    “Why Must Palestinians Be Polite During a Genocide?" | Susan Abulhawa

    Susan Abulhawa joins Ahmed Alnaouq for a conversation about Gaza, literature, censorship and the power of storytelling.The internationally bestselling Palestinian-American novelist and author of Mornings in Jenin discusses her experience travelling to Gaza in 2024, bringing supplies and medicine, and mentoring young Palestinian writers whose lives had been shattered under the weight of a genocide.She explains why she believes Palestinians in Gaza must be at the forefront of telling their own stories, and why diaries, fiction, journalism and literature can become part of the historical record.The conversation also examines the intense pressure placed on Palestinians to police their language, the expectation that Palestinians should remain “perfect victims,” and the consequences writers can face when they refuse to moderate their words.Abulhawa speaks about returning from Gaza and realising that she had been censoring herself, the pressure she has faced in the publishing world, and why she believes that losing books, contracts or professional opportunities cannot outweigh the responsibility to speak out with force as Israel’s genocide against her people continues to unfold.👉 Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.

    I Couldn’t Stay at the BBC After This | Karishma Patel

    In the first episode of a brand-new Palestine Deep Dive series, Karishma Patel sits down with Ahmed Alnaouq to discuss why she left the BBC after five years as a journalist and newsreader.  The conversation offers a rare insider perspective on one of the most consequential debates in journalism today as Karishma shares her journey from aspiring public service journalist to becoming one of the BBC's rising on-air reporters, before ultimately concluding that she could no longer work within an institution she believes failed to uphold its journalistic principles during Israel's genocidal war on Gaza. Together, they explore the culture inside mainstream newsrooms, editorial decision-making, political pressure, media ethics, the role of evidence in journalism, and why so many journalists have become disillusioned with legacy media. Karishma also explains why she believes independent journalism is more important than ever and introduces the new Palestine Deep Dive series featuring journalists who left major media organisations over their coverage of Gaza. Palestine Deep Dive reached out to the BBC for reply. A BBC spokesperson said: “The BBC is fully committed to reporting the Israel-Gaza conflict independently, accurately and to the highest standards of journalism. We have covered the conflict impartially and without fear or favour and produced powerful coverage from the region that has shown how the Israeli government and military’s actions have had a devastating human cost on civilians in Gaza.” They also added that coverage across all BBC platforms “included stories of Palestinian victims and testimony from civilians, doctors and aid workers,” and “consistently reflect the historical context through our experienced correspondents, most notably International Editor Jeremy Bowen, and we explore and explain the accusations of genocide and war crimes.” “The BBC, like all international news organisations, is unable to operate within Gaza, but through working with trusted freelance journalists we have kept audiences informed through first-hand testimony and descriptions of what is happening. The BBC has repeatedly called on the Israeli government to allow international journalists into Gaza to work alongside Palestinian journalists.” 👉 Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.

    Scholasticide: Erasing Gaza's Past, Present and Future| Dr Abdel Razzaq Takriti

    Gaza has long been recognised as one of the most educated and highly literate societies in the region, despite decades of Israeli occupation, blockade, repeated military assaults, and displacement. Palestinians, including those in Gaza, have often been described as among the world’s most highly educated refugee populations. In this episode of Falasteeniya, Palestine Deep Dive’s Hala Hanina is joined by Dr Abdel Razzaq Takriti, Associate Professor of History and Arab-American Educational Foundation Chair in Arab Studies at Rice University, to examine the systematic destruction of Gaza’s education system. Together, they explore the impact of the devastation on Gaza’s universities, schools, libraries, archives, and cultural institutions, and consider what the future of education in Palestine may look like in its aftermath. 👉 Support us by becoming a paid subscriber from as little as £1 a month.
