How they get away with it in Gaza…

Declassified talks to Jonathan Cook about the western media’s Israel bias.

How the Western media helped build the case for genocide in Gaza

From obscuring the West’s role in starving Gaza to sensationalised accounts of mass rape by Hamas, journalists are playing the role of propagandists, not reporters.

Torture, executions, babies left to die, sexual abuse… These are Israel’s crimes

Why is the same western media obsessively reheating five-month-old allegations against Hamas so reluctant to focus on Israel’s current, horrifying atrocities?

How the ‘fight against antisemitism’ became a shield for Israel’s genocide

Western capitals no longer treat Israel like a state, a political actor capable of slaughtering children, but rather as a sacred cause. So any opposition has to be a blasphemy.

First it was Corbyn. Now the whole British public is being smeared over Gaza

Under cover of fear for MPs’ safety, Labour leader Keir Starmer has helped the ruling Tories paint as villains anyone opposed to Israel’s slaughter of children.

The fates of Gaza and Julian Assange are sealed together

Were they being properly reported, two critically important court hearings this week, in London and The Hague, would expose the US ‘rules-based order’ as a hollow sham.

CNN’s Israel bias has been laid bare. But CNN is the norm, not the exception

Western media can never truly report the extent of Israel’s criminality because to do so would be to expose their long-running complicity in those crimes.

Starmer rewards Israel’s genocide with a veto on Palestinian statehood

The Labour leader’s U-turn is returning UK politics to an era of make-believe peacemaking – a stalling tactic as Palestinians are starved and slaughtered.

Western racism laid the foundations for Israel’s genocide in Gaza

South Africa and Israel bear the trauma of Europe’s long history of racial supremacism, but each has drawn precisely opposite lessons.

The West will stand in the dock alongside Israel at the genocide court

Israel is relying on western capitals to bully the Hague court because they have as much to fear from a genocide verdict as Israel itself. They’ve backed the killing spree in Gaza with arms and diplomatic cover – making them complicit.

‘Are we the baddies?’ Western support for genocide in Gaza means the answer is yes

The desperate smear campaign to defend Israel’s crimes in Gaza highlights the toxic brew of lies that’s been underpinning the liberal democratic order for decades.

Why is the media ignoring evidence of Israel’s own actions on 7 October?

The BBC and other media outlets keep revisiting the crimes Hamas committed on October 7, but have failed to report on growing evidence that Israel killed its own citizens that day, often in grotesque fashion.

The West agonises over an ‘atrocity upsurge’ while backing Israel’s genocide in Gaza

The problem isn’t ‘global inaction’ to prevent mass atrocities, as the Guardian claims. It’s intense US and UK support for atrocities so long as they bolster their global power.

How Israel uses an AI genocide program to obliterate Gaza

According to whistleblowers, Israel’s AI system is generating targets so fast, based on inputs so broad, that everyone in Gaza is in the crosshairs.

Israel and its allies are repurposing the goals and lies of 1948 – in Gaza in 2023

Israel is openly carrying out ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Yet, just as happened with the first Nakba in 1948, Israel’s lies and deceptions dominate the West’s media and political narrative.

Don’t be fooled. Biden is fully signed up to genocide in Gaza

The White House needs a cover story to obscure its complicity. In desperation, it is once again resurrecting the long-dead two-state solution.

Starmer’s Gaza stance has unmasked British democracy as a sham

The Labour leader’s refusal to back a ceasefire shows that moral and legal principles have taken a back seat to the political need to keep Washington happy.

Mounting evidence suggests Israel may be ready to ‘cleanse’ Gaza

All the signs are in place that Israel is once again seriously considering a massive ethnic cleansing operation, conducted at lightning speed and with US assistance.

Israel’s long-held plan to drive Gaza’s people into Sinai is now within reach

As the UK and US back the carnage in Gaza, including an imminent ground invasion, are they also about to assist Israel’s ethnic cleansing plan for a “Greater Gaza” – in Egypt?

Israel is caught lying time and again. And yet we never learn

Disinformation over the blast at Gaza’s al-Ahli hospital worked as planned, taking the focus off the victims and lifting pressure on Israel to stop its rampage.
