🚨 New study shows the New York Times, the Associated Press, the Washington Post, CNN, Politico, USA Today and Axios collectively used the term "savage" 16 times for the killing of Israelis, but never for the killing of Palestinians.
Likewise, "slaughter" appeared 120 times in relation to the killing of Israelis, but only once for Palestinians.
"Massacre" was used 344 times in relation to Palestinians killing Israelis, but never for Israelis killing Palestinians.
"Barbaric" was used 14 times to describe the killing of Israelis, but zero times in relation to the deaths of Palestinians.
The cable coverage displayed a similar pattern.
MSNBC, presenters and guests used
"massacre" 177 times, "barbaric" 46 times, "savage" 23 times and "slaughter" 102 times in relation to Israeli deaths.
They never called the killing of Palestinians "barbaric" or "savage". In relation to Palestinians, they only used “massacre" eight times and "slaughter" four times.
References to "savagery" and "barbarism" echo the logic of settler colonialism, identifying the uncivilised natives as a problem to be solved.

This takes courage…
The Strokes closed their Coachella set flashing images of the governments the CIA has overthrown, the leaders the US has assassinated including MLK 👀, the war crimes the US is committing in Iran, and the genocide Israel is committing in occupied Palestine.
@JohnJamesMI@realDonaldTrump Hey sycophant, you’re gaslighting is no different than the Biden administrations. Don’t those in power realize only Fox News boomers buy your shit these days?
@coachbrucepearl This is why MAGA is dead and people are leaving in droves. MAGA is now Mark Levin, Lindsey Graham, Laura Loomer, and Bruce Pearl. Basically the dumbest of neocon rejects.
If you believe that the US sent 155 aircrafts flying for 48 hours to evacuate two pilots, then destroyed a bunch of them because of wet sand, then i have a maga campaign to sell you.
On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.
Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.
I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.
I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this.
The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon.
You know who has nuclear weapons?
Israel.
They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it.
Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.
On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies.
Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.
Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace.
Not escalating war that is hurting people.
This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most.
This is not making America great again, this is evil.
@MarioNawfal Insane logic. Iran has no choice but to fight. No deal will stop America and Israel from attacking now or later. They currently have the advantage they may not have later, so this is their only option. To blame anyone but Trump and Netanyahu is asinine.
“If they didn’t spend on weapons…”
😴 It would’ve been so beautiful... Then we could’ve gone in, seized all their oil fields in 48 hours -48 hours, believe me- armed the Israelis with the best weapons, and created many, many new Gazas. The real “American Dream,” folks.
NEVER!
The United States has 2 choices.
1. Leave the Middle East and Abandon Israel to save the U.S. empire.
2. Dig the ditch deeper and commit Troops to a kill box in order to save the burgeoning Israeli empire.
Looks like our traitorous leaders have chosen a side…
Fun fact #1: Trump's new ultimatum expires in 5 days, just when the markets close
Fun fact #2: In 5 days USS Tripoli with 2,200 marines will be in position
@ScottJenningsKY Absurd logic. Their retaliation is now being used to justify the Israeli/U.S. war of aggression in the middle of negotiations? Get real.
@AsherOrkaby@WSJopinion We have heard from the Houthis. They’ve told us they’re preparing to enter the battlefield. However, I don’t think anyone expected Iran to do this well in the fight; this quickly. As long as Iran keeps holding their own, Houthis can delay.
