Ep 1978: Anger and despair at the the West’s callous indifference to Palestinian suffering

Dr. Shahd Abusalama talks to Eamon about the Palestinian people since the creation of Israel, her family, growing up in Jabalia Refugee camp in northern Gaza, and Bobby Sands. Shahd is a Palestinian scholar-activist and artist. Her Ph.D. from Sheffield Hallam University explores the historical representations of Gaza and its refugees in documentary films. It will be published by Bloomsbury this year, under the title, "Between Reality and Documentary". Shahd's blog can be found at https://palestinefrommyeyes.com/.
