Israel’s “complete siege of the Gaza strip” is a war crime – and potentially an act of genocide.
Most U.S. news outlets are indifferent to the suffering of 2 million Palestinians in an open-air prison. The New York Times tells us that this new war demands “unity and resolve” from the U.S. and Israel — meaning even more U.S. military aid for Israel’s far-right government.
At The Intercept, we are committed to reporting the truth about Israel’s regime of apartheid, racism, and violence — and the U.S. support that makes these crimes possible.
My colleagues and I deplore all attacks on civilians, including those by Hamas — but we will not demand that Palestinian civilians answer for them. Whether this war lasts for days or months, we refuse to submit to the media groupthink that has too long tolerated an unconscionable status quo.
