Using siege warfare to deliberately starve Gaza for the previous 22 months wasn’t enough.
But now that starvation has hit a critical point and deaths from malnutrition are skyrocketing, now that images of dead skeletal children are filling our screens, now that the damage to organs and brains from starvation will be irreversible in many cases — now it’s enough.
That was the line, apparently. That’s what mainstream western consciousness has decided is too much. Everything up until that line was fine, but now it’s not fine anymore.
Another great article by Caitlin Johnstone. I don’t think though, that mass starvation truly was a moral “red line” that woke even hardened zionists up.
It’s simply, that the big zionist propaganda institutions speak up, now that it’s to late, because it’s to late. Not necessarily to late for the people alive in Palestine, who still desperately need all the help they can get of course, but they never cared about those anyway. The point is, it’s to late to seriously harm Israels public image. They already did every crime there is in the world, inventing many new ones on the way and live streamed it all.
The New York Times publishing that article recently might just be a calculated move. They are not at all reversing their line of never doing anything, that might worsen Israels public image. They simply recognized, that speaking up now doesn’t really matter anymore, so they might as well. All the horrors have been so incredibly public and obvious for such a long time anyway, that propaganda slowly starts to lose part of it’s effect even on western liberals.

Yeah it’s about credibility. They need to remain effective and “impartial” in the eyes of some amount of the population. If they never admit it, or admit it only after it’s long done people will question that. But admit at the late hour, draw attention to it and you’re now “brave” and speaking truth to power and if some info comes out later showing you should have said something 12 months ago well then you made a simple “mistake” or were “misled” by those dastardly mustache-twirling zionists who hypnotized you into believing them (and you assure your readers you had good reasons to at the time but you’re “sorry” and in future you’ll be “more careful”).
Nothing could be more illustrative than Klobuchar making that speech literally a week after smiling for a photo op with Netanyahu. It’s so on the nose for the pivot these types of people are doing to save their credibility/cover their asses that it wouldn’t work as satire for being too obvious.
