What’s The Essential Context of Israel’s Military Escalation in The West Bank?

What Israel is doing in the West Bank is directly related to what it’s doing in Gaza.

The practices might be different but the goal is the same: to finish its ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

I want to share with you a video I just filmed.

In it, I talk about international law, military occupation, colonisation, and ethnic cleansing as the basic context we have to know — and actively point to its absence in the mainstream media.

I also mention different Israeli state policies of depopulation that are very much real, just like the military occupation itself: house demolitions, military raids, a system of military checkpoints, and the expansion of settlements.

I invite you to notice how basic context can be intentionally omitted in the mainstream media when Israel’s brutal military occupation mechanisms are being described.

Since my podcast is still taking a symbolic break, I invite you to listen to my most recent episode below.

As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
