The Algorithm of Genocide: Healing as Resistance

“What people need to understand is that the trauma of the past two years — not only for the people of Gaza, but for the entire world — is unlike anything we’ve experienced in our lifetimes.”In this searing episode of The Tea with Myriam Francois, we speak with Ashira Darwish — a Palestinian trauma healer and a survivor of Israeli detention — about what this moment means for our collective nervous system, and how healing itself can be an act of resistance.In a world where social media algorithms are engineered to keep us numb to genocide — where images of amputated children are livestreamed between cat memes and bikini thirst traps — self-care becomes an act of political warfare.Ashira explains how liberation psychology begins with understanding where we come from — the lineages we carry, the traumas we inherit, and the ancestral keys we also hold for healing.Together, we unpack:🚨 Israel’s torture system in detention🚨 How algorithms turn genocide into background noise🚨 Why our nervous systems go numb — by design🚨 Somatic work: healing intergenerational trauma🚨 What fuels Israeli society’s capacity for violence🚨 Liberation psychotherapy: healing as resistance🚨 Why Western media misreads Palestinian resistanceThis episode is about remembering that both trauma and healing are inherited. It’s about choosing not to go numb.👉 Subscribe for more bold conversations: [link]🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.#TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #AshiraDarwish #Trauma #Healing #LiberationPsychotherapy #CatharsisHolisticHealing #Resistance #CollectiveHealing #FreePalestine #WhereTheOliveTreesWeepAUDIO CREDITSPresenter & Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Ashira DarwishSenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Leena KhanVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.
