What I Witnessed in Gaza Is a Holocaust: Palestinian Writer Susan Abulhawa

Publicado 2024-03-06
We speak with Palestinian novelist, poet and activist Susan Abulhawa, who is in Cairo and just returned from two weeks in Gaza. “What’s happening to people isn’t just this death and dismemberment and hunger. It is a total denigration of their personhood, of their whole society,” says Abulhawa. “What I witnessed personally in Rafah and some of the middle areas is incomprehensible, and I will call it a holocaust — and I don’t use that word lightly. But it is absolutely that.”

It's hell out there yet some people still can't call it as it is a genocide

this is beyond disgusting, Netanyahu must be held to account for this

Thank you DN for hosting Susan Abulhalwa. The situation in Gaza is appalling and should shame all people of conscience. There needs to be an immediate ceasefire and enough aid admitted. No way around this!

When there is no international law enforcement, the oppressor has a carte blanche to do whatever they want.

“He looked on in silence at the proof of what Israelis already know, that their history is contrived from the bones and traditions of Palestinians. The Europeans who came knew neither hummus nor falafel but later proclaimed them 'authentic Jewish cuisine'. They claimed the villas of Qatamon as 'old Jewish homes." They arrived from foreign nations and uncovered coins in Palestines earth from the Canaanites, the Romans, the Ottomans, then sold them as their own 'ancient Jewish artifacts.' They came to Jaffa and found oranges the size of watermelons and said, "Behold! The Jews are known for their oranges." But those oranges were the culmination of centuries of Palestinian farmers perfecting the art of citrus growing.” ― Susan Abulhawa, Mornings in Jenin

The World will never forget the Israelis for what they did here. Never. You WILL be held accountable, rest assured, and reckoning WILL come.

Thanks for this report and Susan for her first hand account. "The reality on the ground is infinitely worst...", this sums up the inhumane suffering.
