9/11 and the 'Middle East Crisis' What Really Happened

That time an Israeli settler told CBC, amidst an ongoing genocide, that the only way Gaza can be “full of life” is if Jews live there. Shocking to me how casually this supremacist vision of Palestine was aired, with no challenge, amid literal mass destruction in the background.

That time a settler said Israeli soldiers died because Israel showed “too much empathy,” and the CBC report simply moved on.

alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Western media can show the destruction of Gaza on screen and still frame it as “look what October 7 made Israel do.” The violence is visible, but the narrative keeps shifting responsibility back onto Palestinians.

The debate can’t stop at the Green Line, or a buffer zone. Decolonization means ending settler-colonial control across all of Palestine; not expelling people, but ending a system where one group rules everyone else.

000

alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

It's always fascinating how the Nakba gets narrated by western media: Palestinians were displaced “because of the war,” as if mass expulsion just happened around them. That framing turns dispossession into collateral damage and strips 1948 of its colonial context.

alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

A diplomatic solution is impossible while Palestinians’ right to exist is denied and resistance is treated only as something to eradicate. Violence doesn’t happen in a vacuum; power and casualty imbalances shape it.

000

alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

You can’t call coverage “balanced” by giving Palestinians a few seconds after presenting Israeli talking points as neutral fact. Balance means interrogating both sides; including the history that Palestine existed before Israel and that 1948 and 1967 didn’t start from nowhere.

Jewish communities have lived in traditional Palestine and across the region long before Israel ever existed. The issue is the settler colonial, apartheid political system that's built on the exclusive control of the land, not coexistence between people.

The “beheaded babies” story shows how unverified atrocity claims can be weaponized almost instantly to justify collective punishment. In emotionally charged moments, propaganda moves fastest when people stop asking whether the story is even true.

Western military intervention has repeatedly fueled resistance across the Middle East. Israel’s escalation after Oct. 7 risks doing the same; strengthening the movements it claims it can bomb away.

alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Both 9/11 and October 7 were framed as shocking intelligence failures, even though warning signs existed beforehand. When agencies already had pieces of the picture, “we never saw it coming” deserves much closer scrutiny.

000

alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

October 7th media coverage isolated Hamas’s hostage-taking from Israel’s mass detention of Palestinians. Thousands were already in Israeli prisons, many without charge, while military courts maintained near-total conviction rates. Context changes how the story was understood.

alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

If you consume news, know the biases you’re being fed. Seek out competing sources, compare how the same event is framed, and build your understanding from more than the Western media’s version of events.

alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

From Iraq and Afghanistan to Libya, Syria and then to Gaza, Western media keep selling the same story: erase the history, turn the West’s target into an existential threat, then make imperial violence look defensive. Resistance gets stripped of context so domination can pass as security.

alex.station @alexstation.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

October 7th showed how quickly media framing can become political reality. The attack was immediately presented through a War on Terror lens, narrowing the story to a single day while pushing occupation, blockade and Palestinian history out of view.

After watching my team lose Game 7 of the World Series in extra innings, I’ve become shamefully gleeful whenever I have the pleasure to see another baseball team and their fan base get its heart ripped out by the dumbest thing imaginable. That’s baseball. Better luck next year.

In Canada, hockey is statecraft: a ritual that manufactures national identity. Tonight, for the first time in generations, that machinery fully leaves the public broadcaster, and with that, the public interest.
