The media are messing with our heads – even about the ‘hostages’

The media aren’t failing us. Journalism is not what the media are there to do. They are propagandists for their governments. And their governments are enabling a genocide.

They never came for me, because I was not a real journalist

A message from history to my fellow journalists on the British state’s persecution of Asa Winstanley.

Police escalate the British state’s war on independent journalism

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 Britain’s collusion in Israel’s genocide.

Monbiot is right about the wickedness of capitalism. Yet he acts as its propagandist

Capitalism is irredeemably destructive, warns George Monbiot. So why is he shilling for the Guardian, when its role is to create bipartisan support for crushing the anti-capitalist, anti-war left?

Why is the ‘liberal’ media peddling the vilest genocide apologism?

A phalanx of the UK’s most influential journalists brought this piece to print, decrying as a ‘blood libel’ the reporting of Israel’s killing of thousands of children in Gaza.

BBC interview with Hamas deputy chief is a case study in state propaganda

News at Ten warns “Many will find his comments abhorrent” as Khalil al-Hayya deplores attacks on Israeli civilians, urges a ceasefire and seems ready for a two-state solution.

Is this how western media would report Netanyahu’s killing by Hezbollah?

Western journalists claim to report the news objectively and fairly. If they really did, this is what coverage of Netanyahu’s assassination might look like…

In killing Nasrallah, Israel chose to open the gates of hell. We will all pay the price

The West, via Israel, is fomenting for Hezbollah and the Shia resistance their own ISIS moment. Moderates are once again losing the argument – because we lost it for them

Israelis will dance again, vows BBC film. Will Gaza’s children ever get to dance?

Gaza’s children have no voice. Their tears evaporate in the summer heat, and merge with the winter rain. No one comes to make a documentary about them. No one comes at all.

The more definitive the proof of Israeli atrocities, the less they get reported

Videos show Israeli soldiers push three Palestinian men off a roof in a West Bank town under illegal Israeli occupation. The western media can barely stifle their yawns.

At what point are we permitted to…?

At what point are we permitted to prize Palestinian life over the “sensitivities” of Zionist supremacists?

Israeli torture chambers aren’t new. They are what provoked the violence of Oct 7

If you can’t see the causal link between the Israeli abuse of generations of Palestinians and Hamas’ crimes, then you have no insight into human nature. You don’t understand yourself.

Six takeaways from the UK’s decision on arms sales to Israel the media are hiding

British Jewish leaders are incensed by the 8% cut in weapons to Israel. Judged by the very rules Starmer imposed on Labour, that makes him a proven antisemite.

Starmer’s purges of Labour have mutated into the arrest of Palestine supporters

Britain’s authoritarian new prime minister is expanding the scope of already draconian laws to redefine his critics as ‘supporters’ of terrorism.

Jonathan Freedland rewrites history to hide an ugly truth about Israel

The Guardian columnist has to twist the story of the first Jew to escape Auschwitz because a true biography of Rudolf Vrba would expose the Zionist movement’s collusion with the Nazis.

First, Elon Musk made us pay for ‘free speech’. Now he decides who’s allowed it

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.

Nothing’s changed since 1948 – except now Israel’s excuses don’t work

We have been lied to for decades about the creation of Israel. It was born in sin, and it continues to live in sin.
