When Israel did their first ethnic cleansing in 1948, our media lied to us and said the Palestinians attacked the Israelis. In 1967, when Israel attacked all its neighbors and took their land, our press lied again and pretended Israel was the victim.
As Israel brutally occupied the Palestinians and robbed them of their freedom and dignity for nearly six decades, our media called the Palestinians terrorists and pretended the Israelis were the good guys.
So, why did they do that? Who do they actually work for? And what are we going to do now that we know all of our national media are lying on behalf of the powerful and smearing the powerless?
🔴 Less than a week after Israel burned several preteen children to death in their tents, four more residential apartments were set ablaze overnight, with Israel’s military burning entire families to death as they slept.
The strikes hit homes in Al-Shati refugee camp, the Karama neighborhood, Tel al-Hawa, and Sheikh Radwan in Gaza City.
🚨 New study shows the New York Times, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, CNN, Politico, USA Today and Axios collectively used the term "savage" 16 times for the killing of Israelis, but never for the killing of Palestinians.
Likewise, "slaughter" appeared 120 times in relation to the killing of Israelis, but only once for Palestinians.
"Massacre" was used 344 times in relation to Palestinians killing Israelis, but never for Israelis killing Palestinians.
"Barbaric" was used 14 times to describe the killing of Israelis, but zero times in relation to the deaths of Palestinians.
The cable coverage displayed a similar pattern.
MSNBC, presenters and guests used
"massacre" 177 times, "barbaric" 46 times, "savage" 23 times and "slaughter" 102 times in relation to Israeli deaths.
They never called the killing of Palestinians "barbaric" or "savage". In relation to Palestinians, they only used “massacre" eight times and "slaughter" four times.
References to "savagery" and "barbarism" echo the logic of settler colonialism, identifying the uncivilised natives as a problem to be solved.

As a British citizen, you can join a foreign terrorist organization (the IDF), murder thousands of children & carry out 2 genocides & be welcomed back in the UK.
But if you say "Zionist bitch" you will be investigated for carrying out an antisemitic crime.
Israel currently occupies and controls 20% of Lebanon—the same proportion that Russia occupies and controls of Ukraine.
The World condemned Russia, but cannot condemn Israel!
Hypocrisy.
The Mossad’s official English name was apparently “Israeli Secret Intelligence Service.”
Initials: ISIS.
Sometimes history does not need satire.
It just needs the letterhead.
@LadyFear1@PaliNewsNetwork Those laws don’t apply to Jews. But you can bet if it was a Muslim it’d be on the news and that person would be in jail by now.
@bigrodtend@PaliNewsNetwork Because he’s Jewish. If a Muslim man sat there an threatened to rape anyone in front of a cop a Jew would sign the complaint and accuse them of being animals.
“You’re an antisemite.”
No, I’m actually anti-satanic.
You don’t get to bomb hospitals, commit a genocide and traffic children to blackmail politicians and then play the victim.
Recent retiree Greg Bovino traveled to Portugal to attend a Nazi conference, gave an interview citing Nazi general Erwin Rommel as an inspirational figure, and wore his regulation SS haircut.
When is it ok to start calling them Nazis? Or is that still too polarizing?
