Pay attention to how the media lies to you and manufactures consent for war in real time.

Where do Israeli soldiers go after committing war crimes in Palestine? Increasingly, the answer is India. Around 80,000 Israelis โ€“ including many active and reserve IDF soldiers โ€“ go to India to detox and relax after carrying out crimes in Gaza. Certain towns, especially along the so-called โ€œHummus Trailโ€, are mobbed with Israelis, and are filled with cafรฉs serving what they call โ€œIsraeli food.โ€

Historically, India and Palestine had close relations, but India has been moving closer to Israel for decades. This process was sped up by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose Hindutva ideology closely aligns with that of Zionism. Today, India is by far the Israeli arms industryโ€™s largest customer. Mintpress explores this phenomenon.

Pay attention here: this kind of uber-passive language to describe a major war crime is not an accident. It's carefully constructed language aimed at manufacturing consent for Israeli atrocities.

Journalists are masters of the subtleties of the English language. They know exactly what they are doing. As a journalist, I know that we all think about the implications of every word we use.

They are doing this โ€” obfuscating the truth โ€” because they are committed to supporting the Israeli project.

This is an incredible chart from Al Jazeera.

It shows just how barbaric US foreign policy has been, bombing ten countries this century.

The United States is a nation addicted to war.

This is just one trick media use to manufacture consent for war.

This doesn't happen by accident. As journalists, we carefully consider the implications of every word we use.

We also know that editors and CEOs enforce top-down censorship on journalists, telling them exactly how to frame stories about war, and banning certain words from being used.

The New York Times, for example, told reporters not to use words such as "refugee camp", "genocide" or even "Palestine" when covering Israel's assault on Gaza.

Pay attention to the words media use; they're powerful.

Only 23% of American Voters Can Find Iran on a Map

A 2020 Morning Consult survey asked Americans to locate Iran on a world map. Only 23% could.

Even more shockingly, only 28% could find Iran on a map of the Middle East.

Many guessed in bizarre locations, such as Greenland, Australia and Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula.

The results are even more relevant today than they were when they were first published.

New article from me:

European nations are joining the United States and Israel in their war on Iran. From providing economic and diplomatic support, to supplying military assistance to Washington, Europe is moving from a passive supporter to an active participant in the campaign to overthrow the Iranian government.

New article from me:

A wide range of anonymous X (Twitter) users have reported that their real names are suddenly being Googled in Israel shortly after they began criticizing the country for its actions in Palestine. Some connected the phenomenon to Au10tix, the software X requires users (even anonymous ones) to use in order to verify their real identities.

Au10tix is an Israeli company founded and staffed by former Israeli spies from the elite Israeli military intelligence group Unit 8200. Let me fill you in on this disturbing phenomenon.

Here's another way how media manufacture consent for war.

Using the word "regime" immediately delegitimizes governments and subtly cues readers to oppose any entity it is used against.

That's why Cuba, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela, etc. are all called "regimes" but our friends, such as Israel, are never referred to as such.
