Hegemonic Western Colonialist Media Journalists Are Accessories to Israeli Mass Murder of Children


Since October 7, journalists of hegemonic Western colonialist media have made themselves accessories after and then before the fact of crimes against humanity ordered by the Israeli government and committed by Israeli military in their continuous mass murderous bombing and air strikes demolishing homes and entire cities of Israel's captive Palestinian population in Gaza - indiscriminately killing thousands of residents, 70% [1]of which are women and children. These journalists became accessories after the fact and then before the fact. How?


  • by playing up in headlines, coverage time, emphasis and repeating Israel propaganda of incomprehensible and outrageous accusations of horrific atrocities said to have been committed during Palestinian guerrillas' successful guerrilla attack on Oct. 7. The beheading of 40 babies, another roasted in an oven, carried out mass, systematic rapes, and cut a foetus from its mother's womb. All this obviously meant to justify continuous bombing and air striking of Gaza that has been taking 100 lives of children a day[2]


- by not publishing equal attention getting corrections of the outrageous atrocities afterward admitted to as untrue even by Israel's own media, leading Western media audiences to tend to condone the ultra massive bombing and air strikes on Gaza or to see them as somewhat justified or less condemnable. Letting go unreported efforts by the United Nations to investigate these claims being obstructed by Israel.[3]



- by avoiding the topic of the continuous killing and maiming of children in Gaza, and focusing all their audience's attention on the West's demand for the hostages release, rarely if ever, mentioning the some 7,000 [4] Palestinians held in Israeli prisons, and that hostages taken on Oct. 7, were taken to bargain the release of. Not reporting that far more Palestinians have been arrested since the October 7 attacks in Israel than have been released in the negotiated exchange. Among those being held are dozens of women and scores of children.

The majority have never been convicted of a crime, including more than 2,000 of them being held in administrative detention, in which the Israeli military detains a person without charge or trial.[4] All this is not newsworthy for Western media journalism.)


- by avoiding all mention of Israel's generations long brutal, and often murderous illegal military occupation of Palestinian lands, the very basic cause of the many years of deadly confrontation of which these past five months is only one episode, journalists of the Western entertainment/news conglomerates, have been apologists for Israel and Israeli intentions to maintain seeking more and more Palestinian land via present genocidal military action and illegal settler colonialism in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights.[5]


- by bringing the world public to accept an preposterous Israeli 'Declaration of War' on a group of Palestinians already for a long time part of an Israeli captive population under years of Israeli military occupation. (A UN condemned illegal and brutal occupation at that.)


- by not reporting that international law holds that 'The occupying power is to be held responsible for the well being of the population under its military occupation.' [Fourth Geneva Convention on International Law]) Western media journalists have deceptively managed selective information in order to have audiences not realise that the events on Oct. 7 occurred during a generations long ongoing war for Palestinian independence, and that Isreal's calling it a reason to declare a new war on its already militarily occupied Palestinians is fallacious.
