As Benjamin Netanyahu, a war criminal, is applauded by lawmakers in a joint session of Congress, the H HEDLINES American people calling for Netanyahu’s arrest are attacked by politicians and the police. And in the ramped up chaos of the U.S. presidential race, corporate media all but disappears the murder, mutilation, terror and displacement inflicted on the people of Gaza by Israel. We speak to our media critic Jon Jeter.
