Avi Shlaim: ‘Israel’s Aim is Total Domination and Military Supremacy’
Israel’s war crimes against Palestinian civilians have reached unspeakable levels of violence and horror
The Liberty Beacon staff
Speaking at a screening of the documentary “Under Fire: Israel’s war on medics”, Israeli historian and author Avi Shlaim charted Zionism’s political journey from the founding of the Israeli state to the perpetration of genocide in Gaza by its current government.
Accusing Israel of turning Gaza into a “wasteland” and “mass grave”, Shlaim held international powers responsible for unconditionally supporting the actions of a “fascist” government, adding that they too were on the “wrong side of history”.
Produced by Middle East Eye and presented by award-winning journalist Hind Hassan, the documentary examines Israel’s destruction of the healthcare system in Lebanon and Gaza, shedding light on tactics such as “double-tap strikes” targeting emergency responders attempting to rescue civilians.
The documentary was followed by a panel moderated by MEE presenter Mohammed Hashem, including Hind Hassan, reconstructive surgeons Ghassan Abu Sitta and Victoria Rose, and UK Human Rights Watch Director Yasmine Ahmed, discussing Israel’s dismantling of Gaza’s healthcare system over the past 18 months.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical.
