On
Monday, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and other members of the Trump
administration celebrated the opening of a new U.S. embassy in
Jerusalem, while at the same time and just a few miles away, Israeli
snipers shot at hundreds of unarmed Palestinian protesters in Gaza.
More
than 60 people were killed in a single day, including children.
Predictably, the U.S. media went into pro-Israeli propaganda mode,
blaming all of the violence and killing on Hamas, which for all its
many sins, didn’t actually kill anyone this week.
On this
week’s episode of Deconstructed [on The Intercept], two
Palestinians join Mehdi Hasan to discuss U.S. coverage of Palestine
and how to get prominent Democratic politicians to take the
Palestinian struggle for freedom seriously. Rula Jebreal was raised
in East Jerusalem and is an academic and foreign policy analyst.
Linda Sarsour, whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from the occupied
West Bank, is the co-chair of the Women’s March and the former
director of the Arab American Association of New York.
