“How many times, then, will Western journalists allow themselves to be fooled by Israeli propaganda – by military denials that later collapse under the weight of evidence?”
Israel’s Military Now Accepts 70,000 Killed in Gaza – But Why Did Our Media Let Them Get Away With Denying It for So Long?

Pakistan’s Aafia Siddiqui and the elusive truth in a landscape of politicized narratives
The Islamabad High Court repeatedly rebuked Pakistani officials for using the case of Aafia Siddiqui as a symbolic political tool rather than pursuing a sustained legal strategy.
