Finding and Reminding
5 February 2022
John Pilger is doing what he does best: alerting the viewer of oppression and tyranny that he/she otherwise would not have been aware of. He's extraordinarily adept at finding and reminding. That is finding the acts of state sanctioned tyranny and reminding the world that it is still going on. It doesn't matter if it's in Australia ("The Secret Country: The First Australians Fight Back"), East Timor ("Death of a Nation: The Timor Conspiracy"), Latin America ("The War on Democracy"), or Palestine ("Palestine is Still the Issue"). He boldly and humbly goes to different parts of the world to allow the downtrodden and marginalized to speak.

In "Palestine is Still the Issue" he shows how apartheid, occupation, and state sanctioned terrorism continues to occur in occupied Palestine under the guise of "defense" while the western world turns a blind eye. As long as Israel has the backing and the blessing of the U. S. they can and will continue to usurp Palestinian land and spill Palestinian blood. The silence from the western nations is deafening.
