This week Lara and Michael sit down with one of the world's most renowned Palestinian authors Susan Abulhawa. We discuss her trips to Gaza the writing workshops she organized and the subsequent compilation of stories from people in Gaza that became Every Moment Is a Life: Gaza in the Time of Genocide. We talk about the time spent in Gaza, the horrors she witnessed, and the community she built. Susan tells us about her children's book Palestine On the Moon which is available to purchase (within the US) from her website.

On today’s show, Susan Abulhawa , human rights activist and author of the international bestseller Mornings in Jenin, joins host Christa Bruhn to discuss her recent visit to Gaza and the dire conditions she witnessed and that continue. In the conversation, Abulhawa emphasizes the dehumanization of Palestinians by Western media and the influence of Zionists in shaping public perception and explains the need for greater international support and accountability for the Israeli government’s actions and the United States’ support of those actions. Abulhawa also speaks about her organization, Playgrounds for Palestine , which aims to allow children in Gaza to be children. The organization recently launched Phoenix Elementary Education , a school for grades 1 through 5. Photo by Houssem Bouaza on Unsplash Did you enjoy this story?
