Building a healthier media ecosystem by advancing media accountability, elevating public narratives, and strengthening the forces that shape understanding.
In 1988, two U.S. newspapers published the same @AP dispatch. One disclosed that the Israeli military censor had ordered “significant deletions.” The other said nothing.
What happens when readers don't know what's been withheld?

We are horrified and outraged by Israel’s bombing of Gaza’s Nasser Hospital Complex, which killed at least six Palestinians, including Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira, one of the physicians featured in the documentary American Doctors.
The Guardian today published an editorial: The formation of a new Israeli government won’t stop the killing, but sustained international pressure must be applied.
The day before, it published a headline which simply said “they wait for 150,000 tents” instead of “Israel withholds tents”.
Perhaps if you wrote real headlines, international pressure would be applied.
The headline is only the beginning.

We are appalled and outraged by the Israeli airstrike on Nasser hospital in Gaza, Palestine, last night. We have already treated three people injured in the attack.
It is unconscionable that patients and medical staff are once again being killed and injured inside a hospital, a place where lives should be saved, not taken.
We urge world leaders to move beyond statements of condemnation and take concrete action to ensure the protection of patients, healthcare workers, and facilities in Gaza. The continued attacks on healthcare cannot be met with silence and impunity.

When negotiations stall, coverage often focuses on Iran's "demands." But Washington is making choices, too, including maintaining a naval blockade while publicly dismissing the need for a deal.
Those decisions deserve just as much scrutiny. Reporting should examine the conditions both governments are imposing, not just one.

As Congress prepares to reconsider the U.S.-Israel relationship, journalists should be pressing lawmakers on what meaningful policy change would actually look like.
Hakeem Jeffries is calling for “dramatic change” in the Middle East. But what does that mean for U.S. military aid to Israel, arms transfers, and conditions on American support?
Hakeem Jeffries called Thursday for “dramatic change” in America’s approach to Israel, including its military assistance framework, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank.

50+ countries and organizations are calling on Israel to allow journalists into Gaza, alongside demands for humanitarian access and protection of medical workers.
Foreign reporters have been denied independent access for more than three years. The public's right to know what's happening in Gaza shouldn't depend on what a military allows journalists to see.

It is often the case that certain Israeli outlets will openly cover topics that the US media intentionally avoid.
Here, The @TimesofIsrael outright talks about how Israel withholds Palestinian funds.
If they can cover it, so can the Western press.
With Israel withholding money needed to fully fund government salaries, Palestinian public schools have been shuttered for half the week since 2023, and test scores may be starting to show the damage.

Short report about Mansouri, Lebanon. This destruction is only what we can see, there are many destroyed villages behind this all the way to the border.
This is Zionism

Israeli forces have been demolishing the town of Qantara, Lebanon. These photos are from today.
48 villages have been razed to the ground by the Israeli army, who are still occupying more than 60 towns and villages in Lebanon.
This destruction is funded by the US and EU.
This is Zionism.
The @nytimes may have updated its headline to name Israel, but the very next line centers Israel's claim about a Hamas command center.
When a hospital is bombed, why does the military's justification get top billing?
These centers are very necessary to document and transmit what Palestinians in Gaza have experience. This is an especially important undertaking since Western media is complicit in manufacturing consent for Israel’s genocidal war by refusing to tell the truth and whitewashing Israel’s crimes.
This film marks the launch of the Gaza Genocide Center and our most important project: the Testimonies Project.
Survivors and witnesses in Gaza, recorded in full, in their own words, with their consent, and preserved so what happened cannot be erased.
