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!
Fired by The Hill TV for a commentary supporting Rashida Tlaib on the apartheid accusation against Israel and calling for Americans to dismantle apartheid, independent journalist Katie Halper has now published that commentary. Halper’s monologue is racking up views (20,000 so far today) and hundreds of supportive comments. The case reflects growing support for Palestinian rights among the young, and is reminiscent of the firing of Marc Lamont Hill by CNN four years ago for voicing support for Palestinian freedom.
