Pretty rich that these outlets condemn governments for ‘having “issued barely a word of condemnation” of their ally’s criminality’ when they should have been asking this question a year and a half ago instead of engaging in the complicity. That’s the fucking job of a free press, which they shirked.

Governments aren’t going to do the right thing without pressure, but despite everyone in the public (with a spine) yelling about genocide, they never put any pressure on.

I’m sure in addition to what’s been publicly stated as happening right now being indefensible even to the most in-denial people out there (at least out of those who want to be able to believably claim they care at all about human rights), it helps that in the UK at least, cases have been moving forward against war criminals with dual citizenship. (Identified “veterans” of the genocidal campaign have been charged elsewhere as well but I haven’t heard how those cases are progressing yet.)

Better 60 years too late than never

The title would have been more accurate as Multiple UK media outlets… Western incorrectly implies this is happening in the US too

Now that the genocide is all but over, it’s time to bulldoze the rubble, and rebuild. Within a few months of Oct 7, Kushner was already negotiating to build luxury hotels, resorts, and condos on the the Gaza waterfront. They had a game plan from the outset, which has likely been in place for a long time, just waiting for a justification to go after it. October 7 provided that tipping point.

Then HitlerPig started talking about taking over Gaza, and controlling it, calling it the Gaza Riviera. Clearly, they want to create a Jewish Dubai, where rich Jews, and everybody else, could spend their money with somebody other than Muslims.

HitlerPig’s “Secretary of Faith” has even come out to say that every American Christian should make a pilgrimage to Israel, or God won’t let them into heaven. Imagine if every Christian had to make the Christian equivalent of the Muslim Hajj, and they had to visit HitlerPig’s new Gaza Riviera, and stay in his hotels and eat in his restaurants?

HitlerPig was talking about this the last time he was visiting with Genocidal Bibi, talking about America (obviously meaning himself) controlling it, and clearly making his visitor very uncomfortable. This is Israeli sovereign territory, land they consider literally Sacred. They didn’t like having to cede it to the Palestinians, and they aren’t going to like ceding it to America, or HitlerPig, any more than Palestine.

Now that the genocide is all but over, it’s time to manage HitlerPig’s grand expectations, and he won’t like that.

A lot of liberal media outlets are more willing to criticize now that they can pin it on Trump specifically, rather than having to admit it’s a bipartisan genocide

Every current politician in the world should be made to wear a badge, as long as they hold office, that says: “I stayed silent under the Genocide in Gaza!”

The best time to stop the genocide was a year and a half ago. The next best time is now.

Only time will tell however I suspect this is strategic dishonesty and narrative manipulation. Specifically planting these seeds of ‘honesty’ and doubt they can reference back to in 15 years to claim they were impartial and not totally rags of the bourgeoisie and Anglo-American imperialism. They know if they get caught just being stridently wrong for years that hurts public trust in them which lowers their propaganda value to the bourgeoisie and empire planners. But if they can pivot like this, even if they don’t stick it out they can point to this and claim, oh we got that one wrong but we had dissenting opinions and we can change, we can change, which is the same kind of narrative America uses to convince its population it’s not an amoral evil empire and hasn’t been since inception. Admit to crimes in the past or when they’re already mostly done, say you’re sorry for the crimes or they were wrong. Claim to have changed and learn from them, continue committing new crimes, repeat the cycle forever and the poor saps, the indoctrinated children will believe they live in a country that can change and was flawed but constantly improving instead of just constantly inventing new crimes and victims and excuses.

This is also what is so foolish about the conservative rage about schools allegedly teaching kids to “hate America” by teaching about past crimes and atrocities. They don’t understand that it’s a relief valve. That it teaches those but also whitewashes the crimes and allows new ones by constantly apologizing for the past but never changing the present. And without that kind of valve if you have any kind of educated population you have problems as people start connecting the present to the past. Probably why they also want to gut education entirely and replace it with Evangelical fundamentalism.

So IMO, no forgiveness. This is a cynical ploy, if you weren’t condemning ‘israel’ as an apartheid occupation settler state before Oct 7th and you were in a position to have an educated and informed opinion like being a journalist then you’re scum. If 8 months after Oct 7th deep into the accelerated phase of the open genocide which has been continuing at various tempos for half a century you were not against them then you’re scum, you’re an apologist for genocide, you’re Goebbels. If you weren’t acknowledging the legitimate right of Hamas to violent resistance and therefore the legality of Oct 7th after a year you were on the side of the genocidal oppressors in muddying the waters at the least.

This is also I think part of the pivot to heap blame for all of this on Netanyahu, to basically put this all in his lap. To say yes atrocities against humanity (they’ll waffle on genocide as the right term) were done but they’re all the fault of this one guy, not ‘israel’ as a whole which has always been and will always be a settler colonial project built on genocide and land theft and religio-racial supremacy. And certainly that the west is blameless and didn’t know. Absolutely at all costs that it wasn’t the west doing anything wrong. That way once they kick Bibi out of office there they can claim the zionist project has changed because that one uniquely bad man is gone, ignoring the massive support his genocidal policies have, ignoring the massive documented racism and hatred and genocidal intent among the entirety of ‘israeli’ society. They will do this to save the greater project of ‘israel’ as a western colonial outpost by sacrificing one leader and a few other usual suspects in the sphere of public opinion condemnation. And they will do this to pretend their own hands are and always were clean and that they were just duped, misled by this scheming Jew and oh wait they’re doing classic anti-semitism but they’re allowed to do that because it’s been redefined as being against ‘israel’ and anything else including literal Nazi salutes is liable to be defended by the zionist entity and their western backers.

Only those in power. The rest of us complain that the Palestinian assholes started it but then the Israel assholes took it out on all the wrong people.

Good. I saw an article the other day that kept referring to protesters against Palestinian genocide as “agitators.” They already lost conservatives to thinking mainstream news media was corrupt. Maybe they shouldn’t operate in a way where leftist also abandon them and possibly get hostile like conservatives

It’s about time.

Israel can’t survive without US backing. I’m surprised they’re giving it up

So they’re all waking up finally ???
