Afua Hirsch Instagram - Some thoughts about international humanitarian law

The ENTIRE point of which is to prevent situations like the tragedy unfolding before our eyes in #Gaza at this very moment 

Borne of the trauma of past genocides 

Of which many of us are the survivors and descendants

It all counts for nothing if it doesn’t count for this

Afua Hirsch Instagram - The man in the center of this photograph is my grandfather Hans Hirsch

He survived a childhood lived under Nazi rule as a Jew in Berlin, fleeing in 1938. I never stopped (probably annoyingly) asking him about those experiences. I loved him and miss him deeply. 

At times like this, when people try to confuse us as to right and wrong, who is oppressed and who is an oppressor, I think about him. He survived one of the most extreme periods of hatred and oppression in history. I ask myself what he would think

When I dig deep, I know that one of the reasons I am on this lifelong journey of struggle against unfair systems of power, is his legacy. I know that he stood for a world where the psychosis of genocide could not be repeated. This literally informs everything I do.

If you are passionate about fighting antisemitism, as I am, you cannot ignore prejudice and dehumanisation in any of its forms. You cannot be silent when it is weaponised against black people of African heritage. You cannot be complicit in Islamophobia. You cannot tolerate the murder of innocent civilians. You cannot watch Palestine be flattened in the name of security. This mission transcends any one community’s interests, that is the meaning of solidarity. 

My grandfather’s trauma reminds me that a world in which we are comfortable with killing people in the name of order, security, prosperity, revenge, or any of the other reasons that are inevitably given, is a world in which none of us can ever be safe 

I know there are Jewish people who have been told those of us who stand against the murder of Palestinians are driven by hatred for them. I hear that fear. I know it’s borne out of trauma. I urge you to engage with the Jewish organisations who are fighting alongside Palestinian brothers and sisters for peace, who are doing such powerful work to dismantle that narrative. 

I salute them, and every single person who has had the courage to separate themselves from pressure within their own community to take a stand for peace. And for justice. It’s hard. History will judge us. If we stay silent against what is happening in Gaza, we - humanity - we all lose.

Afua Hirsch Instagram - It’s difficult to find language that adequately conveys how comfortable our political leaders have become with overt racism, outright lies, and rhetoric that costs lives 

Just when you thought we had hit rock bottom with Sajid Javid, we got Priti Patel. When she seemed an unparalleled disaster, we got Suella Braverman.

There may be no accountability but we will not forget

Afua Hirsch Instagram - “I feel like I need to man up. And not in the toxic way that people tell young boys to ‘man up’, because I feel like, let the youths cry. Let the youts feel, innit….

For me, it’s what a good dad would do for his son.” 

Spent a day with Big Mike. We talked about manhood, body image, purpose and love, baked a cake together, and I wrote about it for @edward_enninful @britishvogue 

It was one of my absolute faves and so is he

Afua Hirsch Instagram - Still furious with @uklabour leadership 

for failing to be true to its humanitarian principles on Gaza
for playing the populist on immigration 
for its treatment of @jeremycorbyn and @officialhackneyabbott 

But those two are back and she is Mother of the House 
And I’m absolutely joyful at the reelection of all these Queens

Afua Hirsch Instagram - “Israel’s annihilation of Gaza, provisioned by Western  democracies… sought from the very beginning ‘to make the entire Gaza Strip uninhabitable, and to debilitate its population  to such a degree that it would either die out or seek all  possible options to flee the territory’”

“I write out of that guilt – a broad human condition  after Israel’s livestreamed mass-murder spree in the  Middle East– and the obligation that the living have to  the innocent dead

I also write with the faith that there  is such a thing as solidarity between human beings as  human beings”

Mishra’s solidarity has already cost him – he describes how the lecture that would turn into this book cost him a high profile event at the Barbican, was cancelled once they realised what he was going to say, and his column at Bloomberg. 

I can see why people don’t want you to engage with this. You won’t be the same after. It’s *the* most essential thing you can read right now

“The World After Gaza: A History”, by Pankaj Mishra

Published @fernpress_ @penguinukbooks 
Out today
Afua Hirsch Instagram - Now that there is a ceasefire in this war, the other war will intensify – the one for control of the narrative

Over the last few weeks we have seen the attempt to maninuplate the telling of this story in so many ways

The dehumanisation of Palestinians – in language which brings to mind Fanon: 

“the terms the settler uses when he mentions the native are zoological terms. He speaks of the yellow man’s reptilian motions, of the stink of the native quarter, of breeding swarms, of foulness, of spawn, of gesticulations… Those hordes of vital statistics, those hysterical masses, those faces bereft of all humanity, those distended bodies which are like nothing on earth”

The killing of journalists. This alone. 

The prevention of reporters from entering Gaza, making it impossible for reporters to offer the same humanity and pathos they rightly gave Israeli victims of Hamas. Nonprofit Reporters Without Borders has accused Israel of "suffocating journalism in Gaza". We have relied on so many heartbreaking and brave citizen journalists, whose work has made it impossible to turn away

High profile entertainment figures cancelled or dropped, including Melissa Barrera, Susan Sarandon, and Maha Dakhil 

The censorship of statements of solidarity with Palestine, from high profile entertainment platforms 

A small line in a @politico story is one of the most important things I have read: 

The Biden administration is “concerned” that an “unitended consequence” of the ceasefire will be allowing journalists to report on what’s *actually* happened in Gaza. 
In the knowledge that this could jeopardise what public support remains for the devastation it has wrought 

The tragedies of the last weeks have brought out the humanity in so many observers and consumers of news, transcending immense pressure and the risk of censure to seek the truth. Time to pay attention more than ever

The dehumanisation of Palestinians – in language which brings to mind Fanon: 

“the terms the settler uses when he mentions the native are zoological terms. He speaks of the yellow man’s reptilian motions, of the stink of the native quarter, of breeding swarms, of foulness, of spawn, of gesticulations… Those hordes of vital statistics, those hysterical masses, those faces bereft of all humanity, those distended bodies which are like nothing on earth”

The killing of journalists. This alone. 

The prevention of reporters from entering Gaza, making it impossible for reporters to offer the same humanity and pathos they rightly gave Israeli victims of Hamas. Nonprofit Reporters Without Borders has accused Israel of "suffocating journalism in Gaza". We have relied on so many heartbreaking and brave citizen journalists, whose work has made it impossible to turn away

High profile entertainment figures cancelled or dropped, including Melissa Barrera, Susan Sarandon, and Maha Dakhil 

The censorship of statements of solidarity with Palestine, from high profile entertainment platforms 

A small line in a @politico story is one of the most important things I have read: 

The Biden administration is “concerned” that an “unitended consequence” of the ceasefire will be allowing journalists to report on what’s *actually* happened in Gaza. 
In the knowledge that this could jeopardise what public support remains for the devastation it has wrought 

The tragedies of the last weeks have brought out the humanity in so many observers and consumers of news, transcending immense pressure and the risk of censure to seek the truth. Time to pay attention more than ever

The ENTIRE point of which is to prevent situations like the tragedy unfolding before our eyes in #Gaza at this very moment

Afua Hirsch - 8.9K Likes - The man in the center of this photograph is my grandfather Hans Hirsch

He survived a childhood lived under Nazi rule as a Jew in Berlin, fleeing in 1938. I never stopped (probably annoyingly) asking him about those experiences. I loved him and miss him deeply. 

At times like this, when people try to confuse us as to right and wrong, who is oppressed and who is an oppressor, I think about him. He survived one of the most extreme periods of hatred and oppression in history. I ask myself what he would think

When I dig deep, I know that one of the reasons I am on this lifelong journey of struggle against unfair systems of power, is his legacy. I know that he stood for a world where the psychosis of genocide could not be repeated. This literally informs everything I do.

If you are passionate about fighting antisemitism, as I am, you cannot ignore prejudice and dehumanisation in any of its forms. You cannot be silent when it is weaponised against black people of African heritage. You cannot be complicit in Islamophobia. You cannot tolerate the murder of innocent civilians. You cannot watch Palestine be flattened in the name of security. This mission transcends any one community’s interests, that is the meaning of solidarity. 

My grandfather’s trauma reminds me that a world in which we are comfortable with killing people in the name of order, security, prosperity, revenge, or any of the other reasons that are inevitably given, is a world in which none of us can ever be safe 

I know there are Jewish people who have been told those of us who stand against the murder of Palestinians are driven by hatred for them. I hear that fear. I know it’s borne out of trauma. I urge you to engage with the Jewish organisations who are fighting alongside Palestinian brothers and sisters for peace, who are doing such powerful work to dismantle that narrative. 

I salute them, and every single person who has had the courage to separate themselves from pressure within their own community to take a stand for peace. And for justice. It’s hard. History will judge us. If we stay silent against what is happening in Gaza, we - humanity - we all lose.

Afua Hirsch - 7.4K Likes - It’s difficult to find language that adequately conveys how comfortable our political leaders have become with overt racism, outright lies, and rhetoric that costs lives 

Just when you thought we had hit rock bottom with Sajid Javid, we got Priti Patel. When she seemed an unparalleled disaster, we got Suella Braverman.

There may be no accountability but we will not forget

“I write out of that guilt – a broad human condition  after Israel’s livestreamed mass-murder spree in the  Middle East– and the obligation that the living have to  the innocent dead

I also write with the faith that there  is such a thing as solidarity between human beings as  human beings”

Mishra’s solidarity has already cost him – he describes how the lecture that would turn into this book cost him a high profile event at the Barbican, was cancelled once they realised what he was going to say, and his column at Bloomberg. 

I can see why people don’t want you to engage with this. You won’t be the same after. It’s *the* most essential thing you can read right now

Afua Hirsch - 1.8K Likes - Now that there is a ceasefire in this war, the other war will intensify – the one for control of the narrative

Over the last few weeks we have seen the attempt to maninuplate the telling of this story in so many ways

The dehumanisation of Palestinians – in language which brings to mind Fanon: 

“the terms the settler uses when he mentions the native are zoological terms. He speaks of the yellow man’s reptilian motions, of the stink of the native quarter, of breeding swarms, of foulness, of spawn, of gesticulations… Those hordes of vital statistics, those hysterical masses, those faces bereft of all humanity, those distended bodies which are like nothing on earth”

The killing of journalists. This alone. 

The prevention of reporters from entering Gaza, making it impossible for reporters to offer the same humanity and pathos they rightly gave Israeli victims of Hamas. Nonprofit Reporters Without Borders has accused Israel of "suffocating journalism in Gaza". We have relied on so many heartbreaking and brave citizen journalists, whose work has made it impossible to turn away

High profile entertainment figures cancelled or dropped, including Melissa Barrera, Susan Sarandon, and Maha Dakhil 

The censorship of statements of solidarity with Palestine, from high profile entertainment platforms 

A small line in a @politico story is one of the most important things I have read: 

The Biden administration is “concerned” that an “unitended consequence” of the ceasefire will be allowing journalists to report on what’s *actually* happened in Gaza. 
In the knowledge that this could jeopardise what public support remains for the devastation it has wrought 

The tragedies of the last weeks have brought out the humanity in so many observers and consumers of news, transcending immense pressure and the risk of censure to seek the truth. Time to pay attention more than ever

He speaks of the yellow man’s reptilian motions, of the stink of the native quarter, of breeding swarms, of foulness, of spawn, of gesticulations… Those hordes of vital statistics, those hysterical masses, those faces bereft of all humanity, those distended bodies which are like nothing on earth”

The killing of journalists. This alone. 

The prevention of reporters from entering Gaza, making it impossible for reporters to offer the same humanity and pathos they rightly gave Israeli victims of Hamas. Nonprofit Reporters Without Borders has accused Israel of "suffocating journalism in Gaza". We have relied on so many heartbreaking and brave citizen journalists, whose work has made it impossible to turn away

High profile entertainment figures cancelled or dropped, including Melissa Barrera, Susan Sarandon, and Maha Dakhil 

The censorship of statements of solidarity with Palestine, from high profile entertainment platforms 

A small line in a @politico story is one of the most important things I have read: 

The Biden administration is “concerned” that an “unitended consequence” of the ceasefire will be allowing journalists to report on what’s *actually* happened in Gaza. 
In the knowledge that this could jeopardise what public support remains for the devastation it has wrought 

The tragedies of the last weeks have brought out the humanity in so many observers and consumers of news, transcending immense pressure and the risk of censure to seek the truth. Time to pay attention more than ever

#DecolonisingMyBody is published 🚀

I honestly can’t think of a better way to bring this book into the world than with the magnificent, regal (literally) @adjoa.andoh 

Your response to the book has blown me away, thank you to everyone who came to see us at @earthackney - there were priests and priestesses, movie stars and writers, students, mothers, daughters, friends and teachers, healers and dreamers in the audience. 

My incredible editor Marianne Tatepo (the beauty in orange) who played a pivotal role in turning my internal obsession into a book)

And a whole Adjoa Andoh telling me that the younger her needed my work. I am beyond grateful 💫
