Gaza Siege: Expert Challenges Western Media's Shifting Narrative

Gaza Siege: Western Media's Shifting Narrative. Nineteen months into the Israeli siege of Gaza, the humanitarian crisis continues. Professor Norman Finkelstein, a renowned political scientist and activist, recently spoke about the changing Western media narrative surrounding the conflict. "Western media is changing opinions on Gaza after 19 months of genocide," he stated in an interview. Finkelstein challenges those who assert that the facts have changed, emphasizing that the same dire conditions persist. The siege has resulted in severe shortages of food, fuel, water, and electricity, mirroring the situation described in an October 9th, 2023, order. Even prominent figures, like Ursula von der Leyen, have voiced criticism of Israel's actions. Finkelstein's perspective offers a crucial counterpoint to narratives that downplay the severity of the ongoing crisis in Gaza.
