Israeli Suffering Is Not Comparable To Palestinian Suffering by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):
A thousand Israelis dying (probably hundreds by indiscriminate IDF fire) is not comparable to tens of thousands of Palestinians (probably more) being deliberately exterminated by high tech war machinery, even if before you account for the fact that Israel was the aggressor and that the violence of the oppressed is not comparable to the violence..
The mass media are once again pushing the narrative that Israel is "scaling back" its operations in Gaza, which as journalist Sana Saeed noted on Twitter is a claim they have been falsely making for months. To promote such stories even as Israel publicly declares that it is preparing for an invasion of Rafah is absurd and irresponsible.
A member of the Israeli Knesset named Limor Son Har-Melech says there are secret Israeli plans to establish settlements in the Gaza Strip. It sure is a crazy coincidence how every single part of Israels response to October 7 has looked exactly the same as what it would look like if Israel just started doing all the things that it has wanted to do to the Palestinians for generations.
Biden has declared "ironclad" support for Israel as fears mount that Iran will soon retaliate for the Israeli strike on its consulate building in Syria which killed multiple Iranian military officers, despite the fact that Iran has made it clear to the White House that if the United States comes to Israels defense it will make the United States a target as well.
We could be near the precipice of the worst-case nightmare scenario of all possible middle eastern conflicts because of this presidents unwavering support for the genocidal Zionist state.
In the early weeks of Israels assault Palestinian journalists were filling social media with footage of Israeli atrocities in Gaza.
We are seeing far less footage now because the journalists have been killed and access to the internet made far more difficult and Palestinian access to much of Gaza has been restricted, but it is important to remember that those atrocities have continued to happen this entire time.
I am sick of hearing October 7 mentioned in the same breath as Israels incineration of Gaza as though they are equal or even comparable.
A thousand Israelis dying (probably hundreds by indiscriminate IDF fire) is not comparable to tens of thousands of Palestinians (probably more) being deliberately exterminated by high tech war machinery, even if before you account for the fact that Israel was the aggressor and that the violence of the oppressed is not comparable to the violence of the oppressor in the first place.
But that is what you will hear all the time from polite western liberals trying to walk a center line on the Israel-Palestine issue.
They will talk about how "sad" and "tragic" and "heartbreaking" BOTH the butchery in Gaza AND October 7 are, giving equal weight to two exponentially unequal acts of violence.
This is the same as lying.
It actively misrepresents what is actually going on, leading to widespread misunderstanding like the fact that half of Americans have no idea whether more Palestinians or Israelis are being killed in the current "war".
Trying to balance out two wildly unbalanced events gives people a wildly unbalanced understanding of what is really happening, leading to a wildly unbalanced worldview. But you see this constantly, and the western political-media class do everything they can to feed into it.
Israeli suffering is not equal to Palestinian suffering. It is not even in the same ballpark. Pretending otherwise is deceitful and manipulative.
Normal person: It is bad to murder children
Crazy person: Aha I see you hate the Jewish faith
"It is so sad and tragic that children are being fed to the Child Incineration Machine," said the liberal while loading the children onto the conveyor belt. "It is heartbreaking!"
Is there a word for the tactic where a government does something evil and then throws out a bunch of flimsy lies right off the bat to mute the initial backlash, so when the truth comes out public attention has moved on and it has no impact Whatever that is, Israel excels at it.
Funny how people get so emotionally invested in United States presidential elections when the whole system is stacked to ensure that each party wins half the time.
It is like putting 10 blue marbles and 10 red ones in a hat and crying when you pull out a red one and celebrating when it is blue.
