Description

Since the Gaza ceasefire was announced, reports have been coming out describing the treatment of Israeli prisoners of wars (typically called “hostages”) and Palestinian detainees, focusing on conflicting narratives in international media. Those released on both sides have alleged torture, but the maimed bodies of released Palestinian corpses suggest particularly brutal treatment. CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour was forced to make an on-air apology after commenting about relative conditions faced by captives, which prompted debate over media bias and self-censorship. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger use this moment to critique Western media coverage of the Israel–Hamas conflict and its framing of humanitarian suffering on both sides.

I cannot even stomach speaking to a friend, an Israeli who has been living in America for decades, after she spoke her opinion on Palestine/palestinians…. It was like the most obvious propaganda was swallowed until there was no space for humanity.

For a journalist to apologize for telling the truth is an ugly made in hell.
