The courageous stance of students across the country in defiance of genocide is accompanied by a near total blackout of their voices. Their words are the ones we most need to hear.
I see you have reading comprehension problems. I didn’t ask you to provide links to media reporting about the protests. I asked you to provide links reporting what the protesters are saying.
I actually went through a few of those links and they don’t say much at all, or reframe the reasons the students are there while only quoting irrelevant statements.
Exactly, and that’s precisely my point. Western media is refusing o engage with what the protesters say or why they’re protesting. Parenti does a great job outlining this tactic in Inventing Reality incidentally.

Btw this was an excellent article! I have it bookmarked now.
For sure, Hedges nails it.
