Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack It’s all a bit mad at the moment, so it was a salve for the soul to sit down and chat with Palestinian photo-journalist from Gaza, Eman Mohamed. She describes growing up in a matriarchal household, going to a convent school and falling in love with photography. We discuss her life outside of Gaza, in the US and now in Ireland. I loved this conversation and I hope you will too.

For more please visit AFSC.org Ahmed Alnaouq grew up in Gaza and is the cofounder of We Are Not Numbers. 21 members of his family were killed in one Israeli airstrike during the ongoing genocide. 'During the ethnic cleansing of the Nakba 76 years ago, Palestinians took it upon themselves to immortalize their stories, documenting these massacres in writing. But, the old did not die, and the young did not forget, as Zionist leaders wrongly assumed they would. Palestinians, within the confines of their prison in Gaza, are once again writing their stories and recording history.'

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack Editors Note: I’d recommend watching this interview in order to get a sense of the reality in Gaza right now. Muhammad Almassarey holds a PhD in Business-Management (Entrepreneurship) from UUM- Malaysia. He wrote 60% of his thesis during the genocide from Gaza. He shares with us the journey of getting his PhD from a tent in Gaza and how acts of solidarity allowed him to achieve his goals, despite all challenges and having been displaced 10 times after losing his home. He literally rescued his PhD thesis from under the rubble, repeating “There is tomorrow and it will be better.” Tune in for the full story.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack Editors Note: This podcast was recorded shortly before the Green Party won the UK by-election Prof Richard Murphy is one of the best commentators and analysts of the UK’s politics, economy and societal challenges. His own blog and output reaches millions of people every month. Which makes the fact that he is a tortoise shack regular all the more remarkable. We love having him and this is him at his frank speaking (Starmer, Polanski, SNP etc) best. Note: Richard also discusses his diagnosis with Autism as an older person and how that affects (even more) his views on the UK government’s “changes” on special needs education.
