TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe Guardian:
The UN today put off action on a report criticising Israel’s actions during the war in Gaza after Palestinian leaders suddenly dropped their support for a resolution, apparently under heavy US pressure.
The decision marked a surprising reversal in the Palestinian position which, until now, had backed the findings of the report by the South African judge Richard Goldstone.
Goldstone accused both Israel and the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas of war crimes during the three-week conflict.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
