Activists blocked access to 2 companies with links to Israel on Monday morning. They accuse the companies of complicity in what they describe as “genocidal acts” of the part of Isreal in Gaza. They demand compliance with the military embargo against Israel and that the Belgian government impose sanctions on the country.
The VRT gives us another great case of how framing works in our media.
In the Dutch version of the website, the news is categorized as ‘regional news’ which means it’s reach is a lot less on the website, even though they state themselves that there are actions going on in other regions too.
The Dutch title is also mentions the ‘damaging of buildings’ while the English version and the RTBF one just mention them being blockaded.
It’s indeed becoming increasingly clear how the board is pressuring the journalists. Same with the Iran retaliation, suddenly all these news items about how unsafe the Israeli feel, where they go to hide, what they think of the bombings. Not one similar interview was done in Gaza.
