Today on The Rupa Subramanya Show, Rupa speaks with Manar Al Sharif. From her roots in Syria to her fervent activism in Gaza, Manar’s journey embodies an unyielding commitment to shedding light on the challenges faced by Gazan women and children.
In April 2020, Al-Sharif was arrested for promoting a Zoom event called “Skype with your enemy” that featured Israeli speakers. The event planners were also arrested. As a consequence, Al-Sharif spent three months in a Hamas women’s prison.
Al-Sharif shares her story with Rupa and her thoughts on the current Israel-Hamas war.

Colonel Richard Kemp is a former British army commander and the author of “Attack State Red; A Landmark Tour of Duty in Afghanistan.” He is a frequent commentator on Middle Eastern affairs, paying special attention to Islamic terrorism and military operations of the Israeli Defense Forces.
“The reason that Hamas agreed to release the hostages they've released, as I said before—about 100 of them—is because of the military pressure Israel was putting on Hamas,” says Colonel Kemp, who claims that the IDF is the most ethical army in the world, frequently risking the lives of their own citizenry in order to minimize casualties on the enemy side.
“[The IDF] dropped many, many leaflets on the southern areas of Gaza, warning people they were about to attack in those areas that they need to leave. They even dropped maps showing safe places to go to, which is pretty much unprecedented. They've made thousands of phone calls, sent many thousands of text messages—millions of text messages actually, if you look at the overall campaign—in order to tell civilians in Gaza to get out of a certain area and go to a different area where they're safer,” says Colonel Kemp. “On the other hand, Hamas—they want Israel to kill their civilian population. They see them as weapons of war. They want to do everything they can to make sure the IDF kills Palestinian civilians. And the reason for that is to bring pressure on Israel from the world community—from the United States, from the U.N., etc.—to delegitimize Israel, to isolate Israel, to vilify Israel. That's what their whole strategy is based on.”
