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.

On Iran, (Ir)rationality, and Those Who Didn’t See Any Destabilisation of The Region in Israel’s Genocide

On One of The Gravest Crimes against Humanity That Not Every Country Chose to Condemn at The UN
The UN just voted to describe the transatlantic slave trade as ‘the gravest crime against humanity’. Yet not every country, according to its vote, agrees. My commentary is on what the abstentions show.
Your Antiwar Voice Is Needed More Than You Might Think
The war machine won’t stop until it’s stopped, just as its propaganda won’t just disappear on its own. It was to be actively pointed to, deconstructed, and rejected as loudly as possible. And this is where everyone’s voice matters.
