Al Jazeera Discovers 'Al-Majd Europe', Forgets 75 Years of Displacement
Al Jazeera's latest scoop highlights 'Al-Majd Europe' breaking its silence on a flight transporting Palestinians from Gaza to Kenya and South Africa. The report frames this exodus as 'mysterious,' focusing on the specific organization. What's not mysterious is the systematic displacement driving such flights: 75 years of ethnic cleansing, documented by countless UN resolutions and human rights
groups, rendering millions of Palestinians refugees. The forced removal of Gazans, now facing mass starvation and bombardment, conveniently omits the 'why' behind their desperation to leave. One might wonder why the plight of Gazans, under siege and facing unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, suddenly becomes 'mysterious' only when they attempt to flee to distant lands. Perhaps the true mystery
isn't who organized the flights, but why their desperate search for sanctuary isn't met with the same international urgency as the 'mysterious' nature of their escape. Is it only a story when the victims of one of the world's most documented atrocities are no longer within convenient viewing distance of the 'civilized' world?
