12:30 pm
us as cocaine, this is the 2nd time that this community please from violence. the 1st time was a little over 20 years ago when at least 50 members of the community were killed by another on the group. and at that time, they were already granted a special protection staff state this here in columbia due to the ex, essential threats for their life and their livelihood in their territory. many here hopes that not to have to deal with this kind of violence again, but unfortunately this has been the case for them. and a for other indigenous people that have been over whelming leave target said by these on group and what appears to be a reconfiguration of the conflict, 5th and side columbia. despite at times by the government of a goose, double festival, a to initiate the talks with the remaining on the groups in the country. the
12:31 pm
question now for the people is just for how long they will have to remain here. so far, local authorities have been helping them with fluids, madison and other basic needs. but the fear is that this emergency could worse than in the coming days and weeks and that they could the remains trend. it's here for months. allison that i'm 50, i just see that the watcher we can't hear you has won the washington dc republican primary. it's only half us victory say fall again. it's full, the president donald trump, now he's heavily save it to get the policies not to go up against the president, right? by the end of them is election. paley is the 1st women to win any republican party . primary. it will stay in the states, they pop up with a storm and days of all i see places have dumped around 3 meters of snow on golden california. let's see. i would have auto mountains was affected by high winds and dangerous travel conditions. so dress have closed around
12:32 pm
a 160 kilometers of roads. another hoss meter of snow is expected to full in the next 48 hours. and the volcano has up to them to go out the go silence, but there is no immediate danger to taurus because the island is uninhabited. it's one of the low, the $100.00 pacific ocean islands, which a why like century of the coast of quit all well, as always you follow they stories on all websites, dollars a dot com do site and that this thing is the host is next to be watching, i'll just say i'm bone use in half an hour the on march, the 7th us president joe 5 and we'll deliver his state of the union address with issues like immigration, economic recovery, add america's response to global conflicts on his agenda environment. re up to his
12:33 pm
leadership credentials in this personal election year, special coverage from washington. they were almost 5 months into israel's war on gods, and among the institutions whose reputation. so taking a beating over their coverage, the new york times a german film festival worthy of its own award for the worst performance in the tacit support. oven is really generous. and why bother investigating more crimes in dogs? when is really, soldiers are documenting those prime cds and incriminating themselves? the sense is real launched. it's a salt on god's in october, many western news outlets have seen their credibility. take a hit accused by audiences and staff members, a like ups coming to is really propaganda. that includes one of the world's best known publications,
12:34 pm
the new york times. and the tore his case in point and investigation the times published back in december. which alleged that from mazda, deliberately weaponized rape, and sexual violence on october 7th. those claims have since been on substantiate. if not, this proven, revealing the times is pro, is rarely anti palestinian bias and leaving the papers, news room a ribbon by descent. but for the times is critics including some of its former reporters. the article is the nearest symptom of an age old problem. a persistent double standard in the stories the paper deems fit to print on israel and palestine . and those it does not. the role of the new york times is not defined by of circulation is defined by the fact that it sets the agenda. that's number one. number 2, most newspapers do not have foreign bureaus and so they will run the times foreign
12:35 pm
coverage. so that's the power of the times and sets the agenda starting with something that is definitely not breaking the with the american newspaper of record, the new york times has a track record of supporting israel. what is new are the stakes? israel is on trial for genocide at the international court of justice, court, which propaganda effort has been framing her. mazda is a times on october 7th, as extraordinarily sadistic like something out of the nicest place. the wholesale mexican mutilation, raped, and abduction of as many citizens as the terrace could find. enter the times and this story published in late december. it accused the palestinian militants of a webinar using rape and sexual violence, systematically unleashing and honest, really women and men of lowered allegation, a sensational story. but one that the evidence simply fails to support. when the
12:36 pm
new york times said, we've done a 2 months long investigation, we interviewed a 150 people. and we found abroad passive sexual violence on october 7th. that for a lot of people just close the case if the new york times is saying it, then it must be true. i even had friends who know how much israel misrepresents things and lies hoops, said i the now surely you have to give some credence to what to say, but it's a case of journalistic fraud because it just doesn't deliver the goods. the principal criticism lies within the main claim, which is that not only did sexual assault and occasions of rape occur, but that they were used systematically since that report has been published. major
12:37 pm
flaws have emerged, not just in the content itself, but also when it comes to the actual journalists and authors behind the report. it's alternative us news outlets. subscriber funded ones like mando finds our tronic intifada. and the gray zone went to work debunking the times. this story, they noted the article contained 0 direct testimony from victims. that the alleged eye witnesses, the paper quoted, were either anonymous or of dubious credibility that the family of a woman killed on october 7th disputed the times as a search that she had been raped. another of the times this source is accused, the reporters of pressuring them to speak, saying it was important for israel's p r. f. one of the reporters involved and not schwartz, had never filed a new story before october. second, she is a filmmaker whose work a pdf page said she had worked for his reading. intelligence had the times done his
12:38 pm
homework. it's editors would have known that schwartz is social media accounts revealed. she had liked some disturbing posts, including one the advocating turning gaza into a slaughter house, a post to south africa included in its case against israel at the icy check. not that the story was schwartz, his id. she explained to his really army radio. i know kind of the mouth barnett thing, kid and the 2 needs as though it just smells you my show. am womack color? that's awesome. manning and i always look up to columbus color management. it was an odd way for such a report to come to get still the times published it. and showcase imagine it was the other way around. any palestinian who whispers, something that is considered politically incorrect is out in the 2nd and you have this person who worked for the israeli intelligence. it wasn't
12:39 pm
a journalist and who liked on social media. these blood, curtis and calls for the death summation of palestinians in gaza. and that's the person you hired a report on your store disparity between standards and staggering the new york times article had an enormous impact. i've seen it cited repeatedly even by some human rights organizations. but i have to say, i think that it had less influence than it might have had. if independent media outlets had not exposed the floors in the new york times is used to getting away with this. and this time they did the critics of that times report included people on the inside. the papers pod cast, the daily planned to produce a version of the store but dropped the project. following descent in the news room
12:40 pm
over concerns about the journal is roughly 6 weeks later. when you, when officials highlighted, quote unquote, credible allegations that is really is had raped or sexually assaulted palestinians . they have imprisoned, including children. the times failed to cover the storm. then there was the writing, the paper has published by thomas for a former jerusalem bureau chief turned columns. friedman, infamously, backed the 2003 us led invasion of iraq that was based on lines and did so in the most offensive, carefully or way. and what they needed to see was american boys and girls going house to house from boshra to baghdad. and basically say, well stop on this. ok. this time around friedman can come to the coma. comparing the middle east to an animal king with america cast as an old life,
12:41 pm
iranians, as wasps, and for mar, some kind of spite. when keith like coons, the palestinians, and various other players in the region to animals, it's terrifyingly offensive. at the time when the israelis are saying that the palestinians and gaza are human animals and even more offensive than that is treating a situation like this. a, some kind of fables from farmyard story ross's, are actually understanding the reality of the palestinians that this is an oppressed people. this is an occupied people, is classic colonialism, classic racism. and wherever you look in a settler colonial project, the british and kenya or india, they spoke in the same language. and they used overwhelming force to subdue
12:42 pm
a population that they considered less than human and only capable of understanding violence. friedman in the rack was the famous one who said, we hear the rock because we could says thomas friedman is one of the spokes people for that twisted etiology. and that's why he does as well as he does. the new york times is not alone and failing. it's american audience on the gaza story. there was the wall street journal report on israel's allegation that on there release agency . so many palestinians depend on it, had been infiltrated by hun moss. the paper swallowed israel's unsubstantiated side of that story, hook, line, and sinker. there's cnn and the fake news be headed babies married babies and toddlers were found, with their heads decapitated. neither cnn nor the journal, however, are considered america's news outlets of records. the way the times is,
12:43 pm
what should it be despite some worthwhile investigations since october 7th, like this one, showing the destruction caused by 2000 pound is really bonds that does not begin to address. and in balance that goes back decades lead on misstate couple pro israel bias coming out of the times is jerusalem bureau where chris hedges worked in the early 2, thousands. you have had more than one case where the reporter assigned to jerusalem beef and bronner, for example, his children are serving in the id. yes. i mean imagine that if of palestinian reporter covering gaza, his kids were in an armed wing of any palest, any infection. so i sit on the one sided coverage, used vacation time to go to honda, eunice, and write a magazine piece for harper's called a guy's. a diary that was published and i was informed that i would never report
12:44 pm
again from the middle east. for the new york times, i'm in arabic speaker by the way. they don't have a lot. so you pay a heavy price. if you attempt to report, we requested interviews with numerous reporters as of times and as spoke persons and all of them declined. instead, the paper set this state, we remained conference in the accuracy of our reporting and stand by the teams investigation which was rigorously sourced and editors. we could have asked about the papers, famous motto, the one created in $1897.00, that's still a durance, it's masthead today. and perhaps suggested an edit. something like, all the news that's fit to print and something that clearly is germany is under a long shadow of censorship. when it comes to god's situation, that is so grand, it can be, can be the good times. the latest example came at
12:45 pm
a film festival in berlin, where and is really and the palestinian teamed up to win an award. i mean obviously, robbie is here with more the, the is one of the so called big 5 film festivals worldwide. and is a major cultural institution in germany. it was already facing criticism for the silence on the genocide and gaza service. the makers pointed out in protest and festively workers demanded the organizers called for the seas file. it all came to a head when no other land assume about the ethnic cleansing and settling of palestinian villages in the west bank won the award for best documentary. the phone was quoted, acted by policy in an activist, basil audra. and it's really fun because you've all abraham, i am these really by cities by the senior. and in 2 days we've been go back to a land where we are not equal. i am living under a civilian law invest that he's under military law. the situation was
12:46 pm
a part time between us to see any quality. it has to end. the festival quickly distanced itself from abraham's remarks, which were hardly contribution. the german press and politicians criticized abraham . a jewish is bailey calling his statement and to submit to buttons. man said the words would intolerable the country's culture. minnesota who was criticized for applauding the same because then satisfied she was clapping only for abraham all the noise it addicting. this example of the toxic climate in germany for any discussion about the water and gaza. a billing based coalition of awesome culture workers call it an ever present atmosphere of feel. so censorship and suspicion on social media and in the workplace, in institutions and on the street is really media went all in on the story as well . so that's against the makers of no other land have intensified and you value abraham, who says his family and israel has been targeted by his writing modes, says he's now to a face to go back home. next me, after
12:47 pm
a mazda is attacks on october 7th, it's really leaders spoke openly about the annihilation of grass. they said there were no innocence there called palestinians animals with no right to exist. they were in sight, a generous, a message that was clearly heard. busy on the battlefield because in one video after another is where the soldiers have recorded their own war crimes celebrating as they moved at homes, destroyed houses, or set them on fire. filming, as they mocked, humiliated and assaulted the palestinian captains. it is a sign of the impunity. they think they have that so much of that material has been brazenly posted on social media. it's now in a way, palestinians have seen this kind of thing before going back to 1948 but never have the images. the videos been this wide spread explicit and barbaric. the listening post has collected some of that material and asked 3 experts on human rights and torture to assess it. first of you are warning. many of the images in this report
12:48 pm
are difficult to take in the there has been
12:49 pm
a remarkable number of videos posted by is really soldiers on social media depicting themselves, pillaging property, mocking the death and destruction that they are causing. and most egregious lea, a torturing humiliating and mocking the turn palestinian prisoners local, pre, pre, the images of massachusetts of torture by the spinny ends of numbering their bodies, which is that i'm in a sense of images. one of us have seen from 131 the ability of these images of testament to experience have long been saying, which is that this, this set of the game is utterly violent me. so the nature through which this genocide is unfolding in the gaza strip, they also show that seem vitality and torture environments. other disregards of
12:50 pm
human life, transforming these violence concepts into expect to contribute and watched a on social media posts. they lacked specific intelligence about who actually might be from us and because they lack intelligence. they therefore are rounding up everyone in order to hope to extract information through interrogation. the fact that they've been stripped to their underwear is, you know, a manifestation of cruel in humane and degrading treatment, which is also illegal in addition to torture. the fact that they're photographing these things, it's like trophy shots. what this to picks, i think very vividly is the humanize ation and torture. you know, the idea that somebody can be just like their body is just being attacked, you know, in their most vulnerable position. his hands are bound behind his back. he's lying face down. soldiers stepping on his face in a sensitive utilizes torture in general,
12:51 pm
purposely harming someone who's in custody. that custodial relationship is a particularly vulnerable one, where you know, the custodians have all the power and the prisoner who is in this case, not only on the ground and tied up but completely powerless. the images are showing us in thing us power senses imprisonment or carson and practices are through the steps that crown and torture human nation and degrading con bostic in spanish. pinions is not simply restricted to the gaza strip, but also images and videos that have been sent to us bank since october 7th, over 7000 students haven't in the theme, which is my number on hand all. over the past, the kid, the,
12:52 pm
he's really soldiers have quite remarkably taken to converting their masses really unprecedented destruction of posted in homes, hospitals, mosques, university, churches, in to entertain with videos. there's one video where is where the leaseholders are showing some residential homes that they've set on fire and attached to a song news. there have been many, many images of uh is rarely soldiers who ransacked palestinian homes and
12:53 pm
confiscated their personal goods. one in particular is the red negotiate that appears to be seen. and so many is rarely videos. where is rarely, soldiers are mocking and advertising. they are very deliberate intrusion of the home of a palestinian woman, the confiscation of her most intimate apparel and flaunting that in a way that's definitely intended to be provocative and humiliating. the videos for reinforce a discourse that is coming out of every sector of the israeli official machine where all palestinians are the enemy, the many officials have said they deserve to be eliminated. when you see it manifestation in that kind of want to be, you know, that soldiers are expressing as they destroy palestinian homes. and there is
12:54 pm
a consumption of this kind of image that kind of fortifies the anger that hate trade, the anti palestinian sentiments and the kind of complete disregard of the humanity of palestinian civilians. there is such a high level of confidence among these idea of soldiers that they can do whatever they want to say to the whole world. look at what we're doing to palestinians, and gosh, look, look at how we are lising detainees. look at how we're humiliating every single man, woman and child, as we destroy their homes, set fire to them and make fun of it. and they are provoking and challenging the whole world to say we can do this, we can get away with it. and no one in the world can stop us, no is riley, has found themselves sanctioned by the international community by countries that have these tools, which again has only reinforced the belief of israeli soldiers that they are
12:55 pm
immune, that they are exempted from complying with international laws. from basic human rights laws that they are above the law, the since the beginning of this inside the war, the service had been caught up at who are the service. they are then tired the course of this aided society. there are teachers, professors, students, doctors, medics, artist, right, there's journeyman, is these images the are not only directed to a small audience? the are directed to
12:56 pm
a broad audience. is amongst directors. his city will visualizing dehumanizing, but his opinions, these images and these, the view is entirely sure how it is really violence is also not the only data though it's, but it's been the livelihood, but also the material being so that houses did their belongings. a mean anything but it didn't exist, but it has taught us that the human is ation of subjects is essential because i'm fixing the violence, i think is a, it has a perfect fit. this in this course and in practice. but this is nothing new dates back to the beginning of this state to which by the student in so would expect to degree that human nature killed and effectively forcibly disappear. and finally, this past week, more than 50 international broadcast journalist signed a letter calling for free and unfettered access to gaza. the letter was addressed
12:57 pm
to the states responsible for cutting off the strip from the outside world, israel and egypt. since october, 7th, only a few for and reporters have made it into god's mostly those imbedded with these ready military. and they were not allowed to speak with palestinians, which left us to rely on the courageous work of local journalists and unprecedented number of them have paid with their lives. it is long past time, but israel and egypt let journalists in the awful scenes this past week and gauze, a city. these randy militaries massacre of more than a 100 palestinians who were lining up for food. simply underlines how important that journal this to access can be. we'll see you next time. here at the listening post, the landlords day in the race for the presidency,
12:58 pm
which they will see millions votes across the 15 states as super tuesday looks set to move joe biden. and donald trump, a step closer to a re match, stay with alger 0, so continue to cover it to the us elections 2020 the study and then a man showed vs auto pay . i like the last a lot of a lot of the lecture, the slide show a
