“Hamas Bases In Hospitals”: Exposing Israel’s Propaganda

Since the beginning of its war on Gaza, Israel’s propaganda has been outrageous, but it has since crossed a threshold into the genre of dark comedy. The most recent episode of Israel’s “evidence”-saga has focused on the claim that Hamas uses Palestinian hospitals as bases, a narrative the US government has faithfully backed up.  On Read More...

The Pervasive Lies on Both Sides of the Global Warming Debate

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) Whereas conservatives lie to say that global warming is a hoax or else is good instead of bad (as compared with maintaining the current global temperature), liberals lie to say that the measures liberals want put into place are the right ones to address the global-warming problem. Both sides are […]

Haaretz confirms Grayzone reporting it dismissed as ‘conspiracy’ showing Israel killed own festivalgoers

Haaretz has yet to admit it jumped the gun when it dismissed The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ for documenting crucial evidence that Israeli forces killed Israelis on October 7. But new reports by the same outlet show we were right all along. Israeli outlet Haaretz has acknowledged a police report confirmed partygoers at a festival three miles from the Gaza border were killed by the Israeli military on October 7, just two weeks after the publication accused […]

Beliefs in every group are shaped by liars. Americans as an example of this:

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) In U.S.-and-allied countries, the belief is overwhelmingly widespread that the war in Ukraine was started “by Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine”. However, this widely-circulated belief in The West is clearly and unequivocally false, because the war in Ukraine started in 2014, as both NATO’s Stoltenberg and Ukraine’s Zelensky have said; […]

For Crazed Pro-Israel Crowd even Trudeau is an Antisemite

“Justin Trudeau is and always has been an antisemite”, according to Canada’s former ambassador to Israel.

Killing the Story

The ongoing Israeli bombardment of Gaza has been described as the deadliest period for journalists. 53% of all journalists killed by Israel between 2000-2023 were killed during Israel’s current assault on Gaza. Journalists in Gaza are finding it more difficult to report Israeli atrocities due to prolonged periods of communication blackouts. With 48 media facilities […]

Lots of recent ‘history’ is actually lies.

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The Rwandan genocide in 1994 was arranged by the U.S. Government — by Bill Clinton, in fact, though after the event he said that he regretted he hadn’t gotten involved earlier to stop it from happening, and the stenograhically reporting, propagandistic, U.S.-and-allied press never even mentioned that he had actually […]

Israeli Apologists’ Apartheid Coda

Jonathan Cook examines Jonathan Freedland’s latest column in The Guardian. Will The Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland ever write a column on Israel that doesn’t rehash dishonest, Zionist talking-points that were discredited decades ago? It would be too tedious to deal with most of the misdirections in his latest contribution. Let’s just pull out the final sections of his column and then point out the ahistorical, morally vacuous […]

Press-Freedom in The West Is a Lie.

Eric Zuesse (blogs at https://theduran.com/author/eric-zuesse/) The U.S. and its allies have already lost their global war to control the world. Even resorting to nuclear weapons can’t change that; and these nations’ press have been keeping all of these historic developments secret from their respective publics, in order for their publics not to overthrow and replace […]
