Global Research Wants to Hear From You!

***

One of Empire’s biggest lies is that we have “press freedom” in the West.  Another Big Lie, a corollary of the first, is that Israel is acting in “self-defense against terrorists”, as it commits genocide against Palestinian civilians in contravention of a recent ICJ ruling, and in contravention of international law.

If press freedom existed in the West, Westerners would know and accept that Israel, along with its Western patrons, supports ISIS and al Qaeda, internationally recognized terror groups. Democratic and freedom-loving facades would quickly evaporate if a free press imprinted these well-documented facts in the collective consciousness.

Israel’s victim charade would also dissolve quickly once Westerners realized that the Oct. 7 incursion was a military-intelligence operation orchestrated by elements of Hamas and Western/Zionist intelligence assets.

In fact the “free press” lie is a progeny of mass murder. Washington and its allies and proxies target and murder truth and freedom-loving journalists in Gaza and beyond.

This is well-documented. See this.

So far, Washington-supported Zionists have murdered about 142 journalists since October 7, 2024. Their voices will not be heard again. The voices of the 35,000 murdered civilians, mostly women and children, including 200 U.N. employees, will not be heard from again either.

Yet the vacuum is filled by Legacy Media lies and distortions. Canada’s CBC is a typical example of mainstream disinformation practices that rely on censorship and false messaging to whitewash the Zionist genocide against Palestinians.

Apparently omitted from mainstream discourse is that Palestinians have a right to resist their long-time oppressors.  They have a “right to exist, and a right to resist,” as emphasized by Francesca Albanese, the UN’s Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.

Western-supported Zionist settler-colonial genocide of Palestinians is occurring right now on our watch.

The mass murder and censorship of Palestinian “Messengers of Truth” will not extinguish this reality.
