Way too many Western officials/politicians, a.k.a. enablers, are basically taking directions from pro-Israel/-IDF lobbyists. And then there's the clearly-compromised heavily-corporatized Western news-media:

Particularly with Israel’s systematic mass slaughter and starvation of Gazan non-combatants young and old, that news-media have been, to put it mildly, editorially emasculated. Though it may be due to orders from ownership headquarters and therefore beyond their control, our (Canada's) news-media are serious offenders.

The most notable example is The National Post. One would really have to read it to believe it, especially since the initial (10/7) Hamas attack against Israel. It epitomizes an extreme example of an echo chamber promoting unconditional 110% support for the Israeli state, including its very-long-practiced cruelty towards the Palestinian people.

For example, shortly after that Hamas attack, a single-column story about a five-year-old American-Palestinian boy who was stabbed to death by the landlord of the residence in which he and his mother lived simply for being Palestinian was placed on page 5, while placed up high on the front page was a large photo (which accompanied a much larger story) with three Israeli teenage girls crying after their friends or family were kidnapped by Hamas gunmen.

More progressive outlets in Canada — progressive in regard to basically following “woke” ideology: that of race, sexuality, gender and gender-bending — may be considered beholding a more deceptively pro-Israel stance, especially since 10/7, while attempting to appear objective.

More progressive outlets in Canada (e.g. The Toronto Star and The Globe and Mail daily papers) — progressive in regard to basically following “woke” ideology: that of race, sexuality, gender and gender-bending — may be considered more deceptive with their largely pro-Israel stance, especially since 10/7, while attempting to appear objective.

It’s the ethical/moral duty of Western journalists and editors to publicly expose the compromised news-media product and therefor its facilitator(s). By doing so, such brave journalists can at least then also proclaim they will no longer participate in its creation and/or dissemination.

Over decades, I’ve heard of too many cases of employees not standing up and doing what is necessary for the public and/or human(e) good, instead excusing themselves with something like: ‘I need this job — I have a family to support’. ... I have to say that — unless, of course, they were actually forced into coupling, copulating and procreating however many years before — such familial obligation status does not actually ethically or morally justify their willing involvement.

Quite frankly, journalists/editors with genuine integrity should and would tender their resignations and even publicly proclaim they can no longer help propagate their employer’s media product, whether it involves self-censored/missing coverage of a brutally lopsided foreign war or that of domestic corporate corruption that will harm the populace.

Completely agree with all this, especially the media publications pretending to be more progressive and take a middle ground but being equally deceptive. If everybody stood up and refused to support "Israel" then what could their bosses do?

Thanks for your thoughtful, erudite post !!! 👍👍👍 🔥🔥🔥

{...The establishment of an illegal settler colony on ever expanding stolen land that ethnically cleanses its inhabitants is a crime of staggering proportions, that requires a special level of “explanation”...}

Yesss !!!

... and the day, ALL Arab "leaders" will forcefully ask for it, will be one to remember !!!

Imagine, millions of Muslins in the ME and NA would be proactive like the Houtis from Yemen ...

Maybe, the oil- and gas revenue (with hitherto unseen comfort for the chieftains) is leading to their total failure and final annihilation ...

Pre-oil/gas personalities like Khalid ibn al-Walid, Ali ibn Abi Talib, Tariq ibn Ziyad or Saladin are characters definitively gone extinct ...

Thank you Klaus - yes it's really sad that Arab "leaders" bow to the Zionist entity and have absolutely no principles. The Yemeni Houthi's are the most noble and principled.

Imho, they bow to their suitcases full of money, special positions in commerce and politics and travels to some other kind of "incentives" I cannot mention in front of a very respectful and knowlegeable Lady !!! 🤣🤣🤣

SHAME ON THEM and ETERNAL FIRE UNDER THEIR FAT BUMS !!!

You're right in all you say - the Arab leaders are filthy swine - another part of the world - the wealthy Arab countries - I refuse to ever visit.

{...wealthy Arab countries...}

Having forgotten their traditions and humble way of living, they've become totally synthetic entities by trying to emulate "The Western Style".

It is NO coincidence that only Yemen is the shining exemption to the rule !!!

So true. It's sickening how readily they've been corrupted by their lottery win of finding oil in their back garden. No actual drive, principles or backbone, just lazy and greedy hence easily bribed. Yemen is a shining example of nobility.

Thank you, Zobia for another fact-filled precise article. Love your work.

Writing fact and not allowing oneself to be bullied into silence is what we can all do better and more often - there are many more of us than there are of the liars who try to beat us down.

When you have truth on your side, and are sure of your facts what they throw at us blows away like pipe-smoke. Laugh, because the name-calling is truly laughable.

If this could have been required reading in schools "Israel" would have been dismantled years ago and people would recognize and not support toxic leaders or individuals in their personal lives. This is the key to opening many profoundly important doors of understanding.

Thank you Jay. If only - but the defences against it are so entrenched. I think these people are a lost cause.

As far as I can see from the too-late and too-weak UEFA "STOP KILLING CHILDREN. STOP KILLING CIVILIANS" banners at a 'Super Cup' football match, even though they did not state who was doing this or where it was happening, it still triggered the Zionist "foaming rage and vitriol"!

Because the zionists get easily threatened and want to nip it in the bud before it gets to the stage people DO start naming them.

I agree with how you write "Israel", as this highlights one of the main hurdles so many well meaning but woefully ignorant and brainwashed people who identify as "Christians" remain willfully blind to the atrocities and barbarism of the Synagogue of Satan. It's a simple but brilliant strategy, exploiting a homonym: by calling a violent criminal enterprise "Israel", you thoroughly muddy the clouded minds of apathetic, self centered, comfort-addicted people. These professing "Christians" who staunchly "stand with 'Israel'" will be quick to quote the Bible in support of godless psychopaths (Zionists) but the message of the New Testament is completely lost on them, that 'the tree is known by it's fruit', and we are not called to war against flesh and blood, but against our own sinful nature and that our struggle is spiritual. For this same reason, I for one will never use the weapons of the enemies of life itself (lies, being violence of words, and physical violence) in fighting them, but fight and oppose with my very being I must, yet always through non violent means, whatever form that takes.

"Israel" is an invention of rabid violent imperial colonisers. It changes its borders constantly, so has no fixed nature - therefore it's a parasitic monster, a delusion. Agree "a tree is known by its fruit".

I am glad you write about this. The hasbara/pr propaganda machine of Israel is taught at universities like Columbia where a lecturer working for GHF lectures part time. Her goal: to control the narrative(see Jasper Nathaniel's exposure of her).

What astounds me is that young ppl have not put up a counter organisation to stop the flood of Israeli lies, have not confronted more of these ruthless minded ppl behind the scenes in the open. Get all of twitter to jump on them (see SA and Bell Pottinger saga).

Tomorrow, 20 August, a world wide strike was asked for by the Palestinians. Will ppl participate?

Very good point, especially in a time where every aspect of the language is manipulated. It is "Israeli's".
