THE GENDERED ASPECT OF VIOLENCE IN PALESTINE

"They don't show the stabbing, the shootings, the s*xual abuse, the r**e that happened. It only shows humiliation and you know a little bit of physical violence and yet that was what sparked all of this outrage it sparked actual action from many governments around the world...we need to acknowledge that's not the heart of it. The heart of it is centuries of institutionalised systematised racial inequity, white supremacy, decades of intentional dehumanisation of P*lestinian lives, and normalisation of P*lestinian torture, P*lestinian suffering and abuse."

Irish activist Catriona Graham draws attention to the gendered aspect of violence, highlighting that men who endure all forms of abuse must receive equally the same attention as women and others who also are subjected to all forms of abuse that should never be perpetrated upon a human body. 

Catriona Graham was a participant of the Global Sumud Flotilla who went viral online after a video circulated of her hair being grabbed and pulled by an Israeli soldier after she had screamed "free Palestine" while being detained after being abducted at sea. 

The mission of the Global Sumud Flotilla is to break the siege I*rael imposed on Gaza in 2007, which successfully dictates what goods, services and people are allowed to enter and leave this coastal enclave subjected to a relentless military campaign between 2023 and 2025, which many political experts and international bodies have branded as a genocide waged against the P*lestinian people.
