[quote=Anonymous]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’ [/quote]
