Western Media Misrepresents Beit Lahia Protests As "Anti-Hamas" To Absolve Israel Of Genocide

NewsCord on Instagram: "Let’s talk about the Beit Lahia protests. Western media’s attempt to label them “anti-Hamas” is deeply misleading - and here’s why: The majority of placards and chants are demanding an end to the genocide. Palestinians are pleading for basic rights, food, water, and the right to live. Yes, some anti-Hamas chants are heard, but there’s no evidence to suggest these protests are solely “anti-Hamas.” By generalizing them, Western media shifts blame from Israel’s destruction of Gaza, its massacres, and its blockade that’s starving and suffocating the population. This narrative also fuels Netanyahu’s claim that “the plan is working,” emboldening Israel to justify the illegal occupation and ethnic cleansing of Gaza they openly advocate. Swipe through to see how the mainstream narrative differs, including a surprising Sky News excerpt that challenges the prevailing story.
