The Grayzone editor has a history of denying war crimes, so it's no surprise he provided a piece that very selectively uses facts, includes purposely edited quotes to change their meaning and grossly plays down the atrocities against Israelis.<ref>Michal Perach, Haaretz [https://archive.is/e6uP6/b1fa173d80e66bc05a1f4bdec8af5673e9d0d38f.png],

On Syria:
'Blumenthal and other writers at Grayzone have also been exposed accepting “journalism prizes” from pro-Assad lobby.'
{{Cquote|Max Blumenthal got his start writing about Syria in 2011, where he was staunchly on the side of rebels against Assad. He spoke passionately of atrocities committed by the Assad regime, even resigning from a Beirut paper in 2012 because he claimed they were “Assad apologists”, who “paid me pathetically, barely enough to pay rent in my New York apartment.”
He even goes so far as to say that some of his colleagues in Syria were so caught up in “Anti-Imperialism” that they found themselves in the warped position of defending Assad, whom he viewed as a murderer.
He was accompanied in this endeavor by his mustachioed Brooklyn hipster side-kick Ben Norton, who, unlike Max, dispensed his Syria expertise via internet from New York.
It’s unclear what qualifications Norton possessed at the time however, other than a willingness to follow Max’s every editorial lead, a bitchin’ one-man noise band, and the sweetest chinstrap in Williamsburg, but he was on board, and he was vehemently anti-Assad.
Suddenly, in 2015 Max and his pet mustachio flipped sides. It just so happens that they became pro-Assad...<ref>Joshua Collins, "Grayzone, Grifters and the Cult of Tank."
