“Both of these problems run through the heart of the Biden presidency.”
“But mention of child deaths and related terms were 33.4 percent higher for Ukraine than for Gaza—4233 versus 3632.”
“This reporting was crucial not just for informing the public, but also in terms of affecting political resistance to the genocide.”
“Johnson and Rad begin their books with the cold truth that the Biden administration manufactured, authorized, and sold the genocide in Gaza.”
“In the first 100 days of Israel’s assault on Gaza, more than 10,000 children were killed (the true number is likely much higher).”
“Near the end of the book, Ahmed does an especially good job of detailing Israeli pinkwashing.”
“A regular contributor to Literary Hub and the Intercept, he won a 2025 Pulitzer Center Global Reporting Fellowship to document how the second Trump administration’s cuts to public health funding were affecting HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ health in Africa, Europe and the Americas.”
“Rad’s is much more broad and qualitative.”
“When they ran against Trump in the midterm elections of 2018, the Democrats could pander to nostalgia for Barack Obama.”
“All three illustrate how Biden and the press undermined the myth of the rules-based international order by having one set of standards for covering Ukraine and another for covering Gaza.”

“Troublingly, toward the beginning of the book, Crossing the Red Line repeats largely debunked claims about sexual violence committed by Hamas on October 7.”
“Fortunately, and despite their best efforts, they failed to fool the public; support for Palestine has steadily grown over these last three years.”
“According to one poll , her refusal to stake out a position against the genocide in Gaza in line with a majority of Democratic voters cost Kamala Harris the presidency.”
“If they don’t, they may wake up to a congress as controlled by MAGA as the Supreme Court is—and they may find themselves as much in the minority as Justices Elena Kagan, Sonya Sotomayor, and Katanji Brown Jackson.”
“Thrasher Steven W.”
“No such narrative exists this time around.”
“All three books analyze how closely the Biden administration worked with a (very willing) mainstream media to portray Israel as a noble victim and to dehumanize Palestinians.”

“Yet despite their focusing on similar topics and themes, the three books have very distinct framing and approaches, reflected by the vocations and writing styles of the three authors.”
