"Genocide Starts in the Mind"

Ahmed Abu Artema on life and death in Gaza

Share

Our guest is the Palestinian journalist and activist Ahmed Abu Artema, a co-organizer of Gaza’s 2018 Great March of Return. In October 2023, Israel killed his eldest son, Abdullah, and five other relatives. A few weeks ago, he left Gaza for the Netherlands. He wrote about his departure in the Dutch newspaper, De Correspondent. He talked with us about surviving a genocide and living with the memory of those who did not.

Last night, I saw Van Jones’s recent comments about Gaza on Bill Maher’s show and felt the need to address them. You can watch here.
