TGL 23 | While the World Watches Iran, Gaza Is Still Burning — Dr. Alice Rothchild

The war in Iran has dominated every headline. But in Gaza, there is no ceasefire. The suffering didn't pause; it just stopped being covered. In this episode, Maryanne Maldonado sits down with Dr. Alice Rothchild, physician, author, filmmaker, and one of the most unflinching voices on the Gaza crisis. A former Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School with nearly 40 years of practice as an OB-GYN, Dr. Rothchild has spent decades traveling to Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel, documenting what mainstream media doesn't show. She serves on the board of the Gaza Mental Health Foundation, is a member of the Jewish Voice for Peace Health Advisory Council, and has written multiple books on the human cost of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including Broken Promises, Broken Dreams, and On the Brink, translated into multiple languages. She's also a Jewish American who has dedicated her life to telling the Palestinian story. That combination, medical credibility, firsthand access, and moral courage, makes her one of the most important voices you can hear right now. While the world's attention shifts, Dr. Rothchild reminds us: Gaza is still there. And the people inside it still need the world to pay attention. Why Dr. Rothchild matters on this subject: Nearly 40 years as an OB-GYN, former Harvard Medical School faculty Has traveled to Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel repeatedly since the late 1990s Author of multiple books on Palestinian health and human rights Producer of the award-winning documentary Voices Across the Divide Board member, Gaza Mental Health Foundation Jewish Voice for Peace Health Advisory Council member Co-founder of Americans Jews for a Just Peace — Boston One of the few American Jewish voices with direct on-the-ground Gaza experience.
