To survive – recognise
and respect the truth

While television news interviews with the victims of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, along with other reporting, vividly portray the war's oppressive atmosphere and individual human suffering, why do our mainstream news media forever ignore Israel's daily toll on Palestinian life, limb, liberty and property?In Palestine, the Zionist regime is totally in control. Facing no effective military opposition it has, since 1967, been blatantly following its founding intentionand incrementally annexing the remainder of Palestine beyond its borders. Able to enjoy total military superiority, there is no need for Israel to commit atrocities, such as aerial bombardment to achieve its goals, but that hasn't stopped it from hitting Gaza with intense and devastating air strikes. Israeli forces march in and out of the enclave whenever they wish, laying waste to the land while the Israeli Navy, almost every day and night, harasses Palestinian fishing boats, occasionally hijacking and even sinking them.
