What constitutes genocide is clearly defined, and it is what we are witnessing in Palestine.

A protester holds a placard saying"This is not war, This is Genocide" during a demonstration in solidarity with the Palestinian people in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on October 22, 2023.

Palestinian journalists who have recently had their homes, families, colleagues, and places of work bombed by Israeli occupation forces continue to do interviews with Western media. No doubt they feel tremendous pressure to address rampant disinformation from the Israeli Defence Forces , to correct the media’s use of passive language, and to introduce words like “apartheid” to ahistorical reporting.

But you would not know this if you were simply relying on U.S. mainstream media sources. By continuing to frame this as a war between the State of Israel and Hamas, newsrooms across the country continue to break the backbone of journalistic integrity and ignore Israel’s pattern of dehumanizing Palestinians. that Israel’s assault on Gaza is a “struggle between the children of light and the children of darkness, between humanity and the law of the jungle.

Essential components in maintaining systems of oppression are the obfuscation of information and the amplification of the oppressors’ voice to incite violence and manufacture consent for genocide. We fail at our jobs when the telling of history uplifts the oppressor’s perspective and silences the oppressed. Audre Lorde knew this when she wrote about the U.S. government’s support of apartheid in South Africa and the interconnectedness of Black liberation across the globe.
