LAST week, as Israel launched bombing attacks on Gaza that would result in the deaths of 25 Palestinians, including a pregnant mother and a 14-month-old baby, the majority of Britain’s media described Israel’s actions as a response to rocket attacks or framed the events as a “resumption of hostilities.”
The round of rocket attacks from Gaza began after Israel killed two Palestinians on the Friday during the Great Return March protests, adding to the more than 200 killed since these weekly protests began in March 2018, alongside nearly 30,000 injured and maimed.
