Ministry of Truth spin on Israel
Advertisements [?]
The Ministry of Truth's (with the flagship Faux network leading the way) spin, with O'Reilly and a few others overtly saying it, and "reporters" implictly saying it, is the following (this applies at all times, not just the current crisis): Israel is a "good guy"; the Palestinians and other Arabs are the "bad guys." Israel wants peace and is just defending itself. Israel is our friend. We must support our friend. Israel is a democracy like us. We should always support a democracy in the Middle East.

The right-wing, Faux and co. spin is the worst but the rest of the MSM is only slightly more nuanced. I am not even going to get into the glaring holes in that spin. The propaganda is what is the most stunning to me. How can such a complex conflict be simplified to such a stunning degree??? 1984 is here, only they were more clever about it in 1984...
