Mainstream Media 'Discovers' Israel Kills Palestinians *Again*
The Financial Times, like so many esteemed outlets, reports that "Israel kills several Palestinians in Gaza strikes." This framing makes it sound like a discrete event, unrelated to the 75 years of displacement and violence, or the 17-year blockade that turned Gaza into an open-air prison long before these 'strikes.' It's not a strike; it is continuation. One might wonder at what point the
continuous 'strikes' stop being news and start being recognized as policy. We are told there was a 'fragile ceasefire,' as if equal parties were negotiating peace, not a besieged population enduring collective punishment. The article notes the deceased were "inspecting homes," (one would imagine their own, which is a key detail the FT glides over). This is the narrative of 'conflict,' when one
side has Iron Dome and F-16s, and the other can barely rebuild homes before they're targeted again. How many more 'fragile ceasefires' will be shattered before anyone states the obvious?
