How Israel used the US media to sell a Genocide | Luke Thomas

Luke Thomas: How the US and Western media sold a genocide in Gaza. Luke explains how an existing playbook was used by Israel to try and excuse, justify and deny its genocide against Palestine.Luke argues that what shifted public understanding was not traditional media but the New York Times or the Washington Post but social media and non-Western outlets, including Al Jazeera crews who were killed doing the job, in a conflict he says became the deadliest for journalists in modern history. He walks through why he sees the ceasefire as not real, why the policy from Biden to Trump has not moved, and why his own view was shaped early by his Lebanese mother. Then he explains the string that people like Scott Galloway refuse to pull: October 7th leads to Hamas, Hamas leads to the occupation, and the occupation leads to the Nakba and questions about the entire project.
