My latest article on the desperate attempt of right wing nuts and pro-Israel propagandists to make Ahmed al Ahmed a Christian because a Muslim hero messes up their narrative.
Zaher Nasser Shamia. Shot by Israeli soldiers, left to bleed, then run over by an Israeli bulldozer. A picture of his body would be too graphic for social media. Gaza exposed the conditional nature of human worth in global politics. “Never again” meant never again for specific races and ethnic groups.
Having survived civil war, famine, and displacement, thousands of Somalis are raising children born in this country who still feel the shadow of the previous generations’ trauma. They should not have to endure political dehumanization in the country they now call, and contribute to as, home.
"It’s not a genocide", but Gaza’s economy collapsed 83%. "It’s not a genocide", but the night sky shows a place erased from the face of the earth. "It’s not a genocide", but millions have been forced into hunger, tents, and unending fear. The satellite image was within months of the onslaught. There is zero grid electricity in Gaza. What does it look like now?
