Silence may be Golden
But sometimes it's leaden.
The anniversary of 7th of October Hamas led attack on Israel, probably one of the most momentous events of recent times, an event that will studied and pored over for generations, passed by with barely a ripple in the NZ blogosphere.
Everyone seems to be ducking for cover on this issue
No doubt the mainstream media's own lackluster mediocre coverage, and even outright censorship, have something to do with it. It's like everyone in the media don't want to look too closely, into that horrific event. Or don't want to be caught out by knowingly broadcasting pro-war propaganda that they know to be false, and also know will be later proved to be false with the passage of time. Nobody wants to wind up on the wrong side of history. On the other side nobody wants to stick their head to challenge the mainstream media. So silence is the default position.
Why is this important?
Because the events of October 7 have been used to justify a genocide.
