Paperback. Condition: New. Main. 'Vital' OMAR EL-AKKAD'Superb' RAJA SHEHADEH'Poignant' YANIS VAROUFAKISIf you're not writing the truth about crimes against humanity, you're culpable in them.Activist and Middle East scholar Assal Rad is known online as the 'headline fixer' - with a special focus on exposing double standards in Western media, especially about Palestine. Israelis are described as 'children' and 'civilians', while Palestinians are 'people under 18' and 'collateral damage'; Israelis are killed; Palestinians die. Even in the wake of the ceasefire, major Western media continually obfuscates Israeli violence in Palestine.This pattern of dehumanizing language, Don't Say Palestine reveals, has been so consistent throughout the Palestinian genocide that it amounts to a policy. Over the past three years, headlines in outlets from CNN to Reuters to the New York Times have consistently downplayed Israeli responsibility, 'othered' Palestinians, and called into question inviolable tenets of international law like the sanctity of hospitals and journalists in warzones. Highlighting the linguistic moves and framing devices at play and surfacing stories Western media decided not to report, Rad maps with devastating clarity mainstream media's instrumental role in sanitizing, white-washing, and downplaying a human rights crisis. Don't Say Palestine offers both a moral reckoning and an urgent call to action. When these years are studied, this will be the book people read to understand how 'this' was allowed to happen, and the one people turn to when looking to rebuild their faith in the media.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A searing indictment of Western media that lays bare how the "free press," long tasked with speaking truth to power, instead became a vital part of the machinery that enabled the genocide in Palestine"In this important new work of media criticism, Rad dissects the biases, distortions, and falsehoods by which press institutions conceal the atrocities of empireas well as delivering a powerful call for accountability, justice, and truth." Molly Crabapple, author of Here Where We Live Is Our CountryIf youre not writing the truth about crimes against humanity, youre culpable in them.Activist and Middle East historian Assal Rad is known as the headline fixer for her powerful posts that illustrate how mainstream Western medias coverage of the Gaza Genocide is filled with double standards. Israelis are described as "children" and "civilians," while Palestinians are "people under 18" and "collateral damage"; Israelis are killed; Palestinians die. Even in the wake of the so-called ceasefire, major Western media continually obfuscates Israeli violence in Palestine: For example, the Associated Press reported that "Gaza's living conditions worsen as strong winds and hypothermia kill 5." No, Rad corrects: Gaza's living conditions worsen as Israel blocks aid.In Dont Say Palestine, Rad reveals a pattern of dehumanizing languagein outlets from CNN and the AP to the BBC and The New York Timesso consistently employed throughout the Palestinian genocide that it amounts to a policy. Mainstream Western media consistently downplays Israeli responsibility, others Palestinians, and casts doubt on inviolable tenets of international law like the sanctity of hospitals and journalists in war zones.

'Amidst some of the worst journalistic failures of this century, Assal Rad has consistently done vital work to point out the myriad ways institutional hypocrisy, cowardice and willful obliviousness work hand-in-hand with state violence to justify and normalize any manner of atrocity. Her intellectual rigor and moral clarity - not only on the journalistic malpractice that so often marks Western media coverage of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, but on how this malpractice eventually seeps into all coverage - is unwavering. At a time when it would have been so much more convenient to stay silent, I and so many others are grateful for her willingness to speak' -- Omar El Akkad , National Book Award winner of One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This 'A poignant reminder of the power of words to normalise, or legitimise, genocide' -- Yanis Varoufakis, author of 'Technofeudalism' 'If you've ever wondered how the media manipulated perception through subtle use of language this is the book for you to read. Assal Rad in her superb book shows how no other institution is as instrumental in shaping perception like the media which is not a record of truth telling but a carefully curated narrative and elaborate system of erasure, euphemism and deference to power' -- Raja Shehadeh, author of What Does Israel Fear From Palestine? A searing indictment of Western media that lays bare how a so-called free press, long tasked with speaking truth to power, instead became a vital part of the machinery that enabled the genocide in Palestine.
