BREAKING: Israeli outlet Haaretz has blatantly plagiarized my post about Sky News editing their video on the Amsterdam riots, lifting a number of sentences word-for-word and only slightly revising the rest.

A side-by-side analysis shows at least five paragraphs of the Haaretz article were directly taken from my social media profile and republished with just a handful of minor edits.

The plagiarist in question is Rachel Fink — the same Rachel Fink who wrote a hit piece about me in Haaretz in June, based on a smear job by the Washington Post which was so shoddily-written that its very first sentence was immediately retracted.

Her previous piece, labeling us a “fringe news site,” was merely Haaretz’s latest attack on myself and The Grayzone. Last November, the outlet labeled editor-in-chief @MaxBlumenthal a “conspiracy theorist” after he pointed out that the Israeli government killed large number of Israeli civilians in October — a ‘conspiracy theory’ which Haaretz itself went on to confirm two weeks later.

That same month, another Haaretz piece accused our top editor of carrying out a “masterclass in manipulation,” claiming Blumenthal “has a history of denying war crimes, so it's no surprise he provided a piece that very selectively uses facts, includes purposely edited quotes to change their meaning and grossly plays down the atrocities against Israelis.”

Given their long history of disparaging myself, Max Blumenthal, and The Grayzone in general, they were apparently unable to publicly credit a Grayzone employee. So they did the next best thing: shamelessly plagiarize our work and pass it off as their own.

The blatant forgery of my writing by Haaretz is pathetic — and likely illegal — but ultimately unsurprising. It does, however, raise the crucial question: is there anything Israelis won’t steal?Image

Turns out “the free encyclopedia anyone can edit” is actually controlled opposition that no one can touch Image Wikipedia: “You are not allowed to cite The Grayzone”

Also Wikipedia: “…Unless you’re disparaging The Grayzone.”

Just this week, official Israeli government accounts have tweeted, then deleted, the following:

- Video of a fake nurse claiming that Hamas took over the Al-Shifa hospital

- False claim that “AP, CNN, NY Times, and Reuters had journalists embedded with Hamas terrorists on October 7th massacre”

- Video with fake captions claiming a crying elderly Gaza woman blames Hamas for the siege

- Graphic asserting Israeli ownership of all the occupied territories, including Syria’s Golan Heights

- False claim that Israel is “facilitating the supply of humanitarian aid to Gazan civilians.”

- Assertion that hospitals and ambulances constitute "legitimate military targets."

BREAKING: US greenlit coup d’etat that overthrew Imran Khan last year after he visited Russia, document says.

State Dept. official made mafia-style threat to Pakistani ambassador— if they don’t remove popular, democratically-elected Prime Minister, “it will be tough going ahead” https://t.co/NOPj2np5Nrtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Weeks before Khan’s overthrow, State Dept official insisted “people here & in Europe are quite concerned about why Pakistan is taking such an aggressively neutral position (on Ukraine), if such a position is even possible.”

“It does not seem such a neutral stand to us,” he added

Twitter has finally overturned its McCarthyite policy of selectively labeling journalists who work for outlets in countries targeted by the US for regime change as “state-affiliated media.”

A sad day for the Disinfo racketeers and NatSec creeps, but a great day for free speech. Twitter’s removal of politicized labels on journalists came just after midnight. Here’s my profile before and after refreshing:

BREAKING: Zelensky advisor Aleksey Arestovich has resigned after admitting on live TV that Ukrainian air defense was responsible for destroying the apartment in Dnipro This morning Arestovich issued an apology on Telegram promising to “be stricter with the information I voice from now on.”

Apparently it didn’t work. Just three hours later, he wrote “I want to show an example of what civilized behavior is—a fundamental error, then resignation.”

Ukrainian propagandists are lying and inventing child casualties that don’t exist again.

So here’s a thread showing some of the real victims of 8 years of indiscriminate Ukrainian attacks, on display at an exhibit in Moscow called “the Children of Donbass.”🧵 DIMA, 6 YEARS OLD

His entire life is spent “with his mother in the basement” due to the threat of Ukrainian shelling.

“Of the six years of his life, the child lived half in the basement.”

I’ve been added to the Ukrainian regime’s official kill list.

My alleged crimes include a “deliberate violation of the state border of Ukraine” & being an “accomplice” of “Russian-fascist invaders.”

EU nations once condemned the kill list—but not anymore
myrotvorets.center/criminal/rid-v… Italian journalist Andrea Rocchelli was added to Ukraine's kill list "following the Maidan coup in 2014. He was killed by the Ukrainian army the same year."

To this day, his photo can be seen on the list with the word “liquidated” written across his face.

Less than 24 hours have passed since my first-ever criticism of Paul Mason and I was just permanently banned from @PayPal as well. @PayPal .@AskPayPal care to explain which "Prohibited Activity" you banned me over? I don't see anything in the rules about reporting politically inconvenient truths.

The US is estimated to have around 100x as many nuclear weapons as North Korea, but for some reason Reuters has never once published the phrase "America's weapons of mass destruction program" Most likely, it's because Reuters has served as a laundromat for western intelligence agencies' talking points for decades

While the US was stealing Iranian oil out of a Russian tanker in the Mediterranean today, Iran & Russia signed major MoUs agreeing to use their own national currencies for settlement of trade & energy payments and collaborate on future oil and gas projects
tasnimnews.com/en/news/2022/0… The US has refused to comment, but ship-tracking services show the empire is actively engaged—right now—in the theft of Iranian oil from the Russian tanker Lana.

To prove the narrative that "Ukraine" was behind Buffalo massacre is being "dutifully promoted by Russian state-sponsored media," Beijer links to one of my tweets

I'm used to MSNBC libs backing Big Tech/security state attacks on us—now it's coming from purported "socialists" too Here @CarlBeijer complains that “so many on the left” focus on what he calls “the narrow problem of arming fascists in Ukraine,” before insisting that the US government “sending guns to Azov militants… is certainly not uniquely dangerous or uniquely hypocritical.”

Incredible—Sky News host asks Russian Deputy UN Rep Dmitry Polyanskiy about the British Defense Secretary comparing Russian troops to nazis, then CUTS HIM OFF after he pulls out a tablet and shows the audience Zelensky’s Instagram post of an SS totenkopf-wearing Ukrainian soldier “I should just say that those, uh, images that were shown by Mr. Polyanskiy we, uh, haven’t been able to independently verify”

Don’t sweat it @SkyNews, I got you

The west’s “solidarity” with Ukraine truly has no limits Working class Ukrainian men 18-60 were yanked out of cars & beaten—after being conscripted at gunpoint they were sent running headfirst into Russian artillery volleys. Now the plan seems to be to push their wives, sisters & daughters into sex trafficking & domestic servitude here

This is hands-down the most prolific liar I’ve ever seen. She just lies & lies & lies, constantly & without consequence. Her lies are immediately debunked but invariably gets tens of thousands of retweets regardless

When you serve the interest of empire, the rules are different: Lesia Vasylenko seems to lie compulsively. Her lie about Sasha Zdanovych is a perfect example, bc if confirmed, it’s tragic enough on its own.

They say he fled Vyshgorod—but she concocted a story that he fled Bucha instead, presumably believing she’d get more attention that way.
