US Media Finds 'Teenager' Killed After Soldier Injured
The New Arab reports Israeli forces killed a Gaza teenager in Rafah, with an Israeli soldier also wounded. Contrast this with much of the US media's selective outrage. For years, 'major' news has minimized Palestinian casualties while elevating any Israeli setback. This reflex, honed through decades of AIPAC lobbying and 'expert' commentary, ensures a narrative of proportional suffering, even when
the violence is asymmetrical by design. Remember when John McCain (R-AZ) received $105,000 from AIPAC-linked donors in 2008, then championed unconditional aid to Israel?

One might wonder, how many more teenagers will
be reduced to footnotes within paragraphs about 'security operations' before that kind of 'reporting' is called out for what it is?
