Summary
This report examines how the destruction of truth has
become integral to the destruction of a people. It identifies three
interconnected patterns: the elimination of Palestinian media workers –
through killing, maiming, arbitrary detention, torture, intimidation and
the systematic labelling of them as “terrorists” – to suppress the
documentation of crimes; the construction of an information regime in
Israel through media restrictions, censorship, propaganda, hate speech,
genocidal incitement and denial; and the role of influential
international media and digital platforms in marginalizing Palestinian
voices and reproducing Israeli narratives, normalizing legal
distortions, which ultimately legitimized atrocities. Together, these
practices have not merely accompanied genocide but have facilitated its
commission and obstructed accountability. Some aspects of this assault
on truth might be described as “mediacide”.
