For that, the world must stop spinning on its axis until this extremely egregious problem has been addressed.<\/p>\n<p>All the western spin and distortion around Israel\u2019s mass atrocities in Gaza these last six months have revolved around centering feelings over human lives. How western Jewish Zionists are feeling about pro-Palestine sentiments. How Joe Biden\u2019s feelings secretly feel about Netanyahu. How Israelis feel about October 7.<\/p>\n<p>Wherever there\u2019s an opportunity to focus the narrative on what feelings are being felt by a politically convenient population, the western press fall all over themselves to do so with tumescent enthusiasm. Wherever there\u2019s an opportunity to focus on Israeli atrocities, the western press are nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n<p>If you belong to a group that isn\u2019t supported by the western empire, you can see your entire family murdered right in front of you and the western political-media class still won\u2019t consider you a victim. If you belong to a group that the empire regards as human, then even someone offending your feelings will be viewed as an unforgivable hate crime.<\/p>\n<p>________________________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Caitlin-Johnstone.jpg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-236973\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Caitlin-Johnstone.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"56\" height=\"56\" \/><\/a>Caitlin Johnstone is a rogue journalist, poet, and utopia prepper<\/em>. <em>Contact: <\/em><a href=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/TRANSCEND\/T%20M%20S\/TO%20POST\/A%20BYLINES\/admin@caitlinjohnstone.com\">admin@caitlinjohnstone.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/caitlinjohnstone.com.au\/2024\/04\/23\/israel-is-turning-hospitals-into-mass-graves-while-the-west-fixates-on-antisemitism\/\" >Go to Original \u2013 caitlinjohnstone.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>23 Apr 2024 &#8211; The IDF are just attacking hospitals and mowing down civilians and trying to bury the evidence of their crimes, so naturally we\u2019re seeing the western political-media class focus very hard on the problem of antisemitism allegations on college campuses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":260652,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[225],"tags":[1668,2376,87,865,88,427,70],"class_list":["post-260636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spotlight","tag-antisemitism","tag-freedom-of-speech","tag-gaza","tag-genocide","tag-israel","tag-palestine","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260636"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260636\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":260655,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260636\/revisions\/260655"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
