#391 – 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?

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.

But if you look at the history, like our leadership, the Palestinian Authority has given up inch after inch, has compromised on acre after acre, has signed deal after deal after deal after deal, and still there is no peace. So turning the other cheek is not the most effective method in my book.

The occupation comes to mind, the political policies come to mind, the siege comes to mind, the asymmetry of the judiciary comes to mind. The whole system needs to be dismantled.

#391 – Mohammed El-Kurd: Palestine

There are millions of Palestinian refugees who are living in excruciating circumstances in refugee camps around the world. There are thousands of Palestinian prisoners who are held in prisons for defending their homes, hundreds of which are held without charge or trial, by the way. There are...
