What do hostages who recall torture stories, mutilated bodies returned from Israeli prisons, airstrikes during a “ceasefire”, and settler attacks have in common?
It’s what we’ve seen in Palestine over the last couple of weeks.
It is also a reminder of what a “peacetime” had looked like in Palestine before October 7.
If someone thinks that Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan is a roadmap to actual lasting peace – meaning, absence of oppression, and presence of justice, equality, and accountability – they are very mistaken.
And they might be mistaken about what “peacetime” has looked like in Palestine before October 2023.
What is unfolding in Palestine – both Gaza and the West Bank – right now, in the past weeks, is a reminder of those “peacetime” elements that the media and our leaders would look away from.
I summarise several of them in my video and podcast episode.

How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself?
On The Targeting of Children And The Yoga to Treat One’s PTSD afterwards (The Zionist Universe)
In one universe, the army of the occupier is deliberately targeting children and continuing its genocide. In another universe, the same soldiers are portrayed in a way to evoke our compassion. Can you guess which one is a Zionist universe?
