Gaza Genocide: The Coverup Begins. Johnny-Come-Lately Journos & Politicos Start Covering Keister
• https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Ilana MercerThanks not to the MIA Media, but to Palestinian journalists, the living and the martyred, The Truth about genocide in Gaza continues to be conveyed faithfully and meticulously. ~ilana
With the Genocide of Gaza accomplished; a convoluted coverup has begun. The Johnny-Come-Lately culprits, the professional liars in media, politics, in advocacy and in the tech industry—also the custodians of The Narrative—have commenced their dull recital of excuse-making.
A dull mediocrity which was fully behind Israel—or, alternatively, had confined itself to occasional quips about mass murder in Gaza being antithetical to the American "national interest"—is suddenly simulating belated passion for the truth. Or, versions thereof. All to sanitize their sins.
Having carved out "a place of massive impunity" for Netanyahu and his complicit countrymen, these sinecured, "credentialed" Western elites have duly begun to hijack storylines—even chronology—to absolve themselves of the genocide of Gaza. The same "perpetrator block," wading in the blood of Palestinians, intends, for now, to remain mum about the territorial asphyxiation of Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. There, strategic adaptations of the Twenty-First Century Gaza Holocaust are rapidly and energetically underway. Pursuant to popular demand in Israel proper, Jewish-Israeli settlers are purloining Palestinian land and lives in the West Bank.
I had imagined that the media organ's formulaic production had reached a nadir in Iraq, when my own passion burned as hot as a Babylonian kiln against that war. The "Truth" about Iraq, I had then observed incredulously, arrived officially only once the Empire's agents declared it so, and released it in massaged, flattering form. And only as exigencies of power allowed. The sizeable dissident community did not rate a mention.
The current crop of Israel apostles who've connived and colluded to suppress truth include, broadly speaking, the Western news, commentary, advocacy and policy-making classes; the overarching tentacular corporate media and its clientele—the military-media-congressional-industrial complex, if you will. In a word, the international Imperial Comitatus: the foot soldiers who share in the loot or aspire to do so (like "Washington's Arab puppets, whose sound and fury signify nothing").
