Say Plainly What the Protesters Want
Briefly

Despite coverage of protests over Israel's war in Gaza, understanding the players' true intentions is difficult due to cherry-picked extreme comments, vague invocation of values, and imprecise language in media stories.
The lack of clarity in media coverage has left the American public ill-informed about the war and the movement against it, particularly affecting those opposing Israel's actions but surprised by protest groups' objectives.
Euphemistic language in media reports obscures rather than clarifies, further complicating the understanding of the protests and potentially undermining a movement seen as morally urgent.
The use of euphemisms and imprecise language contributes to escalating violence and legal actions, risking the dilution of the movement against Israel's actions in Gaza.
