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

Gaza has been described as the world's largest open-air prison, unemployment, blockaded from all directions, no airport. Um, regular added restrictions placed even on their ability to fish. So every aspect of Ghazdan life has been under occupation. I would argue that it's an injustice to even call it an open air prison because

Inmates are not bombed in prisons routinely by the most sophisticated weapons in the world. Regular bombardment of Gaza, every single person in Gaza has lived through multiple rounds of bombardment. It is deeply distressing. I remember in 2021, there was an image that I will never forget of children having to go back to school after the bombardment of 2021.

And next to them, they would have the empty chairs and the posters of the child that used to sit in that chair. I think what encapsulates it most for me An image that I grew up with was the image of Muhammad al-Durra, who was in his father's lap over 20 years ago. And his father was begging for Israel to spare his child. And Muhammad was murdered in his lap.

And you know what happened this last round? His other kids were murdered. So Muhammad's brothers were murdered, and his father's been on the run. Every single person in Gaza has witnessed multiple wars, has witnessed the greatest suffocation of occupation, has even had their diets restricted, and has suffered under Israel's state policy, which is called mowing the lawn.

And everyone should look this up. This is what Israeli ministers refer to as routine bombardment of Gaza, mowing the lawn, which shows you that before they called us animals, they considered us insects.

There are people that are in the Gaza Strip that know that they had homes right beyond that apartheid wall, and those homes were stolen from them, and they can't even enter that territory anymore. And they know that on the other side of that wall, there's life. On the other side of that wall, there's opportunity.
