If you intend to pursue policies that the public opposes, then you must silence the public.
As online, the intent is to skew the discussion to push people into defensive, reactive stances and bend their perception to create reality.
Like shadow banning, it is not about “traffic calming” or limiting hate. Twitter’s algorithm keeps users in an echo chamber and feeds you more of the same.
In this current genocide in Gaza, if you show solidarity with the Palestinians, you will be shown very little from an Israeli perspective; and vice versa.
Israelis will be shown overwhelmingly pictures of gore from Oct 7. They will not hear that the Israel Defense Forces were responsible for most of the deaths. But nor will their shock and suffering reach Palestine solidarity ears.
The result is blood lust and zealotry.
As Karl Rove said, “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality.”
Like the war in Ukraine that president Volodymyr Zenenskiy is forever about to win — but only online — the priority is to justify politicians’ decisions and military spending, part of whose profits end up funding election campaigns.
We saw a version of this manipulation last weekend in Britain.
The Home Secretary, or interior minister, of Britain, Suella Braverman, brazenly encouraged ethno-nationalists and thugs to protect the nation’s principal war memorial — after she repeatedly called pro-Palestinian protests “hate marches” and accused the Metropolitan Police, ludicrously, of protecting pro-Palestinian favourites.
The government could easily have restricted access to war memorials but it WANTED a clash between “football thugs” and a million or so marchers in solidarity with Palestine. Thankfully the latter did not oblige.
Western governments are isolated from their people. Seventy per cent of U.S. citizens want a ceasefire in Gaza.
Braverman tried to provoke a clash so that marchers would be portrayed as Hamas extremists, and thus bolster the government’s unpopular pro-Zionist position. In Britain a top politician “of colour” encourages skinheads to confront brown people. You can’t make it up.
It takes a member of a minority to whip up hostility to the Palestinian minority before we can see it for what it is: an age old strategy of divide and rule.
In the event Braverman was sacked as Home Secretary — for the second time!
There is a sub plot to the Braverman story which makes you wonder if this team is answering to the same imperial masters that constitute the City of London and MI6.
Her replacement is former PM David Cameron who is no longer an MP: “Unelected bloke appointed by unelected bloke,” comments Right Said Fred.
This is not by mistake. This is the formal dismantling of representative democracy and its replacement by a system based on caste and entitlement — cohorts who are declared privileged and beyond criticism, and who thus form an elite.
The same people who push Woke, pretend to confront it. Prime minister Rishi Sunak hired a rabble rousing TV presenter Esther Louise McVey as “anti-Woke” czar.
Thin line
TPTB have crossed a red line. People are catching on that this is not about the Palestinians alone. After them, all are next.
Covid was an attack, the wielding of terror by the State against the people. For even if you still believe the pandemic was organic, the Covid response was not: it was a dramatic rolling back of personal liberties that had nothing to do with health.
Likewise in Gaza it is clear that this is about land and resources. The people are simply in the way. The powers that gave Netanyahu the go-ahead stand levels and levels above him. Benjamin is a gopher.
The coordination of the Covid response showed that politicians take orders and march, when instructed, in lock step.
In New York, governor Kathy Hochul is “collecting data from surveillance efforts” on social media.
Cartoon world
This can also be seen in the response of politicians and media over Israel and Gaza, for it is the same rapid response, with the same order to comply. Politicians who do not, are sacked.
A comedic example comes from the satirist Goub, who mocked the inability of politicians to mouth the word “ceasefire.” They are forbidden to do so, even as Palestinians civilians are bombed — more than 11,000 so far, with thousands more missing. Watch til the end — you'll see Trudeau tongue tied and twisted.
Truth to power
Ten French ambassadors to Muslim countries openly rebelled against president Emmanuel Macron’s “pro-Israeli turn” by collectively writing and signing a note of protest.
This is the righteous duty of diplomats who know the countries to which they are posted and challenge the politicians back home.
France still has independent-minded diplomats, unlike the controlled MI6 provocateurs that pass for British diplomats; and U.S. corporate leeches who buy their way into prominence. The author speaks from experience — his father faced the same dilemma.
In the academic institutions, Harvard’s faculty have challenged its president Claudine Gay for her “patronizing criticism” of those who express solidarity with Palestine. She is motivated, of course, by the billionaire donors who are withdrawing their endowments.
Zionist billionaires are teaming up for pro-Israel, anti-Hamas drive in the media — which it is anti-Semitic to suggest they control.
The campaign is seeking million-dollar donations from dozens of the world’s biggest names in media, finance and tech, Semafor reported.
In the legislature, Congress voted to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the only Palestinian-American lawmaker.
A week ago Congress used the excuse that she had quoted the slogan, “From the river to the sea.”
Never mind that it is in the charter of Likud, the party led by Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “Between the Sea and the Jordan there only will be Israeli sovereignty.”
Journalist Katie Halper pointed out that Tlaib is in in good company. Joshua Reed Giddings. a Representative, lawyer and prominent opponent of slavery, was censured in 1842 for introducing an anti-slavery resolution in violation of the gag rule prohibiting discussion of slavery.
It is really an example of what cowards politicians have become. It is another sign of the ominous goosestep towards group think.
Common sense would tell you that, however much you might disagree with Tlaib, and even if she was a rabid opponent of Israel (she says she is not), that having a voice for Palestine might be a sign of a healthy, representative legislature, if not essential.
She might inform policy, though she could hardly sway it. She is only one person out of 435. But, no! We must think as one.
This is not just the Israel lobby and AIPAC flexing its muscles, for we witnessed the same craven submissiveness during Covid.
It is damaging to what is left of representative government. The gulf between the people and politicians is a yawning chasm.
Extinction rebellion
In the Fourth Estate, journalists are are coming close to extinction in Gaza; being killed in unprecedented numbers. Israeli commentators confirm that the IDF is targeting them.
Recent examples: Palestinian journalists Majed Kishko and Imad Wahidi, two correspondents for the Palestine TV, were confirmed killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza last week.
Mohammad Abu Hattab had been reporting live on-air Thursday night outside of Nasser hospital in Gaza; thirty minutes later he eturned home and was bombed with 11 members of his family.
Al Jazeera bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh walked south towards Rafah after he was warned he was not safe. A week ago his family was martyred, as Muslims say. Channel 13 journalist Zvi Yehezkeli suggested Israel deliberately targeted and murdered Dahdouh’s family.
The reporter helped analyse the al-Ahli hospital bombing. His wife, son, daughter and other relatives were hit in a refuge centre, having earlier been bombed out of their home.
They were killed shortly after U.S. Sec of State Anthony Blinken asked the government of Qatar force Al Jazeera to lower the “rhetoric.”
The U.S. is now going to strong arm European countries if they are not sufficiently anti Palestinian and pro Zionist.
Robespierre’s ghost
Terror is, and always has been, primarily a tool of the State.
It is said that governments rule by the same methods by which they take power. That was true of the French and Bolshevik revolutions, and it is the case with Israel. It was founded by terrorists, and the State reaches for terror when ever it desires to impose its will.
It is a country that terrorised its own politicians, assassinating prime ministers — but again, Israel is not unique in that.
Ironically, Benjamin Netanyahu may be the best opportunity to change this. He is hated within Israel as much as abroad. He may yet be the pendulum that brings Israelis back to moderation.
Israel may win the physical war, if only because the U.S. and Britain are lending a hand. Palestinians will win the moral war. Kidnapped Israeli settlers who have been released spoke highly of their captors.
Yet the State of Israel feels empowered or compelled to behave in a Medieval manner. It has a long history of shooting children in the genitals and knees. IDF members wear the infamous “two for one” logo — revealing their desire to shoot pregnant women. Their behaviour in Gaza should be no surprise. And yet it is.
The West is not better than Israel, as the behaviour of empires confirms. But we had thought to have left that behind. Israel is a reminder of the brutality of the imperial project which constitutes Zionism.
Humanity is the only side in this conflict. Israelis who root for Zionism fail to see that their country is an artificial construct of empire, like every other country in the region. Pinning you colours to the mast of empire in the 21st century is reactionary.
The ultimate irony (it's not an irony or even a paradox) is that Israel clings to the defence of national borders and an ethno-nationalist state while the champions of Israel are busy demolishing the same throughout the West.
Yarn unwinds
The narrative serves to justify policy, thus it must be defended by any means necessary.
Yet the people see a widening gap between their lived experience — what they see and what they’re told.
The propaganda of Oct 7 has fallen apart. Israeli Defense Forces have a new revelation each day.
A Hamas tunnel... curiously with a brand new, dust free electrical panel and cables... that look suspiciously like a lift shaft. An electrical engineer comments on Twitter.
In another IDF revelation a terrorist supposedly wrote his name or intentions on a calendar in a settler's home.
That’s after the weekend reveal that a Hamas militant had time to read his pristine Arabic copy of Mein Kampf. Two weeks ago the book was a Hamas chemical weapons manual, with a cover lifted from Amazon.
A “Gaza doctor” who discouraged people from going to hospital turns out to be an Israel TV actress and digital content creator Hannah Abutbul.
The casualties have fallen from 1,500 to 1,400 and now stand at 1,200, two thirds of whom are military and security personnel.
CNN are struggling to maintain the Israeli narrative. BBC reporters are crying the in bathrooms.
Former British MP George Galloway sums up the Oct 7 propaganda in two minutes.
You can be sure a blockbuster film is on the way, since Hollywood scriptwriters have just settled their strike. A movie will be made about a hostage who left behind his love behind. It will be propaganda just like the film, Fauci and “Let’s Roll.” They will turn Oct 7 into a new Nine Eleven, with touches of the Shoah.
This narrative treatement will not help anyone. Not Jews or Palestinians, not democracy, not peace, nor anyone.
Just stop the killing. The killers always have a story, and reasons, and history. The story and reasons and history can easily be made up from thin air. The dead cannot.
Talk is not cheap anymore because politicians have paid enormous sums to have experts tailor and shape their bullshit.
Just follow the facts. And the facts are the number of dead. They are killed first. You are next.
You say: "The casualties have fallen from 1,500 to 1,400 and now stand at 1,200, two thirds of whom are military and security personnel." In Israel, many of the people have served in the military and some remain in the reserves. Kibutzes seem to have a group that handles security - e.g., Kibutz Nir Am - where young woman (Liebermann) noticed a problem, rallied her group at the kibutz and distributed guns, so they defended themselves.
Your writing seems somewhat slanted lately. Jews were indigenous to Israel and Jerusalem for 3,000 years. Not just British imperialism, against which you fight.
