Israel’s genocide in Gaza exposes the racism of the international system | Witnessing Palestine
As the International Court of Justice prepares to hear South Africa’s petition accusing Israel of genocide, Frank Barat talks to Francesca Albanese and Susan Abulhawa about the role Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza plays in the global systems of diplomacy, economics, and culture. The outcome of this shocking destruction of a civilian population will have implications for the entire world. Is Palestinian resistance to the Israeli occupation and apartheid really the only thing standing in between a world governed by laws and one subject to the whims of those with money and weapons?
Francesca Albanese is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967. She is an Affiliate Scholar at the Institute for the Study of International Migration at Georgetown University, and a Senior Advisor on Migration and Forced Displacement for the think tank Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), where she co-founded the Global Network on the Question of Palestine (GNQP), a coalition of renowned professional and scholars engaged in/on Israel/Palestine.
Susan Abulhawa is a Palestinian-American writer and political activist. She is the author of Mornings in Jenin—translated into thirty languages—and The Blue Between Sky and Water. Born to refugees of the Six Day War of 1967, she moved to the United States as a teenager, graduated in biomedical science, and established a career in medical science. She is the Executive Director of the Palestine Writes Literary Festival.
