CBS News Discovers Gaza Needs Aid, Mid-Genocide
CBS News, in a dazzling display of journalistic timing, reports on Gaza's aid needs, interviewing a representative from the U.N. Agency for Palestine Refugees. While spotlighting the suffering, the segment, as usual, skirts around the uncomfortable questions: who exactly created this 'aid and recovery' situation? And why has US President Biden, who recently approved a $15 billion arms transfer to
Israel (Senate bill HR815, Mar 23, 2024), conveniently ignored calls to condition aid? It’s almost as if discussing 'recovery' without mentioning the direct, ongoing role of a US-backed military in creating the devastation is less 'reporting' and more 'public relations' for an ongoing humanitarian catastrophe. Perhaps their next segment will cover 'fire prevention' tips while the house is still
actively burning.
