SEASON 2_Episode 01: BELONGING TO CONFLICTED TERRITORY|Haya Haddad: A Palestinian Israeli Citizen |Human Rights Activist

In this episode, Haya Haddad, a young, driven woman, a Christian, Palestinian, Israeli citizen, delves into her personal family and communal, historical narrative of displacement, and her multiple minority identities, all which inspire her social, humanitarian and political work. She talks about the hope for integration by understanding the collective human story.

This interview was done prior to the beginning of the war in Ukraine. While this discussion focuses on the displacement experience of the Palestinians, some of the themes, although different in detail, context and complexity, correlate with the current forced evacuation of Ukrainian citizens. I thought about this a lot while I prepared the episode to air. I expect you will too.
