Israel's Bravest Politician: Palestinian Feminist vs Apartheid Parliament
from SuperHumanizer Podcast · host Dr. Hani Chaabo & Katie Bogen
Join Aida Touma-Sliman — Nobel Peace Prize nominee, first Palestinian woman to chair a committee in the Knesset, first woman on the High Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel, founder of Women Against Violence, and outgoing Member of Knesset — for an unflinching reflection on a decade of fighting for Palestinian rights and gender justice from inside Israel's parliament.Aida shares how a circle of six friends in 1992 Nazareth launched the first Arab feminist organization in Israel to confront honor killings, why she refuses to surrender the word "shahid" (martyr) to those colonizing her language, and what it cost her to name an apartheid regime on the Knesset floor.She speaks with raw honesty about October 7, the genocide in Gaza, her suspension over al-Shifa, the death threats, and why she has decided the real battle must now be fought from the outside.Like to read? 👉🏼 Check Out these Blog Posts:Six Friends in Nazareth: How Aida Touma-Sliman Built an Arab Feminist Movement From a Kitchen TableShahid, al-Shifa, and Khalas: Aida Touma-Sliman on the Knesset That Could No Longer Hear Her🎥 Prefer to watch?
