Joe Sacco, the award-winning journalist and cartoonist, discusses his craft and his coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict. He emphasizes the importance of seeking the truth in journalism and recognizing one's own biases. Sacco highlights the dominant narrative that portrays Israelis as righteous and Palestinians as terrorists, but notes that independent media and social media are challenging this perspective. He finds hope in the younger generation in the US, who are shocked by the suffering of Palestinians and are seeking to learn more about the issue. Sacco also acknowledges the risks faced by journalists who report honestly and criticizes the efforts to intimidate them. He sees the current situation as a continuation of the Nakba and the ongoing catastrophe inflicted on the Palestinians.
