DISPATCHES FROM GAZA
HAIDAR EID
Few pages for you
 
"Urgent, poignant, and erudite. Haidar Eid provides a much-needed analysis on how the genocide in Gaza did not start in 2023 and why Palestinians continue to bang on the walls of their imprisonment to affirm their humanity and their inalienable rights to freedom, equality, and return. Drawing on the example of South Africa, among others, Eid's collection of essays make the strongest case for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions campaign, international solidarity, and why the only way forward is a single democratic secular state between the river and the sea."
--LEILA FARSAKH, professor, University of Massachusetts Boston; editor of Rethinking Statehood in Palestine
 
"In his dispatches from Gaza, Haidar Eid transforms Ghassan Kanafani's question, "Why didn't you bang on the walls of the tank?!" into a defiant cry: "We are banging on the walls of the tank!" For almost a century, Palestinians have never stopped knocking, and now, as Gaza's ongoing genocide unfolds in real time before the world, the moral responsibility is no longer theirs to cry out but on humanity to listen."
--ABDUL-RAHIM AL-SHAIKH, Palestinian poet and critic
