Can states terrorise entire populations? Is it correct to talk, among other things, state terrorism? In short, yes. I do that in my episode, where I talk about terrorism, international humanitarian law, and a specific doctrine that the Israeli military, which has now invaded Lebanon, has.

Expert’s Take on Israel’s Assault on Lebanon: What We Need to Understand
The mainstream media will say Israel is defending itself. The informed voices of conscience will remind you Israel is defending its occupation. Please watch a video I recommend in my piece to have a better understand of what’s really happening in Lebanon.
Everything and Everyone: That’s What The US Has Chosen to Disregard to Support and Shelter Israel
What do a UN vote, opinion polls, the murder of a US citizen, and leaked documents obtained by ProPublica have in common? They all illustrate how there is nothing or no-one that the US government would put above it’s truly unconditional support for Israel.
What’s The Essential Context of Israel’s Military Escalation in The West Bank?
It shouldn’t be surprising to see Israel bring its violence in the West Bank to the next level: to get away with mass murder in Gaza, at a scale unseen in this century, has only sent a message of a green light.

What Is Israel Still Doing in The UN?

Who Can We Turn to When the Heaviness of Seeing Fascism from up Close Hits?
It can be difficult to simply exist in the world these days. There’s a lot to navigate: rise of Fascism and Israel’s annihilation of Gaza are alone to make that navigation very heavy. But we don’t only owe it to our Palestinian friends. We also have an amazing community of people to learn from. That’s what my episode is about.
Netanyahu’s Speech to US Congress: Propaganda as Expected, Applause as Imperialism and Militarism Demand
This wasn’t the first time the US Congress would host a war criminal (it has been a workplace for some of them, after all). But Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress is historic, and it will be remembered by history adequately.
Have You Seen The New CBS News Piece on Children of Gaza?
There are numerous accounts of what doctors who have come back from Gaza have witnessed. The brutality and murderousness of the Israeli forces, used against Gaza’s most vulnerable population, seems incredible. But we have to believe it. We have to know, to bear witness, and to speak out.
