The first conference in the series was attended via Skype by Noam Chomsky, who spoke on the topic of "After 68 Years: Why Is There No Solution to the Israel-Palestine Conflict?"

The subject of my talk was "The Role of the US Media in the Palestine Conflict", in which I explained how the media serve to manufacture consent for the US policy of financially, militarily, and diplomatically supporting Israel's crimes against the Palestinians. I cited a number of case studies clearly illustrating how the media serve this function.

I was told the event would be recorded, so hopefully I'll be able to post a video later. For now, click here to read my lecture on the media's role! And please share!

About Jeremy R. Hammond

I’m an independent journalist exposing the state propaganda that manufactures public consent for criminal government policies.

My work examines US foreign policy, market interventionism, and so-called "public health" policy through one consistent lens: an uncompromising application of the non-aggression principle that transcends the narrow linear spectrum of "left" vs. "right".
