ISRAEL NEVER WANTS PEACE Ilan Pappé RIPS Into Israel’s History at Oxford Union Debate
Historian Ilan Pappé argues against the motion that Israel has ever genuinely sought peace with the Palestinians during an Oxford Union debate. Pappé presents Zionism as a colonial project, arguing that its establishment and continuation involved violence, coercion and British imperial support. He also describes modern Israel as an apartheid state, citing assessments by human rights organisations, and argues that Palestinian demands for democracy and self-determination were systematically suppressed, culminating in what he describes as the ethnic cleansing of 1948. Pappé concludes by urging the audience to reject the idea that Israel has sought peace and frames the issue as a moral choice over whether to remain complicit or stand on what he calls the “right side of history”. The claims and characterisations in this video reflect Pappé’s arguments during the debate.

It's time to talk about the bombshell new article in Haaretz that reveals Netanyahu was warned Hamas was planning a "major operation" before October 7th.
But we're more interested in the second revelation: that Hamas actually OFFERED to release the hostages at 7pm the night of the attack.
A new report alleges that Israeli authorities and security forces have "deliberately carried out acts inflicting death and severe bodily and mental harm on hundreds of thousands of Palestinian children", and that the killings continued even after last October's ceasefire in Gaza.
The commission says it has reasonable grounds to conclude that those acts "form part of a deliberate strategy to destroy the future of the Palestinians in Gaza by targeting their children".

Two years later, he was overthrown in a covert coup backed by the CIA and Britain. This is the story of how one week in August changed Iran and still shapes the country to this day.
