Honored to be asked by Susan to produce this short piece for an important book. via @susanabulhawa: I'm excited to announce a forthcoming anthology, EVERY MOMENT IS A LIFE: GAZA IN THE TIME OF GENOCIDE, published by @OneSignalPub, and available for pre-order at any bookseller. This book was born from a series of eight writing workshops that I held in Gaza with young people under the auspices of the Culture & Free Thought Association (CFTA) in 2024. The collection comprises short stories from 18 talented individuals. Each is a small window into their lives as they struggle to survive a genocide. You'll read about waiting in line to use a shared bathroom, or to buy bread; about letting go a precious bed frame to have firewood; about childbirth, friendship, a cup of coffee by the sea, and delirium born of chaotic thoughts; about losing an aunt, rescuing clothes, mending a shoe, going from tent to tent, finding transportation, buying diapers, hiding books, and the terror of getting detained when you're deaf; about raising someone else's toddler; about family and a prayer to have something left. I'm grateful to my friend, renowned author Huzama Habayeb, who edited the Arabic originals once we compiled all the stories. I'm proud of each of the wonderful writers who contributed to the book. And I'm honored to play a part in ensuring that Palestinians in Gaza tell their own stories, in their own voices, with an understanding and intimacy that no one but they possess.

I, too, am curious!

Mamdani would have never won without the sacrifices of the people of Gaza. If he doesn’t pay them back and stands firm in the face of lobbying, it will be outright treachery.

No. Settler colonialism alone does not explain it. There is a deep unprecedented depravity among Israeli society stemming from their cultural glorification of sadistic violence beginning w their serial child-raping child-serial-murdering founding giggling grandfathers

BREAKING: Dick Cheney, the architect of a war that killed a million Iraqi civilians based on a lie about WMDs, is dead. May his death remind the American people to stop believing our politicians when they try to lie us into another war as they are doing right now with Venezuela.

When the world rallied in support of the South African struggle for liberation against the cruel white domination system of apartheid, Palestinians never tried to push ourselves to the front of the line to claim that the world was ignoring us just because they’re racist against us, since we too were suffering under a system of codified racism. To the contrary, we stood in solidarity in every conceivable way – rhetorically, spiritually, socially, materially, and militarily. That has been true in every moment of injustice that became widely recognized, despite the fact that Israel’s violence against us has been unrelenting and horrific for nearly 80 years. Even now as images emerge from Sudan, people in Gaza, who are barely surviving an active genocide, are posting in solidarity with our fellow human beings in Sudan. And yet we see so many people now begrudge this rare moment of global recognition that Palestinian suffering has garnered, as Israel’s unfathomable violence and sadism rains on Palestinians with no place to run, no place to hide. They claim it is only because of anti-black or anti Jewish racism that makes the world focus on Gaza. Empathy is not a zero sum game. Focusing on the empire’s center of gravity is not racism, nor is it to the exclusion of empathy and mobilization in other arenas. Those who would suggest otherwise are either paid propagandist or unwitting players in a psy-op theatre. There are ways that we can all deepen our political analyses and understandings of the world to break away from this kind of divide-and-genocide discourse.

I had an experience today. So.... To any reporter who thinks to ask me about October 7, go to hell and don't bother to contact me or my agent. I do not worship at the alter of October 7. I do not worship at the altar of the WWII holocaust. I do not worship at the alter of Jewishness, antisemitism, or any other penance imposed by zionists on the world. Zionism is a disease of jewish supremacy that rots your brain and dulls even minimal critical thinking skills.
