Cracks in the Façade of Propaganda around Palestine/Israel

https://www.projectcensored.org/context-connections-cracks-in-the-facade-of-propaganda-a-deeper-look-at-israel-palestine/

Our understanding of every issue suffers without context, and perhaps most glaringly today – the issue of what’s happening in Israel/Palestine. In the first half of the show, Jacquie Luqman joins the show again to contextualize Israel as a settler colonialist project, how that links to the pan-African internationalist struggle and why, once again for the folks in the back: antizionism is not antisemitism. Next up, your cohosts Mickey Huff and Eleanor Goldfield dig into some Wikileaks files, Reporters Without Borders reports, and the cracks in the facade of Israeli propaganda.
