Israel, Amereica and Nuclear War

 
We talk a lot here about slanted American journalism and how it contributes to the slippery slope of disaster down which the world is sliding; and I note this pattern can be seen in the American news coverage of Israel's current incursion into northern Gaza.
 
What little reporting there will be as this world-endangering event proceeds, American journalism's reporting will be demonstrably trimmed and slanted in favor of Israel, which is just how it is and how it has been since the founding of modern Israel in 1949.
 
The story of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a victim-victim story.  Here is an over-simplified version.
 
After the horrors of Nazi Germany the Jews were given a homeland in Palestine, a homeland to be located on land owned and occupied by the Palestinians.  Conflict was inevitable, and conflict has been continuous since the day modern Israel was established.
 
In America, the sentimental favorite in this victim-victim story has always been Israel, and soon Israel became the Good Guy and the Palestinians became the Bad Guy in the mass American mind.
 
This concept was nailed down in such scenes as in the 1960 movie Exodus, when the beautiful young blonde Jewish girl met her death at the hands of the hideous Palestinian dirty old man.
 
This constant prejudice constituted an unending injustice against the Palestinians; and I suggest it has always been either by personality or by policy the practice of the Israelis to irritate and aggravate that injustice, the Palestinians being, in fact, the Niggers of the Israelis.
 
So, as the American news media reports the Israeli incursion into Gaza, the history of this event will be reduced to the capturing of an Israeli soldier last week, and the murder of a young Israeli civilian, and expanded to some degree to Israel's capture of over 60 members of the elected Palestinian government, including the foreign minister, which the United States and Israel have been attempting to starve out of existence in order to force, once and for all, the Palestinians to accept the theft of their homeland.
 
I suggest, Dear Reader, this is demanding the impossible of the Palestinians.
 
Here are some of the aspects of this incursion which we can expect American journalism to trim and slant.
 
It will tend to censor the fact that Israel's strategy with the Palestinians has always been one of irritating them into action, that Israel is a big tit in the tit for tat conflict between the two peoples, not the saintly victim it portrays itself to be.
 
It will tend to ignore Israel's killings of Palestinian civilians in northern Gaza last week, killings which were an intentional irritation meant to create a Palestinian response serious enough to bring on this incursion.
 
The American press will likely underplay the fact that this Israeli move has included Israeli military aircraft buzzing the residence of the president of Syria, which was an act of war (called an act of warning) against Syria.
 
To see this provocative insult for what it was, consider "North" Korean military aircraft buzzing the White House, and assign to "North" Korea military and nuclear superiority over the United States, giving "North" Korea the 7,000 nuclear warheads the US owns and the US the half dozen or so "North" Korea allegedly has.
 
Likely also to be underreported is that Israel has made northern Gaza broadly uninhabitable by knocking out its electricity production capability, meaning no water, no refrigeration, no air conditioning in the summer desert, with the added benefit of a news blackout with all but battery powered television and radio lost, in effect forcing a mass evacuation or requiring a historic international aide attempt, one that almost certainly will not come because the Israelis are the Good Guy and the Palestinians are the Bad Guy.
 
The American news media will also likely ignore that since America is Israel's drone ally, attached to Israeli actions much as a water skier is attached to the boat pulling him, this current Israeli action, brilliant and ruthless as Israeli military actions tend to be, will create a situation into which America will likely be towed into the waters of the larger war Israel is now in the act of intentionally triggering.
 
This intentional triggering of a great war reflects Israel's grand strategy, and while America is a willing co-strategizer, it is also a victim, because Israel will betray America in the end.
 
Also not to be reported in the American media is that the religious perversity of Republican American Fascism leads to the triggering of a faux-Armageddon right smack in and around Israel, just where its fundamentalist Christian base believes the true Armageddon will erupt.
 
I suggest this current development might well have been noted among the possible scenarios in yesterday's report, "Sudden Collapse"; meaning the sudden collapse of any possibility that anything but area-wide war is possible in the Middle East, leading to nuclear World War Three, leading to the sudden collapse of human civilization.
