Every Israel-Palestine Debate In A Nutshell
from JOHNSTONE · host Caitlin Johnstone and Tim Foley
Basically every Israel-Palestine debate goes like this: “Israel did X.” “Yeah, because Hamas did Y.” “Yeah, because Israel did Z.” “Yeah but only because the Palestinians keep doing A.” “Okay but that’s wouldn’t have happened of the Israelis hadn’t been doing B.” “But that only happened because the Arabs did C!” But if you bring the debate back far enough in time, eventually you get to the part where the western world forcibly dropped a brand new ethnostate on top of a pre-existing civilization without the permission of — and to the extreme detriment of — the people who were already living there. Reading by Tim Foley.
