Daniel Kovalik on the Health Ranger Report: The UNSEEN CONFLICT happening in Palestine

03/10/2025 / By Kevin Hughes

Daniel Kovalik, an international human rights lawyer, discusses the Palestinian conflict, highlighting the Nakba’s ongoing impact on Palestinians and challenging the uninhabited land narrative.
Kovalik describes the Israeli bombing of Gaza as genocide, citing severe humanitarian crises and the targeting of civilians and infrastructure.
He criticizes U.S. military support for Israel, linking it to lobbying, media influence, and religious narratives, and calls for Americans to pressure their representatives to end funding.
Kovalik advocates for a one-state solution, emphasizing coexistence in a democratic, multi-ethnic, and multi-religious state, as the current apartheid system is unsustainable.
He believes international and regional interventions, including economic pressures, are necessary for peace and justice in the region.

In a “Health Ranger Report” interview on Brighteon.com, author and human rights lawyer Daniel Kovalik delved into the deeply complex and often misunderstood history of Palestine, shedding light on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Hosted by the Health Ranger Mike Adams, the conversation revealed a side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that is often overshadowed by mainstream media narratives and political rhetoric.

Kovalik, a Pittsburgh-based lawyer, professor and author, brings a unique perspective to the discussion. With a career spanning over 26 years as in-house counsel for the United Steel Workers Union and 12 years teaching international human rights law at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, Kovalik has a wealth of experience in social and political issues. His recent book, “The Case for Palestine: Why it Matters and Why You Should Care,” offers a comprehensive and accessible look at the history and current state of the Palestinian struggle.

Kovalik emphasized that the history of Palestine is often overlooked or deliberately obscured, particularly in the United States. The “Nakba,” a term meaning “catastrophe,” refers to the forced displacement of over 750,000 Palestinians from their homes in 1947 to 1948. This event, the human rights advocate argues, is a crucial part of understanding the current situation in Gaza and the broader Middle East.

The myth of “a land without a people for a people without a land” has long been used to justify the establishment of Israel, but Kovalik debunks this narrative. The land was indeed inhabited, and the displacement and violence that followed have had profound and lasting impacts on the Palestinian people.

Kovalik: The Nakba didn’t end in 1948

According to Kovalik, the Nakba did not end in 1948. It continues today with every home destroyed, every family displaced and every life lost.

The conversation between the Health Ranger and the human rights lawyer then turned to the escalation of violence in Gaza, where Israel relentlessly bombed Palestinian homes. According to Kovalik, the situation has reached a level of humanitarian crisis that can only be described as genocide.

As per a letter published July 2024 in the respected medical journal Lancet, the number of Palestinians killed since the Oct. 7 Operation Al-Aqsa Flood attack launched by Hamas is estimated to be at least 186,000. Women and children comprise the vast majority of this number, the letter continues.

Kovalik highlighted the systematic nature of the attacks, noting that Israel has targeted not only civilians but also journalists, medical workers and United Nations facilities. “This is a war against humanity,” he said, emphasizing the need for international intervention and accountability.

The role of the U.S. and the future of Palestine and Israel

America’s role in the conflict is a critical point of discussion. Despite the overwhelming evidence of human rights abuses, the U.S. continues to provide military support to Israel, including advanced weaponry and ammunition. Kovalik described this support as “a moral and political failure,” urging Americans to pressure their representatives to stop funding the war.

The interview also touched on the political dynamics within the U.S., where many conservative politicians, despite advocating for other human rights and constitutional principles, have remained staunch supporters of Israel, even in the face of overwhelming evidence of atrocities. Kovalik attributed this to a combination of political lobbying, media influence and a distorted religious narrative.

Kovalik advocates for a one-state solution, where Palestinians and Israelis can coexist in a multi-ethnic, multi-religious democracy. He argues that the current apartheid system in Israel, where non-Jewish citizens, particularly Palestinians, are systematically marginalized, is unsustainable. The laywer stated the only path forward is one of equality and justice.

The conversation also addressed the potential for regional and international intervention. Countries like Turkey and Egypt, with their close ties to both Palestine and Israel, may play a crucial role in bringing an end to the conflict.

Kovalik suggested that economic levers, such as shutting off energy supplies to Israel, could be effective non-violent measures to pressure the Israeli government. In conclusion, both Kovalik and Adams called for a renewed commitment to peace and justice.

Adams emphasized that the bloodshed must stop and there must be respect for the dignity and humanity of all people, regardless of their background or beliefs.
