OPINION: Donna Miles-Mojab wrote that the language used about Palestinians is putting their lives at risk.
I agree that the language used by most mainstream media to report and analyse the events in Gaza is shameful and it does risk Palestinian lives.
However, we disagree about why.
Relatives of Islamic Jihad militant Hussein al-Amour mourn at his funeral in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, on May 27. Palestinian officials said an Israeli strike on Sunday killed two Gaza militants, after Israel’s military said it targeted a militant observation post in response to an explosive device placed along the border.
Those who truly support the Palestinian people and want to see their youth have a chance of developing into peace-loving leaders would condemn Hamas rather than singling out Israel for sole condemnation.
Those who fail to condemn Hamas, or the mistreatment of Palestinian people in other Islamic regimes like Syria and Lebanon, appear less interested in Palestinians’ aspirations or humanity, and more focused on exploiting their plight as a political weapon against Israel.
