Deeply fascinating debate translated throughout this thread here, the kind you will never see broadcast in the American media.
After more than two years of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, Al Araby TV hosted a rare on-air debate from the ruins of Al-Shifa Hospital, between Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem, Fatah spokesperson Munther Hayek, and veteran Palestinian writer and lawyer Mustafa Ibrahim. They discuss October 7, resistance, governance, unity, and the political “day after.” In the opening exchange, host Islam Badr frames the central question facing Palestinians following two years of annihilation: who has the authority to decide war and peace. Hamas’ Qassem explains that Hamas has long sought a collective national decision through elections, reconciliation, and joint resistance structures, agreeing that decisions about how to confront Israel should be made through a unified Palestinian institution, not by any single faction. @islambader_1988 | @AlarabyTV Full discussion in thread below 🧵

Reminder: the world’s richest person, 50 other billionaire donors, the whole of the Republican Party, tech oligarchs, the US chamber of commerce, oil and gas interests, a sprawling network of corporate-backed think tanks are NOT “the elite” but associate editors at Teen Vogue are
"Donald Trump, just sworn in as president, was reelected to be a wrecking ball, a middle finger, the people’s punch to the Beltway’s mouth. Some say this populist moment feels "unprecedented." It's not. The rebuke of the ruling class is encoded in our nation's DNA."

Bari Weiss, a bold truth teller banished by the elites for her iconoclast, fearsome opinions. This is what happens to people who take on centers of power, they are forced to party with large corporations, senators and miscellaneous famous people
