The New York Times does ‘Debate’
March 21st, 2009 § 2 Comments
When Chomsky and Herman wrote Manufacturing Consent they posited ownership as one of the key filters that determines the output of the press. However, theirs was a strictly materialist interpretation of institutional relations. They did not, for example, say whether the ethnic component of ownership influences or constrains reporting in any way. If the New York Times and Washington Post propagandize so unabashedly for Israel (and, more importantly, against Palestinians), might their Jewish ownership (and largely Jewish editorial boards) partly explain this?
We do know that when the rabid anti-Arab/Muslim racist Martin Peretz bought The New Republic in the early ’70s, he purged everyone from the magazine who was deemed insufficiently committed to the Zionist cause. Phil Weiss from his own experience concludes that even non-Zionist Jewish publishers tend to get uncomfortable and muzzle reporters when it comes to Israel. And who can forget the smearing of Norman Finkelstein by the ‘progressives’ in The Progressive magazine.
So today, I notice that the New York Times has published what it bravely refers to as a ‘debate’ around the testimonies of Israeli soldiers confirming the Palestinian claims of atrocities carried out by the IOF. But since it is the New York Times, a debate, as always, means two supporters of Israeli actions competing with two even stronger supporters of Israeli actions. You need not bother with the rest, just the first two lines of each contribution should give you a sufficient idea of what this is all about.
First we have rightwing blogger Andrew Exum expatiating ‘about the morality of such seemingly “disproportionate” operations’. But questions of morality in warfare, he writes ‘are notoriously difficult to referee and inspire more emotion than sober thought’. Sarah Holewinski dismisses the idea altogether that ‘Rules of Engagement’ could prevent civilian casualties ‘unless the first rule is “don’t discharge your weapon”‘. Micah Zenki of the Council on Foreign Relations excuses the fact that ‘commanders granted permissive rules of engagement’ because of ‘the chaotic nature of offensive combat operations and the tactics employed by Hamas that often do not respect the laws of war’. Michael O’Hanlon of the Israel lobby’s Saban Center, a strong supporter of the Iraq war, finds that ‘Israel’s soldiers did not perform notably worse’ than Americans in Iraq or Afghanistan and in fact is happy to declare them ‘extremely careful by historical standards’.
As you can see, ladies and gentlemen, the debate was vigorous.
In 1907 NYT published a piece by Paul Warburg on monetary reform.It was the start of the Wall Street bankers’ hard-sell campaign to hijack the US banking system and currency.
By sponsoring Woodrow Wilson as next US President the Illuminati elite got their much coveted Federal Reserve Bank six years later in 1913.Adolf Ochs NYT proprietor was a key Wilson backer.
Less successful than the Federal Reserve sting was the NYT “Holocaust” campaign during WW1 to raise funds for the 6m Jews supposedly in danger of extinction in Eastern Europe.
The figure of 6m Jewish dead was reinvoked in the succeeding decades after WW2 with spectacular success.
The singularly progressive advance in Jewish power throughout the last century has ensured that Holocaust Denial is now a serious indictable offence in countries like Austria and Germany.
Thanks NYT!
Having been expelled from 47 countries in the past 1000 years it is time for our Jewish brethren to accept the fact that they are their own worst enemies – all they have to do is to realise when all else has failed – its time to read the instructions as set out in The Bible and the Qur’an – which explains the reason for the Historical Persecution of the Jews and their HOLOCAUST/s in Jeremiah 29:17-19:
“Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold I will send upon them the sword, the famine and the pestilence, and make them as vile figs that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. And I
shall persecute them with the sword, the famine and the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment,
and a hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them because they have not hearkened to my words…”
“…We aided you with wealth and children, and made you more numerous in man-power. Saying to you: “If you do well, you do it for the benefit
of your own souls, but if you do evil, you do so to its detriment.”
“So when the time for the second of Our punishments came to pass, We sent against you others from amongst Our servants, to ravage and disfigure your faces, and to enter the Temple even as they entered it the first time, and to lay waste, with utter destruction all that fell into their hands. It may be that your Lord will have mercy upon you, but if you return to your crimes, [Judah and Israel] We will revert to Our punishments: And We have made hell a prison for those who insolently reject belief.“ [Qur’an, Surah 17, Al-Isra’, verse 1- 8]
Having returned to Palestine against the orders given to them to wait in Diasporah – Notice of THE FINAL SOLUTION is contained in the following Warning mentioned in the Bible by Malachi in 4:1 “…and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave neither root nor branch.”
