EI live: Mainstream media catches onto "mass rape" lies

Starting now.

Join the Electronic Intifada livestream right now for our ongoing coverage of the Israeli genocide in Gaza, and the Palestinian resistance to it.

As well as YouTube, the stream will also be live on Twitter, Facebook and Twitch.

This afternoon’s lineup:

• Our colleague Omar Karmi will discuss the failure of what the US purports are its diplomatic efforts to achieve a ceasefire.

• Ali Abunimah will bring us up to date on Israel’s relentless efforts to push its discredited 7 October mass rapes narrative. Tel Aviv’s fabrications suffered another serious blow as The Times of London became the first mainstream outlet to cast serious doubt on the assertion that systematic sexual violence was deployed on 7 October.

• And Jon Elmer will host his resistance hour.

• And as always, we’ll open with a news roundup by Nora Barrows-Friedman, and I’ll take us through some viewer comments at the end of the show.

Timezones: 19:00 Palestine / 17:00 BST / 18:00 CET / 11:00 CT / 12:00 ET / 9:00 PT
