This week we continue coverage of the massive frauds perpetrated by the Israeli Government, including its bogus charges that Hamas fighters, during their raid on October 7th, raped and mutilated women, murdered and beheaded babies, etc. President Joe Biden and his administration have adopted the false claims, standard media have followed, and Israel's long-planned genocide of Gaza has begun, with major US help. The New York Times is being examined for supporting the fraudulent claims, now that the events of Oct 7th are being scrutinized by independent media. We begin with the Electronic Intifada's findings. Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah discuss the most recent revelations about this massive fraud. Following that, we have further examination by Jeremy Scahill, who wrote an extensive report for The Intercept Magazine. He discusses his report with Nermeen Shaikh and Amy Goodman on Democracy Now.
