Mona Eltahawy Instagram – For the @warscapes and @thepolisproject readings Nakba Then and Now at @peoplesforumnyc I chose an interview by New Internationalist magazine with Leila Khaled. In this clip, I talk about her and in my next post, I will share screen grabs of the interview.
Repost @thepolisproject and @warscapes
“I chose the interview with Leila Khaled because it’s a reflection on her time, she’s known as the first woman to have led a hijacking of a plane and I wanted to bring in the feminist element, the resistance elements, the element of violence and the legitimate use of armed struggle as a form of resistance and to include that woman’s voice as part of all those things. Because we must remember that Palestinian feminists and Palestinian female radical activists have been involved in resisting for the longest time.” – @monaeltahawy
Powerful words by a powerful voice that refuses to be silent during our event Nakba Then and Now: Refuse Silence, that took place on May 15th, a collaboration between @warscapes and The Polis Project at @peoplesforumnyc
Watch the entire recording on our Youtube channel and watch this space for more voices from that evening reminding us that we are not free, until Palestine is free. 🇵🇸✊🏽📢 | Posted on 20/May/2024 19:51:24
