This is an urgent call to action.
After 14 years of operations, MintPress News is in danger of being silenced.
One of our main lines of funding has been cut, and if we don’t act now, MintPress could be forced to shut down.
So we’re turning to you—our readers and viewers—for support.
Voices From the Terror List: Palestine Action Members Speak Out After UK Ban
For the past two years, the world has watched in horror as a genocide in Gaza unfolded in real time—livestreamed in 4K—while Western corporate media outlets ran cover, pushing lies and atrocity propaganda.
During this genocide, it became clear that the greatest threat to Israel in Gaza was the truth. More than 200 journalists in Gaza were deliberately targeted and killed for daring to tell their people’s story.
We must continue to be their voice. The fallen journalists, mercilessly taken by Israel, and those who continue—against all odds—to broadcast the horrors of life under constant bombardment, taught us what courage looks like. They put Western corporate media to shame.
At MintPress, we are committed to upholding their legacy and amplifying their voices in the West.
For over 14 years, we have confronted the system of lies perpetuating not only Israel’s crimes but also those of the U.S. empire. We’ve challenged governments and their lapdog media for supporting policies that drive my people’s destruction.
If wars can be ignited by deceit, then let us rally for peace through unwavering truth by carrying their torch.
This is why, as a Palestinian American who once lived under Israeli occupation and apartheid, I founded MintPress.
MintPress has been on the front lines of the information war, popping the propaganda bubbles the media and military class use to justify this war—and every war that fuels the military-industrial complex.
We’ve been at the forefront of exposing how Israel’s intelligence networks infiltrate our political system, newsrooms, and even social media platforms to manufacture consent for war.
We have uncovered Unit 8200 spies working inside TikTok, Meta, the BBC, American newsrooms, and even at Columbia University.
This is systemic—not isolated.
In the past year alone, MintPress has identified hundreds of Israeli spies infiltrating platforms that control the free flow of information and manipulate public perception.
And it goes far beyond Big Tech. MintPress exposed the largest Mossad-CIA spy network in Yemen, which operated through so-called pro-democracy NGOs to sabotage a nation determined to free itself from modern-day colonialism.
All of this sits within a larger context: Israel’s crimes and sabotage are extensions of U.S. empire objectives—objectives we have proudly exposed for 14 years.
MintPress is one of the last remaining investigative media outlets in the United States willing to expose the individuals, think tanks, lobby groups, and foreign governments driving wars, expanding the police state, exploiting resources, and waging economic warfare at home and abroad.
Our investigations have revealed the deep ties between Israel’s intelligence apparatus, NATO, the arms industry, Western intelligence agencies, and lobby groups embedded in Big Tech—working to control information and target antiwar dissent, including support for Palestinian liberation.
We’ve exposed U.S. regime change operations and how the empire targets countries and movements that resist imperialism, especially in the Global South.
If Israel’s war on Gaza—and every so-called humanitarian war before it—taught us anything, it’s this: the greatest threat to their agenda is the camera, the pen, the journalist.
This is why MintPress matters. Without independent watchdog journalism that names names and goes behind the headlines, war criminals get away with murder—and people lose their voices.
Right now, our future depends on you.
Please donate today—$5, $25, or whatever you can afford—to support our reporters and keep our investigations public.

Help us keep this legacy alive.
