THE PROPAGANDA PLAYBOOK OF ISRAEL & THE U.S.
July 6, 2024Viet Thanh Nguyen, an American professor and novelist, exposes the US and Israel’s propaganda strategy.
“There’s a text that’s being said by Israel, the US and supporters of Israel saying we’re doing this for self-defence, we’re doing this for humanitarian reasons, we’re doing this to prevent antisemitism and so on. And yet, there’s a very clear subtext we all can see: the bombing that’s taking place, the massacres and so on. And I find it so absurd that somehow those of us who can see the subtext are supposed to ignore it and just focus on the text.”
Brilliantly said!
Actions, particularly in the case of genocide, speak louder than words.

English Script:
Viet Thanh Nguyen: Everybody can see all the atrocities being committed that you’ve described. But intention…People would say: “But there’s no intention. There’s no proven intention that Israel is a state, is deliberately engaging in genocide”. I disagree with that idea, obviously, because there have been many genocidal statements given by Israeli ministers, political leaders. We have intentionality displayed in the videos that, Israeli soldiers themselves have recorded. But I find this experience really strange to think about as a human being, but also as a writer, where there’s a text that’s being said, spoken by Israel, the US and supporters of Israel saying: “We’re doing this for self-defense. We’re doing this for humanitarian reasons. We’re doing this, to prevent antisemitism”, and so on. And yet there’s a very clear subtext. We all can see the bombing that’s taking place and the massacres and so on. And I find that so absurd, that somehow those of us who can see the subtext are supposed to ignore it and just focus on the text. And that’s provocative for me as a writer, to think about the capacity of literature, filmmaking, art, to try to respond to this.
