Undisclosed to the public, there are hundreds of former Israel Lobbyists working in America's newsrooms, shaping the way we understand the world.

My new investigation lifts the lid on this network:

mintpressnews.com/revealed-the-i…
For instance, Moshe Arenstein, MSNBC's Executive Producer, was literally an IDF intelligence commander in his youth. Image
You'd never guess from Gili Malinsky's CNBC profile that she is a former IDF commander, & worked for years for Friends of the IDF, an American charity that raises money for supplies for Israeli soldiers.

This conflict of interest isn't even disclosed when she writes about Israel Image
ABC News reporter/Producer, Beatrice Peterson worked for Israel lobby centerpiece AIPAC for over two years before embarking on a career in journalism. Image
Rachel Wolf worked for Israel lobby groups CAMERA and the Zionist Organization of America, then became an IDF soldier and a speechwriter for Israel's Permanent Mission to the UN.

Today, she is a producer and editor for Fox News. Image
Image
Image
Erica Scott, meanwhile, left her job as the Anti-Defamation League's Communications Specialist to go to CBS News, where she is now the editorial producer. Image
CNN has hired multiple former agents of Israeli spying organization, Unit 8200, to produce its news.

How can people like this be charged with producing America's news, especially on 🇮🇱/🇵🇸?

Naveed Jamali left MSNBC to join the ADL. His ADL profile describes him as an “FBI asset”. Today, he is Newsweek's executive producer and editor-at-large. Image
Image
In contrast, journalists expressing any pro-Palestine sentiment have been purged en masse, particularly since October 7. Image
Image
Image
Image
This strict, pro-Israel stance is enforced at corporate media outlets from the top down, leaked memos show. Image
Image
The pro-Israel lobby also has a significant impact on American politics, promoting pro-Israel candidates and pouring money into races against critics of Apartheid and genocide. Image
These names are just a sample of the dozens of people named and identified in my investigation.

BREAKING: For the 32nd year in a row, the United Nations votes overwhelmingly to end the US embargo on Cuba 🇨🇺.

The vote today was 187-2.

Countries voting against:

United States 🇺🇸
Israel 🇮🇱

Abstentions:

Moldova 🇲🇩 Image
US sanctions are illegal under international law, & only pariah nations like the 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 support them.

The sanctions are designed, in the US govt's own words, to "decrease monetary and real wages, to bring about hunger, desperation and [the] overthrow of [the] government." Image
When read out, the results were met with resounding applause from representatives of the world's free nations at the UN.

Thread 🧵

By aiding the 🇮🇱 slaughter in Gaza, Joe Biden has been accused of participating in war crimes.

But "Genocide Joe" is far from the 1st president to have done so

In this thread, I will show how successive presidents have perpetrated war crimes & crimes against humanity Image
1. Joe Biden

Apart from directly funding and facilitating the Israeli genocide in Gaza, Biden:

+ Strongly supported the illegal invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, helping push through conflicts that would go on to kill millions of people, according to a study from Brown University - watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/pap…

+ Biden was also the architect of "Plan Colombia" - the militarization of the drug war in Latin America, whereby the US sent vast amounts of money and military hardware to the far-right Colombian government, who used it to fight a bitter counter-insurgency war against leftist guerillas under the guise of eradicating drugs. The United Nations estimates that 7.4 million Colombians were internally displaced in this war, which few in the US have even heard about. mintpressnews.com/mass-incarcera…Image
2. Donald Trump

Some of Trump's worst actions included:

+ Removing the US from global anti-nuclear weapons treaties.
+ Supporting a Saudi-led genocide in Yemen, supplying arms and political support to the government in Riyadh.
+ Dropping "The Mother of All Bombs" on Afghanistan - the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in combat.
+ Ramping up illegal sanctions against Cuba 🇨🇺, Venezuela 🇻🇪, Iran 🇮🇷 and many other countries.Image

Thread 🧵

Sacha Baron Cohen is being roundly condemned for his latest racist skit on national TV.

But few people know how closely he has worked with both US and Israeli intelligence throughout his career.

My @MintPressNews investigation explores this:

mintpressnews.com/closer-scrutin…
In a 2009 interview with David Letterman, Baron Cohen casually mentioned that "Brüno" was made possible by the CIA, and that a CIA agent helped arrange much of the film.

I managed to find that CIA agent and talk to him.

@JohnKiriakou told me that Baron Cohen was obsessed with finding a "terrorist" and making him look stupid on camera. Kiriakou advised against it, but Baron Cohen eventually interviewed Ayman Abu Aita -- a Christian Palestinian NGO worker -- and presented him as a radical jihadist in the movie. In this interview with Letterman, Baron Cohen casually refers to him as a "terrorist" eight times.

Abu Aita's life was ruined, and he sued for nearly $100 million. The case was settled for an undisclosed sum in 2012.

Brüno depicts Muslims as rabid homophobic trash. But the most shocking and newsworthy case of exposing bigotry Baron Cohen has documented has never been revealed.

Kiriakou notes that, while in character as Brüno in Jerusalem, Baron Cohen was beaten nearly to death by an enraged crowd of homophobic Israelis, who, angered by his camp and sacrilegious attire, started stoning him, on camera. A rabbi even spat on him. He was nearly killed.

It was the only time in his career that he broke character and desperately yelled that he was an Israeli Jew, not a homosexual foreigner. The comedian fled for his life and found refuge in a nearby store bathroom.

Read further on to find out why Baron Cohen would choose to never reveal this footage.Image
From an early age, Baron Cohen's friends note that he was an obsessive Zionist who went to live in Israel in his youth.

He grew up idolizing Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, and met him in 2012.

In 2019, Baron Cohen starred in "The Spy", an Israeli series idolizing Mossad agent Eli Cohen. Cohen goes deep undercover in Syrian high society, providing intelligence to Israel that was crucial for its victory over Syria in the 1967 war. To this day, Israel illegally occupies Syrian and Palestinian land captured in 1967.

"The Spy" was directed by a former Israeli paratrooper, who worked closely with the Mossad to produce it. The series has been used extensively in Mossad recruitment campaigns.Image

Israeli spies are writing America's news.

My new investigation uncovers a network of ex-agents of 🇮🇱 spying agency Unit 8200 working at some of the US' most prestigious outlets, including Axios & CNN.

Full investigation here ⬇️

mintpressnews.com/revealed-israe…
Axios reporter Barak Ravid recently won the prestigious White House Correspondents' Award.

Ravid is a former agent of Israeli spying agency, Unit 8200, and was, until last year, a reservist in the Israeli military group. Image

Before joining CNN to produce segments for Fareed Zakaria and Christiane Amanpour, Shachar Peled was an officer in Unit 8200 and in Israeli intelligence service, Shin Bet. Image

Sky News called a murdered Palestinian toddler a "lady", but describes four active IDF soldiers hit by Hezbollah as "teenage victims".

What accounts for this bias in infantilizing Israeli soldiers but treating Palestinian babies as adults? A thread. Image
Sky News is owned and controlled by billionaire media baron Rupert Murdoch, a lifelong passionate Zionist, with close ties to the Israeli government, as my new investigation explores:

mintpressnews.com/rupert-murdoch…
In 2010, an Israeli newspaper published a list, handwritten by Benjamin Netanyahu, of his closest and richest benefactors, sponsoring his political campaigns.

Murdoch's name was number 2 on that list.
