Imagine If Russia Or China Did The Things Israel Is Doing In Gaza by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
It is almost cliche at this point to say "imagine if Russia or China did this", but such comparisons are important for retaining a sense of perspective on just how evil the western political-media class is being about Gaza right now.
Imagine how the western political-media class would be acting if Russia or China was bombing and starving a walled-in population of two million, half of them children. Seriously, imagine it. Imagine the rage and vitriol. Imagine the nonstop media coverage.
When Russia invaded Ukraine, United States media coverage of that war exceeded the media coverage of all United States wars in the previous three decades. If Russia were deliberately and systematically exterminating civilians in Ukraine or anywhere else, the western media coverage of those war crimes would be many times more.
It is almost cliche at this point to say "imagine if Russia or China did this", but such comparisons are important for retaining a sense of perspective on just how evil the western political-media class is being about Gaza right now.
We are seeing articles come out in the mass media about starvation in Gaza which never once even mention the word "Israel". Do you think that would be happening if this were being perpetrated by a government which defies the western empire? Of course not.
An entire Economist article on famine in Gaza does not say the word "Israel" once. Not even when describing damage to farmland and water facilities or severely restricted aid deliveries.
Saying "who" is destroying the farmland and restricting aid seems like basic info to include. "please see here:"-Assal Rad (AssalRad) March 27, 2024
Imagine how the western political-media class would be acting if Russia or China was deliberately blockading food from an imprisoned population of millions of people.
Imagine how the western political-media class would be acting if Russia or China was relentlessly raining military explosives on densely packed urban areas known to be full of children.
Imagine how the western political-media class would be acting if Russia or China was deliberately and methodically ethnically cleansing an oppressed population for entirely racist reasons.
Imagine how the western political-media class would be acting if evidence that Russia or China are committing horrific war crimes was surfacing on a daily basis.
Imagine how the western political-media class would be acting if Russia or China were getting caught in lie after lie after lie while carrying out such a mass atrocity.
Imagine how the western political-media class would be acting if Russia or China tried to present them with blatantly fabricated evidence of crimes committed by the targeted population in justification of their atrocities.
We would be living in a different political and media landscape. If Russia or China was doing what Israel is doing, entire presidential campaigns would have been built around who would oppose it most aggressively.
Every sanction and embargo in the book would have been slammed upon the perpetrating government. The western press would be falling all over themselves to expose every atrocity and every lie and blaring those expositions as feature stories on every platform for months, and showering one another with awards for doing so.
StateSpox was asked about United Nations Special Rapporteur FranceskAlbss report on Gaza which said there is reasonable ground that the threshold for genocide has been met.
Miller said they oppose mandate of this rapporteur, accused her of antisemitism and rejected allegations of genocide. "please see here:"-Assal Rad (AssalRad) March 27, 2024
Instead we get this. Government officials babbling nonstop about Israels "right" to "defend itself" and how this would all be over if Hamas did not keep fighting, while showering Israel with weapons to help it continue its atrocities.
The mass media churning out a constant deluge of passive-language "Gazans are having trouble finding food for some reason" headlines and continuous reminders that this is all happening because of October 7, while repeating Israeli atrocity propaganda like it is gospel truth.
All viable United States presidential candidates vowing their unconditional support for Israel while occasionally impotently finger-wagging at this or that aspect of Israels atrocities to avoid looking like complete psychopaths.
That contrast between how the western political-media class is acting toward the Gaza genocide and how we all know they would be acting if an unaligned government was doing something similar is exactly why the United States-centralized empire cannot be permitted to rule our world anymore.
It pretends to stand for peace, justice, freedom and democracy, but in reality it just inflicts nonstop death and suffering upon human beings around the world and covers it up with propaganda spin from its servile mainstream press.
It purports to uphold the "rules-based international order", but all that means in practice is that it upholds an international order in which the United States empire makes up the rules as it goes along and changes them as it pleases.
Humanity cannot allow itself to be abused and tyrannized by this murderous, hypocritical globe-spanning power structure any longer. A better world is possible, but we are going to have to find a way to pry the talons of these monsters off the steering wheel first.
