From the earliest days of the Gaza conflict, a pattern emerged in Western media coverage: unverified claims repeated as fact, protest movements reduced to caricature, and political slogans stripped of context to justify their suppression. This short piece from Double Down News walks through several of the most persistent distortions — from fabricated atrocity stories that shaped early public perception, to the reflexive smearing of pro-Palestinian demonstrations as antisemitic, to the deliberate misreading of phrases like "from the river to the sea." This isn't sloppy journalism. It's war propaganda dressed in the language of objectivity, and it has provided political cover for one of the most documented campaigns of mass civilian killing in modern history.
