Top Middle East official at State, David Schenker, just gave an interview to a Lebanese website (US propaganda now favor websites over traditional media to disseminate their propaganda). 1) he actually threatened Lebanon if it reaches economic agreements with China and spoke
About China being this intimidating global power. He must have had his government confused with China. He actually threatened Lebanon if it reaches agreements with China. As one reader on FB asked: has China ever threatened a country if it were to reach agreements with US? No.
2) he reiterated that the US will support Israel in the event of any war and that it supports Israeli right to self-defense. So what he is saying: no matter how and when war starts, the US will determine that Israel is in self-defense. 3) he goes on and speaks at length about
Hizbullah corruption. OK: let us accept that there is corruption within Hizbullah (and let us say that Nasrallah lives in palaces like US clients, Jumblat, Hariri, Miqati, etc) and that his children spend their vacations in Monte Carlo like children of US clients: but how come
This officials pretending that US is opposed to corrupt Lebanese politicians, never utter a word agianst the MOST corrupt politicians, Jumblat, Miqati, Hariri, Murr, Sanyurah, Berri, Jarrah, Hamadeh, RIAD SALAMEH, etc? Does he know how lacking in credibility the US is and people
See through his unintelligent propaganda? 4) he defends Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace by pretending that UNIFIL is not doing its job. There was no UNIFIL before 1978, and US always supported Israeli violations of Lebanese airspace and water even when there was no
Palestinian or Lebanese resistance of any kind in Lebanon. US wants Lebanon to be an appendage or a client of Israel and that is something that most Lebanese—and certainly the overwhelming majority of people in South Lebanon—will settle for. His rhetoric on Lebanon drips with
Disdain, contempt, condescension, and classical vulgar Orientalism. Schenker and his ilk really think that brown and black natives are too dumb to see through the rhetoric of US propaganda. Notice the tone when US officials speak to Israeli media. A whole different story.
5) he reminds Lebanese of anti-Muslim stances of the Chinese government. Yes, Mr. Schenker: we are aware of the highly sensitive and loving message of your government toward Islam and Muslims. We are aware that unlike the Chinese government, the US is noted for its sensitivity
Toward Islam and Muslims. 6) he warns Lebanese that if they reach agreements in the telecommunication sector with China, the Chinese government could steal data of the Lebanese people. Oh, yes, Mr. Schenker: we are also aware that the US government does not engage in espionage
Unlike the Chinese government. We are aware that the US abhors spying on Arabs.
will not settle for.
