Emily Callahan, an American nurse working with Doctors Without Borders was recently evacuated from Gaza. She is now sharing about the experience and raising awareness.
Sometimes it helps to deal with Western audiences by showing them really blatantly that these events are happening to people like them, that way you can doge the lingering effects of decades of the War on Terror style fear and it’s propaganda of dehumanising Muslims. This article is meant to appeal towards the good nature of most ‘normal’ people who are traditionally susceptable to those types of often subtle propaganda and are not super informed, though I’d love to see a more detailed interview once she has some time to breathe. It obviously will fall short for those invested in the topic.
Agreed. I just don’t know that this interview would happen with western media. It seems to me that these narratives can only exist within the narrow guardrails of ADL defined speech. I have no doubt that she’s a sane person who is traumatized by the killing of civilians. These interviews are highly policed here. That’s the real shame.
It’s unfortunate western audiences ignore anything that doesn’t involve actual deaths. Living under constant rocket fire? “but nobody died, so you’re fine”.
