Unmasking Media Tactics: The Disturbing Trend of ‘Do You Condemn Hamas?’ in Interviews

Demanding Evidence is Not Sympathy, It’s Sensible Inquiry.

It has been extremely telling that all mainstream Western news broadcasters have gone into every interview asking first and foremost of any person supporting peace and calling for the end of genocide of Gaza – “Do you condemn Hamas?” But when asked for evidence of what they are meant to be condemning them for, these same pundit charlatans act aghast as if they’ve committed a huge crime and are now ‘terrorist sympathisers’. A terrorist sympathiser…for asking for evidence?

What these interviewees are really saying is, “Show me what I am meant to be condemning, so I can condemn it. How can I condemn blindly? How can I condemn from the narrative of the IDF who is ethnically cleansing? How can I take the word of Biden who claimed to see a photo of 40 beheaded babies which his White House later had to admit did not exist? Show me the evidence and I will condemn all that is condemnable with the uttermost condemnation!”

But the evidence is never produced and people are attacked for not following the narrative of those who have proven, time and time again, to have lied.

The is all premised on the belief that the Western powers supporting the massacre and genocide are telling the truth – even when the President of the US, the biggest purveyor of terror in history, had to admit within the twists of words that he was lying. There were no beheaded babies and no substantiated accounts of any rape. To parrot the line and then engage in whataboutery throwing scorn onto people who do not accept the line without evidence – is the absolute pinnacle of the epitomisation of Western Empire brainwashing. Without a scintilla of evidence; and armed only with words from demonstrable liars – they launch an attack.

It is also no surprise that the majority of those promoting Palestinian rights are non-white. The prevailing attitude in the Western colonial empire is that brown and black people must accept the white power narrative and do not have the same rights to demand evidence as others do. You don’t have to take my word for it: tampered ‘evidence’ is enough to convict a black man but for a white man, they need a cold, hard body.

It’s a huge testament to the Western Empire and the mythical aura they have placed around the incorruptibility of their utterly corrupt institutions that even when they are shown to be unequivocally and categorically lying – people still follow their narrative and assume the rest of what they say is true. One lie is enough to expose the liar – but in the great halls of the White House and 10 Downing Street, a thousand lies is not enough.

Let’s look at the facts of what has happened:

1) We have been told Hamas did a terrorist act. When asked for evidence, the Western propaganda machine cited things like ‘40 beheaded babies’. The words from already demonstrable and proven liars were told to us to be true, so much so that the first question all interviewers asked every pro-Palestine interviewee on the Western mainstream news channels was “do you condemn Hamas”. It was quick to be asked and was an ambush. It meant simply – you must agree with us immediately and subjugate yourself to our narrative. The interesting thing being that the things cited – such as the ‘beheaded babies’ were proven to be untrue. Yet, still they touted on that Hamas must be wrong, and you must declare condemnation even though we, who are asking you to do so, have shown ourselves to have been lying. This is gaslighting to the extreme.

2) No evidence was provided of this attack being on civilians and thus a terrorist attack. Palestinians have a right to defend themselves under international law and if they are in an open air concentration camp, they have a right to break out and attack the guards. Israel knows this, so they lied and said the Palestinians went for civilians, when all evidence points to the fact that it was a pre-planned attack on military targets. Even tactically, this doesn’t make sense, but all brown people who fight against oppression – particularly Muslims – are given various labels under the umbrella of. ‘terrorism’, delegitimising their resistance from the get-go. Don’t forget, Mandela was a terrorist and imprisoned by the same Western Empire. He only became a freedom fighter when they decided it would be useful to Western colonial interests to relabel him.

3) So, we had to condemn this “attack” without knowing anything about it – and we had to accept the narrative of the people telling us that these brown people resisting were terrorists, despite the fact that the people concocting the narrative were already shown to have lied about their narrative and further, provided no evidence at all for the rest of their narrative. And of course, in the meantime they were committing huge acts of terror on the people of Gaza – but their labels of ‘state’ and ‘democracy’ mean they can kill who they want and engage in terrorism ad hoc and at whim.

4) It has now emerged unequivocally by the Israeli’s own IDF sources that: Hamas targeted military – not civilian – targets. International law allows the oppressed to resist and military targets of those brutalised in an open-air concentration camp are legitimate targets. Further, the IDF have admitted to calling for helicopters to bomb themselves including the nearby concert – indiscriminately! The Israelis aren’t even hiding this fact by the way. They’ve massaged their numbers down already saying – admitting that the number of dead were not 1,400, but less and yes, mostly Israeli military personnel. The names of the dead have their army titles for Goodness sake. Eyewitnesses –Israeli eyewitnesses – confirm it was the fire and bombs of their own army that took their own people’s lives.

5) The irony of all this is that by taking Israeli hostages and treating them very well as the hostages have admitted themselves, probably saved their lives from their own maniacal armed forces. Don’t forget though – the Hannibal Directive. This means the Israeli government would rather kill their own people than release the Palestinain kids they’ve literally taken off the street for no reason, shoved in prisons with no trial, traumatised and brutalised. Out of interest, what would you do if a psychopathic genocidal state took your kid and did that, while keeping you in a concentration camp? I’m just wondering what the options are for when tyrants do this – because the word on the Westminster streets is that if you try and get your kid back, you’re a terrorist and a Jew-hater.

6) Just to conclude: Israel and its cronies have unequivocally lied.

This is not in support of “Hamas” or whatever label the brown people fighting against their own extermination as “human animals” are being pasted with today. It’s simply about facts and truth – and evidence. Your lord and masters have not told you the truth and quite frankly, never will. So, why are you touting their lines when the evidence shows they are lying?

Our lords and masters in our great Western democracies never say the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves. It is telling – the brown people of the world only have the right to be oppressed, brutalised, tyrannised and terrorised and should they try to resist, they are “human animals” and labelled with the word terrorist. The Israeli government ministers say openly there are no innocents in Gaza. An area of which half the population are children – are all terrorists to the West. That’s all they are when they ask to be treated with dignity and some semblance of a human life.

A further point – Hamas was only labelled a “terrorist” group by the UK two years ago. Conveniently in time for today’s pogrom and to delegitimise all resistance to extermination and ethnic cleansing. Weird that isn’t it? Words matter – they suck us right in until we are so blinded by them we do not see what is in front of our own damn eyes – the bombing of kids and the starvation of an entire people while pulling the plugs out of babies’ incubators. That’s the truth and that’s what the evidence shows.

So, what exactly are we asked to condemn Hamas for?

• Beheaded babies? Completely false
• Rape of women? Curently unsubstantiated
• Pre-planned targeting of civillians? False
• Being brown? True
• Fighting military targets of an oppressor force? True
• Breaking out of a concentration camp and resisting oppression? True
• Being Muslim? True

Let’s be honest – in the Western Empire – the last 4 are the greatest crimes.
