(Sean Reyes\/ El Tecolote)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In this struggle the Israelis have the right to defend themselves and the Palestinians have the right to be bulls-eye targets. The Israelis have the right to international solidarity and the Palestinians have the right to blockades and platitudes such as \u201cWe are concerned about the situation,\u201d or \u201cWe are very concerned about the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a0The Israelis have the right to live in peace and the Palestinians have the right to die of desperation, hunger, and the blindness of the world. The Israelis have the right to be settlers from Brooklyn and the Palestinians have the right to be refugees in their own land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Language also gets flipped upside-down by the US and international media. While the media uses words like \u201ca barrage of rockets from Hamas,\u201d the Israeli Prime Minister, who launched the massive deadly attacks on Gaza referred to it as \u201ca drizzle\u201d (San Francisco Chronicle May 22, 2021, Section I, page 2). So is it a drizzle of rockets or a barrage? But the media also creates its own reality. Associate Press Stylebook for example does not use the word Palestine because \u201cit is not fully independent, unified state.\u201d Then why doesn\u2019t AP refer to Israel as an Apartheid State, as the Israeli human rights group B\u2019Tselem recently pointed out? This type of dishonest language would make George Orwell smile in his grave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233.jpg?resize=600%2C400&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=600%2C400&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=360%2C240&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1365&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=370%2C247&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 370w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=800%2C533&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=20%2C13&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 20w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=185%2C123&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 185w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=740%2C493&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 740w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=1600%2C1067&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/20210519_palestinerally_reyes_0233-scaled.jpg?resize=72%2C48&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 72w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in solidarity to protest the Israeli bombings on Palestinians outside of the Consulate General of Israel to the Pacific Northwest on May 18, 2021.
