Iran, Gaza and the politics of counting the dead

As Western media accepts death tolls from Iran at face value, Palestinian deaths in Gaza remain endlessly questioned.

RAFAH, GAZA - MARCH 7: (Editor's Note: Image depicts death) The bodies of Palestinians killed during the war were buried in a mass grave and the Gaza Ministry of Health said 47 bodies were confiscated by Israeli forces and delivered through the Israeli-controlled Kerem Shalom crossing on March 7, 2024 in Rafah, Gaza. Negotiations being held in Cairo over a potential ceasefire deal appear to have stalled, as the current war between Israel and Hamas reaches the five-month mark. More than 30,000 people have died in Gaza as a result of the war, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. The Israeli government says that between 100 and 130 hostages remain captive in Gaza, after being kidnapped by Hamas militants in a surprise Oct. 7 attack that left around 1,200 dead in Israel.

Palestinian freedom cannot rest on the oppression of others

Palestinians do not owe Bashar al-Assad anything. An oppressor cannot be a true ally of a liberation movement.
