Should we be surprised to see Israel's IDF working in our media?

How did a former IDF intelligence officer get a job as a journalist, with no experience, for one of the worlds biggest papers?
Right, so for as much as far too many of our politicians on both sides of the house right now are in hoc to the Israel Lobby, happy to do their bidding, aid and abet them in their genocide and continue to ignore the overwhelming will of the British people who want a ceasefire, we don’t look at our media in the same way and we probably should.
We know MPs get lobbied, we know they get lots of lovely perks via associated groups such as Labour Friends of Israel and the Tory equivalent too. The antisemitism scam against Jeremy Corbyn saw a number of newspapers come out and accuse him of being weak on tackling the issue, being antisemitic himself and doing whatever was within their power to do so, the Guardian was notable for this, particularly Jewish journalist Jonathan Freedland, but as much as we can surmise he might have had pro Israel leanings from what he wrote, his mother incidentally was Israeli born, read into that what you will, though Freedland once wrote she was even more hawkish than he was on matters relating to Israel. But this isn’t about Freedland, at least not in any sense I’m aware of, because another far more blatant example of entryism into the media by Israel has been uncovered in the US and it has begged the question how could this have happened and has it happened elsewhere?
Right, so pro Israeli headlines in our mainstream media is nothing new to us, but we take such things with a heavy pinch of salt when we can read an article one moment and then witness the bare uncensored imagery of what is happening in Gaza right now on social media. No filter, no bias, and although in this era of deep fakes it’s no longer necessarily true to say the camera doesn’t lie, when the images are so numerous and coming from so many different sources, we know beyond doubt what we’re witnessing to be true.
We know the power of the mainstream media, we know it’s power to influence and distort as well as inform. Those of us on the left of politics, those of us who were supporters and activists for Corbyn’s Labour as I was, knew the power they had, the influence they could bring to bear, from daily attack pieces on Corbyn, accusing a lifelong antiracist of being a literal danger to Jewish life in the UK, certainly worth remembering as MPs currently claim to fear for their own safety as they are in the news now, when Corbyn being attacked, or with people camping on his doorstep or climbing on his roof, when by and these same people worrying about themselves now, were laughing about that then and whether you liked Corbyn or not, surely the hypocrisy there is something you can agree with.
But there’s been a scandal stateside which might imply that Israel are upping their game perhaps and again the media has been complicit in this.Show more

►ABOUT ME:
Hi, I'm Damien Willey. I'm a former welder, but now I'm a writer, blogger, vlogger and presenter and interviewer with Socialist Telly (Please do go and visit what we all get up to on https://www.youtube.com/c/SocialistTelly)
I'm an unpaid carer for my disabled wife and daughter and as such we know all too well the difficulties that associated with that living in Tory Britain and I personally believe the answer lies in socialism.
This channel, along with my other social media act as outlets to push back against that, to demand better of our politicians and leaders, to pull apart the media spin that supports them and the way the UK is run and to give a voice, loud as mine is, to the voiceless.
