🎙️This week on the Sumud Podcast, we amplify the voices behind Lifeline for Palestine and their urgent call to activate the Uniting for Peace process, a UN mechanism that empowers the General Assembly to act when the Security Council is blocked by vetoes. Recorded at a moment of moral urgency, this episode explores how global solidarity, diplomacy, and people power can come together to protect Palestinian civilians and end genocide.

Our guests: Craig Mokhiber, international human rights lawyer and former UN Director; Dr. Jill Stein, American physician, activist, and three-time Green Party presidential nominee, and Mark Elbourno, Palestinian American political strategist and Green Party leader, break down the legal, political, and moral dimensions of the Uniting for Peace plan.

Together, they reveal how Lifeline for Palestine has mobilized a growing global movement demanding accountability and action, pushing governments to honor international law and the will of the world’s majority. This conversation is a call to conscience, and a roadmap for how humanity can stand together against impunity and for justice.
