Russia's RT.com pushes one-state solution, insults Israel, US, Canada, Australia

RT.com, the Russian state-funded English-language media outlet, posted what is meant to be a humorous "rap news" piece that purports to give the truth about Israel. The show is created by two Australians.

The number of lies and slanders in this 7 minute piece rival anything in Arab media.



The piece shows a trigger-happy, kippa-wearing Netanyahu justifying Israel's existence based solely on Jewish suffering, wantonly killing a Hamas leader who was willing to recognize Israel. The Six Day War is shown as a malicious land grab and UNSC 242 is misrepresented as insisting that Israel return all lands, which Bibi says is antisemitic.His actions are justified by American media and John Kerry, afraid to say anything to offend Israel.

"The Map that Lies" makes an appearance, as does Norman Finkelstein to insult both the US and Israel.

The US, Canada and Australia are said to support Israel only because they are all genocidal states built on stolen land.

Palestinian Arabs are shown as pure victims of Israeli evil. The show goes on to say that treating Israel like South Africa and imposing a one-state solution is the only real answer and will turn Arab terrorists into Nobel peace prize winners.

It is easy to disprove literally every stanza of the "rap" but one cannot easily counter the fact that lies that are disguised as entertainment are accepted by viewers uncritically. People simply refuse to believe that they are being lied to explicitly, especially when the lies are what makes them laugh.

It is masterful agitprop in the mold of the Soviet playbook that has been the backbone of leftist anti-Israel propaganda for decades.
