Best-selling, Award-winning Palestinian novelist and activist Susan Abulhawa talks about participating in the Oxford Union debate on Israel's genocide. Parts of her speech were censored by the organization. Susan explains she was inspired to partake in the debate by others who had like Malcolm X and James Baldwin. When Susan mentions that the Oxford Union embargoed the speech of another speaker, Miko Peled, for being criminal Katie and Susan point out that by that reasoning, anyone praising Nelson Mandela while he was on the terrorist list would have been breaking the law.
Susan Abulhawa is an award-winning Palestinian-American writer, human rights activist and animal rights advocate. Her first novel, Mornings in Jenin, was translated into 32 languages and sold more than a million copies, making her the most widely read Palestinian author of all time. Her second novel, The Blue Between Sky And Water, was sold in 19 languages before its release, and was published in English in 2015. Against the Loveless World, her third novel, was released in August 2020, also to critical acclaim.
