US Media Wonders if Gaza War is Over, Ignores How It Started
The question of whether an 'end' to Israel's assault on Gaza is near conveniently sidesteps how the 'war' began: not October 7th, but 75 years of ethnic cleansing, displacement, and collective punishment. Washington, DC continues to greenlight Israel’s military campaign, with Rep. Steny Hoyer, who received $112,000 from pro-Israel PACs in 2022, championing additional aid packages while Gaza
starves. (One wonders if the 'peace proposal' involves more settlements.) How many 'ends' to 'conflicts' do we need before the 'beginning' is finally acknowledged? The U.S. media's amnesia is as strategic as the bombs it fails to highlight. (Perhaps next, they'll ask if an end to Indigenous displacement in North America is in sight.)
