When journalism abdicates, propaganda takes hold, and the media-driven West becomes the docile stage for a narrative violence as lethal as the weapons it conceals.

In this context, Alain Gabon’s article presents an alarming observation, revealing that the French media, far from acting as a counterweight to power, have become structural relays of Israeli propaganda. Published during the siege of Gaza, his analysis details how this orchestrated and uniform coverage masks the extent of the crimes against the Palestinians and neutralizes the visibility of their suffering. Gabon exposes the coordinated strategies of disinformation, territorial erasure, and language manipulation, revealing, as mentioned above, a media alignment comparable to the subservience of European leaders to Washington and Tel Aviv.

In an approach combining critical media analysis, discourse analysis, and sociology of organizations, the following text reveals the deep mechanisms of this historical drift, by examining the industrial architecture of Israeli propaganda – where omission becomes a weapon – and by scrutinizing the language used as a veritable battlefield (sanitize, depoliticize, absolve) in order to unveil the institutional logics that have been hidden until now.

From political vassalage to informational servility

The dominant French media outlets – BFMTV, LCI, France 2, TF1, Le Parisien, Le Figaro, Le Monde, Libération, and Europe 1 – function here as logistical chains for the colonial narrative, not as news organizations in the strict sense. Their dangerousness is comparable to that of drug cartels or terrorist groups: not because they shoot, but because they desensitize, normalize, and legitimize mass death. Just as cartels control territories, these media outlets control language. Just as terrorist groups destroy the fear of crime, these newsrooms destroy the fear of lies. They are no longer media outlets: they are launderers of state violence, moral launderers in the service of a colonial power. The paradox is that these French media outlets are an atypical reflection of most of the mainstream media that fuel debates in the public sphere of the Western world, giving the impression that they all draw their sustenance from the same source: Nazi-Zionism.

It is precisely within this framework that Alain Gabon argues that the transformation of French media into structural relays of Israeli propaganda contributes to masking the scale of a process described as genocide against the Palestinian people. Despite a temporary shift in tone........
