The Slow Death of the West

(Substack) Maj. (ret.) Andrew Fox - The Hamas spectacle of returning four black coffins, gleefully broadcast by news networks, was intended to incite horror in those who oppose them; and jubilation in their supporters. Two were of young children who, together with tens of thousands of Gazans, would be alive today had Hamas not abducted them as part of their Oct. 7 slaughter, rape and mutilation rampage. The subversion of truth and the weaponization of lies against the Jewish state is not new, but post-Oct. 7, it has taken on a new dimension. In unfair and shameless attacks on Israel defending itself, and through the media presenting Hamas's lies without question - the "starvation," the "war crimes," the "genocide" - Western media was complicit in the death of the Bibas family and the death of truth itself. International "law" has been weaponized. The West's enemies have worked out that while we try to abide by the rules, they need not. They will face no consequences for abusing it with spurious genocide cases in the International Court of Justice or baseless charges in the International Criminal Court.
