Re.: 8 Palestinians Killed, Media Mostly Silent
Yes, I have heard of several "investigations" by the IDF over the past
year. Most seem to be simply intentional bureaucratic befuddlement
slathered over with mock concern. The one that sticks uppermost in my
mind is the Jenin investigation. That process was the antithesis of
transparency.
The generic Investigation swallows up the specific incident in legal
pettifoggery, the details digested into the gross amnesia of the masses
inundated in a steady stream, a blur of hysterical factoids,
misinformation and propaganda:
"Yes, yes, there are always some Palestinians getting killed. It has
become one unfortunate, steady-state event with slight phase shifts.
It's too bad. Was it eight, or fourteen, again? Women and children,
again? Were they all suicide bombers, again? If not, they are all
*potential* suicide bombers! And, like Iraq by the USA, must be
defensively eliminated by the terrorized yet courageous, victimized but
determined David of Zion."
What utter balderdash. Then the same day the blob called Sharon was
feted in the White House, the head spook had the galls to wail, posing
as some Jeremiah, "They are coming after us!" He has no idea.
He should live in Gaza. He should be a tall Afghani. A gini should
change him into an scrawny infant shitting its guts out in Mesopotamia.
