EDITOR—A wide-ranging discussion of the situation in Palestine with Middle East expert and anti-imperialist/Zionist Norman Finkelstein, as world opinion is buffeted by the West’s and specifically Israel’s propaganda machine to justify total ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by the Zionist regime, while most of the Global South and alt media present the Palestinian attack on Israel from the perspective of undeniably oppressed, enslaved people seeking liberation.

CAITLIN JOHNSTONE—The coming days are going to be full of western news media slyly reversing the aggressor-defender relationship and reporting as though all the violence began with the Hamas offensive, spontaneously out of nowhere.
