Western mainstream messaging has fabricated the Big Lie that somehow the Western-supported Zionist holocaust of Palestinian civilians is justified because Apartheid Israel is a victim and Hamas has Israeli hostages.
Not surprisingly, this propaganda is yet another example of “Israel’s accusations being its confessions”, another example of Empire’s proxy (Apartheid Israel) projecting its own criminality onto its prey (Palestinian civilians).
Consider this data from Western sources.
According to the Associated Press (7/31/24) and the Wall Street Journal (7/25/24) Israel detains 9,400 hostages while Hamas detains 111 hostages.
.
.
Meanwhile, data from the Israeli Prison Service, identifies 3,661 administrative detainees (Palestinian hostages) versus 132 hostages held by Hamas. (1)
.
.
The obliteration of context in these matters of war and peace is confirmed by Exeter University PHD candidate Zarefah Baroud who notes that,
“since far before October 7th, since 1967 to be exact, Israel has arrested and detained over 800,000 Palestinians, about 20% of the total Palestinian population in the occupied territories, and 40% of all Palestinian men.
Those who weren’t detained administratively were charged in the sham that is the Israeli military court system, which produces a conviction rate of 99.7%. For the occupation, imprisonment has always served as a primary tactic in the thwarting of resistance. ” (2)
Western mainstream’s obliteration of context deforms reality and serves to advance the current Western-supported Zionist holocaust against Palestinian civilians.
