What if there was a genocide and the press decided there were more important things to cover each day?

Friend,
The official Palestinian death toll from Israel’s 314-day assault on Gaza has now surpassed 40,000 — a figure that U.N. officials say is made up of mostly women and children and likely a vast undercount.
Meanwhile, half a million are on the brink of starvation, a polio outbreak threatens, and health experts project that the total number of dead from all causes related to the war could easily reach 180,000.
Yet last Tuesday, in the face of what the U.N. calls an “endless nightmare of death and destruction on a staggering scale,” the Biden administration approved another $20 billion in new weapons sales to Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
Most Western news outlets dramatically scaled back their coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza in recent months, but Common Dreams remains committed to exposing the ongoing atrocities in Gaza every day, as well as the complicity of the U.S. as Israel’s primary weapons dealer and political patron.
As a nonprofit news outlet, our commitment to reporting this story is only possible because of the independence granted us by the support of readers like you.
