It’s really quite simple.
If it is critical of Israel, it is a myth. If it gives Israel a pass, it
is fact.
Wolf Blitzer published a book, in
which he promoted one piece of Zionist propaganda after another and denounced
Palestinian views as “spurious myths.” It is a myth that Arab citizens were
“massacred” at Deir Yassin, a “myth” that Palestinian refugees “were major
victims of the 1948 war,” and a “myth” that “Jewish atrocities” caused the
Palestinians to flee.[1]
I read his book.[2] He
declares that “Arabs formed a majority of the population in Palestine in 1948
is a myth.” Then once he gets rid of the
Palestinian population, it’s anything goes; that Palestinians were the victims
of the establishment of the State of Israel, that the Palestinian question is
the core of the Arab-Israeli conflict, that Israel discriminates against its
Arab citizens, it’s all a myth.
In reality, at the founding of the State of Israel, numerous
acts of violence were designed to frighten Arabs into fleeing for their lives.
One of the best documented examples was the village of Deir Yassin
I saw cut-off genitalia and women’s
crushed stomachs. It was direct murder. Soldiers shot everyone they saw,
including women and children. Parents begged commanders to stop the slaughter,
to please stop shooting.[3]
No one denies that most of those slashed to death were women
and children. Jewish terrorist shot people in their homes and threw their
bodies into the streets as a message to neighboring Arab villages. Survivors of
the raid tell stories of Israeli soldiers starting to kill early in the morning
and continuing all day. They killed everyone they saw, including old people and
children. One pregnant woman had her stomach cut open with a butcher’s knife.[4]
Rather than hiding its face in shame, Israel’s leaders
promoted the massacre to frighten other villages into fleeing their homes and
leaving them for Israeli Jews to occupy, “free of charge.”
Yet, Blitzer claims that the massacre of innocent Arabs in Deir Yassin did not
happen, It’s all a myth.
Blitzer, pro-Israeli lobbyist for AIPAC-turned-news-anchor,
has become the face of CNN and CNN has become the propagandist for Israel.
The Day after the violent murders
of four Rabbis in a Jerusalem synagogue, CNN hosted eight Jewish Israelis,
three Jewish Americans but, not a single Palestinian to comment on the violence
in Israel… the next day, CNN hosted seven pro-Israel guests including Alan
Dershowitz, twice. While 15 pro-Israel guests were hosted in just two days, not
a single Palestinian or Arab was asked to comment on the violence in Israel-Palestine.
“This one-sided narrative allows the erroneous and self-serving assertions of
the most right-wing and hyper-nationalistic government in Israel’s history to
go unchecked.”[5]
I guess when Dershowitz said that Israel “has never attacked
a mosque,” he forgot about the 73 mosques in Gaza that were completely
demolished during Israel’s bombardment in 2014 and the 205 others partially
destroyed when they were deliberately targeted by Israeli bombers.
So, I say shame on CNN for committing itself more to
propaganda than to news. But, I say shame on us more if we allow CNN to dupe us
with Wolf’s world.

Ted Turner has done a great disservice to his country by selling CNN to Zionist elements that completed their control of the media.
ReplyDeleteVery sinister to lie the way they do.
ReplyDeleteI noticed this trend when I discovered Leia Terrachanskys, On the side of the road video. Israel is a divided country and Zionists are not traditional in any way. I recently read the International Jew, by Henry Ford and the slow, steady drive to get Zionists in to positions of power has ben accomplished over many decades. I know many traditional Jews and they are critical of Israel but are afraid to voice it, with the exception of Chomsky and Finklestien, who are vilified by the lobby. This power to discredit, vilify,fire or smear someone, who is critical, gets you labeled as an anti semmite or a self hating Jew. Ford mentioned the international nature of Jewish financial players, before Israel was a state and since then, most Jewish Americans have duel citizenship? But loyalty to one country should be the norm and yet, they get no criticisim for this? You may be a duel citizen by law but it is oxymoronic to believe it is possible to serve two masters, so to speek. I never hear Russian immigrants describe themselves as dual citizens and if they did, they would be vilified for it but not Israellis or American Jews? They have taken over our finances, government and all other areas of communication and this was part of the plan. Ford points out in his book that the Federal reserve was part of this international plan. This was a long term strategy that has worked very well but could be the destruction of our country.
