On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Dr. Diana Buttu, Former Legal Advisor and Negotiator for the Palestinian Liberation Organisation. She discusses what it has been like witnessing the Israeli reaction to the October 7th Anniversary from Ramallah and Israelis lack of recognition of anything they have done to Palestinians over the last year of genocide, Israel’s de facto designation of anyone opposing Israeli military rule as a ‘combatant’, whether Americans will recognise that the aid for Israel could pay for natural disaster responses and public services that they don’t have, the crackdown on pro-Palestine activists and free speech in the US’ university campuses, Israel’s glorification of the genocide against Palestinians in pop culture, the Israeli press’ role exposing the lies about October 7th while simultaneously cheering on genocide and Israel’s escalations, Western media’s role as stenographers parroting Israel’s propaganda rather than questioning Israeli atrocities, the harrowing accounts of torture and maltreatment she has heard from Palestinians who have been held hostage by the Israeli army, the ICC’s failure to issue an arrest warrant for Israeli officials and her conclusion that it is just a court to go after Vladimir Putin and African leaders, the need for accountability against Israeli soldiers who have committed these war crimes, Israel’s growing confidence about pursuing regime change across the region while simultaneously being surprised at the level of resistance after one year since the genocide started, why it makes no difference to Palestinians if Kamala Harris or Donald Trump is elected in November, the US’ number one policy being to keep the Israeli colonial entity in place, how long it will take for the sickness of supremacist Israeli Zionism to be removed, and much more.
