Gaza Is A "Horror Film" - Palestinian Writer Susan Abulhawa + Journalist Prem Thakker On Al Shifa

Two grim but neccesary interviews including Susan Abulhawa on how Gaza is WAY worse than we are seeing on the m.s.m. and also the aftermath of the Al Shifa atrocity (largely unreported of course) and the State Department's latest brushing off of the slaughter of seven aid workers in Gaza.

I would love someone to just rush the stage and smash the granny out of Kirby or Miller; there is no more disgusting absurd theatre than watching their "briefings" where the journalists state the truth in their questions and then they pretend that the lies that they reply with are somehow the reality and everyone pretends that they don't know they are lying through their teeth.

...no amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party...So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin.

Christ that Susan Abulhawa interview is horrific; IDF torturing prisoners, carving stars of David and smiley faces into their backs, branding their faces with stars of David all to absolutely no outcry in the media.

Colourful!

Will watch the interview later, thx for posting - though can't say I'm particularly looking forward to it. Seems more of a duty at this point to bear witness, rather than to result in anything actionable. I thought about writing to the local MP the other day before reminding myself that it would make f* all difference... or am I being too pessimistic? Fink says stay in it for the long game and you can't expect to see immediate results, but it would be good for morale to have a single result to point to after over a hundred years of this outrage.

cheers,
I

But Israel disputes this

There was a quite incredible "interview" on Newsnight last might with an Israeli spokesman who denied there was a starvation in Gaza and said there was in fact plenty of food but that Hamas was hoarding it or stopping it reaching the population. Instead of challenging this the weak and useless interviewer (forgotten his name) lobbed a few soft queries at him and finished with profuse grovelling thanks for his taking part.

As has been remarked a number of times, just imagine this interview had it been Russia that was bombing a captive population of over 2 million and murdering over 32,000, most of them women and children.

These are desperate, despairing times to be living in.
