JOHNSTONE February Issue: Exposing The Ugly Reality Of War Crimes

Caitlin Johnstone

The February edition of JOHNSTONE is now available and ready to order or download, with this month’s issue again focused on the destruction of Gaza and the plight of Julian Assange.

As of this writing Assange’s fate for publishing on US war crimes is being deliberated by British judges while the rest of the world is being startled awake to the reality of what the pat phrase “war crimes” has really meant this whole time. For too long the western empire has successfully hidden its depravity from its subjects, but the stark reality of Gaza and the images of what western bombs do to human flesh now means we can’t pretend that exposing war crimes is the kind of journalism we can do without.
