Zionist Talking PointsIAEA chief: ‘We can still have an agreement with Iran’
In this piece, the narrative of dialogue and potential agreement is emphasized, framing the relations between IAEA and Iran as open and non-confrontational. This creates an illusion of legitimacy and security, overshadowing the inherent coercion and restriction involved in international negotiations over nuclear programs. The language used, such as “right the boat”, implies a sense of harmony and mutual understanding, when in reality, the situation involves power plays and strategic maneuvering.
Furthermore, Grossi’s intention to seek the position of UN Secretary-General is presented without addressing the potential implications or biases this might bring to his current role. This creates a contradiction between the stated neutrality of his position and his personal ambition. The implication here is that Grossi’s actions and statements are strictly professional and unbiased, but this is not structurally grounded given his revealed political ambitions.

Macron: ‘Recognition of Palestinian state is defeat for Hamas’
Macron’s reassurance of Israel is presented without examining the inherent power dynamics and historical context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The language used, such as “reassure” and “recognition”, implies a sense of balance and fairness, while omitting the reality of structural violence and occupation. The term “security” is used to justify France’s stance, masking the violence and coercion under a rhetoric of protection and peace.
The presentation of the joint peace plan is done without acknowledging the lack of representation and consent from the Palestinian side. Macron’s claims of Hamas’ defeat and the plan for its political dismantling are examples of euphemistic language, disguising the reality of forced suppression and control under terms of peace and stabilization. Lastly, the contradiction of promoting a democratic renewal within the Palestinian territories, while supporting the exclusion of Hamas from future governance, reveals the constraints on true democratic processes.

Syria’s leader eyes security deal with Israel
This headline implies a mutual agreement and cooperation between Syria and Israel, downplaying the significant power imbalance and the history of conflict between the two nations. The term “security deal” is a euphemism for strategic alliances and political maneuvering that often involve coercion and restriction.
The outright rejection of normalization, while simultaneously discussing a security deal, presents a contradiction between the leader’s stated position and his actions. This discrepancy between words and actions is not highlighted in the article, giving an impression of legitimacy and consistency to the leader’s stance.

Singapore to sanction Israeli “settler leaders”
The use of the term “settler leaders” is a euphemism for those spearheading and benefiting from the occupation and annexation of Palestinian territories, effectively normalizing and legitimizing the act of settlement. The mention of sanctions implies a form of punitive action but does not address the structural violence and illegitimacy of the settlements.
While the article suggests a form of accountability through sanctions, it simultaneously undermines this by stating that recognition of a Palestinian state is a question of “when, not if”. This implies inevitability and a passive stance, rather than active support for Palestinian statehood, thus revealing a contradiction between Singapore’s apparent support for Palestinian rights and its actual actions.

Riots across Italy in support of Palestinians
The use of the term “riots” frames the actions of Italian protestors as chaotic and violent, rather than as a form of resistance and expression of solidarity with Palestinians. This language choice serves to delegitimize these expressions of dissent and to frame them as threats to public order, rather than legitimate political action.
The narrative of the Italian government’s support for Israel is presented without addressing the inherent contradiction between this stance and the widespread public support for Palestinian rights evident in these protests. By highlighting the violence of these protests and the government’s condemnation, the article obscures the structural violence of the Israeli occupation that these protests are responding to.

ABC returns Jimmy Kimmel Live! to air after suspension
The narrative of this article presents the pulling and return of the Kimmel show as an issue of timing and sensitivity, rather than addressing the structural issues of freedom of speech and censorship. The language used, such as “suspend” and “inflaming a tense situation”, frames the actions taken by ABC as reasonable and protective, avoiding the reality of the coercive power of the network in controlling the narrative.
The article also fails to interrogate the power dynamics at play between the FCC, ABC, and Kimmel. This lack of analysis obscures the structural coercion inherent in the threats made by the FCC and the affiliate networks. There is also a contradiction between the values of freedom of speech and the observable actions of the FCC and ABC in suppressing Kimmel’s monologue.
