Customer Reviews
Brave, Inspiring, and compassionate!
Thank you Ibrahim and Amira for sharing your stories in such an honest, educated, and empathetic way
Smart, honest and inspiring
There are a lot of things I can say about this podcast but the only thing that really matters is that you have been a light for me in what seemed like a hopeless and depressing situation -the only source of hope that I have found so far about this conflict. Thank you.
We need more voices like these
I am an Israeli American and I have been searching for voices like these - people with genuine skin in the game who speak about accountability on both sides and how shifting away from entrenched binary narratives in the conflict between Israel and Hamas is critical for the future of the Palestinian people. The brave hosts and podcast guests are warm, genuine, uplifting and occasionally heartbreaking - all the things we need to hear. This is the future, if there is to be a future in the troubled region.🙏
