Deployment of militarized police and snipers to suppress anti-war protests has sparked widespread condemnation. Many are questioning why there is more outrage over these demonstrations than over the ongoing violence in Gaza, which has claimed the lives of over 35,000 Palestinians.
The use of excessive force to silence peaceful protesters exercising their First Amendment rights is deeply troubling. Instead of addressing the concerns of the demonstrators, authorities have responded with intimidation and violence.
It begs the question: Why does the mainstream media and many of my colleagues seem more concerned about these protests than the staggering loss of life in Gaza? The disparity in coverage and outrage is stark and troubling.
