Colonial Justification

    An Israeli based news organization Haaretz, posted an article earlier this evening covering Donald Trumps recent rally in South Bend, Indiana. The article showed a strong bias for Trumps support of Israel and promptly explains that in his rally yesterday he openly expressed his support for the continuation of the construction of Israeli settlements on Palestinian lands in the West Bank. However it does well in reporting that Trump had an original agenda of keeping a neutral position on the conflict in Israel but explains that due to the close election ahead and high need for potential voters he is "singing a different tune" in attempts to attract the Jewish vote in America (Haaretz). Provided mild red tape and unknown author the article uses well put language, speaking in a tone that objectively covers Trumps support of Israel but doing it in a way that does appear to be right fourth propaganda because they quote Trumps heavily insane assertions saying that the Americans should condone the occupation of Palestine by Israel due to the fact that the U.S. has conducted missile attacks on Israel over the years of world policing in the Middle East. This completely undermines the genocide of Palestinians by making the occupation of their lands some kind of quazi-wartime reparation indebted to the Israelis. Below is a photo of Donald Trump billowing his attempt at acquiring more Jewish conservative votes while propagating the Grand Old Party's agenda.

Tough Love Palestine

    Under a month ago, an article published by the Guardian, another newspaper belonging to the United Kingdom, gives an alibi for the increasingly healthy and transparent economic relationship between Israel and the UK saying that the plight of the Palestinians is nothing compared to the revenue being made in the trade between the two economies. Going so far as to give advice to Palestinian commanders saying they shouldn't point fingers at Israel when they allowed the submission of terrorists who prevent the aid given the Palestinian Authority from ever reaching the right hands being those who know what to do with it for the betterment of all and those who need it the most. I found this assertion to be quite biased however it would appear that the writer would undoubtedly be heavy handed in his assertions against Palestine as he is the spokesperson for the Embassy of Israel in London, Yiftah Curiel. Below is a picture of Yiftah Curiel.
