I personally know people who lived under Israel’s illegal occupation of Lebanon. If America knew even HALF of the shit they get up to, we would demand all funding be cut off immediately.
Don’t be naïve, the US knows it, but simply they don’t care, as it doesn’t fit their narrative
The US government knows it, the US citizens are almost wholly ignorant of it.
America knows, America supports it. Quit thinking America is moral. It is THE LEAST moral country that exists.
American citizens don’t know because the information is being kept from them.
I don’t think it’s simply a question of knowledge. A lot of people make money by supporting the status quo, especially the military industrial complex, and other people hold racist views towards all Palestinians.
I’m guessing it all comes down to money.
Pretty rare to see an honest reveal on how much of a propaganda mouthpiece one of these big Western news agencies is.
Now if only people will remember this and not come down with Gell-Mann Amnesia the next time the free press is pushing people to hate a group or take sides in a conflict.
The thing about this is, it’s not like CNN’s coverage of this is different than that of the other Western media outlets, so presumably the same things are happening in every one of their newsrooms. They all did things like dehumanize the Palestinians by referring to their deaths in the passive voice.
It would be if they were a journalistic outlet rather than a nonsentient mouthpiece for the US state department and its allies.
No it isn’t, being generally pro israel is just the unpopular opinion rn, it will flip back within the decade.
