Over 110 family members. That’s how many Dr. Ramzy Baroud has lost in Gaza’s genocide. And he stopped counting a year ago. Among them: his sister, Dr. Soma — the 166th doctor murdered by Israeli forces. And his 11-year-old cousin Lema, an aspiring journalist who hoped to be the voice of her generation, killed alongside her parents and four siblings when Israeli warplanes flattened their shelter. Lema had been documenting the genocide on her phone.
In Episode 61 of The Enlightenment Podcast, Hanan and Shamim are joined by Dr. Ramzy Baroud, the Palestinian author, historian, journalist, and lifelong refugee from the Nuseirat camp whose work has become indispensable during the genocide in Gaza. For 25 years, Dr. Baroud has chronicled Palestinian life and resistance with unmatched clarity and courage through the Palestine Chronicle, one of the only remaining independent outlets publishing Palestinian voices from Gaza in real time.
Dr. Baroud is the author of several seminal books on Palestinian identity and struggle—works that have shaped global understanding of the Palestinian experience. He testified before the Gaza Tribunal that found Israel guilty of genocide, and his journalism has become essential reading as Western media continues to obscure, distort, and sanitize Israeli atrocities.
This is a conversation about grief, courage, and the refusal to let a people’s story be erased.
