Infographic called Anti-Palestinian racism in media: manufacturing consent for genocide and occupation which was created and shared by the group Visualizing Palestine. This infographic highlights six major ways news media perpetuate anti-Palestinian racism, including silencing critical voices, censoring words like "ethnic cleansing" and "occupation," discrediting Palestine sources, hiding war crimes by using passive voice, not questioning dominant narratives, and selectively emphathizing with Israelis but not Palestinians. The infographic calls for people to protect Palestinian journalists and media workers, 195 of whom have been killed by Israeli occupying forces, and end the media blackout that bars foreign journalists from traveling to and reporting in Gaza.
