UK journalist, co-founder and editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye

David Hearst is a British journalist who is co-founder and editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye. He is a commentator and speaker on the region and analyst on Saudi Arabia.[1]

David Hearst was the Guardian's foreign leader writer until November 2013, and was correspondent in Russia, Europe, and Belfast.[2] He joined the Guardian from the Scotsman, where he was education correspondent.[3]

Gaza-Israel conflict

On 13 October 2023, seven days after the 2023 Gaza−Israel conflict flared up, Double Down News published a 12-minute video on Youtube presented by David Hearst.

He began: "If there’s blood on anyone’s hands it’s on those who say 'Israel has a right to defend itself'. If there's anyone who is guilty for the bloodshed that is going on, it is the International Community particularly Britain."

David Hearst, who revealed that half his family were killed in the Holocaust, went on to give a remarkably Palestinian-biased perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.[4]

Brilliantly articulated

A commentator said:

"As a fellow British Jew, shocked at the recent events in Israel but even more shocked at the bloodlust now being shown by Israelis and their supporters in the West towards ordinary Palestinians, I thank you for this video.
"You have so brilliantly articulated everything that I would wish to say on the subject and I pray that this video gets seen by the sort of numbers of people watching the hateful justifications for the unfolding war crime that I see all over YouTube at the moment."[5]

"This war could collapse Israel"

This war on Gaza could be the end of Israel

In another video on Christmas Eve, David Hearst said:

"This war has been an astonishing miscalculation for Israel, as well as being a moral and legal disaster, it's a military one as well."

Hearst argues that this war on Gaza could be the end of Israel.[6]
