Jeremy Scahill told Democracy Now it is “utter malpractice” for Western media to avoid interviewing Hamas or Islamic Jihad leaders, saying that this refusal leaves Israeli and U.S. allegations unchallenged, turning Palestinians into voiceless, dehumanized caricatures. Speaking directly with resistance leaders, journalists and Trump envoys found academics, doctors, and scholars, and men whose families have been torn apart by war – not the wealthy, detached exiles portrayed in Western coverage. Scahill cited Khalil al-Hayya, who lost multiple sons resisting the Israeli occupation, including one killed in Israel’s bombing in Qatar targeting the Palestinian negotiating delegation – contrasting his loss with Netanyahu’s son “running around Miami like a spoiled frat boy.” @jeremyscahill | @democracynow
