I don’t think there are any debates left: Israel’s brutality is completely in the open, as shown by its recent destruction of the Al Shifa Hospital and all executions that took place there, as well as its targetting of the World Central Kitchen aid convoy.
The disregard for International Humanitarian Law here is two-fold at least: in Israel’s conduct and in what its defenders still claim — or have never claimed in the first place.
This is what my episode is about.
Although I claim it’s on two categories of that disregard, I also add the third one, at the very end of my episode, as I talk about how my own government – the Lithuanian government – chooses to stand with Israel.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
