Voices for Peace – with Lara Friedman
Young progressive Jews calling for a ceasefire in Gaza spent weeks since October 7 shutting down U.S. train stations, highways, and government buildings. But can their messages of solidarity reverberate beyond these demonstrations to cause change within government and Congress, especially as criticism of Israel is being increasingly shut down and classified as anti-semitism by US officials.
Today's episode is with Lara Friedman, president of the Foundation for Middle East Peace (FMEP), a nonprofit organization working to promote peace between Israel and Palestine/peaceful future for Palestinians and Israelis. -
From Gaza to Regional War? – with Abdalhadi Alijla

Nakba 2.0 – with Sharif ElMusa
For almost all Palestinians, the current war on Gaza strongly evokes the Nakba, when Palestinians were forced to flee their homeland in 1948 following the creation of the state of Israel. As 1.9 million people are currently displaced in Gaza, many believe they are reliving the Nakba in its worst forms. In today's episode, we hear from Sharif ElMusa, professor emeritus at the American University in Cairo, Palestinian poet, and Nakba survivor.

“We Lost Our Dignity in this War” – with Nour Swirki
Some analysts have called Gaza a “news grave” because of the killing of journalists and their families, and the destruction of media outlets and communication infrastructure. For journalists on the ground in Gaza, the barriers are insurmountable, especially when they are fighting to survive themselves. On today's episode, we hear from Nour Swirki, one of the few last standing journalists in Gaza about her own story of displacement, and about how she is able to continue doing her job during what she calls "a war against anything Palestinian...against our existence."

misinformed
your getting misinformation. there was no war on gaza. for years israel had peace with palestine and supported them. gaza attacked israel and for years have wanted a genocide. usually, when this happens israel offers something for peace, but after years and years of battles they finally stood up for themselves. they even provide medicine and goods for the innocent palestinians. during the war israel even has helped innocent people and sent warning before launching rockets. after years of losing their people, they need to fight back.
