‘Found dead in Gaza’? No, murdered by Israel

Saturday, 10 May 2024 — Declassified UK

After six year-old Hind Rajab was killed by the Israeli army, Britain’s national media failed to unequivocally pinpoint Israel as responsible, refused to follow up the story and cover important new information, and then moved on.

Gaza resistance sparks youth revolt in the belly of imperialism

Monday, 6 May 2024 — The Communists

Scenes reminiscent of the anti-Vietnam war movement are playing out as US students refuse to stay silent in the face of academia’s complicity.

Proletarian writers

Students in the USA are risking both present academic and future career prospects to oppose US academia’s widespread collaboration with and investment in zionist Israel, its institutions and especially its arms industry.

The old lady was killed by Israeli forces alone in the same house where she had lived since 1955.

‘Genocide Enablers’: Gaza And The Corporate Media

Friday, 5 April 2024 — Media Lens

A key function of the state-corporate media is to deny reality. They do supply news. But it is no accident that they supply news of a type that covers up the crimes of elite power.

However, the appalling violence and destruction being inflicted in Gaza by Israel are simply too great to conceal.  We may well be living through an unprecedented era where the vast crimes of the West, and the complicity of major news organisations, have never been more exposed to the public.
