Susan Abulhawa is the author of the critically acclaimed novel "Mornings in Jenin" and has just returned from two weeks in Gaza, where "What’s happening to people isn’t just this death and dismemberment and hunger. It is a total denigration of their personhood."
Hamas explicitly stated that they are not responsible for civilian safety. Hamas should've surrendered and released all hostages as soon as it was obvious that Israel wasn't going to roll over like they had before. Gazans elected Hamas, dug tunnels, built rockets & smuggled weapons for Hamas, cheered in the streets on Oct 7 as bodies and hostages were paraded, and continue to support Hamas. Every humanitarian NGO should've pulled out of Gaza on Oct 8th. Instead, humanitarian groups continue to enable Hamas by providing food and medical assistance.
@democracynow Choices have consequences. Make Hamas your ruler, celebrate in the streets at their atrocities, you should expect bad things to come of it.
@democracynow Why didn't she stay and help work toward the goals of the Palestinian people? (i.e., the defeat of the IDF, the liberation of Al-Quds, the destruction of the Zionist entity, and the establishment of a Hamas-ruled river-to-the-sea Palestinian nation)
@democracynow What's worse than killing someone? Denigrating their personhood.
@democracynow @jeremyscahill So interesting what she said about genocide also being about erasure. It's been very noticable to some of us that politicians, their proxies, and MSM rarely say the word Palestinians. It's "the people there" or "the people in Gaza". They're all complicit in this genocide.
@democracynow Which was expected after 70 yrs of squatting on someone else's land.
@democracynow @GumptionAndCo This situation is horrific! As an MD I am worried about the serious risk of an entire population suffering from PTSD and being helpless to rebuild their lives.
