He has frequently worked in Gaza over the last 25 years and his experience working as a medic during Israel’s devastating siege after the October 7 Hamas attacks saw him cited in South Africa’s genocide case at the International Court of Justice.Writing on Twitter/X, he said: “Invited to address a conference in Berlin about my work in Gaza hospitals during the present conflict.
They voted to stand in solidarity with the students and the teachers of 360 schools destroyed and 12 universities completely levelled. They stood in solidarity with the family and the memory of Dima Alhaj,Glasgow University students understood what we have to lose when we allow our politics to become inhuman. They also understand that what is important and different about Gaza is that it is the laboratory in which global capital is looking at the management of surplus populations.
So, in reality, who did these students vote for? My name is Ghassan Solieman Hussain Dahashan Saqer Dahashan Ahmed Mahmoud Abu-Sittah and, with the exception of myself, my father and all of my forefathers were born in Palestine, a land that was given away by one of Glasgow University's previous rectors.
The memoirs of the Haganah officer who had invaded my grandfather’s house were found by my uncle. In these memoirs, the officer notes with incredulity how the house was full of books and had a certificate for a law degree from the University of Cairo, belonging to my grandfather. And it was in Glasgow that I saw for the first time the meaning of international solidarity. Glasgow in that time was rife with groups that were organising solidarity with El Salvador, Nicaragua and Palestine.
12 universities completely flattened. 400 schools. 6000 students killed. 230 school teachers killed. 100 professors and deans and two university presidents killed. I also discovered that part of the genocidal iceberg are genocide enablers. Little people, men and women, in every facet of life, in every institution. These genocidal enablers come in three types.
Those of us who have seen, smelt and heard what the weapons of war do to a child’s body by design, those of us who have amputated the unsalvageable limbs of wounded children, can never have anything but the utmost disdain for all involved in the manufacture, design and sale of these instruments of brutalism. The aim of weapons manufacturing is to destroy life and to ravage nature.
