The U.S. Media Has A Palestine Problem

Israeli occupation of Palestine tends to be a touchy subject for news media, so much so that they break journalistic standards and writing etiquette just to avoid implicating one party over another — which still seems to end up working out in Israel’s favor and never Palestine’s. That’s led to a media environment that can’t clearly call out the ethnic cleansing and apartheid inflicted upon Palestinians, doesn’t point to context when talking about the results of decades-long oppression and displacement, and can’t help but equivocate about two disproportionately affected populations. But maybe that’s starting to change. Sana Saeed looks at what U.S. media coverage has gotten wrong about recent events in Gaza, Sheikh Jarrah and occupied Palestine, and offers her own media critique. #palestine #israel #gaza Watch the latest from AJ : Subscribe for more videos: ( Host & Senior Producer: Sana Saeed Producer: Nicholas Garbaty Editor: Ahmad Assad Camera: Ahmad Assad, Kutlay Dede Senior Motion Graphics Designer: Vivian Chang Post-Production Lead: Nanako Pierce Executive Producer: Sarah Nasr Special Thanks: The United People of Twitter Subscribe for more videos: Sign up for subtext, our newsletter about the people and movements driving change in our society: Follow us on Instagram: Like us on Facebook: Follow us on Twitter:
