🎙️ This special episode of the Sumud Podcast centers the Gaza Soup Kitchen and the people sustaining it under siege. Dr. Ed Hasan is joined by Hani Almadhoun to reflect on how a grassroots mutual aid effort became a lifeline amid blocked aid, collapsed infrastructure, and constant bombardment. The episode honors the legacy of Chef Mahmoud Almadhoun and features real footage filmed by Gaza Soup Kitchen videographers and photographers Omar Almadhoun, Leena Almadhoun, Khaled Qadas, and Mai Almadhoun, offering a direct window into life, labor, and survival in Gaza.

He is also the co founder of the Gaza Soup Kitchen, a grassroots initiative launched in early 2024 to provide hot meals, food parcels, and water to families across Gaza amid siege and famine.

🎙️ This week on the Sumud Podcast, we sit down with retired US Army Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel Anthony Aguilar for one of the most difficult and urgent conversations we have ever hosted. What he believed was a humanitarian mission quickly revealed the truth of Gaza under siege. Anthony describes arriving to find Rafah destroyed, witnessing American contractors and Israeli forces firing on starving civilians, and meeting a young boy he calls Amir whose death changed everything. He reflects on complicity, conscience, and why he ultimately resigned, returned home, and began briefing US lawmakers on the atrocities he witnessed. This is a raw and necessary conversation about genocide, impunity, and the moral cost of silence.

🌍 Anthony Aguilar is a retired US Army Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel and former Green Beret who served for 25 years across Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflict zones. In 2025 he worked with the newly formed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation through its subcontractor, UG Solutions, on what was presented as a neutral humanitarian mission. Once on the ground, he says he witnessed a coordinated system of forced displacement, engineered famine, and violent “aid” operations carried out in close coordination with Israeli authorities and supported by US contractors. His testimony has since informed media reporting, human rights investigations, and congressional briefings on US involvement in Gaza.

🔑 In this conversation, we explore

➡ How a supposed aid mission became a mechanism of displacement and control

➡ The destruction of Rafah and the true scale of civilian death

➡ Daily violence against starving families by American contractors and the IDF

➡ The ideology driving many US contractors

➡ The story of Amir and the smear campaign that followed

➡ Boston Consulting Group and the architecture of Gaza’s erasure

➡ Why Anthony chose to resign and speak publicly

➡ What the world must understand about the ongoing genocide in Gaza

🎙️ This week on the Sumud Podcast, we sit down with dress historian and fashion researcher Wafa Ghnaim for a profound exploration of how Palestinian material culture carries memory, identity, and truth across generations. Through the dresses, headdresses, and stitched motifs that define our heritage, Wafa reveals how every thread holds stories far deeper than the colonial timeline. She reflects on exile, reclaiming beauty through a non-Western lens, growing up Palestinian in the United States, the emotional weight of Syria, the urgency of documenting elders’ knowledge, and the dangers of cultural appropriation. This conversation is an intimate look at the power of dress as resistance, continuity, and home, and the sacred responsibility of preserving what our ancestors left for us.

🌍 Wafa Ghnaim is a dress historian, researcher, author, archivist, curator, educator and embroiderer who learned from her mother, award-winning artist Feryal Abbasi-Ghnaim. Wafa specializes in Palestinian, Syrian, Jordanian, and Lebanese dress history, focusing on traditional embroidery techniques, historic reconstruction and oral history. Her publications include “Tatreez & Tea,” THOBNA (2023), Tatreez Companion (2024), and Tatreez Beauty (2024). She continues her mother’s legacy through the Tatreez Institute, founded in 2016, which stewards a collection of over 180 dresses and headdresses from Palestine, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon for preservation, education, and research. She was the first Palestinian and Syrian embroidery instructor for the Smithsonian Museum, earned a senior interdisciplinary research fellowship at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and was named by Vogue, alongside her mother, as “the world’s leading guardians of tatreez.” Wafa is now a Mellon Foundation Fellow at the Museum of the Palestinian People.

Sami Tamimi is a British-Palestinian chef and author whose cooking is deeply rooted in the flavors of his homeland. In his first solo cookbook, Boustany: A Celebration of Vegetables from My Palestine, he embarks on a vibrant journey through Palestinian culinary traditions, celebrating simple, colorful dishes centered around vegetables and grains.

Sami opens up about cultural appropriation in “Israeli cuisine,” the politics of food, and the creation of his newest book, "Boustany", a love letter to Palestinian memory, land, and flavor.

With humor and grace, Sami reminds us that every dish carries a story of land, family, and survival.

🎙️ This week on the Sumud Podcast, we’re joined by Ahmad Ibsais, a law student, writer, and poet whose work captures life, loss, and defiance under siege. Through his acclaimed newsletter State of Siege, Ahmad documents a generation’s struggle for justice, blending legal insight, faith, and art to reclaim narrative power in a world determined to erase it.

In this episode, Ahmad speaks about courage on campus, finding strength through community, and how words can challenge systems of fear and censorship. He also shares his poem “Living in Memories,” a haunting reflection on endurance and remembrance amid unimaginable suffering.

Reflecting on his journey from Nablus to the University of Michigan, he navigated a law school environment steeped in Zionist influence while remaining steadfast in his convictions. He shares how speaking out for Palestine has come with professional risks, yet also profound purpose, and how faith and community have anchored him through moments of isolation and doubt.

Ahmad discusses the limits of the American legal system, its complicity in silencing pro-Palestine voices, and how young lawyers can still use the law as a site of resistance. From the courtroom to the classroom, he exposes the ways repression is disguised as “neutrality,” and why Palestinians must continue to name genocide even when institutions refuse to.

In this conversation, we explore:

➡ The making of State of Siege and documenting lived experience

➡ Speaking truth to power in academia and law

➡ Faith, memory, and the psychology of steadfastness (sumud)

➡ The role of poetry and storytelling in collective healing

➡ How young advocates are redefining resistance through word and action

🎙️This week on the Sumud Podcast, we sit down with Aymann Ismail, journalist, storyteller, and father, to explore how identity, faith, and truth-telling intersect in a time of moral crisis. A staff writer at Slate, the author of Becoming Baba, and president of the Arab and Middle Eastern Journalists Association (AMEJA). Aymann has spent years documenting how American media frames Arabs, Muslims, and Palestinians, and what it means to write honestly while the world burns.

Born in Newark, New Jersey, to Egyptian parents, Aymann came of age in the shadow of 9/11, an experience that forced him to navigate fear, belonging, and dual identity. In this deeply personal conversation, he shares how those formative years shaped his journalism from "Who’s Afraid of Aymann?" and PBS’s "American Muslims: A History Revealed" to his acclaimed essay, "The Store That Called the Cops on George Floyd", which won a Writers Guild Award and was nominated for a National Magazine Award.

With humility and clarity, he unpacks the ethical dilemmas of journalism, the burden of representation for Arab reporters, and the parallels between the post-9/11 era and the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Through it all, Aymann reflects on fatherhood, faith, and what it means to tell stories that refuse to dehumanize.

🔑 In this conversation, we explore:

➡ Growing up Arab Muslim in New Jersey after 9/11

➡ The parallels between anti-Palestinian racism and post-9/11 Islamophobia

➡ Journalism, bias, and courage in the era of genocide
