{ "item_title" : "Don't Say Palestine", "item_author" : [" Assal Rad "], "item_description" : "A searing indictment of Western media that lays bare how the free press, long tasked with speaking truth to power, instead became a vital part of the machinery that enabled the genocide in Palestine If you're not writing the truth about crimes against humanity, you're culpable in them. Activist and Middle East historian Assal Rad is known as the headline fixer for her powerful posts that illustrate how mainstream Western media's coverage of the Gaza Genocide is filled with double standards. Israelis are described as children and civilians, while Palestinians are people under 18 and collateral damage; Israelis are killed; Palestinians die. Even in the wake of the so-called ceasefire, major Western media continually obfuscates Israeli violence in Palestine: For example, the Associated Press reported that Gaza's living conditions worsen as strong winds and hypothermia kill 5. No, Rad corrects: Gaza's living conditions worsen as Israel blocks aid. In Don't Say Palestine, Rad reveals a pattern of dehumanizing language--in outlets from CNN and the AP to the BBC and The New York Times--so consistently employed throughout the Palestinian genocide that it amounts to a policy. Mainstream Western media consistently downplays Israeli responsibility, others Palestinians, and casts doubt on inviolable tenets of international law like the sanctity of hospitals and journalists in war zones. This groundbreaking, eye-opening exposoffers both a moral reckoning and an urgent call to action, mapping with devastating clarity the media's complicity in whitewashing a human rights crisis.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers2.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/821/701/9798217010349_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "20.00", "online_price" : "20.00", "our_price" : "20.00", "club_price" : "20.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "20.00" } }
