A Reckoning With Nothing
More Pity for Genocidaires
"The documentation of most crimes does not begin with a confession by the perpetrator, and this is especially true in Palestine. To suggest that the world rely on the confessions of perpetrators of violence to gauge the crimes of the state directing them is nothing short of an attempt to obscure genocide, not unlike the war crimes described but not identified in this article which do not even scratch the surface of the depravity we have all witnessed, live, for three years."

I don't know what else No Other Land has, but one thing is that it raised awareness of the horrific situation in Palestine, which led to a willingness to support and to pressure local and national governments to do more to support Palestine.

It was my question for people who wanted to criticise the Palestinian criticism in the article, which is about an interview with an Israeli war criminal in the Economist.
Yes, I agree it might have done that, but also nothing much material. People have been putting pressure on their governments before the documentary came out: student encampments, mass demonstrations, even blocking bridges.
In the meantime the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank continues as does the genocide in Gaza, with the full support of Western democracies who use our protests to strengthen their oppression at home.
