"I Aint Reading All That; Free Palestine" by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

The meme enrages Israel supporters because Israel apologia depends on mountains of verbiage to spin obvious atrocities as reasonable and appropriate. At some point the kids noticed this was happening, and started dismissing all the narratives.

A Zionist podcaster named Blake Flayton had a delightful tantrum that is going around Twitter at the moment in which he bemoans the way pro-Palestinian social media users have been responding to long pro-Israel screeds with a graphic saying "i aint reading all that; free palestine", a variation on the popular I Aint Reading All That meme.

""I aint reading all that, Free Palestine" is a cute internet meme for anti-Israel douchebags, but also a perfect encapsulation of a movement which refuses to engage with venerable scholarship or critical thinking," gripes Flayton.

The meme enrages Israel supporters because Israel apologia depends on mountains of verbiage to spin obvious atrocities as reasonable and appropriate. At some point the kids noticed this was happening, and started dismissing all the narratives.

""I aint reading all that, Free Palestine" is a standard reply to any 10,000 word essay from a zionist employed at the Burgerwaffen Institute of Applied Hasbara on why it is okay to bomb the limbs off starving children," an account with the handle aufhabenenjoyer explains in response to Flaytons post.

The retort is offensive to Israel apologists because it takes away their only weapon.

Without mountains of narrative, all you have got is a nonstop deluge of raw video footage depicting the blatant genocidal criminality of Israel.

No narrative overlay is required atop a video of a baby beheaded by Israeli military explosives. It stands on its own. You would only need narrative to explain why the footage of the headless baby does not say bad things about the side that is dropping the bombs.

You do not need narrative to frame such things are unacceptable, you only need narrative to frame them as acceptable.

You do not need mountains of words to frame Israels actions as evil, you only need mountains of words to frame Israels actions as good.

It actually speaks to a healthy wisdom that young people have begun disregarding the narratives and sticking to what is immediately obvious before the narrative spin begins, because mental narratives are how humanity has gotten itself into so much trouble throughout the ages.

It is not the immediate here and now that has caused us to commit genocides and mass atrocities throughout history, it is the mental stories that have been put in our minds by the powerful telling us why it is actually good and smart to do something evil and stupid.

In the immediate here and now there is nothing telling you it would be good to start raining military explosives onto a giant concentration camp full of children; such things only look reasonable after ingesting and believing copious amounts of narrative.

Manipulators understand that they can use narrative to promote material agendas if they can get people to believe those narratives, and it enrages them when people handwave away the narrative and stick solely with the raw data of material reality.

If you have based your life around trading empty narrative fluff for real material resources and gains, having your narratives dismissed can feel like holding a huge pile of currency that suddenly got devalued to zero. Of course the manipulators would be upset about this.

I have been very impressed with the way young people have been navigating through this horrible mess. Gen Z might just turn this world around!!
