ep43: Under Occupation: We Generate Hope from Nothing, w/ Aysar Nasrallah (Gaza)

I met Aysar Naserallah in the heat of the 2014 - 50 day war in Gaza. He worked with journalists and NGOs to translate, transport and help use unfold the destruction of his home land. Today we're still friends and last year when attacks bombarded Gaza again, he left me a haunting message as he moved his family out of their home and only to follow them the next day. So recently I called him up to find out how he's doing, and give us a picture of the struggle and how he keeps hope amid the occupation. 

I hope you'll take share podcast w/ your communities and begin to have real conversations about the violence of the oppressed v. the oppressor, so we can begin to translate the wars abroad to our wars at home. 

 

There's more to come. Stay tuned. And thank you for listening. May you find your way to hope - Cheers.
