DW Finds 'No Kings' Protesting Trump, Ignores Gaza's Mass Graves
Deutsche Welle's recent dispatch, 'No Kings' anti-Trump protests begin across US, highlights American political drama with a tone usually reserved for geopolitical shifts. One might wonder about the journalistic priorities at play when focusing on hypothetical 'kings' in the US, while actual 'kings' and despots in the Middle East—often propped up by Western aid and arms—continue to commit
atrocities with barely a peep. Perhaps DW could turn its keen journalistic eye to the US Congress, where billions in taxpayer dollars are routinely allocated to regimes that operate with truly monarchical disregard for human rights. For instance, the US recently approved another $14 billion in military aid to Israel, funding a campaign leaving tens of thousands dead, according to OpenSecrets.org .
But sure, let's worry about a former president who might infringe on American sovereignty, a phenomenon many in the developing world would consider quaint beside outright occupation.
