Beyond Propaganda: Independent Voices That Defy Power and Preserve Truth

As Western media and Zionist forces work to censor on-the-ground realities in Gaza, courageous independent journalists are forcing the truth into view. In the age of the internet, their testimony and uncensored reporting make it harder to erase facts—and ensure history is written from evidence, not narratives manipulated by the powerful.

Independent journalists are piercing through the fog of propaganda and state-sanctioned silence– safeguarding the integrity of history itself.

Watch here for the Sunday, Sept. 28 livestream of ArabCon 2025,
