Hii, I’m going to the gym today after sharing my feeling about the occupying state of Israel assassinating Palestinian journalists in Gaza. Onto the news…
News that made me say I don’t pay for the bus
Two Palestinian journalists, Hamza Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya, were targeted and murdered by the occupying Israeli government in Gaza. I say targeted because a missile directly hit their vehicle. This wasn’t a mistake, this was an assassination. Israel has been murdering journalists to prevent them from telling the truth because they know the truth will show Israel for what it is, a genocidal state.
I still couldn’t believe it when I read that a government murdered two journalists with a missile and it’s not the only thing being talked about on CNN. I don’t watch CNN because it’s lies sandwiched between pharmaceutical commercials. Let’s be honest, all Western corporate news is lies sandwiched between pharmaceutical commercials. However, I’m assuming CNN isn’t talking about the assassination because none of the liberals are crying about it on twitter.
Remember when the journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered and his death was covered just as much as Taylor Swift’s tour? I couldn’t turn around without hearing how terrible it was that the dictator of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), murdered a journalist. Of course the then elected dictator of the so-called United States didn’t do anything about the murder because Trump probably looks up to MBS.
However, the Western media constantly questioned whether Trump would do something which is hilarious because Trump hates journalists. It’s like asking me if I’m going to do something when I see someone jumping the turnstile to not pay for the subway. Yeah, I’ll do something. I’ll cheer them on.
Once elected, Joe Crow, I mean Joe Biden, pretended to care about Khashoggi’s murder by placing a visa ban and sanctions on the people who killed Khashoggi. Of course Joe didn’t sanction MBS because mass murderers usually stick together. Genocide Joe isn’t even pretending to care about the obvious assassination of Hamza Dahdouh and Mustafa Thuraya. There will be no visa bans on the people who murdered these journalists. Those murderers will probably get a free trip to so-called NYC to train the NYPD.
One would think if the assassination of one journalist rightfully garnered so much outrage, the assassination of over one hundred journalists would lead to even more anger. One would think this if they are not familiar with colonizer calculus. Colonizer calculus says life only matters if it belongs to a colonizer or it doesn’t stand in the colonizer’s way to colonize. I have never taken colonizer calculus, unlike Joe Biden, but I’m starting to learn how it works.
The Western media which pretends to care about free press as much as I pretend I don’t know I’m supposed to pay for the bus is not even pretending to care about the assassination of journalists in Gaza. They are not asking about what consequences the government of Israel will face for murdering other journalists. These journalists are very well versed in colonizer journalism, which is a prerequisite to getting a job in any Western publication. Colonizer journalism 101 says the Palestinian journalists are not Western journalists' counterparts because Palestinian journalists make it harder for Western journalists to hide Israel’s crimes.
