgment". When this was introduced, possibly by Democracy Now, back in the day, I had 2 toddlers & a business to run. May we revisit Piper's book & reveal some teurhs, blast from the past? Piper provides documents JFK was opposed to Israel nuclear arms programs. Was Israel privy to the assassination? Ryan Dawson anti neocon has provided proof, beyond defense, that Israel was certainly privy (engaged) in 9/11. Dawson's documentary "The Empire Unmasked" . I rather think, in my old age, we've an opportunity to expose Israel, AIPAC & their allegiance to our flag. Woodstock generation Granny Chicago
I also wonder about the claim of so many “civilians” being captured by Hamas. Isn’t there an Israeli conscription law for all Jews except ultra orthodox Jews? Isn’t it mandated that they serve several years in the IDF? So isn’t the majority of the Jewish population veterans? Don’t they almost all have some formal IDF military training and experience? Things like weapons instruction, drill and ceremony, taking command of a scene, battlefield medic training, and all the other things you would expect of a well-trained soldier. Isn’t it journalistic malpractice to refer to all of these Jewish veterans/adults as civilians?
Does it ever occur to these Journalists that they are at the forefront of a war. IF they choose not to tell the truth or refuse to check things out, they are complicit in genocide.
I suspect it might be difficult for Western journalists to bring their critical faculties to bear on the copy that comes across their desks given the pressures that are almost certainly being exerted on them from above - CNN is apparently receiving instructions direct from Jerusalem, NYT sent that memo around telling journalists what they could and couldn't say about the issue plus there was the expose of the handling of the issue by the CBC (Canada's public broadcaster) - written by a woman who was a producer there for 5 years but just couldn't take it any more - I'll leave the link here if you haven't already seen it - https://breachmedia.ca/cbc-whitewashed-israels-crimes-gaza-firsthand/
Little to add to this excellent post and the informed comments of readers. I would just like to say that I cannot bring myself to absolve the vast majority of the Israeli population who have been, brainwashed from a very young age and are perfectly aware of the abuses of which they are, co-responsible, committed for decades against indigenous peoples.
These people, I am talking here, about the usurpers, suffer from a serious cognitive dissonance and a deadly collective sociopathy leading to a distortion of facts, and a total blindness as to the consequences of their mental dysfunction.
They will end up (since October 7, hundreds of thousands of wise citizens have fled the sinking ship that became the Zionist entity) realizing that, never, their dystopian dream will come true and that, never, they will be at peace. This is, unfortunately, a long and painful realization for the Palestinian people. But the process is ongoing, and it’s irreversible, and this evil society is doomed to self-destruction—
perhaps you can edify some of us who have read your supernal comment, hachemi hadjoudj, regarding these vexatious issues: WHO ARE THESE DEMONIC PEOPLE? and how/why have they managed to remain so determined, throughout the tenebrous fog of their history, to gain, maintain, and retain their power over nations far more populous than theirs, more diverse, more technologically advanced, and more sophisticated? why have they managed to so successfully dupe even those of us who have the capacity to be equally duplicitous? this exiguous minority of people, the zionists, have gained seigneury over the international banking system, the MSM, global spy agencies, hollywood, 'bollywood', the federal reserve, bully-dog generals, congress, the white house, the judiciary, the UK parliament, the canadian parliament, the aussie parliament... how-the-'fuchin' did they DO it? their attitude of disregard, loathing, and subreptive abjuration of others is boundless. they seem an amorphous blob of protoplasm my fugue-plagued cortex is challenged to identify.
It would be dishonest not to recognize the genius of this «people» Khazar at the origin, who understood very early that a reconversion was necessary , and that, the domination and subjugation of the world could be obtained otherwise than by the exploits of hordes of warriors, They thus spread far from their original Caucasus and patiently woven a canvas whose reins spread to the entire planet. They have gradually gained pernicious control over governments and major international institutions. Their undeniable success is due to their gregarious, tribal, Talmudic-inspired behavior, strong racist and supremacist hints, supported, after the tragedies of the Second World War, by a vast movement of «compassion» and a sense of guilt of the Western world towards the martyred Jewish community, and the establishment of an unnatural colonial entity in the Middle East.
At the same time, since 1945, this movement towards the East (drang nach osten) dear to Hitler from an aggressive organization qualified (without an ounce of humor) by Jens Stoltenberg, «purely defensive»! I named NATO, which has since focused its efforts on «the Global East», with some excesses and arabesques against the background of «terrorism» and other fabrications.
We seem to be at a crossroads. The tortuous paths taken by the empire, could only lead us to the impasse and the risks of a general conflagration. In parallel, with hope and gratitude, we witness the awakening of the world’s populations to the sad reality of a deleterious future concocted by malicious elites.
it is to be hoped that the masses will soon become aware of their power and that they will cease to bring to power psychopaths and potential mass murderers…
The eager willingness of western media to uncritically accept and promote these fake atrocity stories shows a deep seated and unacknowledged racism in our culture towards Arabs and Palestinians in particular. That’s why I have given up on mainstream media here in Canada - CBC, Globe and Mail etc - and now visit independent media sites such as Electronic Intifada, Grayzone and Useful Idiots. The only mainstream source I go to now is Al Jazeera.
No because they put their careers and financial security ahead of humanity, life and decency
Correct.
That's a good read thanks George.
I think you give stenographer Tognini, and her cohorts in the Australian media, too much credit.

thank you Ted. Greatly appreciate your kind words and thoughts. G
I am not sure you have ever had a Democracy.
Isn't it suppose to be "a Republic" ?
george, please write an article about netanyahu's support for HAMAS, beginning in the 1980s, and how it is now verifiable that he and his zioisraeli thugs were well aware of what would unfold on 10/7, well in advance, let HAMAS carry their breakout anyway, and were likely involved in the planning of it either directly or indirectly.
Consider it done Jeanie
Good. I would like to see this too.
why would they? to do so would serve against their benefit
Thanks a lot for this wonderfully well penned piece
anyone with a cell phone can be a journalist. that is why jews can no longer do what they do
In the wake of Arab Spring uprising many Middle East government shut down internet to prevent people "know and talk"", revolution happened anyway, because people talk in person.

thank you legend. abd once again brother you are spot on with your analysis.

Well Kathleen nothing would be surprising and I suspect you’re more right than you are wrong.
Hi Any info on the BDS movement urgent call for action #blocktheboat ?
I also wonder about the claim of so many “civilians” being captured by Hamas. Isn’t there an Israeli conscription law for all Jews except ultra orthodox Jews?

Most of the people released by Hamas say they were treated well.
The Isreal leadership claimed the folks were suffering from Stockholm Syndrome.
In truth most of these people captured were settlers, stealing Palestinian land and peoples homes.
They deserve nothing but contempt
I did mean to mention this. Thank you for doing so.
thank you Darkstar for your kind words and support. I'm glad you're enjoying my work!! Please keep well
Hi Nova - what a great assessment Your perceptions are fascination in how you attempt to dissect the sickness of Israeli society.
I couldn’t agree with you more Ted.
Does it ever occur to these Journalists that they are at the forefront of a war. IF they choose not to tell the truth or refuse to check things out, they are complicit in genocide.
Is there any empathy amongst these people?

It is actually 'fear.' They do not want to be unmasked as traitors to their country!
