There is a standard script for how to deal with Palestinian casualties. After Israel killed four boys on the Gaza beach on July 16, the U.S. establishment media fell in line behind Israels PR framework: acknowledge the tragedy but blame Hamas. This is exactly what Israeli spokesperson Mark Regev said on Channel 4 News when grilled by the anchor Jon Snow. It is also how the U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki responded, using the same word-for-word talking points. This framework, developed in 2009, can be found in The Israel Projects 2009 Global Language Dictionary. The Orwellian manual provides a detailed outline on how to communicate effectively in support of Israel.
