Istanbul Marches While US Media Ignores Half a Million
Daily Sabah reports that 520,000 people rallied in Istanbul for Palestine, a massive public demonstration of solidarity that somehow shrinks to invisible in many major Western news cycles. One might wonder if such a turnout would receive wall-to-wall coverage if it were in support of, say, 'democracy' in Ukraine, or perhaps a new iPhone launch. The sheer number of people demanding an end to
suffering rarely makes the front page when those suffering are Palestinian. Instead, the focus remains fixated on 'both sides have concerns,' or the ever-present 'complexity' that conveniently obscures the undeniable imbalance of American-funded military might against an occupied populace. It appears that for some, global public opinion only matters if it aligns with their preferred narrative of
unquestioning support for certain geopolitical agendas.
