In response to Message from the editor-in-chief: Genocide is not newsworthy in The Australian

Intellectual and moral clarity

Words cannot express my gratitude to John Menadue for his indefatigable and invaluable work against the genocide of Palestinians. At a time when the compliant media has reacted with either deafening silence or lies, John has continued to speak up, with exceptional intellectual and moral clarity.

When dealing with the so-called Israel/Hamas war, mainstream media is replete with distorted framing and deceitful reporting. The so-called journalists have dehumanised Palestinians and manufactured consent for the genocide. We are fortunate to have Pearls and Irritations and other sources of independent journalism.
