| 0:00.0 | Media racism against Palestinians. Now to anyone paying attention to Western media coverage since his current horror began, |
| 0:06.9 | describing it as racist should not be a controversial statement. And that's before we even discuss |
| 0:11.5 | how Palestinians have been discussed in the media over many decades of ethnic cleansing, occupation, apartheid, theft of land, illegal colonization of the land, mass killings by the Israeli state, mass incarceration, torture, and so on. |
| 0:26.5 | Now, Arrinos there has been a deliberate attempt to stop us using the word racist over many years |

| 1:31.6 | Mensions of violent Palestinian deaths never receive the attention of violent Israeli deaths. |
| 1:38.0 | And then from week after week, mentions of Palestinian violent deaths still have to keep competing with |
| 1:46.4 | mentions of Israeli violent deaths even though of course Israeli violent deaths were |
