Abstract

The article focuses on how mainstream Western media apply standard, forthright reporting practices to mass atrocities like those in Sudan while systematically abandoning those same norms when covering Gaza. Topics include the routine naming of perpetrators and backers in non-Israeli cases, the avoidance and dilution of terms like "genocide" in reporting on Israeli violence, and the role of propaganda interests in shaping inconsistent media narratives.
