CNN compares Keffiyehs to Confederate Flags
Wearing a Keffiyeh in a Jewish neighborhood is apparently the same as waving a Confederate flag in Harlem
CNN’s Van Jones, who somehow still calls himself a progressive, gives a racist rant against pro-Palestinian protesters in LA, claiming that wearing a keffiyeh in “Jewish neighborhoods” is as much a call for violence as waving a confederate flag in Harlem.
Jones, as well as President Biden and every mainstream media outlet, has been condemning what they call antisemitic protests against a synagogue in LA.
None of the headlines, however, actually mention what they were protesting. It wasn’t the synagogue, but the real estate event selling occupied Palestinian land.
It’s example number 3 billion of the sad fact that if you only listen to corporate media and bought-out politicians, you’ll have no idea of the horrors they’re so good at hiding. And just wait until we go through the videos of pro-Israeli counter-protesters saying and committing the most vile acts, all while a group of cops looks the other way. It’s honestly sickening.
But there is one light, a much-needed sign that all the work we’re doing has some impact: Julian Assange is free. It is supporters of independent media like you who helped save his life.
