My candidate for #BiggestCoveredUpStoryOf2021 is the SAME as in 2018, 2019 & 2020: very senior Israeli officers created a fake #terrorist group (ie false flag) to hide their hand in a deadly car bombing terrorist campaign that killed hundreds of civilians in Lebanon in the 1980s
I wrote about these extraordinary revelations (that implicate Meir Daign, future Mossad chief; Ariel Sharon, future Prime Minister; & others) in May 2018. Since then, the US media in its ENTIRETY has continued to consider this NOT newsworthy : mondoweiss.net/2018/05/remark…
In 2019 I wrote article detailing how in 1981 Israeli military censor killed story by 2 Israeli journalists that was about to reveal whole thing! The car bombs continued to kill & maim for 2 more years. That too has been deemed NOT newsworthy by US media: mondoweiss.net/2019/10/it-is-…
I talked about these revelations, and about the history of the propagandistic discourse of terrorism, w/ @fails_when for @CarnegieMEC a few weeks ago here: carnegie-mec.org/diwan/85878 But in the US media, this topic (especially the idea that “we” can be terrorists too) remains taboo
As I argued in this Thread, only way “we” can continue to justify “our” uses of force vs the evil terrorists (bombings, drones, targeted killings etc…) is because “our” terrorism has been ERASED. This is why these media silences are SO problematic
I did the following Thread focusing specifically on the role Ariel Sharon personally played (he was Defense Minister at the time) in a car bombing campaign that killed at the very least 100 civilians in just 2 weeks (!!!) in October 1981:
And this Thread where I explained that these revelations appear to confirm that Israel was in fact behind assassination attempt against Gunther Dean, the US Ambassador to Lebanon (!!!) in 1980. Somehow this too has been deemed not newsworthy by US press:
And this is what I tweeted 3 years ago exactly:
I described how @tomfriedman covered several FLLF car bombings at the time. Identity of the group was unclear although Palestinians & many Lebanese people insisted Israel was behind it. Since 2018 Friedman has remained SILENT about Bergman’s revelations!

40 Years Ago Today
December 31, 1981
Lebanon. A packed stadium. Bombs are positioned where PLO leaders will be seated. Bigger bombs are outside, ready to kill panicked survivors
This is Olympia 2, one crazy operation in the Greatest Terrorist Campaign You Never Heard About
THREAD
On Jan 1, PLO will celebrate anniversary of its founding. Defense Minister Ariel Sharon sees opportunity: get rid of entire leadership in one fell swoop. On Dec 20, agents recruited by Meir Dagan place remotely controlled explosive devices in the stadium. But that's not all 2/
A secret Israeli unit has also prepared “three vehicles - a truck loaded with a ton and a half of explosives and two Mercedes sedans with 550 pounds each.” On Jan 1, members of the FLLF (more about the FLLF below) will drive & park the vehicles in front of the stadium. 3/

Recently @David_Philipps @EricSchmittNYT @AzmatZahra did GREAT job writing about civilians killed by US in GWOT. They have Israeli counterparts: in 81 Sarna& TalShir wrote story revealing @IDF officers' role in #terrorist campaign. It was CENSORED. Cover up continues TO THIS DAY:
A 2018 book by @ronenbergman revealed that Dagan, Eitan, BenGal & Sharon did indeed conduct deadly car bombing terrorist campaign in Lebanon. Remarkably: Bergman writes for the Times. Yet the Times, like the rest of US media, has decided that these revelations were NOT newsworthy
Even more stunning: in 1980s @tomfriedman covered several of these car bombings, sometimes on Front Page. Yet he has NOT written a WORD about revelations (by his NYT colleague) that Israel was behind this terrorist campaign (that killed 100s of civilians)

A 2018 bestseller about Israel's "targeted killings" COULD have led to intelligent, constructive public discussion about morality / legality of "our" uses of force vs "the terrorists"

THREAD about how the discourse of terrorism is pure ideology, impervious to fact & evidence
1/
The book, by @ronenbergman , is "Rise & Kill First." It is a history of Israel's uses of "targeted killings" in its fight vs "the terrorists." The book is a bestseller. It got rave reviews everywhere in the US press. Bergman gave dozens of public talks & interviews about it
2/
Book contains STUNNING revelations: in early 1980s very senior Israeli officials (Dagan, Eitan, Ben-Gal & Sharon) conducted huge car bombing #terrorist campaign that killed hundreds of civilians in Lebanon. Since 2018 these revelations have NOT been mentioned ONCE in US media

I ask US journos AGAIN: What exactly here (@ronenbergman revealed in 2018 that Israeli officers conducted secret terrorist car bombing campaign that killed 100s of civilians, it was covered up by act of censorship & this story may still b censored in ISR today) is NOT newsworthy?
In 1980s @tomfriedman covered several car bombings claimed by the FLLF on @nytimes 's front page. Bergman (his NYT colleague) revealed FLLF was CREATED & RUN by Israeli officers! Nearly 4 years later Tom has still not written a WORD about these revelations
In 1981 2 Israeli journalists for @YediotAhronot were about to reveal the truth about this secret terrorist operation conducted by Eitan, Dagan, Ben-Gal & others. The Israeli military censor killed that story (& the car bombs kept killing & maiming):

Patel's decision to list Hamas as a whole as a terrorist org is based on logic that its military & political wings are intertwined
Below is story of a terrorist car bombing campaign implemented by IDF & proxies under direction of Ariel Sharon, who was Israel's Defense Minister
According to Patel's logic (& logic applied by US & EU) not only should the whole @IDF (the "military wing") have been designated a "terrorist organization" but the entire Israeli government (the "political wing") should have been designated as such.
In real world, in 1981 Israeli military censor killed a story by 2 Israeli journalists that would have revealed the existence of this secret terrorist operation. And, since the whole thing was revealed in 2018, the US media has remained SILENT about it:

Until now Britain only banned Hamas' military arm, the Al Qassam Brigades. Now the ban will include Hamas as a whole. Obviously the rationale presented below is IRRELEVANT to such a decision. Let's see what the full rationale is in the next few days...
But for now, some context:
- Israel just listed 6 Palestinian HR Orgs as terrorists w/out ANY evidence
- The terrorism of settlers (often w/ protection & backing from Israeli forces) has been increasingly documented (eg by Btselem)
ie: the term "terrorism" is a propaganda weapon
- in 2018 @ronenbergman revealed @IDF officers ran terrorist group that used car bombs & killed 100s civilians in Lebanon in 80s. Reaction in West? NO call for investigations. NOT EVEN call for Israel to DENOUNCE & CONDEMN these past activities. Rather, reaction has been SILENCE
