Myth Debunking
Myth #5: “Collateral Damage”
Israel says the killing of Gaza’s children is an unavoidable consequence of fighting Hamas in a densely populated territory.

Myth Debunking
“The ceasefire is holding — the situation is improving”
A ceasefire was announced on October 10, 2025. Since that day, at least 922 Palestinians have been killed. Israel has violated the agreement at least 3,005 times. 92% of homes were already rubble when it took effect. 87% of cropland is destroyed.

Myth #2: “Israel has the right to defend itself”
The phrase is repeated after every military operation as if it were a self-evident moral axiom. It is not.

This has happened before. And before that. And before that. The way Western media tells each story — and which stories it tells at all — is a case study in how language erases responsibility, one passive verb at a time.

“Do you condemn Hamas?” — Propaganda Literacy
The question is not a question. It is a mechanism — designed to end conversation before it begins, sort guests into acceptable and unacceptable categories, and immunize military operations from scrutiny regardless of how the guest answers.

The Balfour Declaration as Propaganda
The document Sixty-seven words — and what they contain The Balfour Declaration is the shortest foundational document in the modern history of the Middle East.
