Washington-Sana
The American "The Intercept" website confirmed that the American media very rarely convey the true picture of the atrocities and horrific scenes that accompany any Israeli aggression against the Palestinians, pointing out that their coverage of the recent aggression on the Gaza Strip focused only on publishing pictures of the smoke-filled sky and the people of the Gaza Strip walking among the rubble ...to avoid publishing the photos of the victims and to completely avoid conveying the truth of what is happening on the ground.
An article by writers Alice Spane and Alice Sperry published by the site stated that the set of photos taken entirely from the sites of the events are not seen by the American public and are only circulated in the news photo rooms. Photographers in Gaza to the huge databases of Getty Images and the Associated Press's photo service.
The site added that by doing a quick search on Getty Images, for example, we got hundreds of recent photos, which appear to be an almost endless web of brutality that took place last week in the Gaza Strip, where pictures of children killed by Israeli bombing and pictures of funerals appear with their bodies raised on shoulders in the streets.
These images always come alongside the images chosen by the American media organizations, which are satisfied with conveying images of missiles flying in the sky at night, silent scenes of children walking among the rubble of their destroyed homes, and black smoke rising on the horizon.
The website pointed out that the photojournalists in Gaza take pictures inside hospitals and morgues, which gives them the opportunity to directly document the dead and wounded.. In the Getty Agency photos, we see the bodies of children wrapped in white cloth in rows in the morgue, which, although shocking and outrageous, presents A clear picture of what is caused by the Israeli bombing of crowded residential neighborhoods.
The Intercept added that these photos give the main feature of the unequal conflict, in which no Israeli was killed, and a Palestinian journalist commented, "In general... the international coverage and the American media do not show these scenes in which innocent children and women are killed."
Critics point to the stark contrast in the global focus on what is happening in Ukraine and its coverage of the Russian military operation as "unprovoked aggression" rather than "general conflict," a term in which they have extolled Israeli attacks against the Palestinians.
The article pointed out that the blackout on the issue of presenting the “life and death of Palestinians” in the Western media goes beyond the images that are chosen to tell the story.. Palestinians and foreign observers have always denounced the way in which the Western media is trying to “purify and whitewash” the crimes of the Israeli occupation entity and alignment with the Israeli narrative.
The website pointed to a letter signed by 500 journalists after the Israeli aggression on Gaza last year, in which they affirmed that the Western media's coverage of events in Palestine regularly reaches the level of "journalistic misconduct", as the media not only identifies with the Israeli position in the language it adopts, but also exaggerates the narratives. Israeli and Palestinian narratives suppressed.
The journalists added in their letter that the Western media's blackout on the oppression and repression practiced by the Israeli occupation authorities on the Palestinians constitutes a catastrophic failure for this media to maintain the standards of objectivity that the press industry is supposed to enjoy.
