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.

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?
