Susan Abulhawa’s Historic Speech, Oxford Union 2024
August 2026 Update: The Zionist ADL is pressuring Susan’s Publisher Simon & Schuster to cease publishing her novels, claiming fictional characters in Mornings in Jenin are antiSemitic. Susan is a 100 percent Semite Palestinian born and raised in Palestine. It is the European Zionists thugs who are antiSemitic. Share Susan’s powerful books, and help get her message out.
Invited in November 2024 to propose the motion at the debating Union, Oxford University, UK, “This House Believes Israel Is an Apartheid State Responsible for Genocide.”
