SUMMARY:The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel’s Genocide in Gaz
 a
DESCRIPTION:New York\, NY\n\n\n\nLaunch of The Complicit Lens with Rashid K
 halidi and Robin Andersen\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin the livestream\n\nThe Complici
 t Lens\n\nThis vitally necessary and carefully researched book examines th
 e way US establishment media ran interference for Israel’s ongoing genoc
 ide in Gaza\, aligning its coverage with Israeli military narratives whils
 t downplaying\, and even condoning\, the wholesale massacre of Palestinian
 s.\n\nCommencing with the October 7\, 2023\, attack\, The Complicit Lens s
 crutinizes mainstream journalism\, contrasting it with social media report
 s and international news coverage. It reveals how legacy media presented I
 sraeli violence as defensive and justified\, casting doubt on IDF bombings
 \, employing passive language to deflect blame for atrocities\, and repeat
 ing Israeli talking points\, often word-for-word. Massacres of those seeki
 ng food became “aid-related deaths\,” whilst missile attacks on tented
  refugees were “tragic mistakes.” Meanwhile\, well-worn tropes of war 
 propaganda\, including claims of the beheading of babies and mass rapes\, 
 subsequently revealed to be without foundation\, were used to justify Isra
 eli actions and obscure culpability.\n\nAndersen documents the targeting o
 f journalists and aid workers in what has become the deadliest conflict fo
 r each on record. She spotlights the editorial censorship that prohibited 
 the use of terms such as “genocide” and “massacre” in the reportin
 g of Palestinian deaths. And\, as global protests against the Gaza genocid
 e gathered strength\, she examines the hostile media portrayal of these up
 risings\, particularly those led by young people and Jewish organizations.
