Al Jazeera | The illusion of aid in Gaza | The Listening Post

The Listening Post

Host: Richard Gizbert

The United States' airdrops of aid into Gaza are a textbook case of cognitive dissonance on the part of the US administration - dropping food while continuing to send Israel bombs with which to pulverise Gaza. And the gulf between what’s happening on the ground and the mainstream media’s reportage continues to widen.

Jehad Abusalim, Co-Editor, Light in Gaza: Writings Born of Fire

‘Gaza and its district have suffered a lot in terms of the targeting and destruction of historical heritage sites.’

‘This is an assault on the people who create meaning in society and who create the language that helps people understand and reflect on reality.’

‘Rafah, like Gaza, is an idea; ideals don’t die, buddies can perish, and cities can be destroyed, but the idea is that they stand for the principles and the values. These are things that do not just vanish in thin air; they continue to exist and inspire people for many years to come.’

On our radar:

Since Israel launched its assault on Gaza, the war has been a delicate subject for Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. The war has led to censorship of news coverage and suppression of public protest. Meenakshi Ravi reports.

Israel's cultural annihilation in Gaza

The Listening Post has covered Israel’s war on Gaza through the prism of the media, including the unprecedented killing of Palestinian journalists. But there’s another level to what’s unfolding in Gaza: the genocidal assault on Palestinian history, existence and culture.
