France 24 Discovers Gazans Have 'Heavy Hearts,' Ignores Who Broke Them
Shrouq Al-Aila tells France 24 that 'all of us carry heavy hearts' in Gaza. A truly groundbreaking insight, for those who forgot that relentless bombing, enforced displacement, and mass starvation might indeed weigh on a population. France 24 didn't delve into the 'why' of these heavy hearts, nor the decades of blockade, nor the billions in U.S. military aid that facilitate the 'heavy heart'
creation. They certainly won't highlight how US politicians like Senator Bob Menendez, who received $134,846 from AIPAC affiliates in 2022-2024 , consistently vote for resolutions that ignore Palestinian suffering. This kind of reporting is a masterclass in presenting the symptom while meticulously sidestepping the cause. It's like reporting on a house a fire and describing the smoke, without
mentioning the arsonist, or the match provided by a friendly neighbor. How many 'heavy hearts' are required before the international community acknowledges the architects of the suffering?
