In this powerful episode, Khadeja, the International Advocacy Officer at MIFTAH, delves into the brutal realities confronting Palestinians, focusing on sexual violence as a weapon of genocide and the systematic dehumanization of Palestinians. She critically examines how Western media and political narratives often reduce Palestinians to "terrorist" men and "oppressed" women. Khadeja also addresses the limits of Western feminists, who have largely remained silent about the oppression of Palestinian women. She unpacks the layers of racism faced by both Palestinian men and women, exploring how these intersecting forms of oppression contribute to the erasure of Palestinian voices, silencing the resistance of those who continue to fight for justice.
