How to Sell a Genocide, by Adam Johnson

Pluto Press (2026)

Disinformation has been a key part of Israel’s US-supported war on Palestinians since before October 7, 2023, but it has been amped up since. Yet as various state and media claims are proven false, it hasn’t changed US media’s respectful centering of the same sources. Israeli media actually provide a less contorted view.

Adam Johnson is a media analyst, and cohost (with Nima Shirazi) of the podcast Citations Needed. He has also written for us here at FAIR. His book is called How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza, out from Pluto Press. We  hear from Adam Johnson, this week on CounterSpin.
