On LCI, researcher Rym Momtaz is immediately interrupted as soon as she exposes a truth about Israel

Tell a truth about Israel is enough to trigger an immediate interruption. In the show 24 hours Pujadas On LCI, Rym Momtaz, a geopolitical researcher, was systematically prevented from developing her remarks as soon as she mentioned Israeli war crimes or the absence of proofs put forward by Tel Aviv. Facing it: an unbalanced media device, three against one, where Jean Quatremer – assumed propagandist of Israeli criminal policy – has cut it tirelessly, supported by a tray formatted to prevent any dissonant word. A revealing sequence: Exposing a truth about Israel is to be immediately interrupted.

“This Israeli government is advancing a lot without giving evidence,” tries to explain Momtaz, notably evoking the strikes against Iran and the diplomatic initiatives that Tel Aviv wanted to torpedo. But Quatremer does not let her go to the end. Pujadas tries to give him back, in vain: the opponent hastens to drown the exchange, using verbal intimidation.

When Momtaz asks for “Israeli evidence” on strikes against hospitals, Quatremer is indignant: “It is better to believe Hamas than Israel, which is a democracy? A classic rhetorical pirouette that has only one goal: to disqualify the interlocutor without responding to the substance. “John, I don’t allow you to tell myself that,” she replies. On this set as on so many others, the facts do not have their place when they disturb. What matters is the line: denying the evidence, defending the indefensible, making up crimes in military necessity. Any truth about Israel becomes a target.
