2024 Drum Corps Season Wrap-Up

With the completion of the Drum Corps International World Championships on August 10, the 2024 North American drum corps season has come to a close. While it is earlier than we are used to now that all-age ends on the same day as junior corps, the season was a significant success for the activity. Congratulations to the champions of all DCI classes:

I didn’t get to as many shows this summer as I usually do, but I was able to get some good performance photos and write up my coverage at the shows I was at. Hopefully, next season’s schedule will line up better with my own.

This time, mandatory fee funded #ARD’s @tagesschau 🇩🇪 at least bothered to mention the attacks (usually, it needs either at least one killed Jew or multiple non-Jewish victims for them to report anything with regards to #Palestinians), but, as always, failed to name them accordingly; to them, they are simply “ #military operations ” – sounds so “clean”, doesn’t it? And of course they always implicitly justify those actions, while never giving honest context for what the #resistance (so rarely they even dare to use this term) does! #Protests they call “disturbances” or similar, remarks like “ #Jenin is considered a stronghold of #militant Palestinians,” are included by default. However, they regularly leave out to clearly and consistently mention that the victims were Palestinians and also quite often that they, of course, were shot or “blown up” by #Zionist forces (and nobody else), clearly on purpose and usually without sufficient (if any) #necessity. Witness testimonies don’t make it to their “reports”, and statements by Palestinian officials or media are presented as rather doubtful while the official Zionist “ #narrative ” is usually quoted in a way that makes it sound rather plausible and therefore “believable”, but no fact checking on the ground is ever done by #tagesschau staff.
Attributing properties like “militant” or “ #radical(lly #islamic ” to resistance members and groups, but not to the Zionist forces, completes their disingenuous portrayals.

These are the English translations for the original and the improved headline:

“West Bank and Gaza Strip

Several Palestinians killed in military operations”



“Occupied 🇵🇸: West Bank and Gaza Strip

Six Palestinians killed in 🇮🇱 assaults, many injured”

40+ injured/wounded, some critically, as far as I know.

The Zionist assassin/suicide #drone(s?) used to extralegally execute human beings isn’t mentioned at all (as neither are #rockets etc. against soft targets like houses), so #UAV and/or #helicopter usage, in the words of those German #propagandists, become just “a drone having been used”, hiding Zionist #brutality and disregard for human rights and international law. At the very least, there’s always more to the story than what the German audience is supposed to know. For example, you might wanna read: https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20230921-israel-undercover-forces-kill-palestinian-child-after-he-discovers-operation-in-jenin/

« The [ #DCI ] report stated that “ #Rafat [15] fled, yelling, ‘Special Forces! Special Forces!’ One #Israeli soldier chased Rafat and shot him in the abdomen from a distance of 10 meters”.
The #Occupation forces then shot at the boy again, as a #Palestinian man came to his aid and “threw himself on top of Rafat and rolled him toward his house, less than five meters away. The man and his family sheltered Rafat for about an hour and a half as the #Israeli military prevented #ambulances from accessing Jenin refugee camp.”



The human rights group acknowledged the killing of Palestinian #minors as a common practice by Occupation forces, stating in its report that “Investigations and evidence collected by #DCIP regularly suggest that Israeli forces use lethal force against Palestinian children in circumstances that may amount to #extrajudicial or wilful #killings”. »

The third image shows my “favorite” of their standard and oft repeated #lies: “more than 190 Palestinians [just] died [!]” etc.; “more than 190” is obviously their phrasing for 240+, including 46 #children.

Oh, and do not foolishly expect German #media to ever call the June 1967 #war a war of Zionist aggression – this term is reserved exclusively for #Russians, #Arabs and countries identified as “ #Muslim ”.
