Absolute MUST watch by @MaxBlumenthal, laying down the carefully crafted steps of the Israeli propaganda machine in the past 12 months. While we’ve been living 12-months of Western Media complicity, it’s still shocking to see it succinctly summarized in this documentary.
Atrocity Inc: How Israel Sells The Destruction Of Gaza
Watch @MaxBlumenthal's new documentary takedown of the media deceptions and hoaxes Israel pushed to manufacture consent for its genocidal assault on Gaza

Dear leaders, #BeSoAshamed of your silence, #BeSoAshamed that you have seen the images and videos that we have all seen, but YOU still choose to be silent.

Israel has written one of the darkest pages in the history of genocide.
With the world looking elsewhere, the militarization of aid adds another layer to Israel’s deliberate imposition of genocidal conditions against Palestinians in the occupied Gaza Strip.
Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed and injured at or near aid distribution points since Israel’s weaponized “humanitarian” aid distribution system was imposed at the end of May.
Families are being forced into an impossible choice: die of hunger or die trying to get food. Seeking food should never be a death trap. Israel must end its genocide and lift the blockade now.

The language of manufacturing consent:
🇮🇱: Preemptive strikes
🇮🇷: Escalation
🇮🇱: Warns
🇮🇷: Threatens
🇮🇱: Targets
🇮🇷: Attacks
🇮🇱: Government
🇮🇷: Regime
🇮🇱: Right to self-defense
🇮🇷: Condemnations
🇮🇱: Sophisticated military (has nukes)
🇮🇷: Nuclear threat (has no nukes)

The BBC, our so-called public service broadcaster, removed Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone -a documentary daring to amplify the voices of Palestinian children.
It exposed Israel’s genocide. Not allegations; but documented realities
Why? Because it made the powerful uncomfortable

Nael Barghouti, who spent 45 years in Israeli prison and is the longest incarcerated political prisoner in the world, was released from Israeli prison last night after a long delay and has been deported to Egypt . His wife, who lives in Ramallah, was prevented from going to Egypt to meet him by the Israeli Authorities.
The attached photos show how he looked when he was first arrested and how he looks now.

BREAKING - According to @TheLancet, in the 1st year of Israel’s genocidal campaign, life expectancy in Gaza almost halved to 40.6 years, the lowest in the world. 14 years less than Afganistan and 16 less than Somalia.

The website I built contains an intro page explaining the project, a list of all the soldiers, a profile page for each soldier, a link to an important analysis article I wrote and a contact form where you can submit names I may have missed.

So what’s the plan? After making 2 million people homeless in Gaza, Israel’s just going to make 3 million more homeless in the West Bank?
And then what? The whole world’s just going to sit back again and let it happen? All the Gulf states are just going to keep pumping in the oil and gas? We can’t get a single country boycott out of Asia or Europe?
Yes I know America is largely responsible for facilitating this abomination but FFS does that really render every other country on earth totally useless?

There is a pattern here no one should ignore. Police across the West – the UK, Germany, France, Canada, Switzerland, the US – are locking people up, most especially journalists, for upsetting the feelings of those who support what the world's highest court has ruled is a plausible genocide.
Isn't that kind of democracy called a police state?
You can’t make this up. Initially the Montreal police accused me of harassing an anti-Palestinian media personality because I posted about Israel’s genocide. Now they are charging me for harassing the police for writing about the charges levelled against me.
At 9:30 AM tomorrow the Montreal police are set to arrest me. Today an officer told me they will detain me overnight or until I’m brought before a judge.
On Tuesday police investigator Crivello said they were charging me at the behest of anti-Palestinian activist Dahlia Kurtz. The police officer said I had described Kurtz as a “genocide” supporter and “fascist” on Twitter, which is true.
I promptly wrote about the charges and the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute organized an email letter campaign, which saw 2,500 outraged people call on the cops to drop the Kurtz-sponsored charges. Angry at receiving emails and my article — the police were seeking release conditions barring me from discussing the charges levelled against me — the police are now claiming I’m victimizing them. Today a new investigator called to say investigator Crivello feels threatened by my writing about the charges levelled against me. The Montreal police will be charging me with intimidation, harassment, harassing communication and “entrave” (interference) towards Crivello.
The police investigator also announced that they will be holding me overnight out of fear that I may “recidive” (relapse). In other words, I might once again write about the absurd charges levelled against me. Guilty as charged.
Over the past 24 hours I’ve received multiple messages about frivolous cases brought against others for opposing genocide. The abuse of police and legal system to target opponents of genocide is a greater problem than I realized.
I’m trying to make sense of Kurtz’s bizarre bid not to block me on X but claim I am harassing her. Perhaps she is trying to monetize her status as a victim of hate. On her site Kurtz writes: “If you want to help save Canada from hate and extremism please donate by e-transfer to: [email]. After years of working for media outlets, I am now independent, so I can say the truth. This also means my personal security is under constant threat. You can make a difference. My work is funded solely by your support.”
A lawyer is looking into pursuing legal action against Kurtz. But it’s the police that really need to be held accountable. The initial charges were an abuse of state authority and adding new charges for criticizing them is beyond absurd.
The Montreal police apparently have no qualms about acting in service of Israel’s slaughter in Gaza. More than 100,000 have been killed and almost everyone has been displaced. About 70% of buildings are destroyed and most agricultural land damaged.
The police targeting opposition to Israel’s crimes is an embarrassment. The particular charges are ridiculous. The notion that someone can publicly attack Palestinians, repeatedly call Canada’s prime minister an antisemite and a supporter of terror, engage a Conservative Party candidate as a lawyer to convince police to lay charges and authorities go along with it — simply incredible. Then for the police to claim they are being victimized by emails critical of the ridiculous charges — I’m at a loss for words. What parallel universe have we slipped into?
Please email the Montreal mayor and police chief to demand they drop the charges against Yves Engler.
If you are in Montréal some people will be accompanying me (9:30am, 980, rue Guy St.) when I will be detained by police
