It is said that the first casualty of war is the truth.
That's because there are two ways to miscarry the truth. There is the
deliberate way, which is done with the use of blue smoke and mirrors. And there
is the inadvertent way which is caused by the fog of war.
Parts of the Middle East
are in turmoil at this time, and much has happened that can be studied to help
us put those two realities in perspective. Now, as before, the Jewish
propaganda machine has exploded what may be called a cluster bomb of lies over America . These
are the same blue smoke and mirrors which, for several decades, have been
shaping America 's views
about the Middle East . Having monopolized the
public square in the absence of the social media of today, the Jews excluded
all opposition from the square while spewing massive amounts of lies, something
they did around the clock ... throughout the years ... decade after decade.
Had there been an honest “freedom of speech” in America during the past half century, we would
not be discussing the situation in occupied Palestine the way that we do today. It would
have been pointed out that when Jewish grandmothers and babies are taken into a
war zone where they can get hurt or killed, the responsibility for their fate
falls on the shoulders of those who sent them there, not on the Palestinians
who do not want them on their property. And this would have been the end of
discussion the way that discussions have ended with regard to South Africa and the former Zimbabwe .
If you find it difficult to believe this, recall what
happened when Israel bombed
a UN post in South Lebanon , killing scores of
peacekeepers. The post was populated by Canadians, among others, sent there by
their government to observe a ceasefire and report on violations if and when
they happened. Well, the bombing of the place is what happened, and when the
Prime Minister of Canada was advised of same, he blurted out: “What were they
[Canadian peacekeepers] doing there? Don't they know there is an ongoing war?”
And that was the end of this discussion. But if a Prime Minister can imply that
his soldiers asked for what befell them and were responsible for it, ask
yourself: what can be said about grandmothers and babies that were sent into a
war zone by their Israeli government?
Alas, when it comes to Jews, the discussion does not end
here. Despite the fact that not a single question of those that were asked of
reporters by their TV anchors (regular and cable) was put to them without a
preamble that portrayed the Israelis as victims and the Palestinians as
aggressors – the Jewish pundits and their echo repeaters have been spilling
rivers of tears because, they say, the “mainstream” media is biased against
Israel. And they undertook to deliver tons of spoken and written sermons to explain
their point of view.
Two examples illustrate the difference between the
deliberate use of smoke and mirrors to miscarry the truth, and the inadvertent
miscarrying of it when the fog of war plays a role. The first example is what
happened during the last Israeli assault on Gaza , a time when scores of innocent people
were bombed in their homes, on the beaches and in schools operated by UN
personnel. Israel
and its American supporters blamed the mishaps on the victims because they
opined that civilians had no business being close to military installations.
They said this, knowing that Gaza
is an overpopulated small territory where no place can be remote enough to
avoid the explosive force of 500 pound bombs.
Several investigations are ongoing to determine if war
crimes were committed by Israeli commanders, but that's not the focus of this
discussion. Of interest to us at this time are the walls of smoke and mirrors
that were erected to paint the Palestinians as the architects of their own
misery. The Jewish logic being that the Palestinians were to blame for staying
in their homes when the Jewish aggressors came to bomb them. But the reality
was that the bombing turned the entire Gaza
strip into a war zone, a place from which grandmothers and babies could not
escape.
Note that when people are killed – deliberately or
inadvertently – the incident becomes a mistake that cannot be corrected because
dead people cannot be resurrected.
Now contrast that reality with the incident which the Jewish
propaganda machine is using to argue that the mainstream media is biased
against Israel .
It happened that a reporter for MSNBC was in occupied Jerusalem when a Palestinian young man came
running, and was shot dead by the Israelis. He fell to the ground, and the
reporter said he could see neither a knife nor a gun in his hand. But the
camera never blinks – like says Dan Rather's book – and a replay of the scene
with freeze-frame showed that the young man had a knife in the hand before falling
to the ground. Well, that was a minor mistake on the part of the reporter,
something that resulted from the fog of war. It was corrected instantly, and no
one was hurt but the ego of the reporter.
Note that the mistake in this case was made inadvertently,
that no one got hurt or killed in the process, and that it was corrected. Such
mistakes happen all the time in the fog of war, and they are fixed if not
instantly, after a while.
The upshot of all this is that time after time, what
happened as a result of Israeli mistakes, is that Palestinians were killed, and
the Jews erected walls of smoke and mirrors to argue that it was the fault of
the victims. But when – as a result of the fog of war – someone said something
that turned out to be exaggerated or false, the Jews and their echo-repeaters
blew their entrails out of their bellies, hollering their pain at a media they
accused of being biased … even after the media corrected their mistakes, and no
one got hurt in the process.
