NOV 4: WESTERN MEDIA STOP YOUR LIES – Rally and March

For over two years, Western mainstream media and cultural institutions have been disseminating propaganda to manufacture consent for Israel’s genocide of Palestine. Every institution that remained silent is complicit, and every apologist is an accomplice to Israel and the U.S.’s genocidal campaign. Come protest with Stop Your Lies NYT and NY Indivisible.

New York City is the core of the Zionist cultural propaganda machine in the United States. We will start with a rally at the Museum of Modern Art to call out their silencing of pro-Palestinian voices in the art world. Then, we will take to the streets of Manhattan to denounce other institutions complicit in the genocide: the media outlets of 6th Ave (CBS, NBC, NewsCorp/Fox News) who have spread Israeli disinformation for decades; Times Square – the epitome of American capitalism, greed, and distraction which drives Israel’s genocide; and finally, the New York Times – the crown jewel of Western liberal Zionist propaganda.

Israel is violating the ceasefire. Gaza is still under blockade and siege. The West Bank is being terrorized by Israeli settlers. Yet, the Palestinian people are still resisting and we must too!
