A Global Call for Justice
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached unprecedented levels, raising urgent questions about international accountability and the enforcement of human rights standards. For years, Israel's blockade of Gaza has severely restricted access to essential supplies, leaving millions of Palestinians in dire conditions. These actions, widely regarded as "collective punishment," are in direct violation of international humanitarian law, specifically Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
Cultural Propaganda
Israel’s government openly acknowledges its use of cultural initiatives to promote its image and divert attention from its apartheid policies. Former Israeli Foreign Ministry official Nissim Ben-Sheetrit admitted, “We see culture as a propaganda tool of the first rank, and do not differentiate between propaganda and culture.” This strategy, known as the “Brand Israel” campaign, seeks to present Israel as a beacon of civilization and culture while masking its oppressive actions against Palestinians.
