On a recent episode of his show, Shapiro told his audience that there are “tens of thousands of students all across the country” engaged in “pro-Hamas rallies”—a phrase that he deliberately repeats over and over. “An environment of antisemitism has clearly been created on campuses like Columbia University,” he says. In the video above, we juxtapose his claims against interviews with some of the protestors — many of them Jewish. Full article: https://decensored.news/ben-shapiro-campus-protestors-for-palestine/

Some more of Miller’s broken record talking points about the IDF murdering seven World Central Kitchen aid workers as Gaza starves: - Israel needs to “do better” - Insufficient “coordination” - Should have “set up the right channels” - “Bureaucratic obstacles” Once again this is carefully crafted “limited hangout” language, whereby he “criticizes” Israel in way that frames it all as a “mistake” or mismanagement From the State Dept press briefing on April 3, 2024.

Blinken admits that “a record number of humanitarian workers” have been killed “in this particular conflict” (in Gaza), but as usual his response to one of Israel's latest atrocities—the murder of 7 aid workers from World Central Kitchen—is to ask the genocidal Israeli regime to investigate itself, while the US continues to send them billions of dollars worth of bombs and fighter jets.

US State Department deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel refuses to say if they'll respect ICJ's decision tomorrow in South Africa's genocide case against Israel. “Doesn't that undermine the US insistence that OTHER countries ought to follow these court rulings?” “What does it leave of the ‘rules-based order’ if countries can pick & choose decisions?” This took place on Thursday, January 25.

24-year-old Palestinian photojournalist Motaz Azaiza won the TRT World Citizen Communicator Award on Friday in Istanbul, Turkey, but at least one important person was missing from the ceremony: Motaz Azaiza. That’s because, like millions of other Palestinians, he has been—and remains—trapped under an intense, genocidal bombardment at the hands of the US-funded Israeli military for over a hundred days and counting. Nevertheless, he was able to pre-record an acceptance speech in a car in Gaza, which was played for the audience after a short video montage.

In November of 1989, Wolf Blitzer appeared on a panel at the University of Pennsylvania alongside Norman Finkelstein. The topic of discussion: Israel. Asked whether “the Palestinians, too, have the right to a secure homeland,” Blitzer sidesteps the question and calls opposition to Zionism “racist.” Finkelstein, a Jewish political scientist, pushes back.

International human rights lawyer Craig Mokhiber criticized the UN Security Council’s newly-passed Gaza aid resolution today, saying that to call it “watered down” is a “kind” characterization. It was, to put it more accurately, “hollowed out” overnight by the US, UAE, and Israel prior to today’s vote, he said, after “delaying a vote on an earlier draft resolution for over a week.” “The US has engaged in a lot of what i’ve called fig leaf harvesting,” he said. “And this is another fig leaf that allows them to avoid domestic and global condemnation for its complicity in the genocide.” Source: Electronic Intifada live stream, 22 Dec 2023 Full story here: https://decensored.news/mokhiber-un-security-council-resolution/ Follow Decensored News for more: https://linktr.ee/decensorednews
