Here’s some crucial background to the ongoing conflict in Palestine. 75 years ago, thousands of Palestinians were massacred, and entire communities were driven from their ancestral lands by the state of Israel. This catastrophe is directly linked to what’s happening today.

The Palestinians are again fighting for their lives, refusing to live in the prison known as Gaza, controlled and policed by Israel with Palestinians killed and maimed, unreported, day after day. Now their resistance, to which they have a right, is called ‘unprovoked’. Read on:

They’re Repeating The Word ‘Unprovoked’ Again, This Time In Defense Of Israel
We’re seeing the western political/media class bleating the word “unprovoked” in unison again, this time in reference to the massive multi-pronged operation launched by Hamas against Israel on Saturday morning which reportedly killed hundreds of Israelis.
“The United States unequivocally condemns the unprovoked attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israeli civilians,” reads a statement from the White House.
“The loss of life in Israel as a result of the violent, calculated and unprovoked attack by Hamas is heartbreaking,” reads a statement by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
“The unprovoked terror attack today and the murders of innocent Israeli citizens are a stark reminder of the brutality of Hamas and Iran-backed extremists,” reads a statement by congressman and house speaker contender Jim Jordan.
“This ignominious, unprovoked, and barbaric attack on Israel must be met with world condemnation and unequivocal support for the Jewish state’s right to self-defense,” tweeted presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy Jr.
“This is an ‘unprovoked attack on civilians’: Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg,” reads a recent Fox News report.
“Unprovoked aggression by Hamas terrorists,” reads a tweet by former secretary of state Mike Pompeo.
“I forcefully condemn these cowardly, horrifying, unprovoked attacks on Israel by Hamas,” tweeted congressman John Fetterman.
“These attacks by Hamas against Israel were heinous and unprovoked,” tweeted Senator Mark Kelly.
“As a steadfast supporter and ally of Israel, I unequivocally condemn the unprovoked and unprecedented terrorist attack launched by Hamas and stand with the people of Israel as it rightly defends itself,” tweeted congressman Richie Torres.
“The unprovoked attacks on Israel by Hamas through Gaza and via air and sea, are absolutely a terrorist attack,” tweeted Democratic Party pundit Ed Krassenstein.
“I unequivocally condemn Hamas’ horrific, unprovoked attacks and call on all parties to take steps to prevent civilian harm,” tweeted congresswoman Sara Jacobs.
I could cite many, many more examples, but I think that’s enough to make the point I’m trying to make. Isn’t it strange seeing the same oddly specific word choice inserted over and over and over again about the same event in statements by politicians and pundits, regardless of their political affiliation? When you lay them all out together it starts to sound highly suspicious, like someone always referring to his car as “my car, which I did not steal,” or always introducing his spouse as “my wife, whom I do not beat.”
It’s clear by now that whenever you see the word “unprovoked” being forcefully repeated in a uniform way across the entire political/media class, whatever they’re talking about was definitely massively provoked.
We saw this exact same thing when Russia invaded Ukraine; from the very beginning western politics and media were saturated with the word “unprovoked”, bashing the western public in the face with that message over and over and over again despite the obvious and undeniable fact that the war in Ukraine was most definitely provoked.
As Noam Chomsky quipped last year, “Of course, it was provoked. Otherwise, they wouldn’t refer to it all the time as an unprovoked invasion.”
And the same is of course true of the latest Hamas offensive. There are all kinds of arguments you could legitimately make about it, but one argument you definitely cannot defend is that it was unprovoked. As Palestinian-American writer and comedian Amer Zahr put it on Twitter, “75 years of ethnic cleansing. 15 years of blockade. Confiscation of Palestinian lands. Pogroms on Palestinian towns. Desecration of Palestinian sacred sites. Daily raids into Palestinian homes. Constant humiliation of a entire people. Nothing about today is ‘unprovoked.’”
Calling Palestinian violence against Israel “unprovoked” is easily even more ridiculous than calling the Russian invasion unprovoked, because the abuses of Israeli apartheid are so well-known by the general public at this point. Multiple mainstream human rights organizations have accused Israel of administering an abusive apartheid regime which treats Palestinians as lesser people. Palestinians who live in the open-air prison known as Gaza are deliberately subjected to undrinkable water, food shortages, energy shortages and bombing campaigns. Those outside Gaza are subjected to racist, violent policing and land seizure and live under a different set of laws than Jewish Israelis. The entire people were forced out of their homes to make way for a new state for reasons that had nothing to do with them, and any attempt to resist this has seen them killed as “terrorists”.
Of course the attack was provoked.
Isn’t it odd that the western political/media class would begin uniformly asserting something so easily disprovable? So transparently false? Why would they keep choosing over and over and over again in each instance to make use of that specific word “unprovoked” in their condemnations of the attacks by Hamas?
The answer is that this choice is not so much something they are saying as something they are doing. They’re not attempting to communicate with their audiences, they’re attempting to circumvent the critical thinking of their audience and trick them into accepting a blatant falsehood as true.
Skillful manipulators make frequent use of a cognitive bias known as the illusory truth effect, a glitch in the way human minds tend to operate which makes it hard for us to differentiate between the experience of hearing a well-evidenced fact and the experience of hearing something that they’ve heard repeated multiple times. If you want the public to believe something false you won’t be able to use facts and evidence to make your case to them, so what you can do is just repeat something over and over again until it starts sounding like the truth. Repeat the lie enough times and boom, you’ve perception-managed westerners into viewing the world from an understanding that Israel did nothing to provoke Palestinians into their actions.
After the news broke about the Hamas offensive I tweeted, “Here come days and days of western news media slyly reversing the aggressor-defender relationship and reporting as though the violence began with the Hamas offensive, spontaneously out of nowhere.”
But even I wasn’t expecting the perception management to be this brazen.

Israel is an American state in all but name, the United States has propped up the Israeli military and state machine for decades, Israel then acts as a regional bully for the US. In return the US turns a blind eye to its brutal treatment of the Palestinian people. Quid Pro Quo

The European Union, as promised, is showering Ukraine with gold. But there is a nuance. The head of diplomacy of the European Union (EU), Josep Borrell, said that recent events in the United States indicate the uncertainty of Washington’s funding of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to him, this increases the EU’s responsibility in this matter in the future. “In the short term, we will not be able to compensate for the lack of US support; we expect that our friends and allies will quickly find ways out of the impasse,” he said. Borrell also stressed that the total financial obligations of the European Union and member countries towards Kyiv amount to 82 billion euros. This includes 25 billion euros for military spending.

Israelis are “killed”.
Palestinians are “dead”.
In the Canadian media, the devaluation of Palestinian lives never stops. https://twitter.com/ctvmontreal/st
Notice the language. “70 killed in Israel, 198 dead in Gaza”. The language of dehumanisation. CTV Montreal does not recognise Palestinians as human, extremely concerning coming from Canada which has been embroiled in Nazi controversies so recently. Disturbing.

Why I don’t support Israel. Why should I support Israel if Israel supports Ukrainian Nazis and welcomes them into the Knesset? Israel is on the side of the United States and NATO in the war against Russia in Ukraine. Israel is bombing Syria and Palestine and, together with the United States, is threatening to strike Iran. Israel and the United States intend to unleash World War III in Ukraine and the Middle East. Many Jews from Russia and Belarus left for Israel. I sympathize with them. I sympathize with the civilians of Israel. But I have no sympathy for Israel and if this state disappears, the world will be safer.

The US response to every conflict is to try to escalate the violence, never encourage peace: The US military is sending an aircraft carrier and four destroyer warships near Israel. The US is also strengthening fighter aircraft squadrons in the region.

Politikoki
Besteak beste, Ilan Pappe historialariak berriki esan duena (“Estatu bakarraren irtenbidea hobea da arazoei aurre egiteko”):
“Palestinan estatu demokratiko eta sekular bakar baten alde zaude. Zein dira horren onurak?
Lehenik eta behin, irtenbide horrek soilik hartzen ditu kontuan palestinarren erdia osatzen duten bi talde: errefuxiatuak eta Israelen bizi diren palestinarrak. Errefuxiatuak gatazkaren muina dira, eta bide bat aurkitu behar da itzulera eskubidea bermatzeko. Bi estatuko irtenbideak ez du horretarako aukerarik eskaintzen. Bigarrenik, Israelek eraiki dituen kokalekuekin praktikoki ezinezkoa da estatu palestinar bat eraikitzea. Egia da, estatu bakarraren irtenbidea konplikatuago dela, eta denbora gehiago eskatuko duela, baina hobea da arazo nagusiei aurre egiteko. Errespetatzen eta ulertzen dut estatu nazional bat izatearen ideia. Hori bada gehiengoaren nahia posible da estatu bi-nazional bat edo estatu federatu bat, baina bi estatu ezinezkoa da. Kontua ez da muga non egongo den, baizik eta denok eskubide berberak izatea.”
Baita aspalditik eta orain dela gutxi ere, 2015ean, Noam Chosmky1 ere:
Aspalditik, 2009an, Warren Mosler: Mosler Palestinian Development Plan
“(…)
The Mosler plan empowers the government to provide public service jobs without limit to anyone willing and able to work in a region with devastating unemployment. By providing a means for the government to employ all the labor that is currently idle in the public sector until private sector demand for labor increases, a peaceful and prosperous environment is promoted. And throughout history a government that can provide full employment and prosperity has always commanded the respect of both its citizens and the world at large.
(…)
The Mosler plan presents a sound, practical means of advancing as a nation. It is a plan for an internally stable system that entails no foreign interference, no foreign debt, and no external finance. With a financially independent government able to establish and maintain full employment, the West Bank will reveal unprecedented economic power and prestige, while remaining far removed from financial burdens and instabilities that most emerging nations experience.”
