Summary

A ceasefire has been reached in Gaza after Israel launched a wave of airstrikes that killed 34 Palestinians, including eight members of one family. Ali Abunimah of The Electronic Intifada discusses Israel's latest bombings, which come after more than one year of weekly, deadly Israeli attacks on non-violent Palestinian demonstrators. "The message we're getting from people in Gaza is that 'we're going to continue protesting because we have no choice -- what else can we do, stay home and die?'", Abunimah says. "So people are continuing, and I think the question that should be directed to all of us is: What are we doing to act in solidarity with them and amplify their voices, so this horrific siege and the impunity that Israel enjoys finally ends?" Guest: Ali Abuminah, co-founder of The Electronic Intifada and author of "The Battle for Justice in Palestine."

Ali Abunima, welcome to Pushback.

0:20.0

As we are speaking, the death toll in Gaza has

0:23.3

reached at least 20. Talk to us about what's been happening over the last few days.

0:27.2

Well, early on Tuesday, Israel carried out a completely gratuitous, unprovoked, extrajudicial

0:34.6

execution when it bombed the home of Bahá'u Atta,

0:39.3

senior commander of the Islamic Jihad resistance movement,

0:44.3

killing him and his wife.

0:47.3

And this very predictably prompted retaliatory strikes

0:53.3

from Palestinian resistance groups who fired rockets at Israel.

1:00.2

And Israel has been pursuing its attack on Gaza with repeated air raids that up to the time we're speaking have killed 24 people according to the

1:15.5

health ministry in Gaza and injured dozens more as well as causing a lot of property destruction

1:22.3

and inflicting real terror on the two million people effectively caged in the Gaza Strip,

1:31.9

particularly for children.

1:34.2

That's something that parents in Gaza talk about constantly is just the utter terror

1:59.8

It did not kill him, but it did kill his son.
