Ahmad Abuznaid on Rafah Invasion
Manage episode 417918129 series 1191824
This week on CounterSpin:
CNN’s Jake Tapper is mad about college students protesting their institutions’ and their government’s support for Israel’s horrific attacks on Palestinians in Gaza — because they’re preventing him, by his account, from covering Israel’s horrific attacks on Palestinians in Gaza. Tapper and CNN, we’re to understand, are powerless to decide what they cover, and incapable of understanding that the clear, core demand of students protesting is that government (and media) not just chat about but act to change U.S. enabling of Israel’s genocidal assault.
People, in media and elsewhere, who are used to unequivocal U.S. support for Israel’s actions, are seeing the ground shift, and they’re shook. What happens now is critical — first for Palestinians and Israelis, of course, but also for the U.S. press and their handlers.
We talk about latest developments in Gaza with Ahmad Abuznaid, executive director of the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights.
Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at protester/press relations, “outside agitators” and TikTok censorship.
