Shadee Elmasry – It Didn’t Start On October 7 Hamza Tzortzis NBF 272

Don't assume that the crisis started on October the seventh,

we've had seven decades of illegal occupation, decades of apartheid,

decades of killing hundreds of children killed. One would argue

that a whole decade of bombing, right every couple of years, Gaza

has been, you know, literally carpet bombed. You have even Arab

Israeli citizens being treated like third class citizens, you

have Palestinians being treated, you know, worse than animals. So

from this perspective, we see that there has been an ongoing

aggression going on. So what we've just done is we reframe the

narrative by saying, Well hold on a second, your statement assumes

that you are not the aggressor, that you're the victim. But in the

grand cosmic scheme of things on this issue, you are actually the

oppressor. You are tyrannical. You are terrorists state, you're an

apartheid state. And it really frames the whole narrative and we

say didn't just start on October the seventh
