"Have you ever heard directly from anyone who actually lives in Gaza? In our
screen-glazed world most of us have spent the last few years forming opinions
about what’s happening there based on the reporting and explanations of other
people, letting pixels, posts and headlines handle the heuristics. No
judgement, that’s just how it is, it’s how we’ve all been consuming the news.
Very few of us have the time, inclination or opportunity to speak to real
people on the ground.
So when we were introduced to Tala and Farah Mousa, two teenage sisters from
Gaza, we knew straight away we wanted to get them onto the podcast. They’ve
started a project called Build Hope, turning the rubble they’re surrounded by
into reusable bricks to help rebuild their community. Maybe you’ve got some
strong feelings about who’s responsible for all that rubble, but after speaking
to them, it was obvious they don’t get that luxury. They just have to survive,
and try fix what’s broken."
