What he has to say applies everywhere.

Standing with the Oppressed: the Palestinians

 FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA

In times like these, where there's ethnic cleansing (another Nakba) and 'plausible genocide' occurring in real time in Gaza by the State of Israel via its IDF, we need to stand with the oppressed Palestinians because this is the right and just thing to do.

It's worth looking, then, at this recent powerful speech of Chris Hedges's (a tireless critic of the Zionist State of Israel and its US-led Western supporters) by opening the following YouTube link:

At this moment (3 May 2024), more than 50,000 Palestinians (mostly women and children) have been killed and more than 70,000 (mostly women and children again) have also been wounded by the IDF's ongoing military attacks. Also, over 70% of the Gaza Strip (from hospitals to universities to housing, etc) have been destroyed by the constant bombardment of the IDF. Additionally, all basic infrastructure (water, electricity, etc) has been cut off by the Israeli government, plus outside aid. As well, starvation is being used by the Israeli State as a weapon of war to achieve its goal of ethnic cleansing. There's more to say here, of course, but this should be enough to point out that what the State of Israel is doing is immoral, and, furthermore, it's committing what many critics are calling war crimes.
