Whenever there’s a bomb blast in Pakistan, Afghanistan or Iraq – and you hear the words ‘suicide bomber’, ‘Al Qaida‘ or ‘Pakistani Talban’ – consider the plausible alternative that it’s likely to have been an atrocity perpetrated by Zionists.

Who? How?

Those are good questions – questions the mass media would be investigating and reporting, if they weren’t themselves part of a chain of disinformation designed to perptuate these very same myths.

These terrible murderous deeds might be orchestrated by Mossad. More likely, I think, ‘private contractors’ are utilised. Discrete units within the vast US intelligence / special forces morass are another alternative.

‘Suicide bombings’ are most likely explained by deliberate planting of bombs – either inside vehicles or in stationary positions.

The bomb goes off. Often it’s impossible to account for all the corpses. It’s consequently impossible to deny a ‘suicide bomber’ was involved with certainty. The western mass media, however, displays false certainty. It snaps into action straight away, informing us the latest bombing was carried out by a ‘suicide bomber’ , often naming ‘Al Qaida’ or the ‘Pakistani Talban’ as the culprit. There’s no real follow up. The blasts come so frequently any possibility of establishing the truth is lost is a general haze of death and destruction.

How do I know the mass media has this important story so fundamentally wrong?

I don’t… not for sure. I suspect it.

There may very well be individuals or small groups in Pakistan, Afghanistan or Iraq, so desperate about what has become of their society, so angry with the western occupiers and so irate with collaborators among their own people that they’re willing to die while killing for a perceived strategic gain (that’s a trait, incidentally, westerners are encouraged to regard as a sign of high courage when evinced by their own soldiers).

There is also, quite clearly, an authentic and popular insurgency in Afghanistan and Iraq. Most people don’t like foreign occupation. Why should Iraqis or Afghanis? Especially when they see the occupiers bringing violence and ruin to their lands…

'Evil Islam' - Zionist Propaganda on YouTube

But seriously, would authentic ‘Islamic extremists’ bomb a pro-Palestine demonstration in Pakistan?

Would genuine Muslims blow themselves up – with the specific objective of murdering public opponents of Zionism?

The story is plainly absurd.

It’s intended to suggest that the Muslim religion is inherently violent and irrational.

That’s just ugly Zionist/Hasbara propaganda.

This stuff is believable by trusting children, perhaps, but intelligent adults should see through such crude disinformation.

We could all do worse than attend to the remarks of Jesus (1 Corinthians 13:11) on the process of maturation:

When I was a child,
I talked like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became adult,
I put childish ways behind me.
