The simplicity of the “counterarguments” of those who still support the state of Israel and its army is what it is: it’s a simple denial of reality.
It’s a simple “No” with no reputable organisation, no international body, to ever back it up.
This is what I summarise and deconstruct in my podcast episode.
It’s not so much of a deconstruction – the deconstruction part only takes two minutes – but a list of examples of reports, testimonies, and the vivid description of Israel’s annihilation of Gaza that those who still stand by Israel’s fascist government have to deny.

I’ve removed the option to support my work from this post. Instead, I invite you to contribute to my fundraiser to translate Where Olive Trees Weep, a beautiful movie on Palestine, to Lithuanian (my native language), so it’s available for broader audiences at home.
