With impunity and complicity of western states, Israel ratcheted up its 15-year illegal and criminal War on Gaza to unimaginable extremes under cover of the "War on Terror." The death, destruction and suffering of Palestinians since October 7 has not been in vain; it has brought hope and reality of a new, open future for Palestine and for the world.<br class=""><br class="">October 7 changed everything - it upended the "grand chessboard" of empire across the planet. What are the implications? How has the sacrifice of the Palestinian people helped to free the world from a dying empire which has trashed the planet.<br class=""><br class="">October 7 turned the image and reality of Palestine-Israel upside down. Decades and generations of mind colonization by Zionist-Israeli narrative has been turned on its head and the world especially in the west is now seeing things for what they are. Just as the land and people of Palestine are de-colonizing, minds in the west are also in process of becoming de-colonized.<br class=""><br class="">Amid the desolation and despair pressing down on the world there is also light. This wide-ranging talk by Robert Massoud provides context and brings perspective to the genocide in Gaza. It ultimately points to hope and optimism that we are finally turning a corner albeit at enormous cost exacted by empire scheming and war crimes.<br class=""><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5px;"><br class="">Speaker: <br class=""></div><div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17.5px;">Robert Massoud is the founder of Zatoun, Fair Trade olive oil from Palestine.
