In this episode, we present the work of Wasim Said, a comrade from Gaza who has documented the atrocities they and their people have experienced during the ongoing intensification of Israel's genocidal war on Palestine in his first book "Witness to the Hellfire of Genocide". The logistics and safety of an interview being made near impossible amidst the horrors, we instead read out a text sent to us by Wasim, and talk to Louis Allday from Liberated Texts who helped bring the book to publication. We discuss the nature of Wasim's struggle as a Palestinian man and as an active practitioner of literature as resistance, the dehumanization of genocide, and the way in which Wasim explicitly uses the medium of writing to transform complicity into witness and responsibility in the consciousness of those who receive his testimony and that of the Palestinian people.
