Media rebrands Oct. 7 terror celebrations ‘pro-Palestinian rallies’

The media is hard at work normalizing calls for the mass murder of Jews.

The creeping normalization of Islamic terrorism by the media means that Islamic terrorist supporters celebrating the anniversary of Oct. 7, 2023 are being rebranded in the blandest terms.

What is that “One Year of Resistance”? Why are there rallies on the anniversary of the worst Islamic massacre of Jews in centuries?

The media nods along and labels them protest rallies against the war. But they’re not protesting the Hamas massacre of Israelis.

They’re protesting against Israel fighting back.

Rather than reporting this the media even adopts the terrorist vocabulary, using terms like “resistance” to whitewash and even glamorize Islamic terrorism.

These rallies are not anti-war, they’re pro-war. It’s another reason they keep using “flood” names.

The media is hard at work normalizing calls for the mass murder of Jews even on Oct 7. It’s another mostly peaceful genocide.
