In this episode, we sat down with Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam’s Policy Lead in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Bushra reflects on her dual identities as a Palestinian and a humanitarian, and how this has shaped her approach to her work. She speaks to the critical role that humanitarian actors have played in not just providing physical aid, but also in highlighting the truth of abuses they are witnessing. Bushra also discusses how the the dehumanization and dispossession of Palestinians in Israel and in global media and policy spaces has fueled longstanding impunity for Israel's violations of international law. In this regard, she emphasizes the need for breaking paternalistic patterns and for meaningfully including Palestinians in decisions on their future.
