any other news organization that I've seen to date.

Democracy Now covering the tragedy of Gaza; a populated region by refugees from the earlier tragedy of the Nakba from the 1940s (the world's largest open air prison) long before October 7th and I knew then along with most anyone else paying attention, that it was a pressure cooker ready to explode. Meanwhile these issues weren't even on the conglomerated corporate media's radar and the plight of the Palestinian people was largely ignored.

How would you feel if you were born and grew up in such an environment with surveillance drones flying over head 24/7? Dependent of aid from the world because you're not free.

Israel is and has been an apartheid state, even the late President Carter knew that, but he wasn't anti-Israel.



As tragic as October 7th was, history didn't start nor end on that day.
