The disease of concealment: An open letter to future historians
We are afflicted with what I would call the disease of silence. We are confronted with the results of decades of propaganda, and with the insidious power of language when it is cynically misused.

US veto #5 at UN vote to protect Israel from global condemnation in genocidal war.
For the fifth time since the war between Israel and the ruling Hamas group in Gaza that started on October 7, the US has once again been the lone voice in sheltering the Israeli government from widespread global rebuke. While making a few milquetoast statements that "regret" the massive indiscriminate bombings and killings of 30,000+ unarmed civilians, the tone-deaf Biden regime(poll after poll show the American public wants a ceasefire in Gaza) has continued sending thousands of bombs, miss...

American Media Keep Citing "Zaka" — Though Its October 7 Atrocity Stories Are Discredited
Given its prominence, Zaka has been scrutinized by the Israeli press but not the U.S. media. A blockbuster Haaretz report found after October 7, senior military leaders sidelined Israel Defense Forces soldiers specializing in recovering bodies and preserving evidence and sent in untrained Zaka volunteers instead. Zaka reportedly turned massacre sites into a “war room for donations,” used corpses as fundraising props, “spread accounts of atrocities that never happened,” and botched forensics t...

Hunger-Stricken Gazans Brave Israeli Fire For Bags Of Flour
What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the occupation is ethnic cleansing. When aid reaches Gaza City, the army opens fire, resulting in casualties and injuries among the people. Since its establishment in 1948, Israel, for the first time, has been accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, the highest judicial body of the United Nations, for its war against Gaza. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to provide and guarantee ...
