It’s all wag the dog bullshit. Meanwhile the local NYC news media is gushing about *bRaVeRy* in awed, breathless tones. As if the pure outlandishness of the story weren’t a thing.

I went to the grand reopening of the African American Civil War museum this week and the timing is just right — its mission to preserve Black history is more relevant now than ever

Endlessly fascinating, the transparent mendacity of Israeli hasbara. “Why has self-deception become an indispensable tool in the trade of image-making, and why should it be worse, for the world as well as for the liar himself, if he is deceived by his own lies than if he merely deceives others?”
Teaching slide: 

Left:

The Modern Lie
Alexandre Koyré. The Political Function of the Modern Lie, 1943
"Never has there been so much lying as in our day. Never has lying been so shameless, so systematic, so unceasing."
Koyré 1.

"Why has self-deception become an indispensable tool in the trade of image-making, and why should it be worse, for the world as well as for the liar himself, if he is deceived by his own lies than if he merely deceives others? …

if the modern political lies are so big that they require a complete rearrangement of the whole factual texture - the making of another reality, as it were, into which they will fit without seam, crack, or fissure, exactly as the facts fitted into their own original context, what prevents these new stories, images, and non-facts from becoming an adequate substitute for reality and factuality?"

I've commented on this several times before, going back to the start of this genocide, but one of the most common defenses of Israel's genocide is that "nobody wants them, not even their neighbors." That's Nazi talk. Literally that is what the Nazis said about Jewish people.
