UK ‘mainstream’ media ignores desperate protest hours after event, while Israel’s genocide of Palestinians resumes
A woman draped in a Palestinian flag has set fire to herself outside the Israeli consulate in Atlanta in a desperate protest against Israel’s renewed slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza. Hours after the event, the UK media appears to be continuing to ignore the protest:
The Daily Express’s US edition mentioned the story – but framed the incident as a threat to Israelis, majoring on reassuring readers that consulate staff are safe.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Palestinians in Gaza have been killed and injured in a few hours as Israel resumed its mass bombing after the temporary pause for hostage exchange ended. Israeli soldiers reportedly also shot dead at least one young boy for celebrating the release of Palestinian hostages, who were being held by Israel without trial, as part of the exchange.
