"For weeks, the media made sure Gaza's astounding suffering – daily bombing of children and families, mass ethnic cleansing, genocide – shared the billing with (or more often got second billing after) the story of the shockwaves for Israel from Hamas' October 7 attack.
As the toll of Palestinian casualties in Gaza started to eclipse the Oct 7 attack by orders of magnitude, the media still made sure to 'balance' its coverage with a prominent Israel story. That often involved running a piece referencing weeks-old events ahead of coverage of the horrors unfolding that day in Gaza.
Now six weeks in, as almost every Palestinian family is ethnically cleansed and their homes destroyed, hospitals don't function and the encaged population lacks food and water, and there are no places to hide from the bombs, the media is treating the story of Gaza as stale. Coverage is perfunctory. Gaza barely makes the front pages any longer.
It's all a far cry from the Ukraine war, which dominated the news agenda for more than a year.
It's almost as if the media thinks Palestinians don't count – just as Palestinians haven't really counted for the West for the past 75 years of their oppression by Israel."
