Two weeks ago, it was widely reported across all the Western legacy media that Israel had fire-bombed a hospital leaving patients to burn to death in their beds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A few days later, we were told by the same Western legacy media that Israeli strikes inside Lebanon had destroyed a 2000-year-old village<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today, CNN\u2019s front page<\/a> hosts an IDF soldier describing Israel\u2019s practice of using civilians as human shields in Gaza, while the Guardian details an Israeli strike on school-turned-bomb shelter<\/a> in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Now, it\u2019s not at all unusual that Israel should be committing war crimes, they\u2019ve been doing so unchecked for decades.<\/p>\n

But what is less usual is seeing these war crimes appearing on front pages and \u00a0in headlines in the controlled media.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all been doing this long to have dispelled any idea the MSM cares about truth.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t care about truth. Not at all. In fact these days their internal structures barely permit them to recognize truth as a concept.<\/p>\n

Nothing \u2013 nothing<\/em> \u2013 \u00a0is so true the media have<\/em> to report it, no crimes are so brutal they can\u2019t be ignored.<\/p>\n

Case in point, in Odessa in 2014 civilians protesting the NATO-backed coup in Ukraine were chased inside the Trade Union building by pro-coup neo-Nazis.<\/p>\n

The building was barricaded and set on fire. People climbing out of the windows to escape the flames were shot at.<\/p>\n

Forty people died, shot or burned to death. The neo-Nazis responsible celebrated by showing pictures of beetles being set alight (their disparaging term for ethnic Russians was \u201cColorado beetles\u201d in reference to the orange and black ribbon of St George they wore).<\/p>\n

How did the legacy media respond to this murder?<\/p>\n

Well, they just lied.<\/p>\n

They claimed the protesters set the fire by accident when they were throwing Molotov cocktails off the roof<\/a>. This was a complete fabrication, contradicted by CCTV evidence, blaming the victims and covering for the fascists, \u00a0but so what? They media didn\u2019t care, they just kept repeating the lie and are still doing so today<\/p>\n

Truth is irrelevant, narrative is all. That\u2019s how the media works.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve done the same in the past \u00a0for Israel , the US, Saudi Arabia, NATO\u2026whoever\u2026countless times over the years.<\/p>\n

And yet \u00a0here we are, in \u00a02024, with these Israeli crimes all over the controlled news.<\/p>\n

They could lie if they wanted, as they usually do.<\/p>\n

But they aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

It prompts the eternal question: \u201cWhy this? Why now?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
