Tone Policing Opposition to Genocide
US Senator Chris Coons is challenged on camera by journalist Aaron Mate regarding his support for Israel's actions in Gaza. Coons avoids addressing the questions and deflects by criticizing Mate's behavior and venue. This incident exemplifies how opposition to Israel's Gaza massacre is being tone-policed. Rather than addressing concerns, critics work to shut down opposition by attacking the way it is expressed. The goal is to divert attention from the US government's direct funding and support of a genocidal massacre.
