Bullshittery 101

manonanai5.bsky.social @manonanai5.bsky.social · 1d

The mainstream Western media are so culpable. Flicking matches into the trash globally.

Exactly, label a genocide a war and this is the result. Sickening spin in a sea of human rights abuses.

Netanyahu's mouthpiece, Amit Segal, casually admits on Twitter that his country has been holding 1,700 people from Gaza hostage, including children.

Among other things, according to the decision:

- 250 security prisoners will be released.
- 1,700 residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre will be released.
- 22 minors under the age of 18, residents of the Gaza Strip who were not involved in the events of October 7 and were arrested after the massacre, will be released.
- 360 bodies of terrorists will be returned.

Doesn’t fit the convenient narrative that #warcriminalnetanyahu sprayed

Simon Rosenberg @simonrosenberg.bsky.social · 1d

The western media always refers to “the hostages” as those held by Hamas.

Apparently they are too lazy to access the readily available evidence,
or so imbued with an attitude of dehumanising and ignoring Palestinians (aka racism),
that they rarely mention the hundreds of hostages held by Israel.

Witkoff and Kushner were conveniently at the negotiating table and today (surprise!) are discussing the ‘Gaza rebuild’ with ‼️ spoiler alert ‼️ the Israeli government

New:
Censorship by any other name.
The National Press Club cancelled a speaker, Chris Hedges, who planned to address the mass killing of journalists in Gaza. The mainstream press didn’t report it.

I think more people should study digital-age media manipulation and information warfare tactics and apply them to their acts of resistance instead of relying on stale, sometimes centuries old, ideas of what protest and resistance should look like.

The hate crime charge against Alexa Wilkinson for photographing vandalism of the New York Times building is a dangerous precedent, no matter what you think of Wilkinson.

Journalist or not, photography isn’t a hate crime

Gatekeeping over hate crime charges misses the forest for the trees

Pathetic is the perfect word for the lack of empathy and action from the Australian Government throughout #gazagenocide

‘Deeply concerned’ is the Australian equivalent of ‘thoughts and prayers’

So ashamed of our nation.

Simon Rosenberg @simonrosenberg.bsky.social · 10d

Six Australians.

And all we have so far from the Australian govt is the same form of words they've used throughout the #GazaGenocide,
as a pathetic substitute for acting on their international legal obligations:

"deeply concerned". #auspol

Today, the ABC reports that a top statistician quit a study into whether Woodside’s North West Shelf gas plant was destroying the Murujuga rock art after the WA govt misrepresented his team’s key finding.

“Someone who had a key role is saying what we've long known. WA govt misrepresented the facts"

Don't believe the spin. Pollution from the gas export plant is destroying the ancient Murujuga rock art.
