Matt Taibbi Flashback (9/11): CNN Sentences Palestine To Death

There was a candlelight vigil in East Jerusalem on the night of the 9/11 attacks, Yassir Arafat gave blood, schoolchildren around the country took part in moments of silence…

Instead, the media showed the same 30-second clip over and over… The obvious agenda was to rally its viewers around the very crudest response to the news: violence needed to be met with more violence and a political clampdown…

Probably no single film clip in recent history has had as much of an impact as the Palestine clip. Summing it up was Ehud Sprinzak, an Israeli expert on terrorism, quoted in Reuters referring to the clip: “From the perspective of Jews, it is the most important public relations act ever committed in our favor.”

Matt Taibbi Flashback (9/11): CNN Sentences Palestine To Death

Israeli to American: “The godly thing to do is to kill you”.

Bitchute

Middle East Eye just uploaded this video. It’s from a few years ago. I remembered that I had uploaded it to my Bitchute. Apparently, it’s resurfaced on social media. I’ve only found it recently posted on Reddit.

“The Godly thing to do is to kill you. That’s what the Torah says.” Video footage captured a verbal altercation that took place when an Israeli approached a group of Americans who had been stopped by Israeli police for unknown reasons. The video stirred controversy on social media and a debate about the rights of US citizens in Israel.

Is The Torah Condemning Of Killing Non-Believers?

The Torah, Judaism’s holiest text, does not explicitly state that non-believers should be killed. However, there are a number of passages in the Torah that have been interpreted by some as calling for the death of non-believers. For example, in Exodus 22:20, the Torah says, “Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord must be destroyed.” And in Deuteronomy 13:6-10, the Torah says that if a city turns to idol worship, the entire city should be put to the sword.

This article was originally written as a private letter addressed to Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his campaign manager, former Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH). Unanswered since it was sent in early June 2023, it is now published as an open letter.

The Kennedy hall of shame on Palestine

This is so bad, it’s almost parody but unfortunately it demonstrates Kennedy is no different to Biden, Harris and bi-partisan associates when it comes to Foreign policy and the ‘security’ of Israel. He can’t pronounce Chechnya. He calls the hijab “habib”. It’s a genuinely embarrassing display of ignorance and orientalism.

What Israel’s Controversial Judicial Overhaul Means for Palestinians

What Israel’s Controversial Judicial Overhaul Means for Palestinians (archived)

For Palestinians, many of whom will have watched yesterday’s events from the sidelines, the judicial overhaul only stands to accelerate what has already been a worsening situation. The last couple of years have seen a major uptick in violence in the occupied territories, marked by deadly military raids and settler rampages. 2022 was the deadliest year for Palestinians in nearly two decades, and this year appears on course to beat that record. “The trends that we’re seeing have become much worse,” says Zonszein. “The reality on the ground for Palestinians was bad before [the judicial overhaul], and it’s bad now.”
