Palestinian Resistance Continues to Score Successes
Disinformation to Hide the Role of the People in Making History
Sana'a, Yemen, November 1, 2024
The Palestinian Resistance continues to score successes against the brutal attacks of the U.S./Zionist forces with the tremendous support of the Lebanese Resistance and that of Ansarallah in Yemen. It becomes increasingly clear when looking into the disinformation of the U.S., Britain, Canada and other countries how their covert operations are used to hide the crimes they are committing against humanity. They even go so far as to deny they are committing any crimes and instead call on everyone to question and doubt the Resistance as well as the decisions of the International Criminal Court (ICC), International Court of Justice (ICJ) and UN organizations. Most importantly, they completely deny the decisive role of the peoples in creating their own history.
In this regard, it is important to note that disinformation is not about lying or manufacturing consent per se. It is primarily about the information that is missing -– what is not said or even outright denied or misrepresented. The ICC just issued arrest warrants for war crimes for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and (the now dismissed) Defence Minister Yoav Gallant. The White House immediately "fundamentally rejected" the decision. Congresspeople said the ICC had no credibility and that the U.S. had "refuted the allegations" –- meaning Israel is not guilty of using starvation as a weapon of war, or the many other war crimes and crimes against humanity occurring daily. The crimes of the U.S., equally guilty of genocide, are completely ignored.
More importantly, when it comes to the disinformation spread by official circles in the U.S., Britain, and Canada, among others, and their media, both official and private, which are an integral part of state-disinformation, usually what is missing is the role of the people in making history. The heroic resistance fighters are to be dismissed as "terrorists." Decisions are to be made by the rulers alone, or as it was put at the recent U.S./NATO conference in Montreal, "the future belongs to us" where the "us" is the U.S., European powers and their adherents. In the world view of the Anglo-American imperialists and their partners in crime, the people simply do not exist. Accountability for the impunity of the rulers committing and supporting genocide, their crimes, does not exist.
The aim of the disinformation is to imbue the polity with an outlook that is complicit with the crimes the imperialists commit against humanity. It is to disrupt the resistance, deprive it of its legitimacy, and sow doubt about the fact that it is the peoples and their organized collective resistance that are the decisive factor in achieving success.
One
of the crucial tasks facing the peoples of Canada and the world is to
raise the level of political discourse to not permit the official
circles to eliminate the role of the people in making history. In
Canada and Quebec those who speak out in their own name, by discussing
what is pertinent
and what is not, can get at the heart of the matter and hold the
governments, their officials, cartel parties, official and private
media and pundits that spread disinformation to account.
By strengthening the resistance and defending the rights of all at home and abroad, the rulers' use of positions of power and privilege to act with impunity can be confronted with the irrefutable evidence which exposes their shameless coverups and their guilt for crimes against humanity.
