The Double Disregard for International Humanitarian Law When It Comes to Israel’s Destruction of Gaza

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.

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.
