Displaced In Gaza: Stories From The Gaza Genocide # (L97,BL98)

Displacement is not a coincidence but the outcome of a premeditated agenda. It's fundamentally a human rights issue and documenting the stories of displaced people in Gaza is an important step towards restorative justice.

Displacing people in Gaza has become forcibly normalized. Some Palestinians have been displaced 20 times. The stories in Displaced in Gaza are a must-read.

- Ahmed Abu Artema

Palestinian poet, journalist and co-founder of the Great March of Return

Before you can forgive, you must remember. In these testimonies, Palestinians insist on memory. We are aware how the world is ready to move past our memory as soon as the world determines we are now "after Gaza," that the genocide has stopped. But after the genocide is still a genocide. Palestinians know that we must overcome this "after," too. And so we tell our stories to honor the love in our hearts.

Palestinian poet and author of "The Earth in the Attic" and "[...]: Poems"

These first-hand Palestinian accounts by survivors of Israel's ethnic cleansing are chilling testaments to the devastation of displacement. Subject to genocidal violence as part of the ongoing Nakba - settler colonial elimination - the individuals whose stories are included here are part of a crucial documentation project. This important collection is a call out to the world community to not only bear witness, but to assert our collective political will to end these atrocious war crimes.

- J. Kčhaulani Kauanui, Ph.D. Professor of American Studies

This harrowing collection of first testimonies from survivors of the Gaza Genocide- featuring voices from old and young, fathers, and mothers offers an urgent, personal perspective on the realities faced by those forcibly displaced by Israel. It should be read by all people. Read them, then read them again - you will be left wondering how the world allowed such atrocities to unfold and be motivated towards meaningful action.
