Photo credit: Yasser Qudih We have both been reporting on and protesting against U.S. war crimes for many years, and against identical crimes committed by U.S. allies and proxies like Israel and Saudi Arabia: illegal uses of military […]
We are won over by “words that work” from an Israeli training manual. Hasbara has become a dirty word, thanks to it’s dirt practitioners and the dirty job they are trained to do. It’s Hebrew for Israel’s sophisticated public relations machinery that’s set up to cynically justify the Jewish entity’s crimes and to create for […]
