In the wake of the killing of 23-year-old Gazan journalist Hossam Shabat, we would like to dedicate this episode to the journalists of Palestine, working under near impossible conditions 🍉
The Palestinian journalist @lamaghosheh has experienced firsthand the punitive and ruthless nature of the Israeli judicial system. In 2022 she was accused of inciting violence and supporting terrorism. Since then she has been arrested, put under house arrest and forced to perform community service in Israel.
This episode was recorded in the summer of 2024 in @sirdabstudio on the occupied West Bank in Palestine.
Special thanks to @yasminewazaatar for translating.
This conversation is in Arabic but is available with full English subtitles via our YouTube page. Find it via the link in our bio.

Episode 43: Biking in Palestine 🍉
Simply being Palestinian on the West Bank is increasingly wrought with risk and danger. Israel is currently waging war on the West Bank, displacing tens of thousands.
This interview is from the summer of 2024 and tells the story of how bicycling has been made impossible by the Israeli military and violent illegal settlers.
@mohammadzarour tells the story of @palestineriders – one of many biking initiatives that has become impossible to maintain.
As always with our Ramallah series, this episode was shot in @sirdabstudio on the occupied West Bank in Palestine.

Throughout our time in Palestine last summer, we were mesmerised by the stories of the First Intifada. The innovative, non-violent, magical popular revolt against Israeli domination in the late 80’s and early 90’s. We noticed that many Palestinian millennials and Gen Z’s were equally mesmerised, because our current situation is one of such despair and destruction.
Iman Aoun and @ashtartheatre is a direct product of the momentous First Intifada – theatre for the people! Theatre against tyranny! Theatre for artistic liberation!
