A lesson in branding and meaningless virtue signaling.

+++

Less than one month ago, on September 30, 2023, Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau stated: "Today, I encourage everyone to wear orange in recognition that every child matters...".

This campaign was and is specific to Canada to recognize and reflect on the ongoing legacy of the residential school system under colonization, upon Indigenous land still occupied to this day. Not dissimilar to the terror and ethnic cleansing endured by Palestinians who were displaced from lands under British rule. Land now occupied by Israel.

Shirts, flags and merchandise donning the logo "every child matters", created seas of orange from coast to coast. Government, NGOs, corporations, in tandem with media, promoted the campaign. For days, political posturing and virtue signalling flooded social media, airwaves, and sidewalks.

The "orange shirt day" is said to honour "the experiences of Indigenous Peoples, celebrates resilience and affirms a commitment that "every child matters." (Note it is a celebration of resilience – rather than resistance.)

Millions of citizens made a point of consuming and displaying merchandise in order to demonstrate to others that they held this value - that "every child matters", with politicians at the forefront.

Where are these people today?

Since Oct 7, 2023, the terrorist state known as Israel has murdered over 3,000 Palestinian children.

From millions wearing "every child matters" t-shirts, hanging banners and waving flags, to collective silence and complicity.

The empty marketing campaign (to placate genocide and appease white guilt) becomes transparent at once - true racist values remain firmly intact.

The hypocrisy is blatant. It is ugly.

It is unforgiveable.

It will not be forgotten.

"Queen Rania of Jordan: There's a 'glaring double standard' in how the world treats Palestinians"

"What happened in '48? It's the question that haunts the Israel/Palestine dynamic and defines so much of the conflict. This doc strips back the layers of myth, from denial to stories of mass genocide, telling the real story through the hidden remains of the destroyed Palestinian village of Lubya. Lying under a purposefully cultivated forest plantation, it holds many of the answers not only to the country's past, but also its future."

Canada: Member of Provincial Parliament Sarah Jama has been expelled from the NDP caucus for having the moral courage to tell the truth.

"Governments and institutions in Canada are trying to use their weight to silence us. To silence workers, students, educators, and peace-loving people who dare to support Palestine."

She did not lose a single patient, not even the most difficult cases. She noticed that vaccinations against Covid lose bifidobacteria, which leads to a weakening of immunity.

Artist Hiroyuki Hamada writes: "This particular conflict has been going on for generations. The narrative, Israel vs Palestinians, has been well greased to cycle safely within the western hegemony. Unless we get into the imperial dynamics of Israel being paid to serve the empire while the plight of the victims firmly normalized in imperial minds, there won’t be any change.

In the process of the narrative building, the anti-Zionist sentiment has been laundered into anti-semitism by the vast western institutions to drive the aggressor to escalate its violence. The characters of the resistance has been portrayed as barbaric. The notion of Israel vs Palestinians has been completely separated from the matter of the imperial hierarchy.

It has become a commodity within the west to take side and cheer on without any discernible change. So we have been observing people standing on either side virtue signaling without any effects to the actual sufferings of the people. So it is no surprise that we see someone like Greta Thunberg cheering on one side.

The crucial thing is to understand the mechanism. And to grasp the fact that the Israel as a proxy force is coming to an expiration date. It took 75 years, but resistance has been recognized, and the global dynamic is shifting against the imperial domination.

For the west, when the role of the proxy ends, the conflict must present an opportunity to intervene as a wise moderator or a crusader who embarks on a larger conflict. The role of the people here is to prevent both scenarios. The destructiveness of the imperial formation must be pointed out. That will liberate both people of Israel and Palestinians from the bloody imperial spell."

"CPJ warns Israeli war on Gaza ‘deadliest time’ for journalists on record"

"Westcott confirmed that so far, 24 journalists have lost their lives, according to CPJ’s count. Out of the 24, 20 were Palestinian, while three were Israeli and one was Lebanese.

However, these statistics represent just the tip of the iceberg. Westcott warned that CPJ is currently investigating around 100 additional reports of journalists killed, missing, detained, or threatened.

The Palestinian journalists, who have overwhelmingly borne the brunt of the fatal onslaught, are predominantly based in Gaza, where Israel has launched a brutal bombing campaign that has killed more than 7,028 Palestinians, including 2,913 children.

“They are incredibly vital to the world’s understanding of what’s going on on the ground in Gaza,” she stated."

"It was my duty to get back to work as quickly as possible, despite everything."

Remarkable speech from an MP who I know has a pretty full understanding of the wider dimensions, because I spoke with her for an hour in 2021.
It’s a decent speech from a standing start.
So far, we’ve Andrew Bridgen, Sir Christopher Chope & Esther McVey at least saying something.
Best wishes
