“He’s treated the wounded under fire, been shot by an Israeli sniper, and spent over five decades fighting for Palestinian liberation through medicine, unity, and nonviolent resistance.”

In Episode 58 of The Enlightenment Podcast, Shamim and Hanan are joined by Dr. Mustafa Barghouti — a Palestinian physician, political leader, and General Secretary of the Palestinian National Initiative (Al-Mubadara) — whose lifelong mission bridges the frontlines of healthcare and the frontlines of freedom.

For more than 50 years, Dr. Barghouti has embodied the spirit of steadfastness (sumoud) — healing the injured, documenting Israeli war crimes, and building Palestinian democracy from within. From his political awakening during the 1967 war, to being shot by an Israeli sniper while treating the wounded, to his ongoing efforts to unify Palestinian leadership across divisions, Dr. Barghouti’s journey stands as a testament to moral courage and national resilience.

This episode is not just about politics — it’s about humanity, healing, and the unstoppable will of a people fighting for life against all odds.
