Under Cover of War in Gaza, Assault on West Bank Intensifies: Palestinian Journalist Dalia Hatuqa

The Western corporate media is failing in its coverage of Israel's war on Gaza, says Palestinian independent journalist Dalia Hatuqa. A lot of what's missing from the bigger portrait ... is the Palestinian voice," says Hatuqa, who applauds local journalists in Gaza for providing the world a crucial window into what's happening there while international reporters are blocked by Israel from entering the territory. Nobody knows Gaza better than the Gazan journalists on the ground." Hatuqa also speaks about her latest piece for The Century Foundation about rising Israeli state and settler violence in the occupied West Bank, which she says can accurately be described as pogroms. The fog of war has allowed Israel to perpetuate crimes at a very large scale, not only throughout the West Bank, but including occupied East Jerusalem."
