Thank you as always for the work you do. I agree completely with your analysis, and Chomsky's too. Corporate, "mainstream" media is of no value, really, other than to see how unquestioning worshippers of the West think, and how they want their readers/viewers to think. The basic theme is that the "West" is right, and anyone who disagrees with or is opposed to it is wrong. This is why I stopped reading, listening to or viewing "mainstream" media 35 years ago. I encourage everyone to do the same.
Thanks, Bob. It's been clear for some time that the entire media system is under a kind of de facto military-industrial complex occupation. The propaganda service supplied from all ends of the supposed media 'spectrum' on Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and now Gaza and Ukraine is very clear.
What some Westerners are only just beginning to understand is that the Western 'elites' have exactly the same sympathies towards them, as they do the global south.
For years, I’ve made the point that crimes empires commit against others penetrate inevitably back into the imperial homeland.
Who, if not the CIA, trained police in Guatemala and other Latin American republics? I don’t want to be seen as calloused by my countrymen in the US, but yes — the time to oppose the repressive measures now being introduced into the US was when we first started doing this abroad.
Now that these despicable tactics are used against us, people suddenly find it unconscionable.
Of course it counts as genocide and is illegal. Hamas should have known what Israel would do, if provoked. Now, the Hamas leadership definitely knows. But Hamas neither surrenders, nor changes its own genocidal strategy, exposed on 7 October 2023.

Well they’re going to learn.

How predictable. How convenient.
Would love your support ❤️

Nothing Hamas did on 10-7 was genocidal. Look up the definition of genocide.
Terrorism may not always qualify as genocide. Ask the Sudanese in Darfur, where the dividing line is.
