David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, says that Donald Trump is pushing the United States closer to war with Iran. Hearst warns that this conflict follows the same pattern as Israel’s war on Gaza. The more Iran resists, the more violence it faces. But attacking Iran, he argues, would be the most disastrous US decision since the invasion of Iraq, with potentially greater and longer-lasting consequences. Unlike previous wars, this time Israel is facing a real state with strategic depth

David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, argues that—as with the Vietnam War—two key factors will bring an end to the slaughter in Gaza: the determination of Palestinians to remain on their land, and growing public outrage in the West, which is rapidly turning against Israel. “It is both in Palestine and in the hearts and minds of the West — from which the Zionist project grew, and on which it is so dependent — that this war is being fought,” says Hearst. He believes these two factors w
