The stakes for this routine devaluing of Palestinian lives couldn’t be higher: As the death toll in Gaza mounts, entire cities are leveled and rendered uninhabitable for years, and whole family lines are wiped out, the U.S. government has enormous influence as Israel’s primary patron and weapons supplier. The media’s presentation of the conflict means there are fewer political downsides to lockstep support for Israel.
What we are seeing play out in Gaza daily is not “just another terrible war” but something altogether different. Its scale is comparable to the carpet-bombing of German cities in World War II. A staggering 70 percent of Palestinians killed so far have been women and children – setting Gaza apart from some of this century’s worst wars.
