Just because the Israeli military is not dropping bombs on the West Bank like in Gaza, does not mean we are not also living under Occupation, military siege, experiencing oppression on a daily basis and living in fear of the Israeli military presence. Since the bombings in Gaza have started, Israeli forces in the West Bank have killed more than 20 Palestinians, and more than 1,000 have been injured. But this violence, these numbers, these human lives rarely make it into the Western news media because it disrupts the perception that the West Bank is safe and Gaza is the place of violent Occupation. The Israeli propaganda machines have an interest in keeping the Palestinians separated within the minds of the Western audiences—suggesting Gaza as the only place of violent resistance and Israeli Army massacres and the West Bank as a safe, prosperous, and cooperative place.
