Watch the full video here: Gaza Is A “Horror Film“ - Palestinian Writer Susan Abulhawa Journalist Prem Thakker On Al Shifa Palestinian novelist and activist Susan Abulhawa warns that electing Biden would be the “biggest mistake we could ever make” because of the signal “allowing a genocidal war criminal to be reelected,” would “send to the political elite and to the ruling class.” She discusses her the piece she wrote at the Electronic Intifada ‘Reject Biden and build a better world’ and reacts to Hillary Clinton’s appearance on Jimmy Fallon where the Madame Secretary tells people upset by the choice between Trump and Biden to “get over yourself.” Susan replies, “This is the woman who went and tweeted and was so up in arms about the Barbie movie and the fucking Oscars. And meanwhile, Palestinian women are being raped. They're having miscarriages. They're malnourished. They're getting bombed. And not a single word of solidarity of compassion. She does not belong in the ranks of womanhood or even in the ranks of humanity, frankly. And for her to tell us to get over ourselves, I don't think so. I think we need to find a way to make it clear to her and people like her that “no, you need to get the fuck over yourself because we're not going to keep playing this game.” Susan Abulhawa is a Palestinian American writer and human rights activist. She is the author of Mornings in Jenin, which was translated into 32 languages and sold more than a million copies, The Blue Between Sky And Water and Against the Loveless World. She is the founder of Playgrounds for Palestine and the executive director of Palestine Writes (). ***Please support The Katie Halper Show ***For bonus content, exclusive interviews, to support independent media & to help make this program possible, please join us on Patreon - your Katie Halper Show Merch here!
