Why the Israeli war hasn't stopped yet?
There are many reasons for that. First of all, the entire Israeli military machine failed until now to fulfill the missions which the political leadership (the government) imposed on. Secondly, the sponsor of this war, the USA also failed to achieve its target: to advance the New Middle East. And of course there are many more reasons for that. But I don’t want to talk about them right now. I would like to talk about the role of the Israeli media in the continuation of the war.
Israel succeeded to create 2 awful monsters: a military machine and a propaganda machine. I read the main 3 Israeli newspapers daily: Maa’riv, Yedeot Ahronot and Haaretz and I watch the news in Israeli channel 2 and 10. And I almost don’t find any news. I find a united group, a front, recruited and mobilized to incite and provoke war. I believe the other media like radio station, other newspapers and TV channels are the same. All of them play on one string and one tune: continue the war! Hit them hard! Use more power and more fire! Destroy all their villages! Kill Hassan Nasrallah! Kill Hezbollah.
In the 2 TV channel which I mentioned sits a group of so called experts, interpreters and reporters who think that they know everything, understand everything and make from their distorted ideas an absolute truth. Take for example Ehud Ya’ri the expert interpreter for Arab affairs from channel 2. He thinks that he knows even the dreams of all Arabs, leaders, children, Palestinians, Lebanese, refugees, etc. and he tells the Israeli audiences what he thinks and they believe him. Together with him sit many other pseudo experts like Aharon Barne’, Rnoy Daniel, Amnon Abramovitch, Yoram Benur, Gadi Sokanik, Moshe Nesbaum, and many others. The competitors from channel 10 are not better, enough to mention: Dan Margalit, London and Keshinbaum, Alon Ben David, Zvi Yehezkeli, and others. This beside their guests from the extreme right Knesset members, fascist academics and settlers who add their own diamonds and pearls. All of them are pushed by and stirred up with the idea which is rooted deep in the Zionist ideology that the Arabs understand only one language: the language of force. And they say who won’t come with force he will come with more force.
Almost for one month this group shouts with one voice: don’t stop the war. Use more power. Pound Hezbollah. Etc. etc.
The danger of this propaganda machine is enormous. Because most Israeli population take their news and information only from these sources. Therefore it’s not astonishing that the majority of the Israelis support the continuation of this war. The Israeli decision makers too are under the influence of this machine. This situation brings disasters on Palestinians, Lebanese but also on Israelis.
