How Israeli spooks infect the Western media with disinformation

This month's war on Gaza provided yet another example of how easily Mossad and other spy agencies can influence a media establishment beholden to Western imperialism.

In 2018 the former head of the Mossad, Tamir Pardo, boasted that “the fun part” of working for the deadly Israeli spy agency was that it was “a crime organisation with a licence.” Other Israeli outlets translated his comment as describing Mossad as a “crime syndicate” rather than a “crime organisation” — but you get the picture.

If Mossad by their own admission are essentially gangsters with the endorsement of a state then that means an international crime syndicate has managed to exert a large degree of influence on media outlets the world over.

The most recent Israeli assault on the civilian population of the Gaza Strip marked the emergence of new evidence that this is most certainly the case.
