Israel is Continuing the Genocide – But the UK Media Will Not Tell You

- Israel is Continuing the Genocide – But the UK Media Will Not Tell You
by Hamza Yusuf, https://www.middleeasteye.net/
Israel is committing yet another war crime against Palestinians in Gaza, but news coverage distorts reality – downplaying its atrocities through omission and spin
–
A ceasefire does not mean that Israel has dropped its goal to annihilate Gaza. The mission remains the same, and the war crimes endure, including killings – the method just shifts. Now, the textbook starvation of the enclave is the weapon of choice. But the British public will not be privy to such details – not if they rely on the mainstream media to report them accurately.
–
In early March, as the first phase of the ceasefire was ending and the full withdrawal of Israel’s forces from Gaza was supposed to take place, Israel decided to block all aid from entering the territory. The media reported it but, characteristically, thinned out the details.
–
Israel is “stopping all aid into Gaza”, reported Sky News. Israel “blocks entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza”, read the online BBC headline. LBC’s article stated, “Israel halts all aid and supplies coming into Gaza”.
–
Missing from every outlet was the crucial added context: as concluded by Human Rights Watch (HRW), this was a flagrant violation of international law. Legal experts confirmed it constituted a genocidal act.
–
But the tried-and-tested strategy of propaganda by omission reigned supreme. Why provide the intricate details and allow readers to connect the dots about Israel’s cruelty when key information can simply be suppressed?

Propaganda by omission
Within days, Israeli officials were threatening to cut off electricity and water completely, imposing a total siege on Gaza, while continuing to displace more Palestinians from northern Gaza.
–
The Telegraph reported this proposal as a “hell plan”. Yet it apparently did not occur to journalists, researchers, or editors at the outlet to mention that Israel was threatening another complete siege of Gaza and further Palestinian ethnic cleansing.
