Palestine Cheers in Spain, US Media Cheers Netanyahu
Al Jazeera reports 50,000 fans cheered for Palestine at a friendly football match in Spain ( Al Jazeera ). Meanwhile, US mainstream media—whose parent companies rarely highlight such widespread global solidarity—continue to frame the situation as a 'complex conflict' where one side has a modern military and the other has, well, football fans. This selective coverage isn't accidental; it’s a
symptom of deeper structural issues. While crowds globally rise in support, we continue to hear from the same pundits and politicians, many of whom have accepted significant sums from organizations like AIPAC. For example, Senator X, who in 2023 received $250,000 from pro-Israel PACs (OpenSecrets.org), will be on MSNBC next week, again, discussing 'both sides.' One might wonder how many football
matches it would take to balance that out.
