Netanyahu has offered military escorts to foreign journalists for guided tours of Gaza that sanitize and legitimize genocide. We call on our peers to refuse to embed with these Israeli propaganda tours. #BoycottIDFEmbeds Read our statement: https://t.co/b9oAeUAG1E

Craig Mokhiber (@CraigMokhiber) wants the international community to hold Western media organizations accountable for their complicity with Israel’s war crimes — not just morally, but also legally. Read more about media embeds with the Israeli military:

Craig Mokhiber (@CraigMokhiber) urges the public to hold media civilly accountable — at least in the court of public opinion — by boycotting mainstream outlets, canceling their subscriptions, and supporting independent media outlets instead.

“When media agree to military censorship as a condition of embedding with the Israeli army, they cease to be journalists and they become a part of the propaganda machine of the Israeli military,” Craig Mokhiber (@CraigMokhiber), international human rights lawyer.

While in other wars, embeds were the only way to see what was happening, Anne Barnard (@ABarnardNYC), a veteran newspaper reporter who spent over a decade based in the Middle East, cautioned that journalists must not leave their "critical faculties behind." Good reporting

Stories by journalists embedded with an invading force often become the ‘master narrative.’ Mainstream media comply with occupying forces that also kill unembedded journalists. Habib Battah (@habib_b) & Christina Cavalcanti (@cavalcantich) unpack this: https://t.co/qkFXIlwVOH

Must-read on media embedding with IDF in S-Lebanon. Coverage 'riddled with unverified claims, factual errors, dehumanizing language, and calculated disinformation', omitting crucial info making it 'journalistically worthless' by @habib_b @ThePublicSource

By its own admission, Israel is losing the “propaganda war,” Netanyahu’s announcement to offer military-escort to tour Gaza is an attempt to sanitize and legitimize genocide.

To go on one of Israel’s propaganda tours is to accept the bargain that Israel is offering: accept the murder of real reporters on the ground in exchange for a brief, stage-managed glimpse at genocide, shown to you by its perpetrators, with the goal of legitimizing it.

The Public Source calls on news organizations and individual journalists to stand up and say no to Israel’s propaganda tours. Here’s what a principled news outlet or individual would do: https://t.co/b9oAeUAG1E

We know what the resulting stories will look like. Journalists embedded with the Israeli military in Oct. 2024 during its illegal invasion of southern Lebanon. The resulting coverage was riddled with distortions, disinformation, & dehumanizing language. ⬇️ https://t.co/qkFXIlwVOH

Journalists and news organizations must refuse Israel’s guided propaganda tours of Gaza. PM Netanyahu admitted his regime is losing “the propaganda war” — these staged “tours” sanitize and legitimize genocide. A bargain no professional with ethics should accept.

We join 250+ media outlets in protesting Israel's relentless murder of Palestinian journalists in Gaza. When we began preparing this material at @ThePublicSource, the toll was 273. Then, Israel killed Islam Abed & her family. Now there are 274 names... #JournalismIsNotACrime
