Despite what the media tells you, Palestinians still remain under total siege in Gaza. Food is restricted, aid is blocked, hospitals barely function, families are starving and people are being killed. Many news outlets still repeat the White House's claim that this a "ceasefire."
It's not a ceasefire if the firing hasn't ceased. Tell big news networks to STOP repeating this lie!
What's going on in Gaza is not a ceasefire. A ceasefire is peace, an end to violence. Calling the current situation in Gaza a ceasefire misleads the public and hides the reality millions of Palestinians are living through on the ground.
Every day, we still see horrifying headlines coming out of Gaza; from journalists being killed for doing their job to innocent children being shot while trying to get food and water. Journalists and media executives have a responsibility to the general public to report the truth clearly and accurately. Right now, they're buying into the Trump and Netanyahu propaganda machine and not questioning it.
The American people rely – and depend – on the media to report the real, unvarnished truth, not state-sanctioned propaganda. And the truth is that there is a genocide still going on in Palestine.
Ongoing violence, occupation and mass killing are still occurring every day in Palestine, and we can't turn a blind eye to the death and horror that millions of Palestinians live through. By obscuring the truth, the media frames this as a matter of debate, rather than a documented genocide under international law.
Take a moment to reach out to the big news networks, like Fox, ABC, NBC, MS NOW and CNN to stop calling this a ceasefire and start reporting openly and honestly on what Palestinians are living through on a daily basis.
In solidarity,
