In this episode, Rupande speaks with members of Global Development for Palestine about their tireless work to raise awareness about the ongoing conflict. Bringing in their extensive experience, the group talks about Palestine in context with decolonization, how global assistance organizations need to show up vs. their total lack of concern, the double standard & sense of white saviorism in the US - aid world and how aid washing is happening in Palestine.

The group talks about how the general public can help and how those who work in this sector can collectively organize through their professional hats.

Note: at minute 46, the speaker was referring to the Helms amendment, not the Hyde amendment.
