The west virtually destroyed Syria over a decade-long proxy war (then direct military occupation) and continues to immiserate it through sanctions and other means of economic warfare and sabotage. The idea it “stood back and watched” is not only a lie, but deeply offensive. Image
Of course it is the guardian publishing this propaganda in order to call for further western aggression. Behind its progressive facade it’s probably the most reliably pro imperialist and pro war paper there is, it’s record is there for all to see.
This is who the Guardian is choosing to publish at this juncture: Image
“Stood back and watched”

On this day in 1966, Kwame Nkrumah was deposed as President of Ghana in a CIA coup. His editor & confidante June Milne believed the publication of his book ‘Neo-Colonialism’ the previous year was the “final straw” in the CIA’s decision to depose him.
The CIA wrote a review of Nkrumah's book at the end of 1965 that concluded by reporting copies of it had been sent to the African Division of the Deputy Directorate for Plans (DDP) - the CIA's covert action arm - for study & “whatever action these components consider advisable”.
I wrote about this and the broader context of books as propaganda here: roape.net/2021/11/04/lib…

Leader-focussed framing is a central component of Western propaganda campaigns. It’s used to sell the simple idea there is a “bad guy” who “we” must stand up to, & like clockwork, anyone who dares to critique that narrative is immediately labelled an apologist for that leader.
It’s an unfortunately effective means of controlling the narrative and limiting dissent, notably because it comes not only from the right, but habitually and vocally from prominent leftists like Owen Jones.

Immediately after Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967, it demolished the city's Moroccan Quarter in it’s entirety – a neighbourhood that had existed for 700 years. Its residents were given two hours' notice before the houses were bulldozed.
"So suddenly came this dictate that one woman from the quarter who did not hear the calls to vacate was buried alive beneath the rubble that evening. Her body was found the next morning under the ruins of her home."

Colin Powell’s shameful role in the US’ propaganda campaign to justify its invasion of Iraq is well known, but what’s less spoken about is that he facilitated, covered up and justified US war crimes in Vietnam, including the notorious My Lai Massacre. consortiumnews.com/2018/03/17/beh…

Today’s events are like those in Khalde a few months ago. There’s a clear plan to attempt to provoke Hezbollah into reaction by committing acts of violence against its supporters in order to spark civil conflict. It’s an additional element of the ongoing economic warfare model.
And all those people who are framing this latest violence in an intentionally vague manner that suggests Hezbollah or it’s supporters are responsible as opposed to those targeted are playing a part in the campaign.
To be expected from Al Jazeera but this kind of framing is disgusting and intentionally misleading. A protest didn’t spontaneously “erupt into violence” somehow – it was fired on by snipers.

Zionists having a collective meltdown over Sally Rooney supporting the cultural boycott of Israel is 👌
Shameless clowns ImageImageImageImage
When it suits their argument, Zionists fawn over Israel’s supposed democratic nature, when it doesn’t, suddenly the Israeli population has nothing to do with the acts of its government. Image
