Genocide in Gaza: A Position Paper

Diagnosing the Barriers: The Right to Health in Israel and the oPt by Physicians for Human Rights Israel

Episode notes

In this episode, we sit down with Tirza Leibowitz, Deputy Director of Physicians for Human Rights–Israel, to talk about PHRI’s groundbreaking report “Genocide in Gaza.”

The paper made global headlines as—for the first time—Israeli human rights organizations openly accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza. In this episode we examine how the report traces genocide through the systematic destruction of the basic conditions needed to survive: healthcare, food, water, and shelter.

Trigger warning: We discuss difficult issues, including attacks on hospitals, starvation, and the targeting of medical workers.
