This is the norm in the US media -- and many Americans can be counted on to be not only ignorant on the issue but to repeat Israel propaganda verbatim. This is changing as younger people rely less on the corporate embedded press and as Israel goes out of its way to blatantly expose the monstrosity it has become. aas or the media, I hit on this with a letter to our local tentacle of Trib which managed to get published a couple of weeks after submitting it. --
The US media stands alone in continuing to present the situation in Israel as two sides anywhere near equal in responsibility or action. Much of the present violence can be clearly continuing attempt at mass evictions to force Palestinians from their homes in East Jerusalem. The continuing destruction of homes and even of COVID vaccine clinics in the West Bank, the expansion of land theft and illegal settlements, and the continuing attacks on religious gatherings at the Dome of the Rock are inexcusable human rights violations. The response by Palestinians, is in no way equal and is defensive. *Palestinians have the right to defend themselves*. They are the equivalent of the Warsaw Ghetto fighters of history. Israel has become an increasingly brutal racist apartheid state. The U.S., our President, and the embedded corporate media are complicit in underwriting and misreporting the present escalation of crimes by Israel. This must end. Any aid given to Israel must be tied directly to and dependent on human rights and international law. We must end our support for racism, Apartheid, and aggression by Israel or any other country receiving foreign aid paid for by our taxes. Whether here in Norfolk or in Jerusalem, we must stand against massive evictions, racist injustice and apartheid. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
