A writer and contributor to The Electronic Intifada, Al-Sammak recently left Gaza to study in Dublin, Ireland. He told us that he is barely able to sleep or function as he is so far away from his community in Gaza and doesn’t know from one minute to the next whether his family is safe.
“It’s been unspeakable, actually unbearable,” he said.
He talked about the refusal of Western leaders to force Israel to end its genocidal attacks.
“We are sick of all [of] this. They have been calling for a humanitarian pause, not a ceasefire – at least a ceasefire can put an end to this bloodshed, or this massive killing, at least for a few years. No, they want just a humanitarian pause. They want to feed Gazans, they want to give them some hours of electricity, a little bit of water … but then they want to start killing them again.”
“Is this the democracy, is this the human rights they have been claiming they advocate for? I don’t know, it’s insane,” he added.
