BBC drone footage of Gaza neighborhood destroyed by Israeli bombing.

BBC (10/11/23 ([link removed]) )

This week on CounterSpin: In the wake of the October 7 attacks by Hamas and the ensuing bombing campaign from Israel on the Gaza Strip, many people were surprised that CNN's Fareed Zakaria aired an interview ([link removed]) with a Palestinian activist who frankly described ([link removed]) the daily human rights violations in Gaza, the right of Palestinians to resist occupation and apartheid ([link removed]) , and how any tools of resistance they choose are deemed violent and punishable. Such statements aren’t controversial from an international law or human rights perspective, but they stand out a mile in elite US media suffused with assumptions ([link removed]) listeners will know: Palestinians attack,
Israel responds; periods of "calm" ([link removed]) are when only Palestinians are dying; stone-throwing is terrorism, but cutting off water ([link removed]) is not.

“War is not the time for context” still seems to be the mantra for many in the US press. But there is, around the edges, growing acknowledgement of the dead end this represents: showing hour after hour of shocking and heart-wrenching imagery, in a way that suggests violence is the only response to violence—when so many people are looking for another way forward.

We’ll talk with Phyllis Bennis from the New Internationalism ([link removed]) project at the Institute for Policy Studies.
