What does coverage of Gaza tell us about the West? A recent report into mainstream news coverage found Islamophobic and anti-Arab language was widely used in covering the events after October 7, and Israeli victims were described with emotive language 11 times more than Palestinian victims. It also documented how pro-Palestinian voices were frequently vilified and treated with hostility during interviews. So why is this happening? In our first episode of Season 3 of The Big Picture Podcast, we sit down with sociologist and writer Dr Randa Abdel Fattah, who speaks about her first-hand experience as an outspoken Palestinian academic. She argues in her work that media narratives paint Palestinians and Arabs as ‘unreasonable, unrestrained and uncivilised’ as a way of maintaining a Western colonial order. #TheBigPicture is weekly show produced and presented by Mohamed Hassan about the big ideas that shape our past, present and future.

How the media is reporting on campus protests
called her a boy. CNN called her a woman. Palestinian children are totally dehumanized and worthless to political and media elites.
Attractive, smart ppl don’t join these protests. They have good lives and don’t need fake activism to make themselves feel special.
went on Fox News to drum up fear about student protesters. @ggreenwald debunks this and explains how this kind of rhetoric is scaring Americans into accepting laws that erode civil liberties
