The Western media is filled with images of the IDF "invading" Palestinian cities and with statistics about how high the Palestinian casualty count in the West Bank is this year compared to previous years. The impression from the media is an inversion of the truth, where the IDF is portrayed as acting out of blind revenge while the Palestinians are helpless.
Palestinian media has a different narrative. Instead of being victims, they are the heroic instigators of these battles.
Of course, every dead Jew is celebrated, but they go way beyond that - counting every shooting attack, firebomb, Molotov cocktail, al in the context of "heroic resistance."
A Palestinian group named Maati has been keeping these statistics since January 2022. Last month they counted:
1,117 total "acts of resistance"
8 Israelis killed
144 "shooting operations"
4 "stabbing operations"
34 explosive devices
26 firebombs
Hundreds of "stone throwing" operations
January was even worse, with 1,448 total "acts of resistance" and 159 shooting attacks. 15 Israelis have been killed this year.
The number of Palestinian shooting attacks has increased dramatically over the past year, according to Maati:
This is an average of five shooting attacks a day this year - and hardly any are reported!
The Western media has their narrative, and there is no room there for the pride that Palestinians have in their "heroes" to the extent that every bullet and stone is a cause for celebration.
When you report only half the story, you aren't reporting. You are propagandizing.
