Leader Antony Blinken urges the western world to follow America's lead ... set Israel's war narrative. 🤥 🤥 🤥

Sec. Blinken Announces New Sanctions On Russia For Interfering In Foreign Elections | Forbes News |

US Sanctions on disinformation goes global as the State Department will bully allies for further censorship to control the dimension of the war narrative in both the president/dictator Zelenskyy of Ukraine and Gaza onslaught by the Jewish State of Israel.

Department Press Briefing - September 13, 2024 with Matt Miller

MR MILLER: Okay. For the run of show, we have a couple officials here: Jim O'Brien, who is the Assistant Secretary for Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs; and Jamie Rubin, the Director of the Global Engagement Center, who will take questions about the announcement the Secretary just made.

[...]

ASSISTANT SECRETARY O'BRIEN: Yeah, this is about the rest of the world. So last week was very focused on activities in the U.S. Here we're talking about covert activities attempting to subvert democracy and manipulate information environments in the rest of the world. And Jamie may have some examples of this, but I just want to call attention to one of the sentences the Secretary said. He's instructed diplomats globally to share information we have about what Russia is doing, and to engage with our partners in trying to remove this threat to democracy and accurate information around the globe.


Israel's Ruthless Propaganda Campaign to Dehumanize Palestinians | The Intercept - 9 Feb 2024 |

Two weeks before Hamas commandos led a series of raids into Israel on October 7, Benjamin Netanyahu stood before an empty chamber at the United Nations headquarters in New York City. The Israeli prime minister brandished a map of what he promised could be the "New Middle East"

It depicted a state of Israel that stretched continuously from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. On this map, Gaza and the West Bank were erased .... Palestinians did not exist

"What a historic change for my country! You see, the land of Israel is situated on the crossroads between Africa, Asia, and Europe," Netanyahu bellowed at a handful of spectators in the large hall, nearly all of whom were his loyalists or underlings.

"For centuries, my country was repeatedly invaded by empires passing through it in their campaigns of plunder and conquest elsewhere. But today, as we tear down walls of enmity, Israel can become a bridge of peace and prosperity between these continents."

Opinion | Israel's Tabloid Propagandists Faithfully Echo Netanyahu's Talking Points

What have we come to? We've reached the point where in the middle of a long, cruel war, someone is busy operating "influence campaigns" directed at Israeli citizens, through the use of what is presented and sold as documents, ones that are forged, distorted and taken out of context

Counterproductive ... drowns out the Hasbara propagandists

Opinion | Israelis Must Ask Themselves if They're Willing to Live in a Country That Lives on Blood | Haaretz by Gideon Levy - 15 Sep 2024 |

Israel is turning, with alarming speed, into a country that lives on blood. The daily crimes of the occupation are already less relevant. Over the past year, a new reality of mass killing and crimes of an entirely different scale has emerged.

We are in a genocidal reality; the blood of tens of thousands of people has flowed.

Adam Johnson of Citations Needed -- a must-listen media-crit podcast -- joins to break down the latest hasbara coming out of mainstream outlets. He starts by breaking down a quantitative analysis of language used to describe Israeli vs Palestinian death he co-wrote in The Intercept, before moving on to discuss the "buffer zone," the recent on-air murder of a Palestinian civilian waving a white flag, the upcoming ICJ genocide case results, the narratives used by the Biden administration to manage public opinion, and more.

What were the Oslo Accords between Israel and the Palestinians? | Al Jazeera - 13 Sept 2024 |

Three decades after the Oslo Accords were signed, the promised peace process has not come about.

Thirty years ago, Israeli and Palestinian leaders met on the lawn of the White House in Washington to sign a deal many believed could be a precursor for peace in the region.

A handshake was to follow between them - a significant gesture and the deal would lead them to both receive the Nobel Peace Prize, along with then-Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, the following year. [Does Nobel honor terrorists 🤬]

All three men are now dead, Rabin in circumstances directly related to the Accords. The peace process that the deal was supposed to begin has been stillborn, with Israel continuing its illegal occupation of Palestinian territory, and the Palestinian people no closer to - and some would argue further away from - an independent state.

Great choice for Israeli leaders ... vision of apartheid and oppression for goal of  Eretz Yisrael ... erasing Palestine. Provocation of its neighbours instead of fighting for a peace deal. The erasure ❌ of Palestine 🇵🇸 is not an offer of peaceful ☮️ coexistence.

Swapping Saddam's 42 Scud missile strikes for today's retaliation by Lebanese resistance Hezbollah, Syria, Iraq and Iran. Jordan, Egypt and NATO member Türkiye are devastated by Israel's genocidal war on Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

NEVER AGAIN has a hollow sound for all leaders who should take measures against perpetrators. International law and the UN Charter have been considered obsolete by Washington, London and Brussels.
