We are now a year into the Israel government\u2019s military action devastating the people and infrastructure of Gaza and since expanded into escalating violence against countries including Lebanon and Iran. Yet, even today, United States Senate members are repeating flagrant lies produced in the war\u2019s early days to trick Americans and others around the world into supporting Israel\u2019s war.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On Monday, Republican US Senators introduced<\/a> a resolution repeating some of these old lies that helped build support among Americans for Israel\u2019s war \u2014 that \u201cHamas terrorists\u201d killed \u201capproximately 1,200 individuals\u201d in their October 7, 2023 attack and that Hamas used \u201crape as a weapon of war.\u201d Why repeat the lies? To support the resolution\u2019s conclusions, including that the Senate wants to \u201censure the forever survival of Israel.\u201d Left unsaid in the resolution is that the way the US government continually acts to purportedly achieve this goal includes shoveling more and more money, weapons, and intelligence to Israel for Israel to use in whatever way it chooses. Indeed, the US government\u2019s commitment seems unfazed no matter Israel\u2019s level of barbarity and no matter how much Israel\u2019s actions cause further geographic expansion of the war.<\/p>\n To the extent American politicians repeating these baseless claims regarding October 7 are doing so because they are ignorant about what happened, they would do well to watch a new documentary \u2014 Atrocity Inc.<\/a> \u2014 featuring reporter Max Blumenthal. Blumenthal was there from the beginning<\/a> calling no dice on the propaganda promoted by Israel and US politicians, along with American media, that has been used to gain public support for Israel\u2019s aggressive actions. The widespread rape allegations are ridiculous fabrications and a significant portion of the death toll is from the willful killing of Israelis by agents of their own government, Blumenthal explains in the documentary. Blumenthal also debunks other outrageous lies, including claims related to the killing of, and even beheading of, babies on October 7.<\/p>\n Senators, and everyone else, can watch the documentary here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Reprinted from the Ron Paul Institute<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
