Western Media on Ukraine and Ghaza

Ukraine

In the Western Media, the Ukraine are winning. The New York Times ran a letter from the Republican Senator J. D. Vance, saying the Ukraine are losing and the US are doing the Ukrainians a disservice by sending them $billions they use to send their men to die with no chance of winning. Almost all of the letters by subscribers in response to the Senator's letter denounced the Senator as a danger to democracy: the Ukraine are winning, but they will lose unless the US keep sending $100s of billions every year, and if the Ukraine lose, this will mean the US will have to go to war with Russia. Now the US are only funding the war, the Ukrainians are doing all the work. Some have died, of course, as happens in war, but not too many. NATO weapons have twice the range and much greater accuracy than Russian weapons, so the Ukrainians have been able to destroy the entire Russian military invading force, losing only a small fraction as many as the Russians, about 31,000 Ukrainians have died, compared to more than 300,000 Russians. Of course, Putin is drafting more young Russians to be forcibly shipped to the Ukraine to die, so the US must keep supporting the Ukraine with weapons and ammunition, and anyway, all the money ends up back in the US with our defence industry workers. If we stop the money, the Ukraine will lose, Putin will send the Red Army to attack the NATO countries in Europe, and Americans will have to go to Europe and do the dying instead of Ukrainians.

Hence, according to the New York Times and the overwhelming majority of their readers, the US Congress must do the right thing and get another $60 billion in matériel to the Ukraine ASAP. 

New York Times readers believe the New York Times coverage of the war in the Ukraine, so they're sure the Ukrainians are winning, Russia are on the brink of total defeat and the breakup of Russia from one large, militaristic threat to the US into 32 small countries, all disarmed and absolutely no threat. So all that money going to the Ukraine (well, not really money to the Ukraine, mostly matériel) is saving a lot of US lives (and providing a lot of well-paying jobs for Americans). The fact that the New York Times coverage of the war in the Ukraine has no relation to reality is something the Senator tried to tell them, but almost all the New York Times readers reject reality in favour of the New York Times depiction of what is happening in the Ukraine.

Ghaza

Lionel is a newscaster who goes just by "Lionel". He is  an antiZionist Jew, but he notes that he has many Zionist friends who used to watch MSNBC but now watch Fox. MSNBC isn't sure about what is happening in the Ghaza, and that upsets the staunch Zionists. They are liberals in most things and used to hate Fox, but now their Zionism trumps everything else.

Fox say that the starvation in Ghaza has nothing to do with Israel: Israel allow huge amounts of food into Ghaza, but Hamas take it all then sell most of it and use the money to buy weapons and leave the civilians to starve. Hamas have converted all the hospitals in the Ghaza into military bases, shooting rockets into Israel and killing Jews, since every single person in the Ghaza is taught from infancy to be a rabid antiSemite who must kill every last Jew. The Ghazan schoolbooks all teach that the only purpose in life for Palestinians is to kill as many Jews as they can. Mosques and churches are used as covers for Hamas military bases. Israel only targets Hamas terrorists, but the Hamas  terrorists keep themselves surrounded by human shields as they are shooting rockets into Israel and killing Jews, so, to protect the innocent Jews in Israel, the Israeli Occupation Force (IOF) have no choice but to bomb the rocket-launching facilities, which kills a few of the human shields Hamas keep inside the facility, but this is the only way the IOF can protect the innocent Jews living in Israel. Armies talk about collateral damage, the percentage of innocent civilians killed by their war against the enemy military. For the US, this is 70%. When the US bomb and kill, 70% were innocent civilians. For the IOF, this number is just 10%, so when the IOF kill, 90% of them were Hamas terrorists and only 10% were innocent civilians. This is the lowest amount of collateral damage of any military anywhere.

Fox note that the number of dead Ghazans is given by Hamas, who lie, so do not believe any of the numbers of dead Ghazans you read in the left-wing antiSemitic press. Do not believe that the IOF have killed more than 15,000 children. They consider everyone 19 years old or younger to be innocent children, when Hamas have 5 year old terrorists, armed and doing all they can to kill Jews, including the IOF soldiers trying to bring peace to Ghaza. We have no idea how many have actually been killed in Ghaza, since we have no independent sources other than Hamas, but Israel and Fox agree that almost all were Hamas terrorists, very few were innocent civilians. 

Fox say President Biden is a rabid antiSemite since he had the US abstain when the Security Council voted that Israel must give Hamas a ceasefire, allowing them to kill more Jews when the IOF is forced to stop pursuing the murderous Hamas terrorists firing rockets at Israel, so please elect someone who is not an antiSemite in November. The fact that Biden said the Security Council resolution was nonbinding wasn't enough, the US should have had the Security Council vote that the UN is behind Israel and supports the brave IOF attempt to protect Israel from the murderous antiSemites in Ghaza.

Even the Israeli press isn't as rabidly antiGhazan as Fox.

Other US news channels are all pro-Israel, but not nearly as much as Fox, and, according to Lionel, the Zionist Jews want 110% pro-Israel news coverage, so they watch Fox. Actually, one can toss in the Christian Zionists, who are also inclined to accept the Fox version of what is happening, but most of the Zionists Lionel knows are Jewish. The actual religion of Zionists is mostly Christian, not Jewish, because there are a lot more Christians than Jews, and some Christians have been preaching Zionism for at least 200 years that we have records of, starting with the British Rev. Keith who wrote in the early 19th century that the UK should send all the British Jews to Palestine, "A land without a people for a people without a land." (I figure, if he were still around, the Rev. Keith would watch Fox along with the BBC.)

The Fox version of the Israeli war on Ghaza has absolutely no connection to reality, but reality is not something the rabid Zionist, Jewish or Christian, wants to see or hear.
