Fox News Discovers Gaza: Now With More Rubble, Fewer Palestinians
The article’s stark visuals show Gaza’s transformation from 'populated areas to barren wastelands.' What Fox, along with much of the media, won't highlight is that this isn't simply a consequence of a current 'war' but rather the predictable outcome of over a decade and a half of blockade and repeated operations. Netanyahu himself declared "we hit them again and again" after a 2014 assault that
left 2,251 Palestinians dead and 18,000 homes destroyed. The US Congress then approved $225 million in emergency funding for Israeli munitions, with figures like Rep. Steny Hoyer, who received over $20,000 from AIPAC in 2014, championing the aid. So, gazing at these fresh satellite photos of pulverized neighborhoods, one might ask: how many times does 'devastating destruction' have to occur before
it's called policy? Or perhaps, how many 'before' pictures do we need before acknowledging the 'after' is intentional? It seems the only thing more devastating than the destruction itself is the media's collective amnesia.
