It is so much harder to hide the truth with so many “unauthorized” messengers. From Jonathan Cook at jonathancook.substack.com:
Through Israel and the ideology of Zionism, western elites reinvented their ugly, racist system of control and sold it as a ‘moral’ cause. Now the game is up

Israel’s campaign to eradicate Gaza is about to enter its third year.
This is not just a symbolic moment. It is crunch time, both for those carrying out the enclave’s destruction, and for those who oppose it.
Two years in, western capitals still refuse to name as a genocide the mass slaughter carried out by Israel and the famine it has engineered. They are still blind to the tsunami of crimes against humanity committed by Israel over the past 23 months. Even identifying these atrocities as violations of international law has proved a step too far for most.
Western leaders are not about to reverse course.
Like Shakespeare’s Macbeth, they are “in blood stepped in so far” they dare not turn back. To do so would be to admit their guilt as co-conspirators in Israel’s genocide, for providing the arms, intelligence and diplomatic cover that made it possible.
But the difficulties they face denying a reality live-streamed to their domestic populations grow more acute by the day – and not just because emaciated children across Gaza are dying in ever larger numbers.
Last week, the international association that represents genocide scholars voted overwhelmingly that Israel’s actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide.
The formal, scholarly consensus has now fully caught up with the popular one – even if western leaders and their compliant media prefer to ignore both.
This is undoubtedly a genocide.
None of it possible without funding and weapons from Under Satan’s Authority?
