Alison Banville — Fri, 01 Dec 2023 14:53:29 +0000

Shane McGowan died yesterday. An event which we dreaded would happen much sooner than it did touched the souls of not only those who admired his musical and lyrical genius but of those who recognised that a very special person has been in our midst. What can I say about Shane? The greatest lyricist, a true poet, a punk spirit, […]

Max Blumenthal Responds to Haaretz Accusations re His October 7th Article

Max Blumenthal — Mon, 27 Nov 2023 21:53:57 +0000

Read Max Blumenthal’s original article on our website here. Haaretz has published a Hebrew-only attack on my investigation into Israeli friendly fire deaths on October 7. It calls my article the “cornerstone of the massacre denial conspiracy” and predictably accuses me of “‘journalism’ worthy of Der Sturmer.” Haaretz proceeds to accuse me of “manipulation” by quoting a wide variety of […]

October 7 testimonies reveal Israel’s military ‘shelling’ Israeli citizens with tanks, missiles

Max Blumenthal — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 22:44:23 +0000

Israel’s military received orders to shell Israeli homes and even their own bases as they were overwhelmed by Hamas militants on October 7. How many Israeli citizens said to have been “burned alive” were actually killed by friendly fire? Several new testimonies by Israeli witnesses to the October 7 Hamas surprise attack on southern Israel adds to growing evidence that […]

What the BBC fails to tell you about October 7

Alison Banville — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 15:50:45 +0000

It is journalistic malpractice for the media to still be repeating so credulously the Israeli military’s account of that day. By Jonathan Cook The BBC’s Lucy Williamson was taken once again this week to view the terrible destruction at a kibbutz community just outside Gaza attacked on October 7. As we have been shown so many times before, the Israeli homes were […]

Western media’s parroting of official lies is paving way to genocide in Gaza

Jonathan Cook — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 21:38:14 +0000

Catastrophe looms because journalists have failed to hold both Israel and their own governments to account Middle East Eye – 16 October 2023 How did we get to the point where Israel can order half of Gaza’s population – more than one million people – to move from the north of their tiny prison to the south of their tiny prison, in […]

Israeli Apologists’ Apartheid Coda

Jonathan Cook — Thu, 02 Nov 2023 21:10:04 +0000

Jonathan Cook examines Jonathan Freedland’s latest column in The Guardian. Will The Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland ever write a column on Israel that doesn’t rehash dishonest, Zionist talking-points that were discredited decades ago? It would be too tedious to deal with most of the misdirections in his latest contribution. Let’s just pull out the final sections of his column and then point out the ahistorical, morally vacuous […]

PROPAGANDA BLITZ: HOW MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS PUSHING FAKE PALESTINE STORIES

Alan Macleod — Sat, 21 Oct 2023 12:53:04 +0000

After Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel, IDF forces responded with airstrikes, leveling Gazan buildings. The violence so far has claimed the lives of more than 2,500 people. Western media, however, show far more interest and have much greater sympathy with Israeli dead than Palestinian ones and have played their usual role as unofficial spokespersons for the Israeli Defense […]

‘Unprovoked’ The Corporate Media Line on the Hamas Attack.

Caitlin Johnstone — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 16:38:06 +0000

They’re Repeating The Word ‘Unprovoked’ Again, This Time In Defense Of Israel. We’re seeing the western political/media class bleating the word “unprovoked” in unison again, this time in reference to the massive multi-pronged operation launched by Hamas against Israel on Saturday morning which reportedly killed hundreds of Israelis. “The United States unequivocally condemns the unprovoked attacks by Hamas terrorists against […]

Email to BBC Journalist re Syrian Observatory for Human Rights

Alison Banville — Mon, 16 Oct 2023 16:14:06 +0000

I wrote to David Gritten (no I’d never heard of him either) the BBC ‘journalist’ who wrote a piece for their website about the horrific attack on the Syrian military academy on October 6th. The attack was carried out by NATO funded Islamists who waited until the recruits had gathered with their families for the graduation ceremony in order to […]
