Western media has played a central role in justifying and whitewashing Israel’s assault on Gaza—just as it has done in past U.S.-backed wars from Iraq to Syria. Journalists who claim to champion press freedom are silent as activists and students face unprecedented repression for speaking out on Palestine. Why does the media function as a propaganda arm for empire, and how do we push back?

Rania Khalek is joined by Assal Rad, a scholar of Modern Middle East History, a non-resident fellow at DAWN, and the author of State of Resistance: Politics, Culture & Identity in Modern Iran, to break it all down.
