Since the Hamas-led attacks in Israel on October 7, 2023, the Western mainstream media have propagated hoax claims about atrocities committed against Israeli civilians that have been systematically debunked by alternative media outlets such as The Grayzone, Electronic Intifada, and Mondoweiss.
Now the superb investigative journalist Max Blumenthal and his team at The Grayzone have released a 44-minute documentary titled Atrocity Inc: How Israel Sells Its Destruction of Gaza, which details how government officials and the media have manufactured consent for Israel’s genocide in Gaza by uncritically parroting hoax claims such as that many babies were beheaded, a baby was cooked in an oven, a baby was cut out of a pregnant woman’s womb and murdered, and Hamas used systematic rape as a weapon of war (the topic of a major New York Times report debunked as a hoax yet still uncorrected, much less retracted).
The documentary also discusses how some if not many Israeli civilians were killed not by Palestinian militants but by Israeli armed forces, with a resurrection of an older Israeli policy called the “Hannibal Directive”.
This is a must-watch exposé of how propaganda works to get gullible members of the public (a seeming majority) to support or at least remain quiet about Israel’s US-backed crimes against humanity:
Here is the Grayzone’s description of the video (available on YouTube, Rumble, and Twitter):
In an exclusive new documentary, Max Blumenthal rips the cover off the media deceptions and atrocity hoaxes Israel pushed after October 7 to create political space for its gruesome assault on the Gaza Strip. Blumenthal exposes the US mainstream media’s role as a megaphone for the Israeli government, introducing new lies even after their initial ones were debunked.
Atrocity Inc raises serious questions about the official narrative of October 7, while revealing how Israel’s army has consciously engaged in the same hideous atrocities which it falsely accused Palestinian militants of committing.
The Biden administration’s complicity in Israel’s genocide is an escalated continuation of the US government’s 76-year-old policy of supporting the Jewish supremacist state’s crimes against the Palestinians. To learn more about that longstanding policy, I dare say you can’t do better than my book Obstacle to Peace: The US Role in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.
Here’s how Max Blumenthal has described it:
Over the course of a book that is as meticulously detailed as it is readable, Jeremy Hammond explains how the US approach he correctly identifies as rejectionist is closing the door on peace in the Holy Land. We must learn the historical lessons Hammond outlines in Obstacle to Peace before that door is nailed shut for good.
Scott Horton, director of The Libertarian Institute, where I am now a Research Fellow, recently described Obstacle to Peace as “the definitive scholarly account of the American role in the entire disaster.”
So, if you want to take a deep dive into the true nature of the conflict, the US government’s true role in it, and how the mainstream media manipulate public opinion by mindlessly regurgitating tired Zionist propaganda, you can get a hardcover or paperback copy directly from me here.
