Palestinians usually make it into mainstream coverage only when they are protesting or physically confronting Israeli aggression.
The Palestinian outcry is referred to as an “escalation of violence” in the region.
There is no “escalation of violence” when Israel steps up its night raids on Palestinian homes or settlers attack Palestinian farmers.
Mainstream media focus is always on Palestinian reaction and not on Israeli action and it insinuates that Palestinians are on the offence when in fact they are on the defence.
It is within the contours of this “defensive” discourse that Israel has built itself and that mainstream media reports from in the region.
