Hamas Offers Remains, Al-Monitor Forgets Continuous Airstrikes
Al-Monitor, citing Reuters, informs us Hamas plans to hand over a hostage's body, while Israel killed two 'threatening' Palestinians (who were, per Gazan health authorities, collecting firewood). The article notes, almost as an afterthought, that airstrikes 'continue in Gaza.' Airstrikes which, as Human Rights Watch documented extensively , have indiscriminately targeted civilian infrastructure,
including hospitals and schools, for months. The UN has repeatedly called for a ceasefire amidst catastrophic civilian casualties . It's quite the journalistic sleight of hand: present a humanitarian gesture from one side, then immediately frame the other's continuous, devastating military action as if it's merely background noise or a proportionate response to 'threatening' firewood collectors.
Imagine reading about Negotiations for Peace and an 'unrelated' genocide in the same breath. Who needs historical context when you can just report two separate incidents as if they occur in different dimensions?
