Letter from Zach Blake

Praise for Bold Nelson Piece

I want to thank the paper for publishing this brave piece [The Partial Observer by Wriley Nelson, October 3, 2024, “J’accuse: Every American Has Palestinian Blood on Their Hands.”]

Many western media outlets fear posting factual information about Palestine, and Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.

Since October 7th, we have seen most western media organizations manufacture consent for the genocide in Gaza, through uncritical atrocity propaganda and dehumanization tactics.

After the Rwandan genocide, journalists who were responsible for inciting genocide with false claims were sentenced to life in prison. In a just world, western journalists who repeated false Israeli claims without verification will meet the same fate.

Your paper stands in opposition to this genocidal media policy. This is true journalism.
