Is "Free Palestine" about freeing Palestine?


The above video is a must watch for anyone who cares about the middle East issue, especially (and ironically) for those who pretend so but have other priorities instead. It's also easy to fact check, therefore priceless. And a lesson to be learned: 

Don't question yourself "can all these people protesting be so wrong?" cause you are at the same time not only underestimating the power of propaganda but also paving its way to your brain.

Few months ago, nearly a million people protested here in Greece about a train accident that costed 57 souls. Even Greek students abroad protested about it. One guy put 2 trains on the same line, ignoring all alarms at his control center, resulting to a head on collision near a tunnel as there was no time for the drivers to react. At first glance one could say "hey, Greeks are sensitive in such cases and rightly so".

Is this precise?

I wish but don't allow myself to skip the facts despite how unflattering this might be: Few years ago, with a different party on power, more than 100 people lost their lives due to a fire North West from the center of Athens. How many people protested? Zero. 0. None. Double the victims, obvious mishandling from the authorities, no protests.

But here's another fact:

The stationmaster, the guy who actually sent those 57 people to their grave was not mentioned at all during all these protests and even today is not mentioned anywhere from the very few relatives of the victims who lead this "movement". Actually the "orchestrators" of those activities even had youngsters holding signs reading "the stationmaster is not to blame!".

How normal is that? A "movement of sensitivity" for this incredible train tragedy is clearing the number one person to blame while the vast majority of the relatives of those victims is not even participating. And even if some truly believe the guy in charge was not to blame can they have the nerve to say so before the trial while the relatives of the victims can see/hear them? Do the math...

A train tragedy in Greece is not comparable to the middle East issue, few things are comparable to it anyway but the way propaganda works is exactly the same, as if it comes from the same source (and it does). Focusing on facts and substantial details is what the guy in the above video does, leading to sound conclusions. On the opposite, propaganda wants you to stick on the "packaging" and not what's really inside. Because if you can have a look inside then you will know whether you have to buy the propaganda or not. Just like so many other products.

Time to unwrap the packaging. You're not the bleeding heart for any victim if you whitewash the N1 responsible for their loss, you can't pretend you care for "Palestinians" if you whitewash Hamas. You can't invent genocides where populations grow. You're not a pacifist if you burn the US flag. You're not an anti-racist if you hate Jews. Neither an antifascist. You're actually all that you pretend to fight against combined.
