That's a bit like when I accidentally told a girlfriend that I was veteran SAS soldier who had served in Afghanistan, had been awarded the George Cross for bravery, and was now a multi-millionaire businessman with an extraordinarily large penis. When I had actually worked in McDonalds for ten years, been awarded a second star to wear on my uniform, and I was receiving treatment for erectile dysfunction. It was an easy mistake to make.
Politicians and the military they support are usually built in a network of deception. Out together (?), they can be said to be the world’s oldest profession
Or indeed that time actual SAS patrols kept reporting that Afghan civilians had grenades hidden behind their curtains, hence the need to slaughter their whole families. Curtain grenades will get you if you're not trigger-happy.
Laura, you provide us with a respirator to prevent us inhaling the foetid fog of war; that bringer of contagion, that foul blanket over mind's eye; that soiled shroud through which truth must constantly battle to emerge. Another brilliantly piercing piece.
The Israelis lie because they're still so traumatised by events that occurred over 75 years ago that unfortunately, Palestinians, who had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with it but hey, it's payback time over and over again and somebody has to be punished ( but not Germans or Americans or British or French) so why not the Palestinians, they're close by which is handy and us civilised people don't give a flying fuck about Arabs anyway, so what's the problem?
The last post describes a famous incident when the Israelis attacked the King David Hotel, which was the British HQ, and killed 91.
The Israeli terrorist groups were later incorporated into the IDF, according to this article. And now Netanyahu appears to be aligning himself with the most radical elements of Israeli society.
Btw, I couldn't read the selected stories because the Global Research links aren't working. Not sure what's going on there, if they're being deliberately blocked. Wanted to read them!
To be fair to journalism, this is probably survivor bias. It's not that journalists all unquestioningly believe the IDF, just the ones who don't get droned
It defies intelligent reasoning, that the Israeli issue has been left to smoulder for decades.
From the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, every time Israel stole more of the Gazans lands, the world ignored their pleas for help. The the US, Europe, and pretty much everyone else swallowed the MSM narrative pushed by the above world leaders and their MSM stooges. Isn't that what you call someone paid to do a lie?
Laura, your confusion and concern for your judgment is understandable, fear not, I’m sure in this instance the IOF made an honest mistake. It’s not their fault, as Nicole says “all basement cables are Hamas cables”. Laid deliberately by Hamas to undermine our faith in Israeli propaganda, sorry I mean their Media Relations.
Perhaps our Prime Miniscule should ask his paymasters for permission to take this to the ICJ as proof of Hamas war crime.
From an American, this is reporting that only comes from the very best reporters, who most often are not from the networks or those so corupted by money they can't see anything but dollar signs, or the lack there of, if they actually tell the truth!
the IDF is under an intolerable pressure to kill as many as possible before the window of opportunity closes, therefore we can understand that their mistakes
Israel and the IDF will be fully prepared when it loses this war against Hamas, nay the Middle East. All this creative film editing and script writing will bring them millions by Hollywood sympathizers releasing Academy Award blockbusters telling the TRUE story of the latest genicide against poor Israel - now a sequel!
It's amazing what can be conjured up these days, what with tech and stuff like that. The world media don't know anything about that though and I'm sure don't indulge in such practices either. The atrocities of the IDF are off the scale, they seem to have carte blanche to do what they want, is that an 'army', are they 'soldiers' or something else...
Thanks for you honest reporting Laura, much appreciated.
I was thinking about this yesterday, hope it's ok to share. It's about dictators and it's brilliant.
The idf may wear a uniform but they are NOT SOLDIERS! Soldiers are not thugs or Murdering bastards ! Yes I understand that there are times when Women and Children are killed! Collateral damage? According to those in their ivory towers its just that! Sickening lack of empathy

A mere slip of the tongue! 😂
or five 🤣
Well, that might satisfy her, at least! 😁

Bwahahaha, thanks for putting some humor in a deadly serious matter. A little laughter once in awhile helps us cope. 🙏🏽
Yeah, hilarious 🙄
😁😂🤣😂
all basement cables are hamas cables x
Ridiculous! What about all the terror cables?

I thought so too, William, but then read these sources about the Israelis attacking the US and Britain:
USS Liberty --https://jamesperloff.net/remember-the-liberty/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
9/11 carried out by Mossad -- https://rumble.com/v3g58o1-lest-you-forget-the-talmudic-yahweh-chosen-rats-and-the-911.html
Now Israel is threatening London and Washington --https://francesleader.substack.com/p/dynamite-news-in-jerusalem-the-conference

As Chris Hedges has written, Israel is making choices that may very well lead to its demise as it takes an all or nothing approach to getting what it wants --https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-death-of-israel-a-talk-given
Yes and I can add to these, here's a couple on the USS Liberty I've published:
https://williambowles.info/2019/06/10/israels-attack-on-the-uss-liberty-selected-stories/
https://williambowles.info/2010/06/04/1967-uss-liberty-survivor-was-onboard-flotilla-ship/
Great, thanks for these.
It's certain that Israel deliberately attacked the Liberty in an attempt to drag the US into a direct confrontation with the Soviet Union. See:
https://williambowles.info/2003/10/15/with-friends-like-these-by-william-bowles/
Pretty damning information!
Btw, I couldn't read the selected stories because the Global Research links aren't working. Not sure what's going on there, if they're being deliberately blocked. Wanted to read them!
EZ, the link worked for me from here, try it again please, tho I can't vouch for all the links in the piece, sites go down, pieces moved...
Well said and Point ON William.

As Alexis Sayle said of the IDF in his Christmas message to the country, “The IDF lies … and it lies, and it lies, and it lies, and it lies”.
It defies intelligent reasoning, that the Israeli issue has been left to smoulder for decades.

What, the Isreali government lies? No way?!
there's a first time for everything x

That's probably why Nordstream was blown up! Israel told Biden it belonged to Hamas!

It was curious Hamas were always right beneath
the Palestinians. It illustrates the Israeli objective-
to kill all the Palestinians along with Hamas
Genocide to be sure.
the IDF is under an intolerable pressure to kill as many as possible before the window of opportunity closes, therefore we can understand that their mistakes
Israel and the IDF will be fully prepared when it loses this war against Hamas, nay the Middle East.

I wouldn’t doubt this : not one bit Q10.
I love your writing - thank you.
