    Originally published: Dissident Voice on February 8, 2025 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    During Netanyahu’s visit, Trump dropped Washington’s sugar coating of Israel’s 15-month genocidal destruction of Gaza. This was always about ethnic cleansing

  • Biden

    The West’s support for Israel’s genocide is destroying the world as we know it

    Originally published: Middle East Eye on October 21, 2024 (more by Middle East Eye)  |

  • Elon Musk

    First, Elon Musk made us pay for “free speech”; Now he decides who’s allowed it

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on August 20, 2024 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    The ‘saviour of free speech’ is cracking down on criticism of Israel’s genocide. What he calls the ‘faaaaar left’ is in his crosshairs. It’ll be erased so utterly, you won’t remember it was ever there.

    How the western media helped build the case for genocide in Gaza

    Originally published: Declassified UK on March 20, 2024 (more by Declassified UK)  |

    From obscuring the West’s role in starving Gaza to sensationalised accounts of mass rape by Hamas, journalists are playing the role of propagandists, not reporters.

  • Norman Finkelstein

    The Antisemitism Industry doesn’t speak for Jews. It speaks for western elites

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on March 14, 2024 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    Film-maker Jonathan Glazer’s crime at the Oscars was to threaten the establishment’s stranglehold on the West’s narrative about Israel–and itself

  • Pro-Israel supporters protest in Trafalgar Square, London, 14 January 2024 (Henry Nicholls/AFP)

    How the ‘fight against antisemitism’ became a shield for Israel’s genocide

    Originally published: Middle East Eye on March 7, 2024 (more by Middle East Eye)  |

    Western capitals no longer treat Israel like a state, a political actor capable of slaughtering children, but rather as a sacred cause. So any opposition has to be a blasphemy.

  • Smoke rises as a result of Israeli occupation army bombardment of the northern Gaza Strip on 15 November, 2023 AFP)

    ‘Are we the baddies?’ Western support for genocide in Gaza means the answer is yes

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on December 27, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    The desperate smear campaign to defend Israel’s crimes highlights the toxic brew of lies that’s been underpinning the liberal democratic order for decades.

  • Smoke billows after an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza Strip near the Israel border, 4 December 2023 (AFP)

    How Israel uses AI genocide programme to obliterate Gaza

    Originally published: Middle East Eye on December 5, 2023 (more by Middle East Eye)  |

    According to whistleblowers, Israel is using an AI system to generate targets so fast, based on inputs so broad, that everyone in Gaza is in the crosshairs.

  • Nord Stream Pipeline explosion ({Photo: Reuters)

    The Media’s Nord Stream lies just keep coming

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on November 14, 2023 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    Originally published: Middle East Eye on November 1, 2023 (more by Middle East Eye)  |

    All the signs are in place that Israel is once again seriously considering a massive ethnic cleansing operation, conducted at lightning speed and with U.S. assistance.

  • Israeli army quietly admitted that it was responsible for killing the children.

    Israel is caught lying time and again. And yet we never learn

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on October 24, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    Disinformation over the blast at Gaza’s al-Ahli hospital worked as planned, taking the focus off the victims and lifting pressure on Israel to stop its rampage.

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on September 15, 2023 by 'Middle East Eye' (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    There are reasons for Libya’s ‘chaotic’, ‘dysfunctional’ response to the disaster. And to identify them, we need to look closer to home.

  • climate crisis

    We’re rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic: don’t ask me to help out

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on September 10, 2023 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    Highlighting the climate crisis is not ‘alarmism’, as critics say. Big Business wants an exclusive focus on climate because it downplays the true reasons for alarm.

  • Daniel Ellsberg

    Daniel Ellsberg is lauded in death by the same media that lets Assange rot in jail

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on June 20, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    Russia-Ukraine war: Another act of terror met by western media silence

    Originally published: Middle East Eye on June 14, 2023 (more by Middle East Eye)  |

    Coverage of the destruction of the Kakhovka dam and Nord Stream pipelines shows a western media willing to prioritise anti-Russian propaganda over facts.

  • Benjamin Netanyahu

    Israel’s crisis is about who gets to play tyrant: the generals or religious thugs

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on March 29, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    Starmer is paving the way for the triumph of dark politics

    Originally published: Jonathan Cook Blog on February 27, 2023 (more by Jonathan Cook Blog)

    By waging an all-out war on the left and its ideas, the Labour leader is strangling hope of change in a time of crisis–and risks driving voters towards right-wing authoritarians
