Larry Ellison, Media Power, and the Shielding of Israeli Crimes

Larry Ellison, the billionaire founder of Oracle and a key figure behind multiple corporate entities, is not just an American oligarch—he is a powerful actor whose influence extends far beyond Silicon Valley. Over the years, he has openly supported Israel, a terrorist state widely accused by human rights organizations of committing systemic atrocities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Gaza. Now, Ellison’s reach is moving beyond political donations and corporate influence into the media and technology platforms that shape global perception.
Through his recent acquisitions and potential stakes—most notably CBS and TikTok in the United States—Ellison is positioned to directly control narratives surrounding Israeli actions. CBS, as a major broadcast network, reaches millions of Americans daily. TikTok, as a leading social media platform, is one of the few spaces where visual documentation of atrocities and human rights violations has circulated widely, unfiltered and unrigged compared to platforms like Facebook and Instagram, which have increasingly shadow-banned such content.
This consolidation is not neutral. By acquiring influence over these platforms, Ellison can shape the presentation of events, suppress inconvenient realities, and prioritize content that aligns with a pro-Israel narrative. The result is a carefully curated media environment in which global audiences are less likely to see documentation of civilian suffering, occupation policies, or military operations that violate international law. In effect, these platforms can become tools to shield and sanitize actions that would otherwise provoke outrage and demand accountability.
The consequences are not limited to international perception. By controlling media and social platforms in the United States, Ellison also risks misleading American citizens. When atrocities are filtered, distorted, or obscured, the public may attribute blame incorrectly, perceiving actions as domestic or American in origin rather than those of a foreign state. This misattribution carries real dangers: potential backlash against U.S. citizens, political polarization, and a distorted understanding of America’s role in international human rights issues.
American society now faces a critical question: can a single billionaire, with deep ideological commitments and extensive media influence, be allowed to manipulate the narrative on issues of life, death, and global justice? Ellison’s empire demonstrates how media consolidation and algorithmic control can be weaponized to shield crimes, distort truth, and influence public perception—potentially putting ordinary citizens at risk, all while consolidating political and ideological power in the hands of one individual.
As the world wakes up to the reality of Israeli actions in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and Gaza, and as documentation continues to emerge despite attempts at censorship, the American public must confront the implications of Ellison’s power. The choice is stark: tolerate unchecked oligarchic influence over media narratives, or demand accountability, transparency, and ethical oversight to ensure that truth is not sacrificed to ideology or profit.
The stakes are high. Media, technology, and public perception are no longer separate spheres; they are interconnected arenas where truth, propaganda, and human lives collide. Larry Ellison’s actions serve as a warning: concentrated media power, when aligned with a state accused of systemic violence, can hide atrocities, mislead the public, and endanger democratic understanding. America must decide whether it will allow such influence to go unchecked.
