Amidst the ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza by Israeli forces, we sought to understand and reflect on the narratives surrounding this human rights issue. We speak to Sholto Byrnes for his observations on the Middle East, as well as the attitudes of the Global North on the narratives and beliefs that are taking hold in the region, and the complex realities behind the issue.
