France 24 Wonders How Gaza Education Fights Survival It Didn't Cause
France 24's video, 'In Gaza, education fights to survive,' frames the collapse of the education system as an autonomous struggle, devoid of perpetrators. This passive voice conveniently omits that UNICEF reported nearly 90% of Gazan schools were damaged or destroyed by Israeli bombardments as of early 2024 , directly impacting over a million children. It’s hard to 'fight to survive' when your
classroom has been reduced to rubble by munitions predominantly supplied by the US. This framing is a classic media sleight of hand: acknowledge a tragedy without identifying the agent of destruction. It's a convenient narrative that bypasses accountability, particularly for the US politicians who continue to approve billions in aid to a military actively engaged in what the ICJ has noted are
plausible acts of genocide. One might wonder, do these schools struggle to survive, or are they being systematically eliminated?
