I’m weighing several slogans, including: “Hollywood: More Jewish than ever!”; “Hollywood: From the people who brought you the Bible”; and “Hollywood: If you enjoy TV and movies, then you probably like Jews after all.”

JOHN PILGER—A powerful and timely investigation into the media’s role in war, tracing the history of embedded and independent reporting from the carnage of World War One to the destruction of Hiroshima, and from the invasion of Vietnam to the current war in Afghanistan and disaster in Iraq. As weapons and propaganda become even more sophisticated, the nature of war is developing into an electronic battlefield in which journalists play a key role, and civilians are the victims.

33 minutes readBRETT REDMAYNE-TITLEY—This article will tell you, the outraged reader still in possession of a normal conscience, how to bypass this censorship. How to bear witness to this renewed Israeli genocide and its crimes against humanity? To get the best reporting about Gaza.
Beyond the routine daily slaughter, in the past three weeks, Israel has been documented as killing twenty-four twenty-six journalists in Gaza. The Israelis yesterday, Oct. 25, 2023, targeted the family of famed Gazan journalist Wael Dahdouh. He lost his wife, son, daughter, and granddaughter.
