A singer from English band Massive Attack, Robert Del Naja, was arrested in Liverpool while protesting genocide in Gaza and denouncing the UK’s ban on Palestine Action. Demonstrators had gathered to demand the UK stops arming Israel ahead of the first Labour Party conference under new Prime Minister Andy Burnham.

Why does the media always frame it as "pro-Palestine" instead of "anti-Israel" or "anti-genocide"? Why do they want to keep Israel's name out of the media about Palestinian genocide?
