Episode 2 - Doctors Under Fire (w/ Rupa Marya)

As Israel continues to strike Gaza's hospitals with U.S. weapons, the American medical community has been largely silent. But not Dr. Rupa Marya. The UCSF physician and professor was fired for her outspoken opposition to the bombing of Gaza’s hospitals—a chilling reminder that, nearly two years into the genocide, speaking out on behalf of Palestine carries severe consequences.Her removal was not sudden. It was the culmination of a more than year-long campaign by donors, lawyers, and a California state senator to silence her. Harassed by administrators, doxed by Canary Mission, abandoned by colleagues, and betrayed by her university, Dr. Marya nevertheless kept speaking out.Now she joins host Kuros Charney on Right of Resistance to tell her story. She also discusses her book Inflamed: Deep Medicine and the Anatomy of Injustice—a startling account of how capitalism, colonialism, and systemic racism can literally kill us. As the Trump administration bulldozes our healthcare system and suppresses those who speak truth to power, Dr. Marya’s book is more relevant than ever. What must we do to halt our society’s dangerous trajectory—and where will we end up if we don’t?Subscribe to Right of Resistance on YouTube for videos of our episodes.Become a Patreon member to support our work.Follow us on: • Substack• Twitter/X: @KurosCharney and @RightofResist• Instagram: @KurosCharney and @RightofResistanceTheme music by Josh Charney.
