This podcast talks about the long-time persecution of Palestinians in the West Bank and it has moving talks “by Ashira Darwish, Palestinian journalist, and therapist, and by Dr. Gabor Maté, the acclaimed Hungarian Canadian physician whose work focuses on addiction and trauma. They are featured in the new film and talk about the new documentary, Where Olive Trees Weep – that explores Palestinian loss, trauma and the fight for justice over decades of life under Israeli occupation.” You have likely heard about the film. These talks add another dimension.

 “I was only 16 when I was taken,” says Darwish, describing the first time she was beaten and arrested by Israeli soldiers, which motivated her to become a journalist in order to both document and fight against the occupation. “What’s happening in Palestine is devastating, and what’s happening in the West Bank and Gaza has been going on for 75 years.”
Gabor Maté, a Holocaust survivor born in Hungary, recounts his own trauma as a child and says “that same horror” is being inflicted on Palestinian children today.
