Guest post: The realities
Originally a comment by Bruce Gorton on They.
They censor our speech. They undermine our governments with bribery and blackmail. They’ve captured our media, banks, and virtually all of academia.
According to Politico, pro-Palestinian content is much more widely available on social media than pro-Israel content.
Israel has a history of being the most actively condemned nation by the UN. In 2020, al Jazeera reported that Israel was 3 times more likely to be condemned by the UN than other nations.
Member States select people to represent them at United Nations meetings and conferences. The individuals selected present credentials to the UN to show that they are legitimate representatives of their country. The credentials are issued by the Head of State or Government or by the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
So our governments are simultaneously captured by Israel, and sending people to the UN who vote to condemn Israel. Suuure.
Meanwhile lets just ignore Dubai’s role as a destination for moneys stolen through corruption, and a host to Hamas’ leadership.
In Media, Owen Jones wouldn’t have a job if that was true, and so far as the universities are concerned, there has been way too much stated support for the mass rape and murder of Israelis and Jews in general for this to have any currency whatsoever. The backlash against these universities would not have happened if they had been “captured” the way the tweet alleges.
It is based on the acceptance of conspiracy theories, complete with the natural armoring of said theories. Every source that could possibly work to falsify the theory – well that’s obviously all been captured by the Zionists.
To the point where, to paraphrase Stephen Colbert, reality has an obvious and well known Zionist bias. I mean it is our governments, it is our universities, it is our social media, it is even our banks!
TLDR: I’m going to be on the side that isn’t peddling conspiracy theories straight out of Nazi Germany, thanks.
Well one, people like Bill Ackman refraining from cancelling people exercising their free speech rights would be a help (prosecuting actual vandalism would be different), and two the American government sides with Israel no matter what bad shit they opt to do. That counts a lot more than what the dozens of shithole countries decide to vote on at the UN (in any case one of the reasons Israel gets condemned so much is it is a really unique country, the other is a simple matter of the US Senate problem as applied to the UN, namely that a member state not on the security council has the same voting strength as any other).
The Hamas and Zionist boosters are just bloody annoying people who should get their heads out of their collective arses and act like adults.
