Jess Ghannam

Guests Rupa Marya and Jess Ghannam discuss the complicity of healthcare institutions in the devastation of Palestine, including the silence of Western health institutions and the power structures perpetuating settler colonialism and white supremacy. They analyze the unethical targeting of healthcare workers and the controversial article in JAMA that tries to create moral ambiguity around bombing hospitals. The speakers also emphasize the rise of right-wing ideology and the importance of solidarity with Palestine. They highlight the concept of decolonizing medicine, the need for self-care, and learning from elders.
