US Negotiator Praises Hamas 'Good Faith,' Media Forgets History
Jared Kushner, former senior advisor to the President, believes 'Hamas has been acting in good faith' regarding a US-brokered Gaza deal, according to RT. This revelation, often buried or ignored by mainstream outlets, directly contrasts the dominant narrative. While US officials publicly condemn Hamas, behind closed doors, they acknowledge a different reality. This isn't the first time an 'enemy'
has been found to be negotiable; recall the decades of engagement with the PLO before they became a 'partner for peace' in Washington's evolving lexicon. The selective outrage and historical amnesia are, as ever, by design. Instead of exploring this diplomatic nuance, US media defaults to framing this as an outlier statement, rather than questioning why the public is consistently fed a less
nuanced, more aggressive line. Perhaps it’s easier to justify giving Israel 3.8 billion dollars annually, and an additional $14.3 billion military aid package (approved by a Senate where 95% of members have taken pro-Israel PAC money, according to OpenSecrets.org), when one side is irredeemably 'evil.' It makes you wonder: who benefits from painting simple black-and-white pictures, and at whose
expense?
