Israel wiped entire Palestinian cities off the map. Writer, poet, and journalist Ahmed Abu Artema joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to discuss what he saw and experienced during the genocide and how he was evacuated to the Netherlands last month. He explains that: “they are claiming that [they] are fighting Hamas. They murdered 20,000 children, they destroyed 85 percent of the houses of Gaza, they destroyed the hospitals, the universities, complete cities were wiped out from the map. So what is Hamas? They’re problem is with the Palestinian people themselves, the Palestinian existence itself.”
Ali Abunimah discusses the significance of the “recognition” of the “State of Palestine” by a number of Western countries. Is it a step forward or a distraction?
