Oct. 7, 2023, one year later

Since the lamestream media won't give you the facts? This roundup post is a callout post as well.

Let's start with NPR. No, Genocide Joe and Kamala is a Zionist Cop did NOT have tributes to all the victims. They had no tribute to Palestinian victims before or after Oct. 7. Neither did Dementia Don, of course.

The WSJ, before you hit the paywall, is honest enough to talk about divisions in Israel strong enough there were dueling ceremonies. US LSM won't discuss that, either.

At the Beeb, British mainstream media, they didn't talk about dueling memorials in Israel. They did cite the fatuousness of Genocide Joe and British Prime Minister Der Starmer:

Outside of Israel, President Biden joined other world leaders in condemning what he called the "unspeakable brutality" of the Hamas attacks a year ago.
He also expressed horror at the subsequent war, saying "far too many civilians had suffered, far too much".
Mourners also gathered at vigils around the world including in Australia, South Africa, Germany and the United States.
In the UK, Sir Keir Starmer told the House of Commons he supported Israel's right to defend itself. But Britain's prime minister insisted there was no military solution to the current crisis and appealed for all sides to "step back".

Without calling it fatuousness. Neither Genocide Joe nor Der Starmer will do anything beyond "appeals," the international political equivalent of #ThoughtsAndPrayers, the old Shitter hashtag, or #TotsAndPears as parodied by many of us secularists.

Indeed, as Axios notes (and this is not at all new) Biden and Harris have their thumbs on the scales. Dementia Don would do just the same.

The ZioNazi government of Bibi Netanyahu, meanwhile, is ignoring alleged divisions, and using the world shifting focus to Lebanon, to try to continue to grind Gaza to dust.

And, friends on Facebook who have voted outside the duopoly in the past still want me to vote for lesser evilism.

Meanwhile, Counterpunch talks about Oct. 7 leaning on lesser evilism Noam Chomsky with a chaser of sellout Ralph Nader. 

Oh, for you BlueAnon and MAGAts alike? Start by reading Ilan Pappe, "The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine," or another of his books. Then go to Shlomo Sand's "The Invention of the Jewish People." Before you even think about "going there," both are Jews inside Israel.
