Palestinians as ‘The Others’
Across the media and political class there are entrenched double standards over the value of Israeli and Palestinian lives, argues RALPH NADER
THROUGHOUT history, military empires have reduced their victims, their subjugated, and their abducted to a state of “The Others.” The political and mass media institutions usually follow suit by supporting their empire’s predatory policies with slanted coverage.
Such is the case with the US global and the Israeli regional empires. The US federal government and the mainstream media often move in lockstep.
For example, take the word “terrorism.” The New York Times regularly refers the Hamas regime as “terrorists,” while describing the far more extensive Israeli acts of state terrorism as “military operations.”
