The ‘history’ that everyone ‘knows’ is lies.
18 July 2025, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)
On July 17th, Peter Haenseler, at the terrific news-site Sonar21, headlined “Genocide as ‘self-defense’ – Western media as accomplices to the genocide in Gaza”, and noted that
[Public opposition to] a genocide that is committed in the open and not only promoted by most Western media, but justified in such a way that opponents of this genocide – be they Jews or non-Jews – are attacked, vilified and threatened in the most disgraceful manner [is routinely being condemned by politicians, university administrators, and ‘news’-media; support for this genocide is being demanded].
It is not only difficult, but downright dangerous to stand up to [against] such a superior force. Nevertheless, we have decided to stand up. Imagine how you would like to answer the question of your grandchild sitting on your lap in 20 years’ time and asking, “Grandpa, what did you think about the time when babies were slaughtered in plain sight? – Why did everyone keep quiet? – Did you keep quiet too?”
It all began with a mendacious fairy tale.
I was born in Zurich in 1964 and since my earliest childhood the following axiom has applied: “The Israelis are the good guys and the Palestinians are terrorists”. This was instilled in us by our parents and teachers and we saw ourselves happily confirmed when we were allowed on television to watch our Israeli heroes defeating the evil Arabs in all the wars. Good prevailed, we were on the right side of history and sang Hebrew songs in religious education lessons at a Protestant grammar school.
“The Israelis are the good guys and the Palestinians are terrorists”
I was completely unaware that this view of things had nothing to do with reality. My friends and acquaintances felt the same way – for decades.
The whole world, which had similarly been raised with lies aboout Israel and the Palestinians, is finally now coming to realize that — as Haenseler documents in his article —
A genocide is being purchased.
We are touching a hot iron here and even the disclosure of the facts means nothing less than a frontal attack against a group that is so rich and powerful that they can (co-) determine presidential elections (Miriam Adelson) and manage not only to commit genocide against women and children in public, but also to present themselves as the victims and get the media to report positively on this monstrous behavior. This is the first time in human history that a genocide has been called a war.
In this extensive article, we formulate our opinions only after we have laid a foundation of facts that cannot be undermined even with all the money in the world.
Miriam Adelson poured 100 million US dollars into Donald Trump’s coffers. …
The Zionists deliberately mix up the terms “Zionism” and “Judaism” and use Judaism as a shield for their political intentions, which they realize by criminal means. As soon as criticism of the criminal actions of the Zionists arises, their critics are labeled as anti-Semites, not only by the Zionists, but by practically all Western politicians and media. …
There are many Zionists who are not Jewish. There are no figures, but estimates are passed around that say that 50% of all Zionists are not Jewish. The Zionists will of course dismiss this as a conspiracy theory. So let’s take a look at where money and power meet in the United States, in the current US government. In addition to the well-known large donation from Adelson to Trump, entire hordes of American politicians are bought in bulk, thus speaking and voting in the interests of Israel. In the current 119th US Congress (532 members), only 32 Jews are represented (6%), yet the American Congress, which consists of 87% Christians, has been voting staunchly Zionist since 1948 (figures: Pew Research).
To achieve a majority in Congress requires 50% plus 1 vote (266+1); thus at least 235 non-Jews together with 32 Jews determine the Zionist policy of the United States, which brings the non-Jewish share of Zionists in the US Congress to a whopping 88%.
Zionism: Profitable for American Zionist Politicians
These members can be described as Christian Zionists, e.g. Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Mike Johnson, Mike Huckabee [Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Charles Schumer, Nancy Pelosi] and many more. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) plays an important role in promoting bipartisan support. AIPAC is the only foreign-controlled lobbying organization in the US that does not have to comply with the foreign agent[s’ Registration] act.
Politicians such as Graham, Rubio and Johnson have received sizable campaign contributions from pro-Israel donors (AIPAC), averaging $125,000 for pro-Israel lawmakers compared to $18,000 for those more supportive of Palestine. The Gaza genocide is thus very profitable for their political supporters in the US. On the numbers: The Guardian.
Goal of the Zionists: Greater Israel
From Conspiracy Theory to Fact
The goal of the Zionists is much grander than the present Israel. The goal is the creation of Greater Israel. Until recently, anyone who spoke of this project was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. Today, however, the Zionists speak openly about their plans.
For example, Bezalel Smotrich, the Israeli finance minister in October 2024:
Bezalel Smotrich – Source: Times of Israel
“I WANT A JEWISH STATE THAT INCLUDES JORDAN, SAUDI ARABIA, EGYPT, IRAQ, SYRIA AND LEBANON.”
Bezalel Smotrich
Now at least the cat is out of the bag. …
The Israeli slogan “From the River to the Sea” is a deliberate concealment of the actual goal: for years it was insinuated that the Israelis’ territorial claims would extend from the Jordan (‘river’) to the Mediterranean (“sea”): However, they extend from the Nile to the Euphrates [in accord with Genesis 15:18-21, which alleged that God gave that territory exclusively to Jews, and then in Deuteronomy 7:1-2, etc., ordered the Jews to exterminate the Palestinians there — so, all believers in the Old Testament believe in these commandments for “the Jews” to commit what now is called by Palestinians the “Nakba”].
Cyprus in danger?
There are other maps circulating on the internet that depict the Greater Israel to be established on an even larger scale [so that, for some reason, some Zionists go even beyond what the Bible says], such as a map published by the Turkish news agency on October 10, 2024.
Quelle: Sigmalive.com
On this map, Greater Israel also includes parts of Turkey and Cyprus. I am publishing this map [see it at his full article] for one reason: for some time now, large areas of Cyprus have been bought by Israelis – they want a new, second Israel. The same thing happened in Palestine before the state of Israel was founded. …
Since the outbreak of the Israel-Iran war, thousands of Israelis have flocked to Cyprus despite the travel ban. …
And at the same time, Israelis are becoming more overt than ever before about the hatreds they harbor against all Palestinians, such as:
All help came too late for 29-year-old Ayoub Saber Abu Al-Hussain – he died of starvation.

Many Jews Oppose Zionism and Israel
Media Accuse Every Critic of Genocide, of Anti-Semitism
Hand in hand with the justification of the genocide committed in public, the Western media are fighting tooth and nail to prevent their mendacious conflation of Zionism and Judaism from being exposed. This is the case when Jews themselves point out these lies – and this is exactly what is happening now. …
I’ve just summarized, by excerpts in 1,300 words, that terrific 5,000-word article, by Haensler.
Those lies, that he described and documented, swept The West (America and its allies — especially in Christian Europe — which had actually perpetrated the Holocaust — no Palestinians did). All of us are, and have been, surrounded by them.
And there is lots more of essential history that is being hidden throughout the American empire, such as that the Cold War was started by America — NOT by the Soviet Union.
A 25-minute interview of Brian Berletic on July 15th, “U.S. Preparing for WAR ON CHINA, as Trump Extends War with Russia Through Europe –Brian Berletic” focused on Trump’s foreign policies continuing Biden’s (which continued Obama’s), so that the only significant changes have been in the rhetoric, the lies that the regime uses to deceive (“manufacture the consent” of) their political followers.
America and its colonies (‘allies’) continue this Cold War even after the Soviet Union ended in 1991. Colonel Douglas Macgregor headlined his video on July 18th, “8 Days to Nuclear War — Are We Ready? | COL. Douglas Macgregor” and he mentioned that the lying for these permanent wars is all hired. The politicians and media actually are doing the bidding of the billionaires, and no investments since 1991 have been even nearly as successful (profitable) as the corporate stocks for the suppliers of U.S.-and-allied (NATO’s) weapons, the corporations whose markets are those Governments — not any consumers but instead these Governments’ militaries, which buy these weapons. It’s hired lying, for these corporations’ sales-promotional purposes, and it might produce a nuclear blitz-attack in order to avoid being defeated in a merely conventional war. I have proposed a way to end that lying, and it doesn’t entail any censorship at all.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
