This is very revealing. Bob Geldof tells the Sky anchor that Israel is lying, and the anchor almost falls off his chair. "They're lying, did you say???" He blurts out, almost in shock. Would there have been any shock if you had said that Russia is lying? Or Iran, or China? Would there have been a shock if he said that the United States is lying? Or France? I very much doubt it. There is an understanding that government's lie. Often. Except for Israel. Despite two years of almost non-stop Israeli lies - from beheaded babies, to Hamas headquarters under hospitals, to 'we'll stop the bombing if the hostages gets released,' to 'there is no famine,' to 'the UN is causing the famine' - the anchor expresses surprise that someone would accuses Israel of lying. This may sound innocent, but in reality appears to be designed to make it as difficult as possible to convince the public that Israel is untruthful, particularly when it is obvious that it is. The more doubt you can sow, the easier it is for Western governments to continue to support Israel's war crimes. This would be obvious to all if the anchor had expressed shock at someone questioning Russian or Chinese government lies.
