A year ago, saying ‘Israel has no right to exist’ would have been dismissed as extreme.
Today, amid the horror of Gaza, more and more people are openly agreeing – and Dr Rahmeh Aladwan is one of the voices leading that shift.
In this powerful speech and follow-up interview, the suspended orthopaedic surgeon outlines the Thawabit – the Palestinian principles of liberation – and dismantles the two-state illusion.
She calls anti-Zionism inseparable from anti-Israel, rejects normalisation and demands full decolonization: Palestine from the river to the sea with Jerusalem as its capital.
What was once taboo is now part of everyday conversations in protests, communities and even the media.
Dr Rahmeh’s message captures a turning point: public opinion is moving fast and the old narratives are crumbling under the weight of Israel’s actions.
