On the 29th of August, TVNZ aired a news story covering the recent Israeli raids into the West Bank in Occupied Palestine, which they described as the “largest counter-terrorism strike” in the West Bank in 10 years.
The raid, which persisted for a week, killed at least 30 Palestinians, two of whom were confirmed to be children.
Many of those who witnessed the coverage said that this new story, like others by TVNZ, used biassed media framing to depict the Israeli Defence Forces favourably while ignoring Palestinian civilian casualties and the context of the occupation.
For this week’s Get Action! Wednesday Wire host Oto spoke to Kareana Kee who launched a petition calling for TVNZ to review their coverage of Israel’s war in Gaza.
