The official death toll in Gaza is a lie: The casualty numbers are far, far higher
The death toll in Gaza is way too low by every imaginable metric. We need to be stressing this – all the more so when Israel’s apologists are vigorously engaged in a disinformation campaign to suggest that the figures are inflated. On 6 May, 7 months into Israel’s slaughter, there were reported to be 34,735 […]

A Standing Ovation
There’s no mention of their duty to the people in the oath of office that members of Congress take. It says they will support and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

More dead children: More BBC “news” channelling Israeli propaganda as its own
BBC coverage of the attack on a football pitch in the Golan Heights on Saturday has been intentionally misleading.

“Aligned With Israel’s Propaganda Strategy”: BBC Correspondent Challenges the BBC Director General
Last November, we reported on an incisive and courageous email that had been sent on 24 October 2023 to Tim Davie, the BBC’s Director General, by Rami Ruhayem, a Beirut-based BBC correspondent. Basing his arguments on considerable evidence and rational analysis, Ruhayem was highly critical of the BBC’s pro-Israel coverage of Gaza since the Hamas […]

Remembering a Genocide in the Midst of Another
This month on 11th July 2024, the UN commemorated the Srebrenica Genocide of 1995 with official statements and speeches by dignitaries, memorial services, moments of silence and designating a day for remembering what has been called the greatest atrocity in modern Europe.

Why the News Media’s Job is to Groom Us
When all we have to rely on in understanding our relationship to the news media is the media’s self-proclaimed assessment of its own role, maybe it is no surprise that most of us assume the West’s “free press” is a force for good: the bedrock of democracy, the touchstone of a superior western civilisation.
