Early on Saturday Morning, Hamas led a militant raid on Israeli settlements around the outskirts of the Gaza Strip, flying over border fences In paraglides, bulldozing Israeli border fences, and assaulting Israeli colonial settlements just outside the fiercely controlled Gaza Strip. In the days since, Israel has declared war on gaza, has killed many Palestinians, has leveled buildings in Gaza, and has called on its military reserves to prepare for a ground war. Meanwhile, Palestinian liberation fighters have continued to fight back, breaking through more border fences, taking control over land and apparently trying to build a land bridge between the Gaza strip and the west bank. This is a new chapter in a many decades-long struggle for land.

Continuing our conversation about the renewed war for land in Palestine, we bring the conversation home to the Bay Area, in conversation with Suzanne Ali, from the local chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement, a transnational, independent, grassroots movement of young Palestinians dedicated to the liberation of our homeland and people; along with Lara Kiswani, the Executive Director of the Arab Resource and Organizing Center, which organizes for racial and economic justice and the dignity and liberation of our Arab, and Muslim communities here in the Bay Area. She is also Palestinian.
