Historian criticizes US media on Gaza coverage
American researcher and historian Asal Radd focused on U.S. media coverage of the Gaza war since October 2023, noting that the media failed to fully convey the facts regarding the unfolding events, especially concerning the number of Palestinian and Israeli casualties. She confirmed that reiterating the Israeli narrative and avoiding describing Israel as a party in the attack contributed to shaping public opinion to accept escalation. She also pointed to Israel's targeting of more than 278 media workers and 700 of their family members by the end of 2025. Radd criticized the use of vague or softened language in American media when describing the attacks, such as omitting the perpetrator's name or downplaying the seriousness of certain terms. She added that coverage based on headlines provides an inaccurate picture of the facts. The media tends to adopt framing policies that portray Israel as an occupying power, highlighting attacks on journalists and distorting the picture of events in line with the Israeli narrative—thus legitimizing the assaults and increasing their recurrence.
