Description

In this episode, we host Assala Sayara (social worker, PhD student, activist, public speaker, and founder and director of Haweyate) to explore what lies at the heart of Palestinian resistance - a struggle between life and death, identity and erasure, justice and injustice.From the psychology of resistance to the questions of Islamic and moral duty, we ask:Why do Palestinians resist?What makes a resistance fighter?Is resistance, even armed resistance, a justified response?And where do we - as an Ummah and global community - stand between condemnation and justification?This conversation dives deep into the human reality of resistance, moving beyond headlines and soundbites to uncover the identity, dignity, and duty that shape the Palestinian struggle.Follow Assala’s work: https://www.instagram.com/assalasayara/https://www.instagram.com/haweyate/Follow Stand4Palestine's Work:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stand4palestineaus/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stand4palestineausWhatsApp: bit.ly/S4P_WA
