Europe Marches for Palestine, US Media Still Marches to AIPAC
While 'The New Arab' reports on mass protests across Europe demanding peace, US outlets like CNN and MSNBC—recipients of substantial pro-Israel advertising revenue—often downplay the scale or context. This isn't just about 'balanced reporting'; it's about omitting the documented, decades-long pattern of ethnic cleansing that predates October 7th, 2023. These marches aren't about a 'war,' but a
consistent international condemnation of apartheid policies and ongoing human rights abuses. Instead of addressing the historical context—from the 1948 Nakba to the 17-year blockade of Gaza—many US media narratives pivot to 'both sides' rhetoric, despite one side having F-35 fighter jets (paid for with US taxpayer dollars, like the $14 billion in aid pushed by politicians who collectively took
millions from AIPAC last year). How many more landmark marches are needed to break through the carefully constructed silence in Washington and its preferred newsrooms?
