In advocating for Palestinian freedom, it is not necessary to argue the justness of Palestinian resistance directly. Rather than appealing to Palestinian suffering or justifying their resistance, a more compelling approach is to highlight the criminality of Zionism through the lens of Jewish dissent. This perspective not only confronts Zionists and pro-Israel lobbyists with the …
They cut Late Junction and amplify Israeli hasbara. That may seem like juxtaposing the apparently trivial with the deadly. But it is a good metric for describing the priorities of BBC management. At any rate, one cannot imagine Raffi Berg listening to the subversive strains of Late Junction whilst he waters down Israel’s atrocities. In …
