The
American people’s awareness of the US support of Israel’s savage war on
the Gaza Strip indicates the end of US media monopoly, an analyst
writes for Press TV.
“The obscene US media behavior was possible during past conflicts because there was nowhere else to go, but now the US media monopoly stands busted, with truth leaking out from a thousand pores,” Shamus Cooke wrote in a column for the Press TV website.
He said the American public has been turning to alternative media to get news about the Zionist regime’s military aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip.
“Worse still was when millions of Americans watched [President Barack] Obama blather about a ceasefire while simultaneously re-supplying Israel with weapons in the middle of the conflict,” wrote Cooke.
The analyst said “political consciousness” is emerging among the American people about the policies of the US government.
He said the Americans will no longer believe Washington’s “lie” that the government is facing budget deficit for jobs, healthcare and social services, adding, “They (the Americans) are watching hundreds of billions of their tax dollars find expression in the Israeli demolishing of Gazan homes, with families buried under the debris.”
The White House recently said the relationship between Washington and Tel Aviv “remains strong and unchanged” despite Israel’s targeting of United Nations schools in Gaza.
The Israeli regime’s military attacks on the Gaza Strip claimed the lives of nearly 1,900 Palestinians, including more than 400 children, and wounded over 9,500 others.
Tensions have been running high in the occupied West Bank since Israel launched the deadly military operation against Gaza on July 8.
