The New York Times killed an investigation by one of its own reporters into Israeli mob violence in Amsterdam in November. The Times claimed footage shot by a Dutch photojournalist showed “anti-Semitic attacks” on Israelis – even though it actually showed Israeli mob violence against a Dutch citizen.
The Guardian – like most of Western mainstream media – has had an effective ban on the use of the term genocide for what’s happening in Gaza, but at the moment when the genocide has reached its”final stage,” The Guardian is belatedly allowing its use.
A letter signed by more than 230 members of the media industry, including 101 anonymous BBC staff, criticized the BBC for failing its own editorial standards by lacking “consistently fair and accurate evidence-based journalism in its coverage of Gaza”
The Biden administration is ignoring evidence of Israel’s widespread civilian harm and atrocities using US-made weapons in order to maintain a policy of virtually unconditional weapons transfers to the Netanyahu government.
Northern Gaza’s sick and injured have no options; don’t believe everything you read about Israel’s attack on Iran; Lebanon endures more horrors from Israel’s military; more West Bank deaths.
The raid on investigative journalist Asa Winstanley isn’t about terrorism – except the UK government’s. It is about scaring us into staying silent on Israel’s genocide.
The West’s collusion with Israel creates constant discrepancies between press freedom and censorship.
The Western media’s double standards when it comes to Israel and Palestine are hardly new. The discourse around “human shields” — or the failure to use the term — is an example of hypocrisy pushed to the extreme, by letting Israel deflect the blame for mass civilian deaths.
Don’t be fooled – mainstream media (and many American and world leaders) are lying to us. Here’s what really happened between Iran and Israel – this is fact-based news.
Death tolls continue to climb in Gaza, Lebanon; how Gaza keeps track of its dead; how Israel drops off unidentified bodies; Israel’s war on Gaza causes profound education setbacks; “It’s Bisan From Gaza and I’m Still Alive” wins news Emmy; Israel’s violence in West Bank continues unabated; Hezbollah rocket intercepted over Tel Aviv; news on Lebanon’s economy, journalist death, Israeli settlers’ takeover plans; calls for Blinken’s resignation; attempts to revoke pro-Palestine groups’ tax exemption; US media once again parroting Israeli talking points; calls for Biden admin investigation into the death of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi; more.
An in-depth comparison of The New York Times coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine vs. Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza shows how the Times dutifully launders the news to fit the U.S. government’s agenda.
