https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/bc122595-3201-4e4c-ab33-68de88c52d69 Palestinian writer and poet Ahmed Abu Artema helped inspire the Great March of Return, the mass mobilization demanding Palestinian refugees’ right to return and an end to Israel’s blockade of Gaza. Israel met the demonstrations with sniper fire, killing 212 Palestinians and wounding more than 36,000. Years later, an Israeli missile struck Abu Artema’s family home, killing his 13-year-old son Abdullah and several other relatives and seriously injuring Ahmed and two of his surviving children. After enduring 690 days of genocide, Abu Artema was permitted to leave Gaza with only his documents, telephone and the clothes he was wearing. He now lives in the Netherlands while his family remains scattered across three countries. We welcome Abu Artema, recipient of the 2026 AMEU/John F. and Sharon Mahoney Award for Service, to discuss Israel’s continuing attacks and blockade under the so-called ceasefire, the scars of genocide and exile and what people around the world must do. This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada's livestream on day 1063 of the Gaza genocide. Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman and Jon Elmer were joined by Palestinian writer and poet Ahmed Abu Artema.
