The mainstream corporate media — always a mere two to three years behind on every story — is finally coming to terms with (some of) the reality of the October 7, 2023, attack. It is suddenly acceptable for the liberal corporate pro-Israel outlets to say Netanyahu obviously knew October 7th was going to happen.
It’s been three years since the attack. For three whole years, many of us in the endlessly maligned and suppressed independent media world have been shouting from the hills that Israel’s ruling elite knew the attacks would happen, knew exactly how they would happen, facilitated them by pulling troops and security away from the border wall, then greatly amped up the death count by having the Israeli military massacre hundreds of innocent people via the Hannibal Directive.
For revealing the truth, per usual, we are mocked, suppressed, harassed and called conspiracy theorists.
And just this week, our beloved corporate media outlets such as NPR, MS Now, The Atlantic, BBC, the New York Times and more have “realized” we were right all along.
The only thing they’re reporting that is even remotely new is that the leader of the United Arab Emirates also warned Netanyahu ten days before the attack. Everything else has been known for years.
Egypt warned Israel.
US intelligence warned Israel.
Israel possessed Hamas’s entire planning document for a year beforehand.
Israel watched Hamas train for a year in advance.
Hamas posted videos and photos of its training.
None of this is even remotely new reporting. It’s been well known for years. The only thing that’s changed is that in the past few weeks corporate media has suddenly gotten the green light to begin connecting the dots and blaming Netanyahu. Obviously, the purpose is to remove the psychopathic Prime Minister from office in the upcoming election and scapegoat him for the genocide, in order to save the apartheid ethnostate “experiment.”
It won’t work.
I don’t mean he won’t lose the election. He very well might. I mean the plan won’t succeed at saving Israel.
A live-streamed genocide of this scale cannot be undone or papered over. It’s the first ever genocide that we could all watch fairly easily on our phones. The unbelievable bloodlust of the Israeli government can be ignored no longer. The immoral, soulless plan to kill or remove over 2 million innocent people can’t be forgotten or forgiven.
Benjamin Netanyahu did not commit this unfathomable tragedy by himself. He was not the one pushing the buttons to bomb schools and hospitals and homes and refugee tents. He was not the one shooting each child in the head. He was not the only one cutting off food and water and medicine.
A genocidal, racist apartheid ethnostate cannot stand. It doesn’t matter whose dumb face is on the nameplate.
