ABC Admits to Using Fake Footage of Kurdish ‘Slaughter’ by Turkey to Push the Pro-War Agenda of the Establishment

ABC News aired a video that they claimed was Turkish forces committing “slaughter in Syria” against the Kurds, who helped defeat ISIS, but the video footage was really from a machine gun and military weapon show that took place at a gun range in Kentucky in 2017. ABC News admitted the “error.” James Corbett explains that the pro-war media objected to President Trump removing 1,000 US troops from Syria, and has been caught lying again to the American public to keep the wars going. Corbett gives numerous examples of other times that the media has been caught using propaganda and lies to manipulate the public.

Israel Bombed Syria on Christmas After US Began Removing Troops Out of the Area

Russia accused Israel of violating Syria’s sovereignty and threatening two civilian flights near the airport when Israeli launched air raids in Damascus. It appears that Israel was applying the same strategy it used in September when it tricked Syria into accidentally firing on its own allies.

Israel’s F-16 planes were launched out of Lebanon. Israel says its F-16 fighters jets were targeting Iranian forces inside Syria and that they flew near the airport only to protect themselves from anti-aircraft fire. As the US withdraws its troops, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is warning that Israeli attacks will intensify to prevent Iran from expanding its influence in the area. Turkish forces are moving toward the Syrian border where the US-backed Kurds are in control.

Following reports that Israel is plotting a full-scale offensive in Syria (after years of carrying out airstrikes on Iranian or Iranian-affiliated targets south of Damascus), Russia on Wednesday accused the Jewish state of endangering the lives of civilians during a Christmas Day bombing raid carried out by Israeli F-16s flying out of Lebanon.

According to Al Jazeera, Russia accused the Israelis of violating Israeli sovereignty and threatening two civilian flights landing at a nearby airport in Damascus during attacks on targets allegedly affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the Damascus countryside.

“We are very concerned by the attacks and how they were made. This is a gross violation of the sovereignty of Syria,” the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Wednesday.

“The provocative actions of the Israeli air force…directly threatened two airliners,” Russian defence ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.

Syrian state media claimed it intercepted most of the Israeli missiles. Israeli, for what it’s worth, has denied that it planned an attack, saying that its fighter jets were merely protecting themselves from anti-aircraft gun fire.

Americans Peacefully Protesting at the Turkish Embassy in Washington DC, Violently Attacked by Turkish Security Guards

Last week, President Trump armed Kurdish fighters in Syria in the fight against ISIS.  Turkey, however, is fighting the Kurds inside their country and on their border.  While Turkish President Erdogan met with President Trump at the White House, Erdogan’s security detail and body guards crashed a peaceful demonstration at the Turkish Embassy that was organized by Kurdish and Turkish Americans who oppose Turkey’s attacks on Kurdish fighters in Syria.  Eleven people were injured and two were arrested. –GEG
