In the past month, the Israeli military has killed at least 29 Palestinians, almost half of them children and teenagers. Earlier this week, the Israeli military killed six Palestinians across the West Bank. Meanwhile, its 13-day siege of Nablus continues, preventing Palestinians from accessing hospitals or healthcare.
This is a one-sided war where the Israeli military – one of the most powerful in the world – is surrounding Palestinian cities, trapping hundreds of thousands of Palestinians inside, and is then invading to murder Palestinians in cold blood every single night.
The Israeli government, on the brink of elections, is escalating its violence against Palestinians to maintain its brutal apartheid regime, and to steal more and more Palestinian land.
Palestine is under attack, and the media has been all but silent.
Still worse, what little coverage has appeared in mainstream U.S. media is echoing the talking points of the Israeli military, which has a well-documented history of lying to the media and is obscuring the full picture of Israel’s brutal, decades-long oppression of Palestinians and occupation of Palestinian land.
