🎙️ This week on 2 Pals & a Pod, we sit down with Rawan Arraf — lawyer, advocate, and founder of the Australian Centre for International Justice.

We unpack one of the most contentious questions right now: If Gaza is the test, has international law already failed?

Join us as we explore:

• how advocacy and law converge in the fight for Palestine

• what real accountability could look like

• and where global solidarity goes from here

🎙️ Episode 5 of 2 Pals & a Pod is out now!

We’re joined by the inimitable Amani Haydar, writer, artist, and advocate, for a powerful conversation on feminist praxis in a time of genocide. Together, we explore the links between state-sanctioned and interpersonal violence, asking: how can a race-critical, anti-imperialist, anti-colonial feminism help us make sense of - and resist - the violences we’re living through?

“Nothing could honestly ever prepare you.”

The third episode of 2 Pals & a Pod with Dr Bushra Othman is out now. Dr Othman is the first Palestinian-'Australian' woman doctor to go to Gaza, and recently returned from her third medical mission there.

On this episode, Dr Othman talks about starvation as a deliberate strategy to fracture communities, the gendered impact of genocidal violence, the responsibilities of medical professionals in a time of genocide, and how she used instant coffee packets to help a 13 year old boy with his physio sessions.

Welcome to the very first episode of 2 Pals & a Pod!

We’re joined by Tan Safi, Gadigal-born, award-winning filmmaker, writer, and member of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla crew aboard the Handala. Tan and fellow crew members were abducted in international waters by Israeli authorities in July this year, as they attempted to bring aid into Gaza and break the illegal blockade.

Tune in as we explore Tan’s journey, what activism means in everyday life, who carries its weight, and how we can contribute in meaningful ways.
