Anti-Imperialism/Foreign Policy

The war on witnesses continues

While mainstream outlets continue to parrot Israeli military propaganda, shamelessly turning away while their Palestinian colleagues are systematically targeted, we’re doubling down on supporting frontline journalists and calling out Western media’s complicity. The assault on those documenting the genocide and war crimes continues to escalate—this week’s attack on Nasser Hospital killed atleast 20 people, including five journalists, bringing the total number of reporters killed in Gaza to over 240. This direct assault on our colleagues makes our work more critical than ever.

America’s “most trusted” news sources continue amplifying unverified Israeli military talking points, publishing claims that paint murdered journalists as legitimate targets. The New York Times, Washington Post, AP, Reuters—all have been willing participants in sanitizing war crimes and dehumanizing victims, abandoning their colleagues and their alleged commitment to true and ethical reporting.

At Drop Site News, our commitment is unwavering: we will keep reporting the facts, supporting the journalists on the ground risking everything to document ongoing genocide, because this is our duty as journalists—to protect the truth and defend those brave enough to seek it, even (and especially) as the efforts to silence us intensify. But strengthening that commitment into real impact requires your support.

Building Journalism They Can’t Buy or Silence

We heard you loud and clear. After countless requests from readers, we’ve launched something we’re incredibly proud of: a daily newsletter that compiles the most important breaking news—from Gaza and the West Bank to stories across the US and around the world—in one digestible format. Every morning, our team sifts through countless sources, fact-checks claims, and provides the context that mainstream outlets refuse to include. It’s labor-intensive work that requires significant resources—but it’s essential.

This is just the beginning of what we want to build. With significant reader support, we’re planning to expand this daily briefing into video and audio formats, creating a multimedia hub for Drop Site’s journalism. Think of it as our answer to the corporate media machine—except we’ll never compromise our principles for profit.

But this type of production isn’t cheap. Professional equipment, editorial staff time, technical infrastructure, and the additional resources needed to maintain our standards—these investments require sustained funding that only comes from people who believe Drop Site’s type of journalism is essential and impactful.

As a fully reader-funded organization, we can only achieve these plans with your continued support. Your gift to Drop Site is tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law. Will you consider making a tax-deductible donation to help support and protect our journalism?

While Others Amplify Propaganda, We Expose Truth

While legacy outlets explain away war crimes on a daily basis, we remain more committed than ever to amplifying the voices those in power want silenced. Our journalists on the ground risk everything to report from Gaza and the West Bank, knowing that reader support is their only protection against being erased from the story entirely.

In one year since launching, we’ve published investigations that have influenced policy at the highest levels. We’ve exposed corruption others won’t touch. We’ve provided a platform for stories and voices that would otherwise disappear into the void of corporate media indifference.

Here’s what makes us different: We answer to no one but our readers—not corporate overlords, not advertisers demanding softer coverage, not political parties pulling strings, no paywalls to bring us easier funding. Israeli officials attack us, governments ban us, coordinated campaigns try to silence us, but we’re accountable only to our community of readers who value real journalism and our supporters who are dedicated to keeping our reporting truly independent.

YES, I’LL DONATE TO DROP SITE

Every tax-deductible dollar goes directly into:

Immediate Impact:

  • Funding deep investigations into war crimes
  • Sustaining our new daily newsletter and expanding its reach
  • Protecting and supporting our journalists in conflict zones
  • Exposing propaganda and disinformation campaigns

Building for Tomorrow:

  • Launching video/audio versions of our daily briefing
  • Expanding our on the ground reporting budget
  • Developing new storytelling formats to reach wider audiences
  • Building investigative capacity to take on powerful institutions

The stakes couldn’t be higher. As journalists are violently targeted for doing their jobs, as major outlets abandon their responsibilities, as truth itself becomes a casualty of Israel’s scorched earth campaign—independent media becomes our last line of defense against a world where power attempts to write its own history.

Drop Site’s reporting is having a serious impact. Can you support our ongoing investigations with a tax-deductible donation today?

Join Us in This Fight

We could put our journalism under a paywall. We could chase corporate funding. We could soften our coverage to appease advertisers and big money supporters. We refuse.

Instead, we’re asking you to invest in a different kind of journalism—the kind that is powered and decided by you, our readers. The kind that powerful people fear because it can’t be bought, controlled, or silenced.

Your tax-deductible donation doesn’t just fund our operations. It sends a message that truth-telling still matters, that journalism can still challenge power, that readers will support the kind of reporting that has true impact.

We’re not just asking for support. We’re asking you to be part of building something that can stand up to the forces trying to destroy independent journalism entirely.

YES, I’LL DONATE TO DROP SITE

Together, we’ll keep the light on when others would prefer the dark.
