De media in de VS gingen wel het meest ver met hun smerige pro-Israël propaganda, nogmaals NB naar aanleiding van een ware slachting onder ongewapende Palestijnen en dat zijn toch echt ook mensen en niet een soort van plaagdieren, zoals Israël ze meer en meer ziet.......
Sinds 30 maart jl., toen de Palestijnen begonnen met de Great Return March zijn er meer dan 100 ongewapende mensen door Israël vermoord, waaronder: -11 kinderen, 2 journalisten en 4 mensen met een handicap..... (ja ja, 'echte helden' die Israëlische militaire scherpschutters....)
Nee in de ogen van de reguliere media in de VS zijn de Palestijnen barbaren die de 'heldhaftige' soldaten van Israël aanvallen. In een andere mediaorgaan, dat van Bloomberg werd zelfs gemeld dat de afscheiding tussen Israël en de Gazastrook het slachtoffer werd van Palestijnse agressie.... (je gelooft je ogen niet!)
Echter ook in de reguliere media in de rest van het westen, wijst men naar Hamas en de Palestijnen als de schuldigen voor deze slachting, alsof het één groot vakantieoord is in de Gazastrook, i.p.v. een openluchtgevangenis waar het de bewoners aan van alles ontbreekt, in de eerste plaats veiligheid tegen Israëlische terreur...... Een situatie die zo wanhopig is dat men toch gaat demonstreren ook al belooft Israël te zullen schieten op iedereen die een stap zet dichterbij dan 300 meter tot de afscheiding tussen de Gazastrook en Israël...... Ofwel: Israël schiet ongewapende demonstranten neer op het grondgebied van de Gazastrook, een enorme oorlogsmisdaad en een misdaad tegen de menselijkheid....

How American Media Blames the Victims of Israel’s Gaza Massacre

(FAIR) — Israel massacred
60 Palestinians on Monday, including seven children, bringing to 101
the total number of Palestinians Israel has killed since Palestinians
began the Great March on March 30. In that period, Israel
has killed 11
Palestinian children, two journalists, one person on crutches and
three persons with disabilities.
Monday’s
casualties included 1,861 wounded, bringing total injuries inflicted
by Israel to 6,938 people, including 3,615 with live fire. Israel is
using bullets designed to expand inside the body, causing maximum,
often permanent damage: “The injuries sustained by patients will
leave most with serious, long-term physical disabilities,”
says Médecins Sans Frontières (Ha’aretz, 4/22/18).
On
the 70th anniversary of Israel’s so-called “declaration of
independence,” the United States opened its new embassy in
Jerusalem—a city Israel claims as its own, despite what
international law says on
the matter—and Palestinians undertook unarmed protests
in reaction to the move and as part of the Great Return March.
Although to this point, the only Israeli casualty during the entire
cycle of demonstrations has been one “lightly
wounded”
soldier, considerable space in coverage of the massacres is devoted
to blaming Palestinians for their own slaughter.
NBC
(5/14/18) mentions “what Palestinians refer to as their ‘right of
return’”; actually, it’s what international law calls it, based
on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights‘ proclamation that
“everyone has the right…to return to his country.”*
Two
of the first three paragraphs in an NBC report
(5/14/18)
provided Israel’s rationalizations for its killing spree. The
second sentence in the article says that the Israeli military accused
Hamas of “leading a terrorist operation under the cover of masses
of people,” adding that “firebombs and explosive devices” as
well as rocks were being thrown towards the barrier.
A Washington
Post (WaPo) narticle
(5/14/18)
devoted two of its first four sentences to telling readers that
Palestinians are responsible for being murdered by Israel.
Palestinian “organizers urged demonstrators to burst through the
fence, telling them Israeli soldiers were fleeing their positions,
even as they were reinforcing them,” read one sentence. “At the
barrier, young men threw stones and tried to launch kites carrying
flames in hopes of burning crops on the other side,” stated the
next one, as though stones and burning kites released by
a besieged people
is violence remotely equivalent to subjecting people to a military
siege and mowing them down.
The New
York Times (5/14/18)
said that “a mass attempt by Palestinians to cross the border fence
separating Israel from Gaza turned violent, as Israeli soldiers
responded with rifle fire,” painting Israel’s rampage as a
reaction to a Palestinian provocation. Like FAIR (2/21/18)
has previously said of the word “retaliation,” “response”
functions as a justification of Israeli butchery: To characterize
Israeli violence as a “response” is to wrongly imply
that Palestinian actions warranted Israel unleashing its firing
squads.
A Yahoo headline
(5/14/18)
described “Violent Protests in Gaza Ahead of US Embassy
Inauguration in Jerusalem,” a flatly incorrect description
in that it attributes the violence to Palestinian demonstrators
rather than to Israel. The BBC (5/15/18)
did the same with a segment called “Gaza Braced for Further Violent
Protests.”
In
Bloomberg‘s account (5/14/18), the fence seemed to be the real
victim.
One Bloomberg article
(5/14/18)
by Saud Abu Ramadan and Amy Teibel had the same problem, referring to
“a protest marred by violence,” while another one (5/14/18)
attributed only to Ramadan is headlined “Hamas Targets Fence as
Gaza Bloodshed Clouds Embassy Move,” as though the fence were
Monday’s most tragic casualty. Ascribing this phantom violence to
Palestinians provides Israel an alibi: Many readers will likely
conclude that Israel’s lethal violence is reasonable if it is cast
as a way of coping with “violent protests.”
The
second paragraph of the Bloomberg article solely
written by Ramadan says that
Gaza protesters, egged on by loudspeakers and transported in buses, streamed to the border, where some threw rocks, burned tires, and flew kites and balloons outfitted with firebombs into Israeli territory.
This
author—like the rest in the “Palestinians were asking for it”
chorus—failed to note that Israel’s fence runs deep into
Palestinian territory and creates a 300-meter “buffer
zone”
between Palestinians and Israeli forces, which makes it highly
unlikely that the kites and balloons of the colonized will have an
effect on their drone-operating, rifle-wielding colonizers, let alone
on people further afield in Israeli-held territory.
The New
York Times editorial
board (5/14/18)
wrote as though Palestinians are barbarians against whom Israel has
no choice but to unleash terror:
Led too long by men who were corrupt or violent or both, the Palestinians have failed and failed again to make their own best efforts toward peace. Even now, Gazans are undermining their own cause by resorting to violence, rather than keeping their protests strictly peaceful.
The
board claimed that “Israel has every right to defend its borders,
including the boundary with Gaza,” incorrectly suggesting that
Palestinians were aggressors rather than on the receiving end of 100
years of settler-colonialism.
Moreover,
like the Times and Bloomberg articles
discussed above, the editorial attempts to legitimize Israel’s
deadly violence by saying that it is defending a border that
Palestinians are attempting to breach, but there is no border between
Gaza and Israel. There is, as Maureen Murphy of Electronic
Intifada(4/6/18)
pointed out, “an armistice line between an occupying power and the
population living under its military rule” that Palestinians are
trying to cross in order to exercise their right
to return to their land.
The
Washington Post (5/15/18) condemned the “cruel, cynical tactic”
of trying to exercise the internationally guaranteed right of return.**
A Washington
Post editorial
(5/15/18)
called the Palestinians hunted by Israel “nominal civilians.”
Apart from being a logical impossibility (one either is or isn’t a
civilian), the phrase illuminates how too much of media think about
Palestinians: They are inherently threatening, intrinsically
killable, always suspect, never innocent, permanently guilty of
existing.
A Business
Insider piece
(5/14/18)
by columnist Daniella Greenbaum described “Palestinian protesters
who ramped up their activities along the Gaza strip and, as a result,
were targeted by the Israeli army with increasing intensity.”
Greenbaum’s use of the phrase “as a result” implies that it was
inevitable and perhaps just that Palestinians’ “ramped up
activities” led to Israel mowing down a population it occupies, 70
percent of whom are
refugees Israel refuses to allow to return to their homes.
Greenbaum
then climbs into the intellectual and moral gutter, claiming that
absent from the commentary that children have unfortunately been among the injured and dead are questions about how they ended up at the border. On that question, it is important to recognize and acknowledge the extent to which Palestinians have glorified violence and martyrdom — and the extent to which the terrorist organization Hamas has organized the “protests.”
In
her view, dozens of Palestinians died because they are primitive
savages who take pleasure in sacrificing their own children, not
because Israel maintains the right to gun down refugees in
the name of maintaining an ethnostate.
In
a rare instance of a resident of Gaza allowed to participate directly
in the media conversation, Fadi Abu Shammalah wrote an op-ed for
the New
York Times (4/27/18)
that offered an explanation of why Palestinians are putting their
lives on the line to march. Life for the people of Gaza, including
for his three young sons, has been “one tragedy after another:
waves of mass displacement, life in squalid refugee camps, a captured
economy, restricted access to fishing waters, a strangling siege and
three wars in the past nine years. ” Recalling the concern for his
safety expressed by his seven-year-old child, Shammalah concludes:
If Ali asks me why I’m returning to the Great Return March despite the danger, I will tell him this: I love my life. But more than that, I love you, Karam and Adam. If risking my life means you and your brothers will have a chance to thrive, to have a future with dignity, to live in peace with all your neighbors, in your free country, then this is a risk I must take.
Palestinians
have a right to liberate themselves that extends to the right to the
use of armed struggle,
yet as Shammalah wrote, the Great Return March signifies a “nearly
unanimous acceptance of peaceful methods to call for our rights and
insist on our humanity.” Nevertheless, based on media coverage,
readers could be forgiven for concluding that it was Palestinians,
not Israel, who carried out what Doctors Without Borders called
“unacceptable
and inhuman”
violence.
