Israelis are described as \"children\" and \"civilians,\" while Palestinians are \"people under 18\" and \"collateral damage\"; Israelis are \u003ci\u003ekilled\u003c\/i\u003e; Palestinians \u003ci\u003edie.\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\" \u003ci\u003eNo\u003c\/i\u003e, Rad corrects: \u003ci\u003eGaza's living conditions worsen as Israel blocks aid\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eDon't Say Palestine, \u003c\/i\u003e Rad reveals a pattern of dehumanizing language--in outlets from CNN and the AP to the BBC and \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e--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 exposé offers both a moral reckoning and an urgent call to action, mapping with devastating clarity the media's complicity in whitewashing a human rights crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Assal Rad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798217010349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs","brand":"Assal Rad","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517111316735,"sku":"9798217010349","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_adc709e7-39ad-4e6b-b364-b40e51b7dfba.jpg?v=1778729976","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dont-say-palestine-assal-rad-9798217010349","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
