“People think they’re going to lose something by talking about Palestine. But they should think about what they lose by not talking about Palestine.”
From my interview with Ta-Nehisi Coates.
Celebrated author and poet Mosab Abu Toha has been kidnapped by the Israeli army in Gaza as he was fleeing with his family, Dianna Buttu reports. We demand his immediate release and the release of his wife and children.
This man sits at the apex of the American journalism establishment. He has a source—the well-known Palestinian peace activist Issa Amro—literally beaten in front of him, and he feels bad for … the Israeli soldiers.
I never had a source assaulted in front of me until today when an Israeli soldier who stopped my interview did this with a Palestinian peace activist Issa Amro in Hebron. I can't stop thinking how dehumanizing the occupation is on the young soldiers charged with enforcing it.
