＊With a short video of her giving speech in kufiya＊

“At its October 12 gala, the organization presented the laureates of this year’s awards, including Iranian-German photographer Shirin Abedi, ... Upon receiving her award, Abedi made a minute-long statement that ended with a call to ‘free Palestine.’”

“A few days after the ceremony, German photojournalist Thomas Gerwers, the chairman of DGPh’s Art, Market, and Law Section, sent Abedi a letter asking the artist to issue an apology and accusing her of ‘political propaganda.‘”

“‘… we have a special responsibility for the right of the State of Israel to exist. Without ifs and buts,’ he continued. ‘We have been abused by you …’”

Really speaks volumes to these peoples way of thinking, that freeing palestine must necessarily include the destruction of Israel. There is only black and white, one and zero, nothing in between.

I’ll never understand how Israel can get away with so much. Like I feel like I’m living in crazy town.

Free Palestine 🇵🇸.
