Sen. John Fetterman (D-Penn.) called some of his colleaguesā quickness to blame Israel for the hospital blast in Gaza ādisturbingā in a statement Wednesday.
āItās truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza,ā Fetterman said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Remember Kids:
When the dominant force in a conflict commits violence against civilians it is due to the āfog of warā or seen as āunavoidable collateral damageā.
When the minority force in a conflict commits violence against civilians it is āterrorismā or āsavageryā.
Iām not condoning the use of violence against civillians in any capacity. However, this is the way that the power brokers manipulate the emotions of the ignorant unwashed masses in their own societies to justify their own atrocities.
Some form of this language manipulation tactic has been utilized as a catalyzing force to support the genocide of indigenous populations throughout all of human history.
Actually the term Fog of War describes a basic misunderstanding of events in war.
War has rules and killing civilians is against the rules. Doing so to freighten living populations is terrorism.
Hope this helps.
I know what it means. What Iām saying is that concept is then used as a justification for violence against civilian populations by the dominant force in a conflict.
The messaging around that violence is what matters in the context of your initial statement, and the dominant force in a conflict NEVER admits that what they are doing is also very much āterrorismā, and usually on a much larger scale.
