#411 โ€“ Omar Suleiman: Palestine, Gaza, Oct 7, Israel, Resistance, Faith & Islam

Abraham Accords is nothing but an agreement in which you slap the name of Abraham on arms deals in exchange for countries being able to undertake their own unholy pursuits. They use one of the holiest names in history and continue to erase the main victims of this atrocity. And so the Abraham Accords are an insult to humanity, an insult to the Palestinians. and an insult to the name of Abraham.

If they're honest to the plight of the Palestinians, if they are honest to the roots of the problem, absolutely. Look, again, peace is sought, but peace cannot be used to silence. The entire peace process has been hung over the Palestinians all of these years while settlements continue to expand and their situation only continues to get worse.

Is Israel really going to remove the 700,000, 800,000 settlers, right, and suddenly change its tune on a two-state solution? Benjamin Netanyahu is saying right now, and he's speaking to, unfortunately, what is clearly a majority of the Israeli public, that there will never be a Palestinian state.

So these peace talks cannot be used to suffocate all of the work of justice and bringing Israel to accountability. The world has to act when they see apartheid. The world has to act when they see occupation. If the world fails to bring Israel to a place of accountability, then a few countries that have their own agendas

So in general, that framing relies on a sanitization of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and a vilification of Malcolm X that a lot of people do put forth and present as two polar opposites in how they approach the plight of Black people in America and resisting racism here in America.

When I taught a course at Southern Methodist University on MLK and Malcolm X, and Islam and the Civil Rights Movement, what I'd often do is I'd give my students a set of quotes, and I would say, assign this to Malcolm or Martin, and they'd always get it wrong. So you can find quotes from MLK in Breaking the Silence, and especially when he took a stand against the Vietnam War.
