- The year 2024 has seen so much loss from Gaza to Lebanon, it can be easy to fall into despair. Despite its recent gains, Israel still cannot win, says Palestinian writer Susan Abulhawa. Abulhawa is a novelist, poet, activist and author of many books, including Mornings in Jenin.

Susan has the heart of a lion, her Oxford Union speech showed me that Palestine and Palestinians will never be defeated 🇮🇪❤️🇵🇸

Bullshit from Arabs
You people are so frustrated that the Israelis are humiliating their enemies in the battlefield. How many times do we have to humiliate you to make you learn? Arab countries couldn't even win in 1948 when when Jews were a ragtag militia without airforce, navy, barely any armored vehicles, and much less international support. Modern day Israel is a nuclear-armed state with perhaps the most technologically advanced army in the world. I wish the spirit of Sinwar could see that he made Israel much much stronger and the resistance is falling apart!!!!
@ yep it’s fantastic to see . Better than watching the footy.
Optimism has power! I love to remember this. It helps so much,
I heard Susan's speech at Oxford University before it was edited and it was amazing, well done 👏.
The unedited one is available elsewhere if one looks. The Zionist heckler and the two audience members behind Susan (winter coat girl, bowtie guy) were clearly part of a coordinated campaign to throw her off message. When that failed, they leaned on OU to censor the speech.
ahahahaha, you think it was edited to stop people seeing it.
@MrJREllman why do you think it was edited?

Thank you Rania...thank you for sharing your voice with Susan Abulhawa. I feel like nothing that happens in the mideast can surprise anymore, but even with all the destruction, I do not give up hope. Hope for freedom of all the people in the mideast.
Gaza has been slowly genocided for 17 years. How dare we want to give up after a year? Palestinians haven’t given up so we cannot.

76 year long apartheid, 17 year long blockade of Gaza and now committing genocide. Pure evil
All false and filled by omission. Gaza could have been an Arab Muslim little Singapore by the sea pilot stare but they chose to be a terrrorist jihadi state to destroy Israel by Hamas stealing billions to build it….. thats why there was a blockade by EGYPT too and Israel
1948-67 Gaza was Egyptian. And the blockade is there because Gazans elected Hamas to govern them. The wall on the Egyptian border is even way more massive. 🤷🏽♂️
These radical left anti Zionists and pro Arafat pro Hamas anti Zionists all support the destruction of the Jewish state and are all anti American - they lie do much. They make me sick. Funny how Lebanon treats the so called Palestinians ( Arab Muslims ) like shit as does the other Arab states. The Israeli Arab citizens in Israel treat them better…..

You lost. Enough already with useless canned lies.
I have immense respect for Susan Abulhawa. Love how her mind works. Her thinking is free range, wide open and makes connections so many others miss and she articulates her ideas with great fluidity. Her inner strength, tenacity and courage are absolutely inspiring. Thank you Rania for bringing her on your show.

So happy to be here with humanity

Another person that calls for Palestinians to fight while sitting on her couch comfortably. The best thing for Palestinians is to give the hostages back, sign a peace and start rebuilding after recognizing Israel. That would be the best thing for Palestinian children

Susan is a wonderful voice.
My full admiration for Palestinian from gaza
She is right the struggle to end slavery was a long and painful fight that caused many lives. We who support the Resistance must not give up even when we may face the darkness of evil.
The British Empire declared a global war on slavery. Arabs were totally against the abolition. 🤷🏽♂️
Fun fact it was the English abolitionist movement that ended slavery.

I’m such a fan of you both, i just want to be really honest, I think we need more than the moral victory on this one. We need strategy and like lovely Susan said, Israel has big money in the form of a hijacked United States of America. We need to have what they have. I am not in despair, I just need more than moral superiority to know that we’re going to win this NOW, not in 30 years when the oil and gas have run out and Palestinians no longer exist. This is existential and we need Arabs to unify. We are dealing with SO many traitors like Turkey and vultures waiting for a piece of a pie instead of forming a glorious and profitable equitable unified empire but their vision is greedy and expansionist. We need a real strategy to get the USA out of our hair. We have to be strong, we are the most sought-after location on the entire planet, we have to have our guard up ALL THE TIME, FOREVER, Otherwise everyone is going to eye our territory.
These people unfortunately have this disneyfied view on reality, they are brought up with an erroneous conception of cause and effect being brought up in fake religions which ultimately only serve the z1onist jooish agenda
unfortunately i think it will require americans to have a REAL revolution, that seems more palpable than ever but its still extremely tenuous. america is the source of all the worlds problems and it needs to be stopped NOW
israel has not hijacked the USA, lmao. it's entirely funded by the USA. this is an operation of the western empire with the USA at the helm. that's like saying a bank robber "hijacked" their own getaway car lol. america created this.
We don't ever give up on Palestine or her people. Never.

@@ThatApeBigMad488 You keep believing that nonsense. Time is running out for the empire and soon they will dump your little project. We can wait.
@@ThatApeBigMad488 Cool story, bro.
I enjoyed listening to both of you.
Rania Thank You for your report. I'm a new comer to your channel really. You talk about trying not to despair regarding the war on Palestine. There hasn't been a day gone by since this evil, barbaric war started against the Palestinians that I haven't looked into it, be on screen, radio, UA-cam & I have felt hopeless & paralyzed by the situation. However you are right we must have optimism & hope in keeping supporting the Palestinians. From this perspective, I wish You Peace & Love at this Christmas Time. From Your comrade Sister in The UK 🇬🇧✌
🇵🇸Free PALESTINE🇵🇸✌
"Optimism", "hope", and don't forget, "be positive!" How about just some plain, old REALITY. Remember that, reality? The guest speaker admits that everyone-even herself-was "taken by surprise" at what happened in Syria, that we should have known better. But KNOWING BETTER requires looking REALITY right in the face, which, by the way, is IMPOSSIBLE when you're going off to "optimism land". Have we lost the capacity to be realistic, to face facts, or is this generation permanently brain damaged by the "positive thinking" Disneyland, "everything's gonna be alright" propaganda? The real world for it is "magical thinking", which we are all supposed to grow out of by the time we're about six years old. "Optimism" actually accomplishes nothing-it encourages us to sit back and wait for things to magically get all better. Reality, on the other hand, isn't as fun, but it gets your behind moving when you realize pretty quick that nothing is just going to "be alright" without constant vigilance and work. Optimism is just denial and laziness.

@@billmueller4695 , Well done ,Sir, you are absolutely correct. The "hope and change" people are really the problem. It the "anaesthetic" in the USA and will keep on since that is how control is maintained. Like now "merry christmas" and all the bulls#it while children and women and humans are being slaughtered by these barbaric, amoral psychopaths. And it is not the first time in history that this is happening. 85 million people in WW2 why? For whose benefit?
Fantastic discussion! Thank you and looking forward to learning more through your platform!
After feeling so much despair following the fall of Syria, you've managed to fill me with hope! Thank you!
Hope is a dangerous thing it drives humans insane. 😂
Instead of arming IDF terrorists; US tax payer money should be spent on infrastructure, healthcare, education, homelessness etc
you must mean AFTER the reparations it owes the entire world including its own citizens? the entire colony is built on abject exploitation

Great stuff - it's so difficult to avoid despair. Thanks.
‘Optimism grounded in history’ is what I feel when the resistance continues.

Fantastic interview!!
I love this conversation between two intelligent and beautiful Arab women. Thanks Rania for having her on. Susan is a warrior queen! 👑❤ 💪
Coates' reckoning and honesty about that process is sorely needed in this political climate. No one is expert in everything, esp given all the propaganda. To acknowledge one's errors and be vocal about them is very powerful, and can be contagious to those who are still ambivalent to take any stand due to blindness or ignorance.

Thank you Rania! Please try to host Laith Marouf.
Love you, Rania! Right beside you fighting the good fight!
BE SAFE! _We_ worry. & fear.
Thank you Rania and Susan for this amazing discussion. Yes, we can feel despair sometimes ...and anger and frustration and helplessness but also hope, strength, commitment, power and resilience. Feelings are ok as long as we keep up the fight. Fundamentally, this is not about winning but about being on the right side of history, being able to live ethical lives and promote progressive values. In South Africa, the apartheid regime had all the resources, had nuclear weapons and superior technology but ultimately fell like a pack of cards under pressure from within and without. This tells me that it is possible to defeat Zionism despite its apparent strength.
I ❤ you both
65,000 Palestinians are starving to death in North Gaza, Israel blocked aide
Thankyou Rania and Susan for your powerful, astute conversation.This relentless assault upon our very humanity of course makes us despair at the destruction and loss, but it will never stop the universal struggle for resistance and liberation: you have offered an exceptional analyses.

I Know I'm pretty sure those Children are also impatient Good afternoon Rania and Susan ❤️🇱🇧🇵🇸🦾😇🌹
So true. Two very intelligent women.
One major awakening that has happened due to the genocide of Palestinians is among non-white people around the world. I've heard from so many such people who can totally relate with the dehumanization of Palestinians. They have been able to connect the dots of such dehumanization with their own ancestral history. In the past it was easy to explain away everything by blaming it on Islam, but not anymore. Non-whites are able to connect the dots in that area as well because their own cultures, traditions and religions have been attacked in very similar ways.
So sorry haven't been watching BT VODs lately. Fantastic conversation Rana and Susan will be sharing this far and wide.
Thanks. ❤ 🙏🇵🇸🇱🇧
