walter duranty would be proud

 the hoaxes of Hamas are echoed by the MSM

I have worked in war zones, and this angers me because it is distorting what is going on to stay in power, 

and the more they get their useful idiots (to use Stalin's term) to parrot the propaganda to get allies to their side (they support Hamas out of compassion because they believe the propaganda), the less they will be willing to negotiate an end to this war, and the more people will die.

This reminds me of the propaganda about Viet Nam, where the lies ignored both the corruption of the south's government and the open atrocities of the North Vietnamese soldiers who were fighting to impose communism. The naive were manipulated and pressured the US withdrawal thinking the result would be peace, but where as soon as the war ended, the MSM and the public looked the other way while millions were killed, died fleeing, or put into concentration camps by the communists.

what angers me the most is that they are weaponizing compassion: as Neibuhr observed, the naive children of light underestimate evil and by doing so allow evil to win.

Indeed, with the Europeans now not only condemn Israel for non existant genocide,  they are saying they want a Palestinian state by those very same murderers who started the war and stole aid money to buy weapons to go to war.

The Europeans, unlike the other Arab countries are not stating who should run it. But what is worse, by playing into their cynical manipulation/psychological warfare, they essentially are encouraging, Hamas to leave the negotiations for peace last week, and hence prolong the war and suffering of their people. Because hey, they are essentially outsiders who are puppets of Iran's plans to take over the Islamic world, and don't care for their people.

Legal Insurrecton has an article on the top Pallywood hoaxes.

 Here are two examples

one:  the exaggerated number of dead:


98% of global outlets use the death toll figures provided by Hamas. 

And Hamas would never lie, would they?  


 Even then, Hamas’s numbers — under 60,000 fatalities, three quarters of them are men between 13 and 55 — do not satisfy the anti-Zionist true believers.

In other words, most of the dead are militry age men, or soldiers, not civilians. But of course this is ignored by the True believers.  

In a manner reminiscent of the unstoppable global warming hype, a group of activists took it upon themselves to extrapolate from projections.

italics mine. 

Last summer, the British magazine Lancet published a statement speculating that the total number of fatalities could be as high as 186,000.

Lancet is not merely a British magazine, but used to be an esteemed medical journal, and traditionally medical journals are supposed to be scientifically accurate. But in the last 30 years, these journals (Lancet, BMJ, NEJM, JAMA9 have allowed activists to publish politically biased articles to manipulate the public  not just here but in the Gulf war and Covid. 

The author Martin McKee soon admitted that the figure is “purely illustrative.”

translation: Made up. 

His piece was not an article, but a non-peer reviewed letter.

In other words, no one checked his data. And no one bothered to point this out as his opinion was pushed as fact by the MSM.


Nonetheless, it made headlines and gave Anti-Zionists an opening to say that, according to the most prestigious medical journal in the world, the number of casualties in Gaza is much higher than reported....

this is not the only time that the "most prestigious medical journal in the world", i.e. Lancet was behind a hoax to push a psyop for the powers that be.

 Lancet publishing a letter that Covid was not a lab leak? How dare you suggest maybe Chinese lab was careless (even though there had been other known lab leads in China in recent years).

And only later did they retract part of the lttr since this letter was sponsored and written by the head of Ecohealth, who were funding the wuhan lab's research..

Place Fauci and Big Pharma conspiracy theory here. In the past it was the Democrats who would have noticed and investigated this, and lucky for the USA, RFK Jr., a Democrat, is willing to do this for Trump, an ex Democrat...

Nor is this scandal an isolated case:: even science Magazine noted the biased ar icles against drugs that could treat covid.  

The same here, and the same thing happened in reviewing using medicines to treat covid: Bad data, but hey Trump pointed out that maybe these medicines should be used, so the journals decided to itnore science becuse orange man bad.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,

and another hoax that is being trumpeted is against the US/Israel food distribution. 

The other NGOs are mad because this was started because they cooperated with Hamas, i.e. let them smuggle in weapons with the food, and also let them steal the food and sell it for a profit. 

A good reporter would notice this, but hey most of AlJ's reporters and the NGO reporters are Hamas patsies.

again from LI:

In late May, Hamas began alleging that the Israeli Defense Forces were firing on Gazans congregating near GHF distribution points, killing hundreds.

I believe the source of this hoax was some deaths shooting rioters who were attacking the food distribution center. So there is a splinter of truth. 

But of course like the civilian deaths, it is being distorted out of context and with exaggerated numbers. 

why do I say this? Because of the dog that didn't bark...

Despite the fact that every Gazan has a cell phone, no such event has been documented. Pallywood didn’t bother to fake videos of the diseased or stage funeral processions.

 

Israel’s own footage confirmed that no bullets were fired at the crowd at the time of alleged massacres. Yet plenty of recordings of Hamas stealing aid and abusing Gazans are flooding social media. Hundreds of trucks worth of aid are left undistributed.

In the meanwhile, the aid supposed to be given out by the UN and the NGOs is just sitting there. Why? 

Although the IDF found no signs of it, some observers believe that the terror group is trying to engineer a famine in the areas it controls in order to create diplomatic pressure on their neighbor.,,

and here it the way the heirs of Walter Duranty are imitating their hero: 

Western media today is increasingly allied with Qatar’s Al Jazeera on the question of Jews.

 

Media malpractice is nothing new, but when people are being lied to like that, it’s usually because they are being prepped for a genocide.

not just of Israel but of Jews world wide. One only has to look at what happened in universities against students because of their Jewish ancestry.

And alas even the Catholics are in on spreading the hatred: The Pope accepted the lies of Israel destroying a church (which didn't happen: a photo shop showed smoke from a nearby fire and focused the photo as if the church was burning). Well, I know from experience that the Catholic church is full of leftist idieologues who want to take over the church. But here, unlike the Latin mass and pedophile controversies, the Trads are also full of anti Semites who seem to believe long debunked conspiracy theories about the Jewish community.  

Sigh.
