Author and poet Mohammed el-Kurd says that the “dehumanisation” of Palestinians has been normalised, Al Jazeera reports, citing his interview with UpFront.
“Death is so quotidian that journalists report it as though they’re reporting the weather,” el-Kurd said, referring to the daily deaths in Gaza due to Israel’s onslaught.
“With a ceasefire currently in place, the fate of Palestinians remains uncertain. But what role does the Western gaze play in perpetuating a narrative that dehumanises Palestinians?
“And how does it shape our understanding of their struggle for justice and liberation?” he was quoted as saying by Al Jazeera.
