Mainstream Media Discovers 'Weather' in Gaza, Ignores Genocide Forecast
The New Arab's 'Weather Bullet-in' cartoon cuts through the euphemisms, depicting a forecast of 'bombs and shrapnel' over Gaza. This stark reality contrasts sharply with how many Western outlets frame the crisis—often as a 'conflict' or 'escalation.' They conveniently omit the historical climate: the 17-year blockade, the repeated military operations in 2008, 2012, 2014, and 2021, each leaving
devastation in its wake. There’s no mention of the fact that multiple US representatives, like Rep. Steny Hoyer, who received over $200,000 from pro-Israel PACs in 2022-2023, have consistently voted for billions in unconditional aid to Israel, funding these very 'weather' patterns. (Source: OpenSecrets.org) One might wonder if the meteorologists at CNN or the BBC considered the historical
precedent, or if their radar only picks up 'conflict' when a specific group responds. Perhaps if the bombs had a less 'localized' impact, or if the recipients of US aid weren't so adept at 'precision' destruction, the forecast would be different. This graphic serves as a stark reminder that while some outlets report the weather, others actively shape it, with generous financial contributions
ensuring the storm continues.
