War crimes investigators are reading Drop Site

“We gave 60 million, nobody said thank you. Somebody should say thank you.” Those were Trump’s words this week—demanding gratitude from starving Palestinians after funding U.S.- and Israeli-backed “aid sites” where over 1,100 Palestinians have been killed, and after backing Israel’s blockade that has now led to 147 starvation-related deaths, including 88 children. Just yesterday, 14 more Palestinians died from starvation and malnutrition.

One year ago, we launched Drop Site News with a simple promise: unflinching, independent investigative journalism that doesn’t answer to billionaire owners, special interests, or corporate boards. As public sentiment increasingly recognizes the ongoing genocide in Gaza—despite those in power continuing to turn a blind eye—Drop Site’s investigative journalism has helped drive that shift through relentless documentation: over 250 investigations published, sparking war crimes investigations in multiple countries and contributing to international arrest warrants, proving that reader-funded journalism can reach the highest levels of power.

Today, we have an extraordinary opportunity to double our impact. Two generous supporters have pledged $35,000 in matching funds. If we can raise $35,000 from our readers by Thursday, we’ll unlock the full $70,000 to expand our reporting and reach even further.

Every dollar you give will be matched dollar-for-dollar:

• $25 becomes $50 in total impact
• $50 becomes $100 in total impact
• $100 becomes $200 in total impact

Your Support Reaches the Halls of Power

In just one year, the support from our readers has enabled us to break major stories before mainstream outlets and reach the attention of legal authorities and decision-makers in the White House and Congress:

• When President Trump announced a halt to U.S. bombing of Yemen in May, he cited a Houthi offer that Drop Site first reported. Multiple sources inside the administration tell us our reporting circulates throughout the White House.
• We have consistently broken “ceasefire” news before mainstream outlets. Just this week, Drop Site obtained exclusive internal documents detailing Hamas’ recent proposals—submitted before Trump and Netanyahu pulled their negotiators from the ceasefire talks in Doha.
• Our investigation into Israel’s 749 Combat Engineering Battalion exposed soldiers celebrating the destruction of Al-Azhar University and broadcasting themselves demolishing Palestinian homes while chanting “May your village burn.” Our reporting helped bring them to the attention of international human rights organizations and legal authorities—ensuring evidence of potential war crimes wasn’t buried or ignored.
• Last year, our journalist Younis Tirawi’s investigation led to war crimes investigations being opened in South Africa and Belgium against dual citizens serving in the Israeli military.
• Last month, we published leaked chats showing how pro-Israel extremist group Betar has been organizing street confrontations and violence against pro-Palestine demonstrations—potentially committing hate crimes against Muslims in New York City.

This is the power of Drop Site. This is what your support makes possible. Will you help us continue to expose more war criminals and build the case for prosecution with a tax-deductible donation today?

The Cost of Truth

But this work comes at a price. We face constant attacks from Zionist officials and coordinated efforts to silence our reporting. We’ve been:

• Banned by foreign governments
• Subjected to campaigns designed to discredit and endanger our journalists
• Placed on spam lists
• Censored on social media

We don’t back down—because we don’t have to. Unlike corporate media, we don’t depend on advertisers or wealthy owners who might pressure us to soften our coverage. We depend entirely on you, our readers. Your support enables us to stand up against oppressive forces and report on what matters most.

Will you help us raise $35,000 in matching funds? If we reach our goal by July 31, every gift will be effectively doubled.
