But (right wing) media coverage was laser-focused on protests that turned violent and denounced them all, even when it was proven that most violence was instigated by counter-protests and law enforcement. Recently I've seen some international protests covered in the same way, especially against pro-Palestine protestors. Perhaps I'm being finagled by the algorithms but a lot of this coverage seems similar to the right-wing coverage of BLM protests. Quick to call it terrorism, violent, etc. Especially in countries with pro-Israel foreign policies like the US/UK. --- Rainbow Dashing: "it's just star wars" AutumnEspirit: kissu <cite>ZMythos posted [p:976954626] in Media cove...

In this case, the consent is for the genocide of the Palestinian people. 70% of the people Israel has slaughtered so far have been women and children. This is a genocide. --- Disobedience is the stamp of the hero. -Ragnar Redbeard Also, this is Kagata.. <cite>CoyoteTheGreat posted [p:976954675] in Media cove...
