"It’s not a “project” and it’s not “controversial.” It’s land theft and it’s ILLEGAL UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW" ... Deftly, time & time again, Assal Rad points out how our media has been writing it wrong, rather than righting a wrong:

"What Israel is doing to Palestinians:

 

 -Genocide 

-Ethnic cleansing 

-Occupation 

-Annexation 

-War crimes

 -Starvation 

 

What the media calls it: 

 

-Military operation 

-Relocation plan 

-Offensive 

-Settlement project 

-Takeover plan 

-Hunger crisis 

 

 This is complicity, not journalism."

.... " “Israel says” is not journalism. “Israel escalates genocide, forcibly displacing Palestinians under threat of death,” that’s your headline." Assal Rad

Assal Rad: "They’ve normalized daily massacres, but nothing is normal about this."  BREAKING: At least 64 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn on Wednesday, including 19 aid seekers, medical sources tell Al Jazeera.

Assal Rad: “Moves” They could have said land theft, annex, occupation, ethnic cleansing, forced displacement, genocide… But NYT went with “Moves.”

Assal Rad:

": Completes land-grab, annexes territory

 : Approves a controversial project"

"Also look at the striking difference in the image they use. For Russia, Putin looks like a cartoon villain. For Israel, Smotrich just looks at a map." Assal Rad

"“An exhausted military”

@CNN

is more concerned with how tired Israeli soldiers are from committing genocide than the state of their Palestinian victims." Assal Rad
