The violent oppression inflicted upon the Palestinian people by Israeli Occupation forces and settlers is escalating, and the mainstream news media are failing to report it. The Israeli Army is increasingly complicit in its armed support for illegal settler land-grabs, agricultural sabotage and violence against Palestinian homes and schools.
Below can be seen just two daily reports which include the attack on the Jenin UN refugee camp in the Palestinian West Bank. UNRWA has four schools in the camp, as well as a health centre that attempts to provide infant and child care, immunisation, screening and medical treatment.
Why the silence?
Our Press, Radio and TV News, as well as our politicians, are ignoring the unimaginably cruel population-control being exercised by Zionist forces against the Palestinian people. The daily terror continues to go unnoticed and comment-free. The silence, enables the world to look away and provides valuable cover for Israel.
Read, below, the two reports and remember that they cover just two days out of many decades of relentless, selfish, ideologically-driven inhumanity:

Very true Leslie. Those who support the continued existence of the zionist entity- which was founded in order to perpetrate the genocide of the Palestinian people, and which has no other purpose- support every evil that it does, from simple torture and killing to the poisoning of the fertile Palestinian farmland that they claimed was ‘desert’ when they set their filthy feet upon it to invade.

Noam Chomsky – having spent his life seeking principled outcomes. Can we please listen to someone who appeals to the humanity left in our brains, at the end of our world. What is next for us all! Will the Israelis and their supporters, whether Jewish or no, press on to a repeat of WW2 callousness and hate? The result will be a poisoned chalice.

Thanks for that Leslie, and another reason why I only view Al Jazeera these days. They still churn out solid journalism with a fairly mild bias all things considered.
Leslie’s posting is so comprehensive it’s beyond our capacity to comprehend. A litany of such appalling evil made worse for the media’s collusion in it having corrupted the humanity of so many that they could be so callously dismissive, as so many of these notes show. As Voltaire said; “It is forbidden to kill, therefore all murders are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.”
