Just and Unjust Wars: Der Moralphilosoph Michael Walzer hat bereits 1977 ein Standardwerk zum Thema Krieg und Gerechtigkeit publiziert. Ich erinnere mich, dass ich mich im Studium mal ein paar Wochen daran abgearbeitet habe ;-)
Der Journalist Paul Middelhoff hat den 90jährigen Walzer nun zum Krieg im Nahen Osten interviewen können.

Sorry for avoiding indicating that it was a citation from Matt at Vashti. I just corrected my error above.

Vashti "aims to pursue an ongoing inquiry into what it means to be a Jewish leftist".

Here is a piece by Jacob Engelberg: "Can film unteach Hasbara?" https://vashtimedia.com/2020/11/19/issues/review/can-film-unteach-hasbara/

"Alexandrowicz’s perhaps quixotic hope that images of the occupation might force ardent supporters of the Israeli state to question their ideological positions is dashed by Maia."

Vashti - Can film unteach Hasbara?

A new documentary, screened at the UK Jewish Film Festival this week, considers whether exposure to video footage of the plight of Palestinians can change the hearts and minds of Israel’s fiercest advocates.

Blair is one of the Western leaders who shares complicity for this appalling death toll: https://mondediplo.com/2003/07/01ramonet

State lying has been thrown down the memory hole by media outlets who welcome him with open arms.
