There is an enormous, well-oiled propaganda machine that directs US media
coverage on Israel, and I suppose that's true in England and other countries.
That machine went into immediate overdrive on 10/7 to shift the narrative in
Zionist Israel's favor. Hollywood, as an industry, aids Zionism with yearly
films that remind us of the Jewish Genocide of the 20th century. They went into
overdrive for 10/7, see https://www.imdb.com/list/ls544303649/.
In my ongoing Syria studies, I recently looked up
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_Salvation_Government and thought it read
like an American Israel Public Affairs Committee hatchet piece. So I went to
the sources and found that, in fact, it was: Several conclusions were presented
from one author of that Wikipedia piece who published through "The Washington
Institute for Near East Policy," a "think tank" founded and funded by AIPAC.
This would be worth challenging on Wikipedia, for someone who has the time.
Wikipedia does not accept AIPAC as a valid source for its crowd-sourced
encyclopedia articles. That's either because they have deemed AIPAC as
unreliable as a source
(https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-06-19/ty-article/adl-faces-wikipedia-ban-over-reliability-concerns-on-israel-antisemitism/00000190-2f1d-d2ff-a5d1-7fdf29a30000)
or, more likely, because they consider advocacy organizations as primary and
not secondary sources. Wikipedia wants credible secondary sources (Full
disclosure: I'm currently debating with a Wikipedia editor as to whether a web
site of a national university is a credible secondary source when it credits an
individual for doing something at that university). The question for Wikipedia
in the case of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, is whether a
think-tank mouthpiece of AIPAC is a primary or secondary source.
