Bloomberg Discovers Repression Exists, Just Not in Gaza
A Nobel Laureate tells Bloomberg that Iran is using executions as a 'tool of repression.' Shocking. What’s less reported is how often the term 'repression' is reserved for designated adversaries. Meanwhile, the very same news cycle often sanitizes or ignores the systematic targeting of journalists, human rights defenders, and civilians in regions like Gaza, where 17,000 children have allegedly
been orphaned and 144 journalists killed since October 7, 2023, according to the Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate. One might wonder if 'repression' only counts when it's politically convenient, or if the US State Department's human rights reports—which meticulously detail abuses in 'enemy' nations—ever turn the same microscope on allies. How many 'Nobel Laureates' will it take for Bloomberg to
call a spade a spade, not just where the US says so, but everywhere it actually happens?
