WSJ instrumentalizing discourse to justify genocide

MADRID – The recent editorial published by the Wall Street Journal, attributed to Yasser Abu Shabab—a local leader in Gaza linked to a militia associated with ISIS and, according to various critical reports, armed by Israel to fight Hamas—does not represent an autonomous analysis or a genuine voice of the Palestinian reality. Rather, it is a statement constructed under the influence of colonial forces seeking to justify systematic violence and the ongoing genocide in Gaza, while simultaneously facilitating internal fragmentation and control through tactical alliances with local actors.
