On today’s show, Susan Abulhawa, human rights activist and author of the international bestseller Mornings in Jenin, joins host Christa Bruhn to discuss her recent visit to Gaza and the dire conditions she witnessed and that continue. In the conversation, Abulhawa emphasizes the dehumanization of Palestinians by Western media and the influence of Zionists in shaping public perception and explains the need for greater international support and accountability for the Israeli government’s actions and the United States’ support of those actions.


Abulhawa also speaks about her organization, Playgrounds for Palestine, which aims to allow children in Gaza to be children. The organization recently launched Phoenix Elementary Education, a school for grades 1 through 5.
