I refused to provide a photo opportunity to the Biden administration because it has aided and abetted the killing of 85 members of my family. I hope they take the time to read about the nightmare all Palestinians in Gaza are living through.
Genocide is Israel’s latest policy, alongside ethnic cleansing and apartheid, in its settler colonial project of eliminating the Palestinians.
Israel has announced its intention to push ahead with its plans to invade Rafah in the southernmost Gaza Strip, where 1.3 million Palestinians are sheltering. Rafah’s mayor, Ahmed al-Sufi, warns any military action there would result in a “massacre”.
The dehumanization of Muslims and Arabs combined with outright misinformation about October 7 is the engine powering the genocide in Gaza.
A recent Guardian article documenting CNN’s bias toward Israel was impressive but lacked one crucial detail: Why CNN has such bias. You don’t have to look farther than CEO David Zaslav to understand the answer is Zionism.
Even Joe Biden admits that Israel’s conduct in Gaza is “over the top,” while the Israeli army has continued to intensify its attacks following Netanyahu’s rejection of Hamas’s most recent ceasefire proposal.
A delegation of Biden officials are visiting Muslim and Arab leaders in Michigan today to try to reverse plummeting support for the president over Gaza, but no number of hastily arranged meetings can repair this rift.
Those who say that Israel knew about the plans for October 7 all along are repackaging an old colonial trope which believes that the natives are too docile, too submissive, too cowardly, and too inferior to revolt against their oppressors.
