"You don't ask the perpetrator of genocide."
In a searing interview with the BBC, paediatrician Dr Tanya Haj Hassan condemned the broadcaster for echoing Israeli government talking points as she recounted her harrowing experiences in Gaza.
Dr Haj Hassan, who recently returned from volunteering with Medical Aid for Palestinians, shared the devastating story of her colleague, Dr Alaa, a paediatric emergency doctor at Nasser Hospital.
While Dr Alaa was on call at the hospital, her home was bombed and nine of her children were killed, their bodies charred and dismembered beyond recognition. Her husband remains in critical condition.
Dr Haj Hassan described a healthcare system in collapse: intensive care units overflowing with maimed, orphaned children – many the sole survivors of their families.
She also questioned why the BBC has delayed the release of 'Medics Under Fire', a documentary it commissioned about systematic attacks on Gaza’s healthcare workers, calling for its immediate release.
If you can make an album that stands out in this climate of excessive rappers, you’re a bad mofo. It’s extremely congested, everybody got a damn verse. 🤷🏽♂️ Keep your skill set and creative skill up above average, because when anyone can do what you do, you ain’t special. #PoPDuKe
There is NO 1 Rapper on this planet that I can say is better than the thousands of other Rappers who spit. It’s just not real. Everyone has a style, 🤷🏽♂️ and no one has heard every rapper. Foh #PoPDuKe
That’s the problem, no one is saying anything other than what they think people want to hear..🤷🏽♂️ smh shit is sad. Government has never worked for everyone because it’s built on division and the people suffer every time. Liars and Criminals. #PoPDuKe

Do great things while you are young, so when you get old you can enjoy the fruits of your accomplishments, and you’re not out here with tight jeans on and choker chins hanging with your grandkids looking crazy. #PoPDuKe
Once you’ve had a hand in exposing someone’s else’s short comings, your own becomes more vulnerable..it’s called karma. It never needs your assistance just an invitation. Mind your business. #PoPDuKe
