Last night an Israeli missile hit the al-Ahli al-Arabi Baptist hospital in Gaza City killing hundreds – most women and children, part of a pattern of Israeli massacres that have killed thousands in schools, refugee camps, civilian transports and residential tower blocks.
Israel also bombed the Rafah border crossing last night to prevent aid trucks entering from Egypt – with the express intention of depriving over 2 million people of water, food, and medicine. A prelude to a new holocaust.
Only Israel had the means, motive and opportunity to commit these attacks.
The attack is inconveniently illuminating the blank cheque publicly given to Israel by the west to commit genocide in Gaza. As Israel is now cashing that cheque, how can the west avoid public complicity?
The answer is to amplify Israeli disinformation. Israel has tried to shift the blame for the attacks last night on to Hamas, but as every independent journalist knows – this is pure gaslighting – another dodgy dossier, just like the one that licenced the Iraq War.
Every western media portal and politician is hiding behind Israeli disinformation so as to wash blood off their hands and make sure that Israel’s blank cheque doesn’t bounce.
This is the western moral landscape that lies behind the atrocities of last night, today and tomorrow in Gaza.
The U.S. has given Israel the military means and express permission to construct an apartheid state via illegal invasions, occupations, ethnic cleansing and genocide. This being a long standing policy of successive U.S. administrations.
Politicians in the U.S. and their vassal states know that opposing Israel is career suicide but supporting them well rewarded. Blanket support for Israel is mandatory for mainstream politicians and those that resist (like Jeremy Corbyn) are destroyed.
Similarly – anyone working in western news factories knows that they must hide and manufacture consent for western sins, when these sins involve massacred women and children they have to get busily creative. To oppose Israel is to end your media career.
Your job as an imbiber of western media narratives is to allow yourself to be gently soothed and lied to about atrocities carried out in your name – if you attempt to discover and bear witness to the truth you too will be attacked.
The massacre at the al-Ahli al-Arabi Baptist hospital sent up a rare flare of illumination over the entire western political and media landscape. If you are feeling discomforted by this and would rather run back into the comfort of ignorance then fear not – because almost every western politician and media portal will rush to deny the dead the dignity of their lives even counting for something – the truth hastily obscured by every available means.
Those responsible for the massacres in Gaza will never be held to account because to do so would implicate an entire class of powerful co-conspirators in the western media and political establishment and would undermine the overarching moral fantasies that the west peddles about itself.
Let us speak the truth – the blood of the dead of the al-Ahli al-Arabi Baptist hospital drips from the hands of Israel and western enablers of Israeli genocide in Gaza. Those washed in blood include Joe Biden, Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer, The Guardian, the BBC, the European Union and anyone who repeats their lies.
It has never been so clear. Any idea that ‘we’ in the west are the ‘good’ guys, defenders of democracy, upholders of international law and keepers of journalistic integrity is dead. Dead and buried in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Libya, Ukraine, Palestine and countless other places.
The western empire (like all empires) is merely a gathering of power, unrestrained by morality and enabled by those happy to artfully airbrush the misery and death that we visit upon others as ‘humanitarian interventions’ and ‘anti-terrorism operations’.
The west will let the refugee populations that our wars create drown in the sea and die in biblical numbers in Gaza. Those that allow the western media to shield this simple truth are either directly complicit, fools or apologists for evil.
I stand in solidarity with all those who not only embrace such uncomfortable truths but fight against impossible odds to keep the truth itself alive.
Let me say also to those people who supress our posts, abuse and threaten us – you will not win. You will not silence us because we know evil when we see it…
