Understanding the Great Awakening
Sami Hamdi, a British journalist, debunks right-wing propaganda surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He highlights the Great Awakening, where people are challenging the apartheid settler project, leading to hysteria from those attempting to dehumanize Palestinians. By embracing viral videos that humanize Palestinians, society is shifting perceptions, causing frantic reactions to maintain a negative narrative.
"There is this hysteria that is emerging which is calling on people not to believe the Palestinian narratives that for the first time have finally broken through Israel's chokehold over the monopoly."
The Legacy of Coexistence in Islamic History
In contrast to misconceptions, Hamdi discusses the historical coexistence fostered under Muslim rule. He emphasizes that Islamic teachings prioritize justice and harmony among religions. Throughout Muslim history, instances like Andalusia showcase a haven for Jews, challenging claims of Muslim animosity towards Jews. The legacy of coexistence in Jerusalem, ruled by Muslims, reinforces the narrative that Islam historically promoted harmony among faiths.
