#391 โ€“ Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine

We're told that we should continue living inside these enclaves without access to clean water, without access to the right to movement, without access to building permits, without our natural right to expansion, without... without a guarantee that if we leave our house, we're not going to be shot, and we're supposed to not do anything about it. That is absurd.

Any person watching this understands this completely. People understand that if somebody is attacking your home, you fight back. If somebody is attacking your family, you fight back. That is not. But again, who gets to call who a terrorist? Who gets to define terrorism? This is all about who has power. Who gets to write these laws? Who gets to write these definitions?

#391 โ€“ Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine

Why is it that American actions in Iraq is not called terrorism by American politicians? Violence is like this... mutating concept, you know, and it takes on many shapes and forms. And if it's in a uniform, if it speaks in English, if it has blonde hair, it's somehow acceptable. It's okay. We make movies about it. You know, we sell out tickets. We make games about it.

But if it's without a uniform, if it has a thick accent, if it has a beard, you know, that's condemnable. That's wrong. That's terrorism, you know?

#391 โ€“ Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine

In general, I think it has been. But I think, you know, I believe in fighting on all fronts. I don't think violence alone is going to bring about change. I think... There's so much to do in culture and shifting public opinion. There's so much to do in media and fighting back against media erasure and censorship. There's so much to do diplomatically and politically.

And I think I would be naive if... I don't take the power imbalance into consideration. One side has makeshift weapons, and the other side is one of the most sophisticated armies in the world. So I don't know how effective violence could be in this case.

We've turned the other cheek generation after generation. There is this Zionist trope that is used against us. They say Palestinian rejectionism. They say that we reject everything.
