Complicit Coverage

The titles of two new books about Israel’s genocide in Gaza succinctly state their shared argument: Corporate, mainstream media have been complicit in the horrific violence the Zionist state has inflicted and continues to inflict on Palestinians in Gaza. Print and online media, as well as cable news, have sold the genocide to their readers and audiences, turning reality on its head by portraying the Israeli perpetrators as victims of bloodthirsty terrorists and their Palestinian victims as bloodthirsty terrorists, terrorist sympathizers, or terrorists-to-be. As Deputy Speaker of the Knesset Nissim Vaturi said in a televised 2025 interview, “any child” born in Gaza is “already a terrorist from the moment of his birth.”

Adam Johnson, a media analyst and co-host of the podcast Citations Needed, and Robin Andersen, professor emerita of media studies at New York’s Fordham University and contributor to various independent media, have meticulously documented how U.S. media enable Israel’s mass killings. Their reviews of print, online, and cable coverage illustrate how media have acted as virtual mouthpieces for Israel’s government and its military as well as for the U.S. State Department.

Folgen des Iran-Kriegs: Trump hat Amerikas Macht verspielt

Die Supermacht USA hat sich mit einer zweitklassigen Regionalgröße angelegt – und ist dabei unterlegen. Das hat geostrategische Folgen, die wir längst noch nicht alle begreifen. Am Persischen Golf sind die Amerikaner jetzt auf dem Rückzug, das Pentagon überlegt ernsthaft, die zerstörten Stützpunkte in der Region nicht wieder aufzubauen.

USA erwägen nuklearen Schlag gegen den Iran

Laut Wilkerson sitzt der eigentliche Treiber dieses Krieges sitzt nicht in Washington, sondern in Jerusalem. Benjamin Netanjahu, so Wilkerson, sei der Einzige, der den Krieg „richtig interpretiert“ habe – nämlich als seine letzte Chance, den Iran endgültig zu erledigen.

Trump, so die Analyse, sei in eine Falle getappt – „komplett fehlinterpretiert“ habe er den Konflikt. Und jetzt sei er gefangen: Netanjahu werde ihn nicht gehen lassen, egal wie sehr Trump einen Rückzug brauche. Schon im März hatte Wilkerson gegenüber Democracy Now gewarnt, Netanjahu sei bereit, eine Atomwaffe einzusetzen, „sollte es so schlimm werden, wie es gerade aussieht“.

Medienschau: Geheimpolizei? Gut!

Verfassungsschutz (VS) und BND sollen per Gesetz Polizeibefugnisse erhalten, beschloss das Kabinett am Mittwoch. Was die Dienste bisher einfach so oder mit Amtshilfe erledigt haben, erhält nun Legalisierungstünche. Der Devise, alles dem Krieg gegen Russland und der Aufrüstung unterzuordnen, stimmen die meisten Kommentatoren zu. Sie finden offenbar auch, dass Friedensfreunde, also Staatsfeinde, mehr bekämpft werden müssen.

Redakteure deutscher Bürgermedien finden jedenfalls mehrheitlich eine angriffslustige deutsche Geheimpolizei gut.

India to Israel and back: How a fake IRGC quote on nuclear weapons reached Netanyahu’s speech

While Ynet could not determine whether Netanyahu or his inner circle directed the circulation of Vahidi‘s alleged quote, the investigation pointed „to a series of familiar markers of disinformation distribution“.

It said that Netanyahu had faced similar accusations in the past.

In September 2024, Netanyahu’s office allegedly provided the UK-based Jewish Chronicle and Germany-based Bild newspaper with false information claiming that Hamas intended to smuggle Israeli captives through the Rafah area between the Gaza Strip and Egypt to Iran.

Two Netanyahu aides are also under investigation over allegations that classified documents were leaked to influence Israeli public opinion about military operations in Rafah.

Israeli journalist exposes how fabricated Iranian nuclear quote became ‘news’

In a piece published in Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth on August 7, Bergman detailed how the alleged remarks by Ahmad Vahidi, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), were amplified by Israeli media, Israeli political figures and US officials before eventually returning to India as a report attributed to the “Israeli media”.

Iran just appointed a national joke to lead security — this is what panic looks like

(August 7, 2026)

He has always had a rather delusional — and at times almost comical — view of security and intelligence affairs. He has a profoundly disturbed mind and a brain empty of knowledge, yet he is highly deceptive and destructive.

Like other Guard officers who once served as secretaries of the Supreme National Security Council, he is intensely anti-Israel. He will therefore naturally pursue the Iranian regime’s terrorist plans against Israel and greater coordination with terrorist groups across the Shiite crescent. Although the illusion that Mojtaba Khamenei is still alive continues to be raised, Rezaei is among those who fight for the survival of power and preservation of the regime.

President al-Alimi Hails Creating Multinational Naval Alliance, Highlights Saudi Support for Yemeni State Institutions, Regional Security, Stability

(July 31, 2026)

The battle to restore the State institutions and eliminate the militias‘ coup isn‘t just the army‘s battle, but it is everybody‘s fight, al-Alimi stressed.

The President emphasized that the current stage requires political parties to reclaim their natural role as forces of enlightenment, mobilization and rallying against threats, to restore respect for the idea of the national state and to reinforce the isolation of militias and their destructive agenda.

The political parties need to make the battle to restore the State institutions a matter for the whole society, not only a government‘s task or issue, al-Alimi noted.

US President Donald Trump has ordered a fresh attack on Iran that could begin as soon as this weekend and would last a few days, US officials told The Wall Street Journal on Friday.

The goal of the strike is getting Tehran to surrender, according to the officials.

Multiple sources who spoke to CBS News indicated the military campaign could commence over the weekend.

Iran’s government spars with state TV as mediators push talks with US

The broadcaster, whose head is appointed by the supreme leader, issued a response on Saturday rejecting the government’s “accusations and improper attributions”, and emphasised that it has a duty to prevent “an incorrect and unreal suggestion of duality in the country’s leadership pillars”.

In his speech, Pezeshkian had pointed out that after last year’s 12-day war with Israel, former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei publicly said there would be no negotiations with Washington – but privately had given his approval.

Trump tells Axios he‘s considering a „bigger than ever before“ attack on Iran

„I am considering a massive attack. Bigger than ever before. I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it,“ Mr. Trump told Axios, adding that he believed Iran‘s leaders „want to negotiate,“ but aren‘t yet ready to make a deal.

„They haven‘t received enough pain yet,“ he told the outlet.

U.S. forces carried out a 12th consecutive night of strikes across Iran on Wednesday, and Mr. Trump warned in a social media post Thursday that the Islamic Republic and its Houthi allies would both face „major military punishment“ if the Yemeni rebels repeat their attacks from earlier this week on Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea.

‘Sixty seconds, that’s all it took’: the clinical Israeli-US operation to kill Ali Khamenei

(March 1, 2026)

The timing of the assassination was determined by information the CIA gleaned about a meeting of top Iranian officials at a leadership compound in the heart of Tehran scheduled for Saturday morning. Most critically, the CIA was able to tell Israeli counterparts that Khamenei would be at the site and the timing of the meeting, according to the New York Times.

Israeli spies had also been tracking Khamenei for many years, building a minutely detailed file on his daily routine and those of his family members, associates, allies and those charged with keeping him safe.

The drones that targeted the United Arab Emirates’ Barakah nuclear power plant all came from Iraq, the country’s Defense Ministry said on Tuesday, an indication that Iraqi Shiite militias backed by Iran were likely behind the assault.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack but Tehran and its militia proxies have launched drone attacks targeting Gulf Arab states since Israel and the United States began their war against Iran on Feb.

Der Krieg um die Wahrnehmung: Wie künstliche Intelligenz beginnt, öffentliche Realität zu formen

Hinzu kommt ein Faktor, der politisch bislang erstaunlich wenig diskutiert wird: KI-Systeme lernen, welche Inhalte besonders starke emotionale Reaktionen auslösen. Angst, Wut, Empörung und moralische Zuspitzung erzeugen Aufmerksamkeit, und Aufmerksamkeit ist die eigentliche Währung digitaler Plattformen. Dadurch entsteht ein Mechanismus, der gesellschaftliche Spannungen systematisch verstärken kann.

Die eigentliche Gefahr liegt dabei weniger in einzelnen Falschmeldungen als in der dauerhaften Veränderung öffentlicher Wahrnehmung. Wenn Menschen permanent mit emotionalisierten, algorithmisch optimierten Inhalten konfrontiert werden, verändert sich schrittweise die Art, wie politische Realität wahrgenommen wird. Komplexe Zusammenhänge werden auf Schlagworte reduziert, Gegner moralisch entwertet, Unsicherheit in Feindbilder übersetzt.

If he decides to act, the US president will pull Israel into a state of alert that will delay the Knesset‘s dissolution and lead to the election being held as scheduled in October. If Trump chooses not to strike Iran again, Netanyahu will lead Israel to an election on Sept. 1. Sources who have spoken with Netanyahu recently say the prime minister is leaning toward moving up the election, partly due to the erosion of his security achievements.
