How mainstream media and "Western" institutions manufacture consent for genocide

@ahelamine
When Israel bombs a civilian hospital and massacres tens of civilians it’s an underground Hezbollah- or Hamas-run military base. When an actual Israeli military base is bombed the headline makes no mention of it having been a military base.

Complicit.

@nywarcrimes
The @nytimes continues to deploy the racist "stronghold" trope to paint all of south Beirut as a legitimate target for Israeli airstrikes. You'll never hear Tel Aviv referred to this way, despite it hosting an IOF base.

The New York War Crimes

@nywarcrimes
By design, the word "stronghold" indicates that civilians in Beirut are legitimate targets. The @nytimes is regurgitating Israeli propaganda, again, to justify its latest massacres.

Collective punishment and starvation are war crimes not a “plan for war.”

Two weeks ago Biden said he wouldn't deploy additional troops to the Middle East. Today he is deploying troops to Israel.

Remarkable how comfortable Biden is with 1) lying, and 2) sending US troops to die on Israel's behalf

Incredible. The AP describing Israel’s plan to exterminate 300,000 people through starvation as an attempt to “starve out Hamas” which only incidentally will starve everyone else.

Demented.

A whole news report on the Binyamina attack and *not* one mention that it was a military base and the 67 injured are all IDF soldiers.

Making it seem as though Hezbollah attacked civilians is transparently an attempt to continue justifying the US-Israeli war in Lebanon.

Sky News

The number of people wounded in this evening's drone attack on Binyamina has risen to 67, according to Israeli media.

This is, by every definition, a genocide - this is extermination. But AP is presenting the stated “reason” given by Netanyahu in a matter of fact way, thus justifying the extermination. 400k Palestinians will just simply be “trapped”. They are…

This was written in August 2023.

The Guardian is rightfully accusing Russia of blocking ports, weaponizing food as a form of warfare and causing forced starvation.

The Media recognizes these crimes and when it benefits them, condemns them. They'll never do that for Palestine.

Anyone who thinks this passive language is accidental is dumb.

Anyone who thinks Western media is unbiased is super dumb.
