It's impossible to accept establishment media narratives on Israel-Palestine, Russia-Ukraine, and Syria without resorting to mind-bending levels of double-think.
Though for now I've only scanned this . You've explained and articulated for me what I've always felt and known , but have been unable to express . Like so many others I've been down so many rabbit holes , my brain gets fried and my heart broken into pieces . I'm flicking through three news channels , trying to make sense and process everything on the news today in the UK . I really appreciate you writing this piece and will read it later in my quiet time . I'm a night owl . One last thing I remember as a child in the 1960 's , watching the old Western movies . The Indians , (who I always used to feel really sad for ) used to say " white man speak in forked tounge " . The first time I heard reference to double speak and it's always stayed with me . Thank you 🙏😊
Nothing is ever black or white, right or wrong. It’s all nuanced, but humans are mostly lazy when it comes to complexity and prefer to believe in stereotypes. Governments use this tendency to control the message and skew it to align with their agendas. Ordinary people are always the losers in this game. “Same as it ever was.”
When Israel runs out of nearby potential enemies, and they have ruined everywhere they can claim is hiding Hamas, there is no reason why they shouldn't suspect anywhere except the weedy US and UK of being enemies - New Zealand, anyone? (have a look at my surname before you accuse me of anti-semitism - of course I am utterly opposed to modern-day Zionists, but that is not the same thing; and I like Palestinians, who are of course semitic.
Just one thing - I don't think Israel's invasion can be described as opportunistic - all planned. The timing of the 'ceasefire' in Lebanon with the HTS 'push' isn't coincidental.
After all, the US & co have been planning this for years (if not decades).
Sorry if I have miss understood, but "After all, the US & co have been planning this for years (if not decades)" reads reasonably clearly to me. I wonder if you could expand your point so I can better understand? All the best, sam
This is obvious to anybody who thinks for themselves,and ignores the total propaganda of Western media,we got told the "Greater Israel project" a Zionist wet dream, was an "antisemitic Conspiracy theory" yet he we are, years later, as it all unfolds before our eyes, its a land grab, pure and simple, using "security" as an excuse, it follows the same pattern all the time, there's a reason Israel exists, in one of the most Resource rich regions anywhere on the planet. And a reason the West back them to the hilt,even ignoring Genocide to do so..
None of this is simple or unambiguous, but a shorthand is to look at who is bombing hospitals (with a nice bonus for anyone claiming medical staff and patients are being used as "human shields" to justify their carnage. On your domain of discourse here, that would be the (former) Assad government, the Russians, and the Israelis, I think.
Never accept governnent narrative...They are the country's worst liars and deceivers.

This is a genius article. Conceptually it is something that is for a high end political science or international relations course of action.
Thank you for giving the truth a chance to be heard among the lies being shouted at us by media moguls.

And countries with any internal divisions have enemies invented for them, to unite those countries in "self-defence".

Hi Ali,
I am interested to know why you say this? What evidence is there for US, HTS and Israel planning this?
Cheers

Hi Sam,
I'd love to answer your question but since I didn't say that I can't.
Cheers

100% agreement from me
