This Just In from CNN: Israeli War Criminal Becomes Vegetarian

 

Eliran Mizrahi, 40-year old Israeli reservist and father of four, who "fought" in Gaza, killed himself back in June.  His bulldozer mate, Guy Zaken, has become a vegetarian after running over hundreds of Palestinian bodies, "dead and alive."  "Everything squirts out," he said. 

So here in the Land of the Free, when it comes to information, we live in what you might call a "nutrition desert."  

There's plenty of information, lots of entertainment, but precious little of it has any nutritional value.  You don't learn anything from it.  And in fact, you come away dumber than when you started.

In the 1988 book, Manufacturing Consent, public intellectuals Noam Chomsky and Edward Herman explored the idea of mass media propaganda, and how it serves to advance certain... agendas, let's call them.

In the United States, in news media such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, and CNN, this takes the form of fingerpointing at what perceived enemies and rivals are up to, and celebrating or obscuring what the US or its allies are doing.  

A famous example of this occurred during the Iraq War, when the New York Times stopped referring to waterboarding as a form of torture, and began referring to it as an "enhanced interrogation technique," simply because the United States was waterboarding Iraqi prisoners. 

A new example happened just the other day in a report from CNN so egregious, it would be darkly funny in any other context.  In fact, the report reads like something the satirical newspaper The Onion might have come up with.

Guy Zaken: The Meatless Mass Murderer

If you've come out from under your rock recently, you've probably become aware that the temporary arrangement known as "Israel" has been carrying out a campaign of extermination against the Palestinian people.

You also might know that they've been using copious amounts of Thee Optimist's tax dollars to pay for this, an expenditure with which he is deeply displeased.

So displeased is he, that he has been giving money to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine.  You can also give them money, by going HERE.

He has also stopped making jokes about the banality of evil embodied by "Genocide" Joe Biden and Kamala "the War Whore" Harris, who have the stench of blood on them to such a degree that it will never come off.  It's not funny anymore.

But CNN is still kind of funny.

Taking a page from Chomsky's book, CNN tried to humanize the people currently committing mass murder of women, children and old people on an industrial scale.

In the report (there it is again, please do enjoy), CNN describes the terrible toll the genocide in Gaza is taking on the mental health of the criminals who are carrying it out.  

The story primarily focuses on the aforementioned suicide of Mizrahi, the driver of a D-9 bulldozer, a 62-ton armored vehicle that the Israelis often use to destroy buildings, communities and people.  

To be clear, the bulldozers are manufactured for Israel by the American company Caterpillar, if you're looking for someone to boycott, divest from, or carry out acts of sabotage against.  

While focusing on the fallout from the suicider Mizrahi's death, the authors also interview Mizrahi's former bulldozer mate Guy Zaken.  Zaken's comments provide such fascinating, eh, food for thought, that I will quote from the story extensively:


Guy Zaken, Mizrahi’s friend and co-driver of the bulldozer, provided further insight into their experience in Gaza. “We saw very, very, very difficult things,” Zaken told CNN. “Things that are difficult to accept."

The former soldier has spoken publicly about the psychological trauma endured by Israeli troops (!) in Gaza. In a testimony to the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, in June, Zaken said that on many occasions, soldiers had to “run over terrorists, dead and alive, in the hundreds.”

“Everything squirts out,” he added.

Zaken says he can no longer eat meat, as it reminds him of the gruesome scenes he witnessed from his bulldozer in Gaza, and struggles to sleep at night, the sound of explosions ringing in his head.

“When you see a lot of meat outside, and blood… both ours and theirs (Hamas), then it really affects you when you eat.”

He maintains that the vast majority of those he encountered were “terrorists.”

“There is no such thing as citizens,” he said.

A normal work day for Eliran Mizrahi and Guy Zaken.  Israeli bulldozer dragging the remains of a dead Palestinian.
 

During World War II, the Einsatzgruppen were SS death squads who carried out widespread atrocities throughout Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe.  

Imagine, for a moment, a major media outlet doing a sympathetic story about the mental health troubles of blood-stained Einsatzgruppen stormtroopers.
