The US corporate media has maintained a near unanimous support for the Israeli destruction of Gaza – the home of 2.2 million Palestinians.

Sangho Lee (South Korea), Long for Korean Reunification, 2014. It is impossible to look away from what the Israeli government is doing to Palestinians not only in Gaza, but also in the West Bank.
