JVL introduction
This DoubleDown News video is essential viewing.
In it David Hearst coolly and clinically takes on the mantra of Israel’s right to defend itself and shows how peculiarly inapplicable it is to the current butchery taking place in Gaza as he analyses the strands of oppression which led finally to this perfect storm.
What on earth does Israel think it is doing? If it aims to wipe out Palestinian resistance in this way, history will prove it wrong. It cannot work.
Hearst argues that the only way out of this cul-de-sac is to stop giving Israel the green light and to enforce negotiations with a broadly representative Palestinian national unity government that allows Palestinians to elect their own leaders, that lifts the siege on Gaza… and starts a process of sharing the land from the river to the sea.
