There’s a post on the NYT but what about other media in the US?
True. I’m not talking about big statements in one direction, but more subtle coverage. This has impact, however. Examples I’ve noticed. Very limited photos of Israel’s atrocities. Frequent personal stories and photos of Israeli and Jewish victims, with very limited ones about Palestinians Use of passive voice when describing atrocities Referral to the conflict as a ‘war’ (implies equality) ‘with Hamas’- as if Israel is fighting with Hamas, and not slaughtering innocents I’ve been listening to public radio the last two days and even they do this - 1. A long personal piece yesterday on an iraqi Jew who was forced to leave Iraq in 1969. 2. Segment from someone arguing that Gaza is not a genocide, and that plenty of food has been delivered. 3. References to the ‘war against Hamas’ 4. Passive voice ‘gazans are suffering hunger’. Not ‘Israel is starving Palestinians’ |
| True |
Agree true, but I genuinely do not understand why. I know AIPAC and other Israel/zionist lobbies buy politicians, and so maybe it is all about money. And the contractors that profit after wars we get in for Israel. But I genuinely do not understand why. It boggles my mind why we do so much for Israel, when they cost us so much. |
I don’t understand either. That’s why the public radio segments i listened to surprised and disappointed me especially… they spent more time on a piece about an Iraqi Jewish man recalling an (albeit horrible) situation from 1969 than coverage of thousands *currently* being starved. |

True. And it’s sad and unfortunate. It also makes me wonder about the impact of AIPAC and the Jewish groups in involved in doxing the protesters (Canary Mission).
My father is Jewish and I am no antisemite so I feel bad saying it’s the $$$ because that plays into the Jewish troupes out there of the craft manipulative Jew BUT I also cannot understand what else it can be. My husband says it’s because Israel is our ally in the Mideast and crucial for defense/miliatrary i telligence, but Qatar and Saudi Arabia are all buddy buddy with Trump so I just don’t get the government and media’s blind allegiance to Israel.

| Zionist network of temples driving US policy is the Jewish version of the Christian network of homophobic churches driving US policy. That's democracy. |
With bonus racism against brown people who have no right to live on their ancestral lands. If Israel were located in Northern Ireland, the story would be a bit different. |
| Those “innocents” voted in terrorists that tortured and murdered innocent people first. Terrorists that they’re still supporting today. Why did you leave that part out? |

Public radio infuriates everyone because they give a voice to everyone.
NPR is apparently both radical Zionist and a member of the Global Intifada https://www.npr.org/sections/publiceditor/2024/04/17/1245346337/the-relentless-focus-on-gaza |
You're right. Netanyahu and his War Cabinet should be in prison. |
Right. Any person of conscience knows and agrees that the IDF are terrorists, who have been torturing and murdering innocent people for quite some time, and those terrorists are still being supported by a majority of Israelis today. |
And further train the children to hate and kill Jews |
And what do you think the IDF is doing? Every accusation is a confession from Zionists, brainwashed from their "birthright Israel" trips. |
Jewish children learn to fear sirens and sneak attacks |
