Since then, Israel has responded with a relentless assault on Gaza, where it says members of Hamas are hiding, which has not let up since. More than 4,000 Palestinians have been killed in the onslaught, the majority of whom are women, children and the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jair Bolsonaros administration was a strategic ally of both the Trump and Netanyahu governments in the US and Israel respectively. But in the period from 2019 to 2022, the media organisations Organiza\u00e7\u00f5es Globo, Grupo Folha, the conservative O Estado de S\u00e3o Paulo and even Grupo Abril stood opposed the government.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The television networks Record, SBT and Rede TV took supportive stances of the government. The Bandeirantes Group had some equidistance. But, despite these divisions, 10 months since the inauguration of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (Brazil\u2019s 39th President), uniformity has returned. With the horrifying prospect of a Palestinian genocide in sight, Brazil\u2019s media have fallen into line with the US media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unity of Brazil\u2019s media on this issue was immediately apparent in the early hours of Saturday, October 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full article in https:\/\/institute.aljazeera.net\/en\/ajr\/article\/2393 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faced with what was seen as a \u201cmedia siege\u201d and \u201cnormalisation of genocide\u201d, the reaction of Arab and Palestinian groups in Brazil was immediate.
