An informed voice of conscience: this is what this video, from the beginning to the end, is.
Chris Hedges reported from Bosnia, Central America, different parts of the Middle East – including Palestine – and other regions.
His awards – including the Pulitzer Prize – speak for themselves.
But most importantly, he’s a man of integrity. Of morals, values, and principles. Having seen so much war, he can only write and speak about the oppressive systems that enable and promote it.
This speech by Chris is incredible.
It’s extremely dense, informative, engaging, and beautiful.
I wanted to quote every single sentence. So I’ve decided to simply share it here.
He ends his speech with his letter to the children in Gaza.
He ends it in tears, as it’s only appropriate for someone who’s seen what wars do to children and for someone who has a conscience.
I invite you to watch it.
It will undoubtedly create value in your life.
I think it will go down in history. So please watch it now. And then share it widely because we need such informed voices of conscience to be heard everywhere.
Stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

An Interview on Iran and Israel You Have to See
This is an absolute must-watch: Jeremy Scahill, one of the few journalists who interviews and is trusted by various actors, including the Iranian government, talks to Samir Mohyeddin about the U.S.-Iranian negotiations and Israel’s “fragile ceasefires” in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s a conversation good for our brains and conscience.
When Words Become Both The Representation And The Represented
The simplest propaganda technique – blatant lies – might be all that Israel and its supporters have left in their toolbox. Yet words with no meaning is what our leaders, too, have been resorting to for years now, following Israel itself.
Israel: The Only Country Whose Actions Never Represent Itself
If it is not its ministers, navy, police, prison guards, people marching on the streets, nor settlers protected by the army, who, then, actually represents Israel?
