Daily Stormer The Most Censored Publication in History
My rule is that anything the media is for, I am against.
People have tried to claim that it is some kind of fallacy to be against something just because the media is for it. To steelman it, the reddit logic there is this: “If you are against everything the media says, then the media controls what you support because they can get you to be against anything by themselves supporting it.” Frankly, that argument seemed to track when it came to Donald Trump, where people were against things they would otherwise support because Trump was for these things.
The most glaring case:

For me, “anything the media is for I’m against” is just a guide-stick, as I do always evaluate everything on merit, regardless.
The reality is, however, this really is the way it goes: I have logically evaluated everything the media says, and everything they push, and I am against it. Therefore, whenever they push something, my default position is to be against it. In a unique case, I’m not opposed to agreeing with them if they are right.
But there is currently only one such case that I know of, and that is the support for the Palestinians against Israel, which has, under the Democrats, been normalized in the media. Their reasons are different from mine, but I do indeed support the media’s position on this issue.
I probably support the Palestinians much more than the media. I would not call armed Palestinians “militants,” for example. (If you didn’t want to say “freedom fighters,” you could say “resistance.”) But it is undeniable that if you check any Western media outlet, they are much more sympathetic to the Palestinians than they were a decade ago (even though Obama was pushing it back then), and they treat this situation much differently than other situations.
What is going on in France, for example, is in many ways analogous to the situation in Palestine, except that the French are the Palestinians and the Jihadis are the army of the Jews. You would never see the media express any form of sympathy for the French. (They are just ignoring that entire situation.)
Honestly, I think the biggest reason the media is now on #TeamPalestine is that Trump is so aggressively pro-Israel. You have other reasons, too. In general, Western Jews have become semi-hostile to the current government of Israel, with George Soros actually funding these anti-Bibi protests (which are likely not over yet). You also have a lot of brown millennials who grew up with anti-Israel propaganda now in positions of influence in the media and in the groups that pressure the media.
Presumably, if there was a liberal government in Israel, the media would start taking a different tact.
The Israeli military withdrew its troops from a militant stronghold in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, ending an intense two-day operation that killed at least 13 Palestinians, drove thousands of people from their homes and left a wide swath of damage in its wake. One Israeli soldier was also killed.
The army claimed to have inflicted heavy damage on militant groups in the Jenin refugee camp in an operation that included a series of airstrikes and hundreds of ground troops.
It was the Israeli military’s largest-scale operation in the occupied Palestinian territory in almost 20 years, but it remained unclear whether there would be any long-lasting effect after nearly a year and a half of heavy fighting in the West Bank.
Ahead of the withdrawal, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to carry out more operations if needed.
“At these moments we are completing the mission, and I can say that our extensive operation in Jenin is not a one-off,” he said during a visit to a military post on the outskirts of Jenin. “We will eradicate terrorism wherever we see it and we will strike at it.”
The Jenin raid was one of the most intense Israeli military operations in the West Bank since an armed Palestinian uprising against Israel’s open-ended occupation ended two decades ago, but Israel has been carrying out near daily raids in the West Bank since early 2022 in response to a series of deadly Palestinian attacks. It says the raids are meant to crack down on Palestinian militants and are necessary because the Palestinian Authority is too weak to control the armed groups.
Palestinians say such violence is the inevitable result of 56 years of occupation and the absence of any political process with Israel. They also point to increased West Bank settlement construction and violence by extremist settlers.
See, that right there: giving the side of the Palestinians at all is new. Previously, they would have just said that “Israel has a right to defend itself,” called the Palestinians terrorists, and that would be that.
Of course, they were never as hard on Palestine as they were on other enemies of the Jews (especially whites). The New York Times, for example, would always allow op-eds to be published condemning settlements. There are levels to the allowability of topics. The Times would never allow an op-ed to be published defending North Korea, for example. But they recently published a piece from Yale professor Stephen Wertheim, an anti-neocon Jew. (He’s okay, I think. I’m sure he’s got some agenda, but he’s okay.)
The most notable thing about Israel abruptly pulling out in two days is that they did it immediately after an attack on Israeli civilians in Tel Aviv. A Palestinian drove his car into people then got out and started stabbing, wounding 8 people. From an outsider perspective, it looks like the high profile attack was linked to the withdrawal. You’d think they wouldn’t want to give the Palestinians the impression that “terrorism works.” But then you realize “actually, that is the exact impression Bibi wants to give the Palestinians, given that his entire persona is built on the idea that he’s a necessary evil.”
There are various conspiracies about Israel supporting Hamas. I do not think there are any backroom deals, but I do think the 2005 pullout of Gaza was intended to create violent resistance. Still, even though it feeds Bibi, I don’t think you can blame the Palestinians for violent resistance when they are under violent attack. You basically put Bibi in a win-win situation, where if there is violence, he says “you need me to protect you” and if there is no violence, he says “I’m the only one upholding the peace.”
