Jeremy Scahill says young people are waking up to decades of lies about Palestinians: “We are told to believe these are terrorists… young and free-thinking people are recognizing the lies they have been told. This is one of the most legitimate causes of national liberation in the history of humanity.”
Scahill also discusses Arab nations' complicity and the push to deploy troops following the UN Security Council vote.

Scahill says “Saudi Arabia and the UAE from the very beginning really wanted Israel to crush Hamas,” and lays out why their rhetoric doesn’t match their actions. He challenges claims of regional solidarity: “Oh ‘We’re at war with the Zionist entity’… Ok, you’re at war. Have you done anything in that war? Are you going to do anything about the fact that they’re burning children alive every day… that you have Israeli terrorists known as settlers running around burning Qurans… that they’re raping prisoners?”
Instead, he says, “what your action is on the ground is to be the death squads for the Israelis.”
