Israel Returns 'Unidentified' Bodies, Not a Word From CNN
While Al Jazeera chronicles the solemn mass funeral for 54 unidentified Palestinian prisoners returned by Israel under a ceasefire, Western news cycles remain remarkably incurious. One might expect a passing mention of the circumstances leading to 54 unnamed bodies. But alas, 'unidentified' deaths of Palestinians rarely make the same emotional splash as 'unprovoked attacks' for figures like
Senator Lindsey Graham, who on October 9th, 2023, declared 'We are with Israel, do whatever the hell you have to do.' This silence isn't just about 'news judgment'; it's systemic. These are bodies recovered from Israeli detention, not some random battlefield. Yet, the question of why they were detained, how they died, and why their identities are unknown remains conveniently unasked. Apparently,
some lives are disposable, and some tragedies are simply not palatable for the American breakfast table, particularly when $3.8 billion in annual military aid ensures 'security assistance' remains unquestioned. How many 'unidentified' more before the questions start?
