News of Mass Graves Isn't Much News to US Outlets

The bodies of over 300 people were discovered in a mass grave at the Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis, a Gaza city besieged by Israeli forces.

The discovery of these Palestinian bodies, many of which were reportedly bound and stripped, is more evidence of "plausible" genocide committed by Israel during it's bombardment of Gaza.

Over 34,000 Palestinians have died thus far, with more than two-thirds of the causalities being women and children.

Yet this discovery prompted few US news headlines, despite outlets like the Guardian (4/23/24), Haaretz (4/23/24) and Reuters (4/23/24) covering the story.
Instead, headlines relating to Palestine have predominately focused on protests happening at university campuses across the country -- an important story, but not one that ought to drown out coverage of the atrocities students are protesting against.

US to Query Israel about 6-year-old's Killing in Gaza

WASHINGTON, April 16 (Reuters) -- The U.S. State Department will ask Israel for more information about the January death of 6-year-old Hind Rajab in Gaza, spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Tuesday, calling for a full investigation into the matter after a Washington Post report cast doubt on Israel's earlier explanation.

The terrified girl trapped in a car in Gaza with her dead family begged for help in a phone call to rescuers, in which gunfire could be heard as she described Israeli forces drawing near.

Relatives found her body 12 days later along with her aunt, uncle and three children in their car near an ambulance and two dead ambulance workers who had tried to save her.

The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that an investigation had found Israeli armored vehicles were present in the area, contrary to the Israeli Defense Forces' claim that a preliminary investigation had found it's forces were not within firing range of the car in which she was trapped.
