Can’t wait to discuss this great new book Don’t Say Palestine with @AssalRad tomorrow which manifests what she’s long said, “if you’re not writing the truth about crimes against humanity, you’re culpable in them” @KPFK @penguinrandom @DAWNmenaorg @ArabCenterDC
After everything we’ve seen over the last 3 years if you’re still trying to deny a genocide, instead of stopping it, it’s because you don’t see Palestinians as human beings. That’s it.
