Human shields in Gaza

Gaza Massacre: debunking Israel’s excuse

In May 2021, Abby Martin set out 5 points that evaporate Israel's assertion that the civilians it kills in Gaza were "human shields":

• Israel provides no evidence;

• Israel has a history of lying about human shields;

• Israel considers everyone in Gaza a human shield;

• By Israel's definition the IDF uses human shields too; and,

• This is all a situation of Israel's design.

The Empire Files

In 2015 Abby Martin launched The Empire Files with journalist and activist Michael Prysner.

The Empire Files is hosted by teleSUR, which is funded by several Latin American governments, but is editorially independent. Martin said:

"The show is totally independent of teleSUR... We merely sell them the content; they have zero control over anything we do".

Martin and Prysner received death threats for their reporting on protests in Venezuela. For The Empire Files, Abby Martin also reported from the Palestinian territories, the West Bank and the Amazon rainforest.

It was shut down by sanctions from the american government in 2018.
