"Genocidal Machine": Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah on Israel's Destruction of Gaza's Hospitals

2024-04-02T23:57:11.201Z

Israeli forces withdrew from Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City today after a two-week raid that has left most of the medical complex in ruins. Since October, Gaza's health sector has been completely decimated, leaving only a dozen hospitals partially functional as the entire medical infrastructure is relentlessly shelled, besieged and raided. We speak to British Palestinian reconstructive surgeon Ghassan Abu-Sittah, who spent over a month treating patients at Al-Shifa and Al-Ahli Baptist hospitals. He pays tribute to Dr. Ahmad Maqadmeh, a fellow surgeon that was found killed today alongside his mother at Al-Shifa. "I blame the Western journalists, who perpetuated the narrative that militarized the hospital as a justifiable and acceptable target," says Abu-Sittah about Maqadmeh's death. "This was a war Israel declared on Palestinian children," he later concludes, "because Palestinian children represent the Palestinian tomorrow that is incompatible with the Zionist settler-colonial project." Plus, we hear from a trauma surgeon currently volunteering at the European Hospital in Khan Younis. Dr. Feroze Sidhwa describes the scene at the hospital as a squalid shelter for thousands of refugees. "There's no privacy, no dignity for any of these people," he says.

Special Ed Doubles Down on Saying NWA Brought Destruction to Hip-Hop (Part 15)

2023-12-07T01:15:21.236Z

In this clip, Vlad reflected on his previous interview with Alonzo Williams where they discussed the significant influence of N.W.A. on the rise of gang culture, with gang activity reportedly escalating at music events after the group's rise to fame. Alonzo noted a change from when gangs focused on community protection to where the gangsta lifestyle and affiliation became profitable and 'cool,' leading to a widespread embrace of gang culture. Vlad and Special Ed questioned the lack of accountability, pointing to N.W.A.'s album 'Straight Outta Compton,' as a major release that increased the group's influence in promoting the 'gangsta' image. Special Ed suggested that the recording labels bore responsibility for supporting and encouraging artists to produce music that had destructive effects on communities. He called for accountability and honesty, arguing that for decades, the music industry was part of a systematic plan encouraging self-destruction within communities.

Stop the Violence Movement - Self Destruction

2013-09-10T19:07:57.153Z

The Stop the Violence Movement was begun by rapper KRS-One in 1989 in response to violence in the hip hop and African American communities.

In 1988, during a concert by Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy, a young fan was killed in a fight. The killing occurred shortly after Scott La Rock, a founding member of Boogie Down Productions, was killed in a shooting. KRS-One responded to these deaths by forming the Stop the Violence Movement to advance a vision of hip hop that would restore what he called hip hop's original principles to the music industry. Composed of some of the biggest stars in contemporary East Coast hip hop, the movement released a single, "Self Destruction", in 1989, with all proceeds going to the National Urban League.[1] A music video was created, and a VHS cassette entitled Overcoming Self-Destruction—the Making of the Self-Destruction Video was also released.

"Self-Destruction" was produced by KRS-One and D-Nice of Boogie Down Productions (Hank Shocklee of the Bomb Squad is credited as an associate producer), and featured the following:

Boogie Down Productions (KRS-One, D-Nice & Ms. Melodie)
Stetsasonic (Delite, Daddy-O, Wise, and Frukwan)
Kool Moe Dee
MC Lyte
Doug E. Fresh
Just-Ice
