Every Israel-Palestine Debate In A Nutshell: (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2026-05-03)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/every-israel-palestine-debate-in
———>> … the original grievance is clearly the artificial creation of an ethnonationalist state in the mid-20th century, and the push by Zionists and western imperialists to make it happen. That’s the initial act of abuse that spawned this whole gigantic mess.
>> And how has it all worked out? History speaks for itself. Generations of nonstop violence and abuse, culminating in the slaughter and chaos throughout the middle east that we see before us today.
>> This means that creating Israel was a mistake. A mistake that needs to be corrected…

Biden Official: Biden Was Preparing To Bomb Iran If Re-Elected (Caitlin's Newsletter, 2026-04-21)
https://open.substack.com/pub/caitlinjohnstone/p/biden-official-biden-was-preparing
------>> ... Trump and his handlers torched the JCPOA [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action = "Iran nuclear deal"] in 2018 because it was the primary obstacle preventing them from getting to war with Iran, and the Biden administration refused to reverse this move because they wanted war too.
>> The Democrats were beating the drums of war for Iran well ahead of the 2024 election...

Notes On Bondi Beach And Free Speech (Caitlin's Newsletter, 2025-12-22)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/notes-on-bondi-beach-and-free-speech
------>> The dumbest thing we are being asked to believe today is that pro-Palestinian protests caused the Bondi shooting. It’s self-evidently moronic. No one sincerely believes it. They’re just pretending to believe it to get protests banned and criticism of Israel outlawed.
>> Nobody actually believes “globalize the intifada” means “kill all Jews”. They’re just pretending to believe that to promote the interests of a genocidal apartheid state.
>> Fifteen people getting killed at Bondi Beach doesn’t magically make genocide and apartheid okay, and it doesn’t magically make it okay to support those things. Supporting Israel was evil the day before the shooting, and it remained evil the day after. None of that changed.

Trump Moves Closer To War With Venezuela, And Other Notes (Caitlin's Newsletter, 2025-12-18)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/trump-moves-closer-to-war-with-venezuela
------>> That’s right buddy, the US is preparing for a regime change war justified by lies again, in an oil-rich nation again, and they’re citing “weapons of mass destruction” again.
>> It’s so American how the Sackler family caused a national opioid crisis which ultimately led to the fentanyl crisis, and instead of imprisoning them the US eventually went “Hang on, we can use this as an excuse to start a war with a country that doesn’t even produce fentanyl.”

Israel Propagandists Are Uniformly Spouting The Exact Same Line About The Bondi Shooting (Caitlin's Newsletter, 2025-12-17)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israel-propagandists-are-uniformly
———>> ... They are not trying to stop chants [like “globalize the intifada”] which they perceive as dangerous, they are trying to stomp out criticism of Israel’s genocidal atrocities.
>> … Saying “globalize the intifada” isn’t calling for people to massacre Jewish civilians around the world, it’s advocating resistance to the power structure which incinerated #Gaza and continues to inflict abuse upon Palestinians and any other population which doesn’t bow to the interests of the empire.
>> ... They’re fully aware that they’re using a tragic mass shooting as a political cudgel ... This is just one more cynical manipulation aimed at protecting Israel from criticism so that it can inflict more violence and suffering upon the world.

Caitlin Johnstone: No One to Save Us But Ourselves
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/11/21/caitlin-johnstone-no-one-to-save-us-but-ourselves/

Caitlin Johnstone: Burying the Real Epstein Story

https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/cheney-should-have-died-alone-in
>> I don’t find comfort in the idea that Cheney is burning in hell now, because I do not believe in hell. I don’t find comfort in the idea that the empire will become less murderous and abusive in Cheney’s absence, because it won’t.
>> I find comfort in the fact that, after all these years, I am finally walking around on a planet that I do not have to share with Dick Cheney.
>> It’s a nice experience. Give it a try. Take a few steps and notice how you are at long last walking around on an earth that doesn’t have Dick Cheney on it. Look up at the sky and reflect on the fact that you and Dick Cheney are not living underneath that sky together anymore. Breathe deeply and think, “Today is the first day of life without Dick Cheney.”
>> It’s pretty sweet. I find that something in me relaxes a bit. Something subtle in my animal body is very relieved that he is gone now.
>> That’s good enough for me. I’ll take it.

They Really Think They'll Be Able To Propagandize The World Into Liking Israel Again (Caitlin's Newsletter, 2025-10-06)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/they-really-think-theyll-be-able
------>> Propaganda is an effective tool of mass-scale psychological manipulation, but it isn’t magic. It isn’t going to miraculously erase what people know in their bones to be true.
>> Now that everyone’s aware that Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post to churn out propaganda on its behalf, whenever you see a video online of some young social media-savvy personality promoting pro-Israel narratives you see their replies flooded with memes and jokes about their $7k jackpot...
>> ... The world’s eyes are open to what Israel is, and they are never going to close again. You can’t take off the Mickey Mouse mask, show the kids the snarling Freddy Krueger face underneath it, and then put the mask on and hope they start calling you Mickey again. Nobody’s going to forget what you showed them.

Debating Israel Supporters Is Pointless, Because They Don't Care About Facts Or Morality (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-08-10)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/debating-israel-supporters-is-pointless
———>> … [Israel supporter‘s] goal is never to communicate or to have a conversation, it’s to advance the information interests of a genocidal apartheid state... You’re dumping your mental and emotional energy into a black hole, and they are happy to have you waste your energy in that way.
>> … if you come up with something interesting to say to someone who’s defending Israel’s atrocities, just turn it into real content for people who are being real. Make a tweet, a blog post, a video, a zine, an email to your local member — something you can aim in a useful direction rather than a completely useless one.

Israel Is Committing Genocide. This Is A Fact, Not An Opinion. (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-09-17)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israel-is-committing-genocide-this
———>> … As the old adage goes, if one side says it’s raining and the other says it isn’t, your job isn’t to quote both sides, your job is to look out the window.
>> The window’s right there, western media. And it’s pouring genocide.

"Why Doesn't Hamas Release The Hostages?", And Other Reader Questions (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-08-22)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/why-doesnt-hamas-release-the-hostages
———>> … Netanyahu has explicitly said that Israel’s attack will not end until Trump’s ethnic cleansing plan to permanently remove all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip has been accomplished. This is not about freeing hostages, this is about a land grab that Israel has been pursuing for generations.
>> It is of course true that the Israeli government doesn’t care about the hostages, but it’s not accurate to say the hostages aren’t a bargaining chip. Some 2.5 million Israelis are estimated to have filled the streets this past Sunday demanding that their government secure a deal to release the hostages — that’s a quarter of the nation’s population. Numbers like that amount to political pressure, even if the Netanyahu regime itself only cares about the land grab…

Debating Israel Supporters Is Pointless, Because They Don't Care About Facts Or Morality (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-08-10)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/debating-israel-supporters-is-pointless
———>> Israel supporters are never, ever engaging in good faith — at least not the ones you’re likely to encounter in online spaces. Their goal is never to communicate or to have a conversation, it’s to advance the information interests of a genocidal apartheid state. ... If you engage them … you’re having a conversation with a psychological operation aimed at manipulating public perception. You’re dumping your mental and emotional energy into a black hole …
>> … don’t waste your time and energy engaging Zionists. They don’t care if anything they’re saying is based on truth and morality, ... Block them and use your energy on normal people who actually care about telling the truth and doing the right thing, so we can actually bring a stop to this nightmare.

They're Starving Civilians To Steal A Palestinian Territory, And They're Lying About It (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-07-26)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/theyre-starving-civilians-to-steal
———>> That’s what this is all about. That’s all this has ever been about. It’s not about hostages. It’s not about Hamas. It’s not about Israel defending itself. It’s about stealing a Palestinian territory, and anyone who says otherwise is lying.
>> And the lies have been erupting like a geyser in recent days. Israel and its apologists have been frantically pushing the narrative that Gaza is starving because the UN isn’t allowing aid in (swiftly refuted by Drop Site News), … because Hamas is stealing the aid (swiftly refuted by Reuters), and … because Hamas attacks people who try to go to aid sites (already refuted by Israeli soldiers telling the Israeli press that they’re the ones shooting the aid seekers)…

Gaza Isn't Starving, It Is Being Starved (Caitlin’s Newsletter, 2025-07-21)
https://open.substack.com/pub/caitlinjohnstone/p/gaza-isnt-starving-it-is-being-starved
———>> The organizations, funding and delivery systems to feed Gaza are all 100 percent fully available (at no cost to Israel, by the way). They’re just not being allowed to provide aid because the goal is to remove all Palestinians from Gaza via death or displacement. The people of Gaza are starving because the west is helping Israel starve Gaza. It really is that simple.
>> This isn’t some kind of unfortunate famine caused by a drought or natural disaster. It is a deliberately manufactured starvation campaign, implemented with genocidal intent.

Caitlin Johnstone: NYT Stops Avoiding The G-Word
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/07/16/caitlin-johnstone-nyt-stops-avoiding-the-g-word/
An op-ed writer is seeing the proof now and has stopped resisting what’s been clear from the very beginning. And it would seem the editors of the Gray Lady have ceased resisting as well. Listen to Tim Foley reading this…

The New York Times Finally Stops Avoiding The G-Word
by #CaitlinJohnstone
Jul 15, 2025The #NewYorkTimes has published an op-ed by a genocide scholar who says that he resisted acknowledging the truth of what #Israel is doing in #Gaza for as long as he could, but can no longer deny the obvious.
It’s an admission that may as well have come from The New York Times itself.
In an article titled “I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.”, a Brown University professor of Holocaust and #genocide studies named #OmerBartov argues that “Israel is literally trying to wipe out #Palestinian existence in Gaza,” and denounces his fellow #Holocaust scholars for failing to acknowledge reality.

Sorry If This Is Antisemitic But I Think It's Wrong To Burn Children Alive (Caitlin Johnstone, 2025-05-28)
https://www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/sorry-if-this-is-antisemitic-but
———>> Now that it’s been made clear that Israel’s goal in Gaza is the complete ethnic cleansing of all Palestinians, Israel apologists have been shifting from bleating about hostages and Hamas to arguing that ethnic cleansing is actually fine and good. Which makes sense; that’s really the only argument they can make at this point.
>> Gaza is such an easy moral issue to get right that there’s no way anyone who gets it wrong isn’t a shitty person in other areas of their life as well...
>> World Food Programme director Cindy McCain is saying that she’s seen no evidence of Hamas stealing aid entering Gaza. Israel’s one and only argument for continuing to block aid to Gaza is being publicly debunked by a member of one of the most pro-Israel families in US politics…

I've done it. I've unsubscribed from #AnotherAngryVoice
His blog is just too political-commentary for me, not in-depth, and not real journalism.
Others who I've got little time for are:
#CaitlinJohnstone and #CouncilEstateMedia
Both are basically blogs that summarise the hot takes people are saying on social media and they post about four blog posts a day as if I've got nothing better to do that read their blog all the damn time!
