🕊️ Okay, folks.
Part 2 of 4 today, in a deep-dive series for #OnlySky.
We continue our look at Israeli state politics by interrogating Western complicity in Middle Eastern trauma.
Before we can reckon honestly with the internal state crisis under Netanyahu, we need to own up to the self-serving reasons why Western powers intervened in regional politics in the past.
Still not an easy topic!
But definitely important for returning dignity to all.

@MLClark A somewhat related topic is western boycotts of investments in Israel. This segment of On The Media discusses the documentary #Boycott and the linkages between the Israeli Ministry of Strategic Affairs, the evangelical movement in the U.S., #ALEC (American Legislative Exchange Council) and big business which resulted in boycotts of any business whatsoever not being protected speech in the states covered by the federal appeals court for 8th district.

@peterquirk Oh, terrific. Downloaded for my evening run, thank you!
@MLClark To what extent do the current struggles in Israel owe their genesis to the failure to define a constitution?
