The last year has witnessed escalating horrors in plain sight. The ignorance of the global community of journalists makes this a problem not only for international human rights, but also any claim to democracy. When journalism reduces itself to propaganda in the service of empire, we all have a problem. I published the first piece yesterday in an ongoing series exploring what could soon reveal itself as the first year of WWIII. https://open.substack.com/pub/shahidbuttar/p/the-first-year-of-world-war-iii

Sadly this piece reads from the perspective of someone who believes in Israel's fundamental right to exist; a two state solution type of liberal where the Palestinians are expected to be "reasonable" and give up half their homeland to an outside host, because said host went through something that had nothing to do with them and hides behind a thin veneer of western liberalism.

Well it's not a "conflict", it's an occupation, and nothing will rectify it by anything other than ending the occupation. And no one has the right to dictate how resistance happens, no matter how violent or depraved, sorry. Not your call.
