Dr. Khalil Khalidy, Orthopedic Doctor in Deir al Balah, Gaza

The voices of Palestinians in Gaza are some of the most censored in the world. If they are not killed outright, they are silenced by purposeful omission in order to support Israel’s narrative. It is therefore vital that alternative media work to find and platform these voices, and that people who are not fooled by pro-Israel propaganda engage with it, share it, and allow it to inform our actions. This week we sit down with Dr. Khalil Khalidy, an orthopedic doctor in Deir al-Balah, Gaza. His testimony is necessary and powerful and understandably distressing. We are therefore here including a content warning for this week’s show as Dr. Khalidy does not sugarcoat his lived experiences. The following program includes descriptions of an ongoing genocide, of psychological and physical suffering from the perspective of a doctor trying to work in abominable conditions with little to no supplies.
