Hostages tortured to death. Parents executed in front of their children. Doctors beaten. Babies murdered. Sexual assault weaponised. No, not Hamas crimes. This is part of an ever-growing list of documented atrocities committed by Israel in the five months since 7 October ā quite separate from the carpet bombing of 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza and a famine induced by Israelās obstruction of aid. And yet while the western establishment media has been chock full of the most lurid allegations of savagery directed against Hamas, sometimes with little or no supporting evidence, Israeli atrocities are excused or quickly forgotten. Accusations against Hamas are endlessly reheated to paint a picture of a supremely dangerous and bestial militant group, in turn rationalising the slaughter and starvation of Gazaās population to āeradicateā it as a terrorist organisation. But equally barbarous atrocities committed by Israel ā not in the heat of battle, but in cold blood ā are treated as unfortunate, isolated incidents that cannot be connected, that paint no picture, that reveal nothing of import about the military that carried them out. If Hamasā crimes were so savage and sadistic they still need to be reported months after they took place, why does the establishment media never feel the need to express equal horror and indignation at equivalent or worse acts of cruelty and sadism being inflicted by Israel on Gaza ā not five months ago, but right now? Israel's torture of doctors, its sexual assaults of Palestinian women, it's leaving premature babies to die after its forces stormed a hospital. Where is the outrage? This is part of a pattern of behaviour by the western media that leads to only one possible deduction: Israelās five-month-long attack on Gaza is not being reported. Rather, it is being selectively narrated ā and for the most obscene of purposes. Through consistent and glaring failures in their coverage, establishment media ā including supposedly liberal outlets, from the BBC and CNN to the Guardian and New York Times ā have smoothed the way for Israel to carry out mass slaughter in Gaza, what the World Court has assessed as plausibly a genocide. The role of the media has not been to keep us, their audiences, informed about one of the greatest crimes in living memory. It has been to buy time for US President Joe Biden to keep arming his most useful of client states in the oil-rich Middle East, and to do so without damaging his prospects for re-election in Novemberās US presidential vote. If Russian President Vladimir Putin was a madman and a barbarous war criminal for invading Ukraine, as every western media outlet agrees, what does that make Israeli officials, when every one of them supports far worse atrocities in Gaza, directed overwhelmingly at civilians? And more to the point, what does that make Biden and the US political class for materially backing Israel to the hilt: sending bombs, vetoing demands for a ceasefire at the United Nations, and freezing desperately needed aid? Worrying about the optics, the president expresses his discomfort, but he carries on helping Israel regardless. While western politicians and commentators worry about some imaginary existential threat those brief events of five months ago pose to the nuclear-armed state of Israel, Israel is quite literally wiping Gaza off the map day by day, quite undisturbed.
The hope we had at the beginning for humanity is gone.
The joy we had at the beginning because finally the Western world understood what was happening in Gaza for years...gone
Any respect we had for the modern world? A joke.
Any respect I had for Egypt and Arabs? Replaced by so much shame, I no longer will defend them.
The only hope we have left is Allah and ourselves.
Keep praying. Keep posting. Keep boycotting. And if you can, start your own revolution.
If you live in a country that won't take you to jail for it, make a stand. Take a walk with a sign. Raise your voice in a conference.
Boycotting works!
In Egypt, it was the least we can do. And the changes were insane. McDonald's was throwing statements left and right about how the branches in Egypt had nothing to do with supporting Israel. Their sales still plummeted by 70% ! Their branches are virtually empty except from tourists.
Pepsi ? They had to rebrand by multiple different names to foul people into buying! And Coca-Cola is worse.
Small businesses went up by 300% in profits. A local soda producer that replaced Pepsi had to even go in public and ask the people to wait because he can't keep up with the demand.
That's boycotting. A small dent in the system, but still a difference. McDonald's in Jordan promised to send donations to Palestine. Others simply stopped supporting Israel in public.
I believe we need a more aggressive way of protesting. I don't mean violence. Just something to shake the system more... vigorously?
Do what you can. Please. Children's lives depend on it.
Stand on the right side of history. Find something to answer Allah on judgment day
