Marc Botenga: People keep forgetting what is happening in Gaza because the international media doesn’t mention it as much anymore. They gave the Russian-Ukraine war, as an example, way more prominence and coverage than Palestine. The media plays a big part in today’s generation on how people get informed, and if there is nothing written about certain events, people tend to forget about them. The lack of coverage is also one of the reasons why so many people have spoken about the Israel-Palestine conflict in a very confusing way for many years. Like you could read that it’s a war between Arab and Jewish populations or, more often, between Muslim and Jewish people, which is not the case because there are also Christian Palestinians losing their houses for example, or progressive Jewish organisations opposing Israeli policies. It’s also not a conflict between two equal parties. It’s one colonizing power that’s stealing the land from the other. People say it’s a very difficult conflict to understand, while actually, it’s not. It’s one state, the state of Israel, stealing the land through illegal settlements from Palestinians.
