In this episode, co-host Abeer engages in a powerful conversation with Alice Kisiya, a Palestinian Christian journalist and fitness trainer. Alice shares her deeply personal journey, focusing on her family’s ongoing battle to reclaim their land in Al-Makhrour, near Bethlehem, after it was seized by Israeli settlers with the support of Israeli forces.

This episode offers a meaningful perspective on activism, as Alice reflects on the emotional and legal challenges her family has faced. We also explore her efforts to foster solidarity across religious and cultural divides, and how her Christian faith continues to inspire her activism in the face of immense adversity.

Join us for an inspiring discussion about resilience, resistance, and the power of peaceful activism as Alice shares her unique perspective on the struggle for justice in Palestine.
