Dissecting and anti-semitism psi-up.

I recently watched a Sky News segment on the need to ban pro-Palestine marches, which
0:10
nicely illustrates the way the mass media have been working to manipulate the public
0:14
into believing these demonstrations are causing anti-Semitic attacks.
0:20
Reporting on British Prime Minister Kier Starmars recent assertion that the repeat nature
0:25
and cumulative effect of pro-Palestine marches may necessitate a ban on some protests following
0:31
the golders green stabbing.
0:33
Reporter Molly Malone repeatedly told the audience of Sky News that the marches are happening
0:38
in the context of anti-Semitic incidents and against the backdrop of attacks on Jewish
0:46
There is no evidence whatsoever for the claim that pro-Palestine marches have anything
0:51
at all to do with anti-Semitic attacks.
0:54
Now watch how this Sky News propagandist marries the two in the minds of her viewers by
0:59
repeatedly mentioning them in the same breath and connecting them with words like context
1:07
The Prime Minister has gone somewhat further than he has previously in discussing and commenting
1:12
on how to approach and manage these protests, which we've seen for a long time now, but
1:18
clearly they now come against the backdrop of increased attacks on our Jewish communities,
1:24
most recently, of course, on Wednesday, where two Jewish men were stabbed in golders green.
1:31
Malone made the obligatory appeal to emotion by talking about the feelings of British
1:36
Jews by saying that anti-Semitic attacks are adding to fears among Jewish people and
1:43
It's in that context that these pro-Palestine marches are being discussed.
1:49
I could make the exact same type of argument to suggest that the faint humming sound from
1:54
my refrigerator is causing the pain in my ankle.
1:58
I could say I'm experiencing ankle soreness, and the soreness is making my feelings feel
2:04
very upset, and it is in this context and against this backdrop that the buzzing from the refrigerator
2:13
At no point am I actually presenting evidence that the soreness in my ankle has anything
2:17
to do with the faint buzzing sound.
2:20
I'm just using fallacious associations and appeals to emotion to get you to think of
2:25
them as having a causal relationship.
2:29
Malone uncritically quoted the UK's independent reviewer of terrorism legislation Jonathan
2:35
Hall asserting on no basis whatsoever that pro-Palestine marches, quote,
2:40
Incubate anti-Semitism, then repeated the bogus Haspera talking point that the phrase
2:46
globalize the antifada is seen to incite violence toward Jewish people.
2:52
The context here is everything Malone concluded after a few minutes of pro-Palestine activist
2:58
rebuttals to provide the illusion of impartiality.
3:03
As the British political media class have been doing for days when discussing the Goulders
3:07
Green Stabbings, Malone neglects to mention that a third man who was not Jewish was also
3:13
attacked in the same incident, and that the assailant had recently emerged from the
3:18
care of a psychiatric hospital.
3:21
You might think that perpetrator's extensive history of mental health struggles, combined
3:26
with the fact that he did not solely target Jewish people, would dissuade serious news
3:31
reporters from framing this as an act motivated by hateful ideology.
3:36
But British news media employees are not serious news reporters.
3:41
They are propagandists.
3:45
This frenzied propaganda push to stomp out pro-Palestine protests across the Western world
3:50
has nothing to do with protecting Jewish people from anti-Semitic attacks.
3:55
It's about protecting the interests of Israel and the murderous Western governments with
