How Israel and its partisans work to censor the Internet

Israeli Army’s Lies Can No Longer Salvage Its Image
The lies that started 100 years ago with “a land without people for a people without a land” continue. But with CCTV, smartphones, and social media, Israel’s army can’t seem to manufacture airtight alibis anymore. Jonathan Cooke documents the fact that its slogan, “the most moral army in the world,” is built on cover ups, past and present, including a history of planting weapons on its victims…
The dark roots of AIPAC, ‘America’s Pro-Israel Lobby’
Historian Doug Rossinow discusses the creation of AIPAC, originally formed to spin positive PR after the 1953 Qibya Massacre (wiping out over 60 Palestinians in revenge for the killing of 3 Israelis).

Study: At least 78% of humanitarian aid intended for Palestinians ends up in Israeli coffers
Israel has been outsmarting the West, says Israeli economist Shir Hever, making a profit on the occupation instead of paying its bills. The international community has so incentivized the occupation, that Israelis – not Palestinians – have become “the most aid-dependent people in the world.”
Former president of Modern Language Association resigns following decision to ban debate on BDS
In her letter of resignation from the presidency of the Modern Language Association, Dr. Margaret Ferguson eloquently reprimands her colleagues for allowing the passage of a resolution that prohibits academic boycott of Israeli scholars. Ferguson points to firsthand experience in Israel-Palestine, echoes the words of another former MLA president, Edward Said, and scarcely restrains herself from naming names of those who tipped the vote, as she declares her membership “a burden” that she chooses to “relinquish.”
