I’ve written for Mondoweiss over the years but recently I discovered firsthand just how hard it is to write the kind of stories they publish, and counter the dominant media narratives about Israel and Palestine, when I was fired for telling the truth about Israel.

I’m thankful to Mondoweiss for their honest and brave reporting. Will you join the fight against the dominant media narratives about Israel and Palestine. Your donation will be doubled by a generous match!

Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu is apologizing for a pre-election video he posted on Facebook, which, his critics claimed, used fear-mongering and racism to encourage Israelis to vote for Likud.

They deserve higher definition.”
