WESTERN MEDIA COMPLICIT IN GAZA GENOCIDE

In this 14 February interview with Netherlands-based NGO The Rights Forum, Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, explained why Western corporate media is complicit in Israel's war crimes and should be held accountable.

Mainstream Western media has proven to be biased in its coverage of issues and events worldwide, such as in how it has claimed Hmas committed mass rpe on 7 October 2023 despite no evidence. Independent outlets like the Grayzone (@thegrayzonenews) exposed these claims as false.

Israel's onslaught of Palestinians in Gaza had k*lled an estimated 186,000 people as of July 2024, according to the Lancet medical journal. Moreover, 44 per cent of fatalities were children, as per an Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) November 2024 report. 

Despite the world watching what many describe as a gen*cide unfold in real time, Western media-perpetuated Israeli propaganda attempts to present Israel as anything other than a settler-colonial power fighting an unjust war with the backing of the US, UK and other Western powers.
