JOHNSTONE October 24: We're The Terrorists - Paperback

by Timothy P. Foley (Author), Caitlin Johnstone (Author)

The nightmare in Gaza and Lebanon continues to unfold, all justified by the narrative that Israel is fighting "terrorists".

Who are the terrorists, you might ask? Why, the terrorists are groups which have been designated as such by the very governments who are supplying the bombs. "Terrorist organization" is a completely arbitrary designation which is used as a tool of western narrative control to justify war and militarism. In effect it just means "disobedient population who need bombs dropped on them".

Israel is burning people alive in Gaza. An open letter to President Biden from 99 US healthcare workers who volunteered in Gaza contains a quote from Dr Mark Perlmutter, "Gaza was the first time I held a baby's brains in my hand. The first of many."

We're the terrorists. We are. The word "terrorist" won't have any meaning or relevance until it applies first and foremost to the giant globe-spanning power structure that is inflicting this nightmare upon our species.

This month's issue of JOHNSTONE is titled "We're The Terrorists", featuring a painting of the final moments of Sha'ban al-Dalou, a 19 year-old software engineering student who was burned alive in his hospital bed by Israeli forces.
