Hamas supporters went on a rampage in Switzerland, but the media are silent
American Thinker ^ | 25 May, 2025 | Andrea Widburg

There seems to have been a full-scale war mob attack there, including an attempt to get to the U.S. Embassy, but no one outside of social media is covering it.

We’re all familiar with the old philosophical question asking, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” In other words, do things actually happen if we don’t notice them? For infants, they don’t, which is why peek-a-boo is such a fun game. If they don’t see you, you’re gone, making your visual return magical.

But does the same principle apply to world events? What if there’s a massive pro-Hamas rally in Switzerland, followed by a violent attack on a synagogue and the U.S. Embassy, but no American media news outlet covers it? Did it happen? Does it matter?

If you go to the mainstream media, the only recent “newsy” Switzerland headline is that the State Department issued a warning about travel to Switzerland:

The United States Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs has issued a Level 1 Travel Advisory for the country of Switzerland. The agency did not provide any immediate cause on why the travel advisory was published on May 20, but it says to “exercise normal precautions in Switzerland.”

There have been recent protests and demonstrations during the recent Eurovision Song Contest, according to a report from French news outlet France 24. However, it is not confirmed that these protests prompted the United States to publish the travel advisory.

The agency does; however, link to a detailed security report, which spotlights recent protests and a medium crime threat in the city of Geneva.

Recent protests? I don’t see anything about protests in the MSM.

Not surprising that the MSM does not want to make HAMAS supporters look bad.

War with Islam.
Not if, but when.

Usually, the purpose of a protest is to make the news.

This was a large “protest”.

My wife and daughter took a trip to Switzerland and were surprised by how visible the Islamists were.

She said it was not unusual to be shopping, and the clerk would tell the Islamists to get out of the store, they had nothing for them.

They do plan to take over the world.....and as they have demonstrated over and over, they have no problem using violence to do so.

Japan doesn’t have a muslim problem because the Japanese government deliberately controls how many muslims are allowed into the country.

You can’t say that muzzloids are violent or else they’ll kill you.

Jihad continues apace. The recent worldwide advances of Islam are unprecedented in their history.

It’s no different than the run up to WW2.

The media gave cover to the Jew haters until the only solution was global war.

My only question is if their primary motive is to kill Jews or cause a global war.

I suspect they view a global war as an opportunity for power and profit and the Jews are just collateral damage, but you never know.

As with jihad, communism, weird sex, etc., the press simply are on the other side - against God and His civilization.

Switzerland has joined the Western European plunge into neo pagan, hedonistic decadence. They have opened their borders. Now the consequences of their cherished “neutralism”, which is a moral absurdity, are apparent. Let’s never forget that during WW II the Swiss sold the Germans armaments and other goods as long as the Germans had the gold to pay for it. Also the Swiss with their bank secrecy laws gave a safe haven and laundered the loot of the world’s thugs and dictators.

NO and NO.

Msm did not mention it, therefore it doesn't count as news.

The msm didn't explicitly tell us about slow joes mental failures, therefore it doesn't count.

The symbol of the USA is the Eagle.

The symbol of Europe is the Ostrich.
