Tweet on CNNs coverage of the Israeli conflict (Long Post)

CNN went 2 hours today without showing any video of Gaza destruction, and did not include a single non-Jew in studio for 1.5 hours. The network made sure everyone in studio was a committed Zionist.

Its coverage began with the ardently Zionist @jaketapper repeatedly branding the Hamas attacks of October 7 as "the greatest loss of life of the Jewish people since the Holocaust" – as though the Israeli soldiers who were killed inside military bases while maintaining the siege of Gaza had been defenseless prisoners in Birkenau.

@WolfBlitzer, a former staff researcher for AIPAC, appeared next to give a fawning interview to Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Herzog, who has declared the entire population of Gaza collectively responsible for Hamas' attacks, framed Israel's fight as "good versus evil."

Blitzer then tossed to @DanaBashCNN, the daughter of a rabbi and ex-wife of former CIA and Pentagon chief of staff Jeremy Bash, whose father was also a rabbi. Following the interview with Israel's president, Bash fluttered with emotion and delivered the mask-off moment: "The way that [Herzog] framed this as nothing more important that good versus evil was really telling, I thought."

Finally, after two hours of coverage uniformly echoing the Israeli government's hasbara, CNN featured its first non-Jewish in-studio personality. It was former DHS flack @juliettekayyem, a neoconservative Christian Arab who is raising her children Jewish with her Jewish husband. Kayyem previously advised the Israeli spyware firm, NSO Group, whose Pegasus malware has been used to spy on journalists and human rights activists around the world.

It needs to be acknowledged that CNN has handed its studio over to ideologically committed Zionists who have been raised to view Israel as their second country, and who are personally invested in Israel exacting blood vengeance on the population of Gaza, which they view with absolute contempt. They are weaponizing historical Jewish suffering to ensure political space for Israel to massacre Palestinian ghetto dwellers, and to enforce conformity to their hyper-sectarian line within the Beltway media. And it is clear that anyone inside the networks who questions this festival of unabashed Israeli militarism will face severe professional consequences.

Max is a self hating Jew who is sad that Hamas is getting pounded.

He is always driven by his anti-Americanism. Whoever hates America he supports.

I’m thinking watching CNN is inhumane torture in and of itself.

No offense but this is as interesting as water is wet or most other dog whistles.

Max Blumenthal has always been a very sick, demented self-hating nutbag. No surprise, since he is the son of the hot headed Democratic political operative and Hillary Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal.

He is far crazier than his crazy father and for some reason Tucker Carson is having him and his Muslim terrorist loving wife frequently in his show.

I admit I dont know the guy just thought it was interesting analysis

REMEMBER there is a lot of propaganda during war and networks are no different.

This stuff would never have been allowed on the old twitter by the way.

That makes a lot more sense.

I enjoy your posts and was somewhat baffled.

My bad.

He is far worse than a mere liberal. He loves and defends Stalin.

For starters, I’m pretty sure one can subtract off the Israeli soldiers and this was still the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust...

amaz Blumenthal, son of Sid Vicious:

Clinton Adviser Sid Blumenthal’s New Cause: His Son’s Anti-Israel Book [Flashback]
Buzz Feed ^ | 11/6/13 | Rosie Gray
Posted on 9/17/2016, 8:14:08 PM by SoFloFreeper

A veteran confidant of Hillary Clinton has waded into a bitter argument over the explosive topic of Israel, defending his son’s intensely anti-Israel book from a liberal critic.

Sidney Blumenthal, a former New Yorker writer turned Clinton adviser from the White House to the 2008 campaign, has been waging an online campaign against Nation columnist Eric Alterman for negatively reviewing his son Max Blumenthal’s book, Goliath. The book was described by Alterman, himself a frequent critic of Israel, as “awful” and something that “could have been published by the Hamas Book-of-the-Month Club (if it existed).”

Clinton Foundation officials refused to respond to questions of whether the elder Blumenthal is currently on a Clinton payroll.
