Jeremy Loffredo’ arrest gives a glimpse into just how the hundreds of western journalists in Israel are complicit in Israel’s fake news operation.

Given that western media are so indoctrinated by the elites which control them it’s hard to get a clear picture of what is happening in the Middle East. Yet is it possible that most of what we see is staged and most of what is reported as fact is in fact lies just so as to allow Israel and the West to carry out its nefarious agenda beguiling the naïve western taxpayer into coughing up more for the industrial military complex?
The arrest and imprisonment of journalist Jeremy Loffredo was shocking and appalling on many levels. The young Grayzone journalist, a Jewish American, has been to Israel twice and made a number of reports on the atrocities committed by settlers and how the government uses them to stages protests at the Rafah crossing so it can justify blocking aid lorries to Gazans. But more recently he reported on the damage caused by Iran’s hypersonic missile attack on October 1st which Israel wanted to play down; in reality, the damage was much more than Israeli authorities wanted the world to know.
What is especially shocking about his arrest, was that it gives a glimpse into just how the hundreds of western journalists in Israel are complicit in Israel’s fake news operation. One would have thought that there would be scores of reports the following day from them on the damage but it would seem that they just took the word from IDF press people that there was nothing to report. And they were happy to comply. Just how much of what we are seeing is entirely manufactured consent? Is any of it even based vaguely on the truth?
Of course, the worn-out pretence of Biden that he is not part of the genocide in Gaza or the war in Lebanon has reached its expiry date. No one is buying it. America is not standing on the touchlines. It’s part of the war on every level.
But the war that it doesn’t want to be part of in any way is with Iran. The delay now in a response from Israel is not tactical. This is the time it takes for goons in uniform both from the IDF and the Pentagon to pour over maps and come up with a plan which works both for Biden and Netanyahu. Hitting the oil infrastructure is the dumbest idea of all as Biden has worked out that Iran will retaliate by attacking the same infrastructure in the GCC countries as well as sending even more rockets towards Israel’s military sites. Such a reaction could be a double whammy for Tehran as most westerners will be paying crippling prices at the pumps days before Harris goes for the Oval Office. It’s highly unlikely any plan will be agreed to by Biden and Netanyahu may well be happy to wait 5 weeks before he makes any final decision on an Iran strike. Both he and Biden may well be kidding themselves that the plan in Lebanon – to push Hezbollah up to the Litani river agreed in the U.S. resolution 1701 which the Lebanese group never fulfilled – is on course. And just as the Israelis wanted to install their own Christian white supremacist Leader in 1982 as president making it a sort of pseudo colony, history is repeating itself, complete with an admission by a Biden envoy.
In an interview on Lebanon’s LBC channel, Biden’s special envoy Amos Hochstein had a Freudian slip, saying: “Once WE elect, select, once Lebanon selects a new president,” pretty damning proof that the U.S. is trying to force Hezbollah out of government by installing a pro-U.S. president. Will we ever get even one decent insightful piece by an American journalist who can lift the lid on what the true plan is for Lebanon?
And what about the region and Israel’s intentions? Given that practically the entire western world has given them impunity on a grand scale, it shouldn’t surprise us if their ambitions are quite big. For Gaza, the killing continues and we are no longer shocked by who is slaughtered now in Jabalia camp where the wounded are just left where they drop and no aid or emergency healthcare workers can get it. Children, schools, hospitals. The price of Arab deaths is practically zero.
We should be very sceptical though about western reporting and who pops up with their views albeit incongruously. Tony Blair, not a man most associate with saving lives in the Middle East, has a plan, according to establishment arsewipe Politico. Blair is calling for an international force to police the Gaza strip once the Israelis have made in entirely inhabitable. Given Blair’s links to Israel though, extreme caution should be applied here. Is Israel preparing for some kind of western UN mandate in the Strip – in other words Americans running the show as they did in Afghanistan? The plan is always the same and has always been the same since two Camp David talks offered the Palestinians a peace deal. You can have all of Gaza, but give up your weapons. Or worse, is it that Blair has been given an offer of an obscene amount of money to take on the whole task himself, perhaps with the help of Eric Prince whose private army in waiting is poised to be parachuted into any country in the world where he sees big bucks? It can’t be out ruled as there is only one rule with Israel, which is never think you can’t be shocked again by its depravity. No one quite does depravity like Blair and Netanyau. The million tombstones bear witness to that.
