Talib criticizes New York Times coverage of Israel’s aggression on Gaza
New York (QNN)- On Sunday, Rep. Rashida Tlaib criticized The New York Times for its bias coverage of the latest Israeli aggression on Gaza, calling the paper’s headline “dehumanizing.”
Tlaib was responding to a Times headline that read “Gaza militants fire 250 rockets, and Israel responds with airstrikes.”
“When will the world stop dehumanizing our Palestinian people who just want to be free?” Tlaib wrote. “Headlines like this & framing it in this way just feeds into the continued lack of responsibility on Israel who unjustly oppress & target Palestinian children and families. #FreePalestine”

Gaza has been under Israeli extensive airstrikes for two days so far. 25 Palestinians, including two babies and three women, have been murdered. Meanwhile, “Israel” claims that it targets the resistance.
The escalation began on Friday when Israeli troops killed two Palestinian protesters taking part in the weekly protests across the border. A sniper from Islamic Jihad reportedly fired back at the Israeli troops, injuring two.
Factions of the Palestinian resistance sent several warning messages to “Israel” to stop shooting peaceful protesters on the weekly Gaza protests, however Israeli occupation soldiers continues to kill protesters ignoring calls by the resistance and the United Nations.
