We speak with celebrated Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha for his first interview after he was jailed and beaten by Israeli forces, when he was detained at a checkpoint in Gaza while heading to Rafah with his family. He was rounded up with scores of other Palestinians. "I felt humiliated. I felt terrified and terrorized by this army because they were ordering us to do everything at gunpoint," says Toha, now in Cairo. He calls on Western leaders to stop supporting the violence against Palestinians. "If you can't stop the war, if you can't stop the carnage, the genocide, just stop financing it."

It is a shame for all humanity. We will never be the same.
I agree
me too!@@michaelgnit8476
Have you heard about the holocaust? The systematic killing of Millions. Well, everything since, stayed the same. I hope you are right but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
PBUU
Agreed! I feel numb
That's what you get for having your work published by an outlet whose Editor-in-Chief is a former then-only-butcherous occupation's prison guard.
It's awful how we can take so much for granted. I'm a woman and to hear these women don't have access to sanitary items is deplorable. Not only that not to have access to the basic needs to bathe, this is inhumane!!! The smell of death, no access to medical care, especially emergency care, no prenatal care, this is disgusting and disgraceful! What have we become? As of right now, I see no candidate from either party I would waste my vote on! Who is running this country?! Where is the real leadership?! May God have mercy on our souls!!!!
it will be much, much worse if donnie gets back into office. muslims in the usa will be deported. count on it.
Israel and the WEF are running the EU and the US. And people in the EU and the US are programmed daily by their channels and politicians to only support the "poor Israelis" and wipe pout Hamas and all Palestinians.
Not everybody goes on line to get their news and then many just digest the couple of sentences on Twitter or TicTok.
there are women who had c-sections without anesthesia! 😔
hate and war is what happens when damaged males rule
please if enuf of us support and vote for Cornel West i believe it can be better as well as *istoric by actually forcin* a 3rd party!
I am deeply sorry for what you and your family have been through Mr. Toha, I am praying that you find peace and safety❤

Not all injuries are visible and it doesn't hurt to pray for someone regardless of whether they are lying or not
Thank you Democracy Now for exposing the injustice in this world…
Nothing to expose,, 32 countries are at war around the world... Im not exposing it a fact... If you cared you would know...
@garysmith many terrorist groups call for the destruction of their enemy/occupier. It's one thing to call for it and one thing to to engage in it. Who, at the moment, is engaging in the total destruction of their enemy (mostly women and children)?

The guy has no visible injuries, he could be lying
His frustration is understandable and he isn’t minimizing the rope, he is rightfully asking why and how can the world allow hospitals, shelters and kids be bombed. How do we let them starve and lack basic necessities.
💯💯💯
For the western governments, only money talks. The weapons manufacturers are laughing all the way to bank and the politicians make a fortune from the Israel lobby and the stockmarket. Nothing is about citizens. History just repeats itself. I am in the later part of my life, and I have learned to hate this horrible cruel world
@@samara6041 Thats 300%,,, lve seen upto 500%...
They are actually bombing themself. An estimated 10-20% of rockets they shoot into Israeli civilian areas are misfires and land in the Palestinian area. It's quite probable that one such misfire claimed over 800 victims as the rocket hit a parking lot near the hospital. The Human Rights Watch investigation is not conclusive but it's a more likely explanation. It looks like this: people donate money for Palestinians to have drainage and water supply, Hamas turns those pipes into rockets. The democratic world funds 19 hospitals in Palestine, and Hamas puts inside their HQs... local people are either acting indifferently or outright supporting (they were holding public events for local people to watch live-streamed terror attacks and the turnout was very good). You can find plenty of evidence of these things just google... Israeli forces are actually calling phones under the addresses which they intend to bomb. I cannot remember any military conflict where any nation would made such an effort to protect civilians even at the risk of warning their adversaries
I hate that my tax dollars are being used to facilitate this genocide, and crimes against humanity. This is horrible and sick.😢☠️💀👿
My dear, no answers to your questions.. Crying my eyes out..
Prayers from India
Number of people killed in Gaza 18 ,000, including 5,000, thousands of children and thousands under the rubble as a result of the bombing
Did you cry your eyes out when Hamas terrorists killed, maimed, burnt Jewish ladies, babies, children and elderly people besides taking many captives? Prayers for Israel from India.
What you sow so shall you reap. The Arabs are making the same mistakes from the beginning of the last century. They opposed the Jews to comeback and settle in their ancestral homeland. They attacked Israel from all directions when the Jewish people were weak and vulnerable. They refused to accept the two state solution every time when it was offered to them on a platter by the UNO. They went on mustering Islamic armies and attacking Israel on their holy days. They pledged to wipe out Jews from the world and acted in that direction time and again.
I quote Psalm 83 for you to know that God of Israel fights for them.
O God, do not keep silence;
do not hold your peace or be still, O God!
2For behold, your enemies make an uproar;
those who hate you have raised their heads.
3They lay crafty plans against your people;
they consult together against your treasured ones.
4They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation;
let the name of Israel be remembered no more!”
5For they conspire with one accord;
against you they make a covenant-
6the tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites,
Moab and the Hagrites,
7Gebal and Ammon and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8Asshur also has joined them;
they are the strong arm of the children of Lot. Selah
9Do to them as you did to Midian,
as to Sisera and Jabin at the river Kishon,
10who were destroyed at En-dor,
who became dung for the ground.
11Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
all their princes like Zebah and Zalmunna,
12who said, “Let us take possession for ourselves
of the pastures of God.”
13O my God, make them like whirling dust,a
like chaff before the wind.
14As fire consumes the forest,
as the flame sets the mountains ablaze,
15so may you pursue them with your tempest
and terrify them with your hurricane!
16Fill their faces with shame,
that they may seek your name, O LORD.
17Let them be put to shame and dismayed forever;
let them perish in disgrace,
18that they may know that you alone,
whose name is the LORD,
are the Most High over all the earth.

@@lyndonclarke4693 Gazans could leave through the Egyptian border if Egypt let them but they don’t want them in Egypt. I don’t mean now, but before all this. Gaza has its own terrorist group government that restricts freedoms. No freedom of the press, women forced to wear hijabs and other Islamic rules-basic things we can do in the West. Israel has no obligation to let them through their borders, and rightly so. Palestinians had no problem leaving to go to Iraq to join IS IS and hence kill Iraqis, most of whom were children.
People aren’t free within their own countries. Look what’s happening in Sudan with their civil war. Look at the hundreds of terrorist groups in countries creating havoc. Same with the Palestinian Territories (they aren’t countries.) Terrorism is ruining countries and Israel is surrounded by several terrorist groups. The top guys of Hamas are living high off the hog and not even in Gaza. It is in their interest to perpetuate conflict which is not about land. Had they chosen to live civilly, this wouldn’t be happening.

Terrorist groups destabilize countries. The Palestinians have gotten billions of dollars from those so-called colonialist countries and the top Hamas guys are filthy rich. They don’t want peace-they’ve rejected it several times. They put their kids on TV saying hateful things about Jews-kids under 13 years-old. Funny that the news doesn’t show all that to lend some understanding about how Hamas/The Muslim Brotherhood churns out terrorists.
Hamas/The Muslim Brotherhood want to make Israel an Islamic state and Jews not in control. They are about perpetual war. It is impossible to live with people like that and they hurt the region.

also others being held without charge, and only doing it to palestinians? lil sus, given their circumstances you could make the argument of being a political prisoner for no reason than to intimidate other Palestinians, which if done for political reasons, is terrorism
given Israel want to expand into gaza and start letting western interests drill for oil, every action israel takes in gaza or upon Palestinians is inherently political
almost like there are systemic issues concerning ethnic-based laws in israel, since even the ''wrong kind of jew'' gets harassed and attacked there, if you don't support zionism they will fuck you up, doesn't matter if you were born there, you dare dissent on their goals and you are the enemy.
sorry, i don't trust the nation that pretends to be upstanding and moral and then does the opposite when they think no one is looking, i don't trust the nation created for ''god's chosen'' , given their actions for the last decade at the minimum of shooting journalists and toddlers for kicks
every accusation by israel has turned out to be something israel has done itself, like a petty narcissist that can't take criticism, it's also hilarious when they just jump to ';'anti-semite'' as their defense, just proving that it's nothing more than their buzzword to shut down any conversation, which is an anti-semitic attitude, given the origins of the need for the term.
there are no bigger anti-semites than the ones leading the israeli government, their actions will ensure more lives are lost, israeli AND palestinian, for as long as they see fit to use the conflict as a 'whataboutism'' to ignore criminality by the leadership and trying to implement their own little fifedom by controlling the judiciary.

@@Thinking858 They probably used makeup to hide any bruising because of screwy UA-cam censorship that might remove the video for being “too graphic” if he appeared to be beaten to a pulp.
Yes. Very sad that anyone could just be dragged in and tortured and interrogated for just trying to flee to where they were told to go.
Mine too, but don't let a few bad actors in the Israeli Military make you believe that all Israeli's are bad. But Benjamin Netanyahu does have have to go. Israel is protecting the 77 Political Rights and Civil Liberties they allow their own Citizens because it is the only Free ranked County in the Middle East. You really want the only Democratic Country in the Middle East to fall?
Hamas Government is not a Democracy and never was. Hamas held one election and hasn't held an election since 2006. Hamas has run the Gaza Strip with an iron fist, not because of Israel, but because they are Authoritarian, and any "Country" of Palestine would be run just like any other NOT FREE Country in the Middle East. They have to create a government along the lines of a Democracy, or their conditions will never change. Not Western values, or Capitalism per se' as we know it in the US, or even in Israel, but some form of government By and For the people or they will stay 'Cut-Off' from the outside world until they do. It is why Putin is trying to keep Ukraine from becoming a full-fledged Democracy, Russia doesn't want Free people in a Country on their Border like Finland, which just closed their Borders to Russia.
@@BEWARESTUPID if you don’t see the pain the agony, the suffering of those children and women and men if you can’t feel their pain and you need more proof or you believe Israel has the right to exist. What about the Palestinian I don’t know what to say to you as a Muslim I have nothing to explain to you. you are heartless.🤢
I can’t believe it took this long for the U.N. to invoke article 99 to press the security council for a ceasefire. What took them so long? How many lives had to be lost to prompt this action? Disproportionately had been reached by the end of the first week!
The US will veto it anyway

This is so very sad, heartbreaking, disgusting, and disturbing! Shame on the Israeli government!!😡
Do you see any scars or wounds on him...?? Or you just like agreeing with the Propaganda because you hate jews
Hamas opened the gates of hell, knowingly, hoping others would join to do this and more to Israel, they got it wrong.
Blame Hamas.
And the US government!
I am so sorry, my heart breaks anew with each news piece 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💔💔💔
So brave to come on and speak so clearly amidst active trauma and fear for family. They chose the “wrong” person, someone who is known around the world, a writer and story teller. Sending prayers and strength and hope for safety of your loved ones
The devil don't care less.
Oh my Allah, please help the Palestinians
32 countries are at war around the world... You only care about Gaza...
Unbelievable how inhumane israel
Hamas are cowards hiding behind innocent people and holding innocents as hostages. And yet, this does not excuse Israel from acting inhumanely towards anyone. War is completely psychotic.😭❤️🌈
Ppalastine should be free frrom the river to the sea, free from Isrelia genocide and war crimes of UK USA Canada Germany France etc
I am an atheist who wirhout question supports palastine,
@@alexanderrobertson8969 thank you. I just cant believe how this israeli live in that way with expense of other peoples lives.
That's what you get for having your work published by an outlet whose Editor-in-Chief is a former then-only-butcherous occupation's prison guard.
This is so horrific and so damn embarrassing for us as the United States and any other country that is not involved with Gaza and Israel to have the gall to open their mouth and ask them how bad things are when it is totally evident the hell on earth that is going on there. It would take no more than a day to stop all of this from happening! All we have to do is step up and stop it along with the other countries. What the hell is going on here!??! Why are we even talking about this anymore and not taking action?!
Yes, I am crying and furious and writing to my government in Australia for complicity in this mad cruelty....
32 countries are at war around the world... You only care about Gaza...
How Noble of you...
Thank you to all those with humanity that are showing compassion to the Palestinians and praying for their peace and freedom. Thank you all for protesting, boycotting and urging your governments for a urgent ceasefire. May Allah remove their suffering, pain and grief and give them victory and freedom very soon In Sha Allah ❤ Long live Palestine
I keep writing *my representatives. While it seems futile, it’s all I can think to do as a disabled, bed bound woman. I feel completely helpless.
Where is the leadership? Where is their humanity? Oh right, greed has corrupted their souls to decay. Glad we give Israel so much financial aid; they’re obviously in desperate need to fund “our candidates”!
I honestly thought I lived in America, where our votes matter. But I’ve seen under the rug. Our government counts on our ignorance. How can we rise up if we don’t know the truth? But, NOTHING compares to the cruelty of the global west colonizers. I see them. I am disgusted.
How can they do this to the Palestinians? I’m utterly disgusted & disappointed.
This is so outrageous please God end this oppression and help the Palestinians
Ameen 🙏🙏🙏
❤
I don't think GOD will send them more rockets... Do you have any...
What about the 32 countries that are at war around the world...???
@@Thinking858What about 'ANTI-SEMITISM'....you forgot to bring that up COMRADE! You're falling down on your peddled NON-STOP narrative!
Imagine this is the norm, it's been happening for the longest time.
It’s horrific what you have been through and what your friends and family are still enduring. It also goes without saying, that what the victims of the October 7th massacre and ALL of the innocent hostages are going through is terrible. I am praying for peace.
much more horrific than what happened to hunderds of Israeli women in 7th Oct/
more horrific then the babies burned alive in Israel by the Palestinians at oct 7
And the praying is working how? Maybe the "gods" are having a vacation or maybe they don't exist
@@johngilligan9483 Well, it is certainly better than praying for more death and hatred, wouldn’t you agree? Doing nothing at all is an option but I personally like to think positively. I’ll write my congressmen and women and ask them to stop funding war. What actions are you taking?
Everything isreal do is ok by the west , EU, ICC and NATO. No one is condemning isreal, they are green lighted to do as they like. Thank you for sharing and exposing the crimes and cruelty. 🇵🇸❤️🙌🙏🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 The media wouldn't want the world to know about this.
I can tell you that information has been manipulated and twisted, so that until lately U.S. citizens did not know the truth. We are sick of this barbaric atrocity. We are trying to get our government leaders to stop supporting such an ungodly war. We are against this whether it's Hamas, Hezbollah, or the Israeli military. We are trying very, very hard to stop it, and to end all funding that goes toward such monsterous brutality. American Jews are trying.
Isreal is their blood brothers, thats why, they dont condemn , they fully supported this colonisation...disgusting to the core..
The IDF has no reason to slap and disrobe anyone, no right to lie about and humiliate people. Their lack of respect for others, including what happens at checkpoints and other places, is disgusting and inhumane. They've no sense of decency, yet IDF wonders why they're so despised.
They are on a mission to colonize at any cost.
IDF is nothing but a terrorist organization
And netanyahu states theres a rise in anti semetism...
i cannot imagine why he perceives we HATE ZIONIST IDEOLOGY...As being anti semetic..
But he also calls us, who think Palestine should be free as terrorists....
Its like this...
if i could make it stop...
then yes call me what you want, as long as this cruel inhumane barbaric activity STOPS....
Have u been disrespected before by IDF, it's his words against theirs, don't jump to conclusion. I STAND with Israel, a nation in it's own right
7:20
I believe in israels right to exist. But I also believe this man's testimony. As an American I know the sins of my own country. You can believe in Israel and still object to its bombardment and to the way it treats prisoner. I believe in a country for Palestine even as I condemn Hamas tactics.
I am so angry listening to all the crimes of the zionist!! So glad he is safe with his family.
Don't be angry,,, read Quran... Meditate
May God Almighty save all the oppressed and make justice for them!
32 countries are at war around the world... You only care about Gaza...

Don't worry Kev, we are not... Remember education is better than Propaganda... Learn your history start reading....
stupid comment @@Thinking858
Just prayers needed dearest friends 🙌 🙏 ❤️
I talk about pregnant women in Gaza, women with difficult pregnancies, women in labour, giving birth, birthing complications and caring for a new baby, with nothing, no food and water, not even the luxury to stay in one place. But I have no power.. no power seems like a prerequisite to these considerations.
They also had a number of cases where the moms were killed while pregnant, but the babies in the womb were still alive, so doctors saved the babies… some of those babies were at AL Shifa Hospital, where they were left behind by force. Israel forgot to
Send the promised ambulances for the babies.
@@jeanade9010 I heard about the babies born to mothers who had been killed, just a nightmare.
NGOs eventually managed to get 31 of the 39 babies at Al Shifa out, most ended up in Egypt. (The other 8 had already died due to no oxygen). The five babies that the IDF completely abandoned were at Al-Nasr Hospital. Heard a horrible story of how the nurse felt when leaving them - they carried the one neonate who they thought had the best chance of survival on the road with them when they were forcibly evacuated.
Oh my god, he got slapped in the face and a soldier demanded that he has to provide proof of his innocence! So yes, they presume everyone is guilty, everyone is a target. If this is not genocide, nothing is.
Thank you for your courageous and honest reporting daily .At a time when the cries of the oppressed need to be heard , you have been consistent .Our hearts go out to all the innocent victims of this insane genocide .How dare those in power kill the innocent in our name !The majority of sane people in the USA, Uk and Europe find these atrocities appalling .STOP the insanity now
Yes I saw many pics of Palestinians men in boxer being beaten
Thank you Mosab Abu Toha for sharing your sharing you experience~praying for your family and everyone living in Gaza, the West Bank and Jerusalem🙏

Blame it on sloppy joe.
It is so extremely simple and easy. Stop giving money. Why does Israel, one of the wealthiest countries in the world, need more money to fight against a people with no country? I mean really?! Make that make sense.
Withdraw ALL international aide to Israel immediately.
Such heinous crimes inflicted on this man!
These Israeli soldiers totally void of human compassion! And they are building a Temple?
There are no words to describe them
