In this episode, we speak with Dr. Shani Bar Tuvia about a new report based on dozens of interviews, shedding light on the silencing — both formal and informal — of Palestinian doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals in Israel's medical institutions.

We examine what happens when coexistence depends on erasure, and what this reality means for medicine, ethics, and identity within Israel’s healthcare system.

In this episode of Diagnosing the Barriers, we look at how civic space in Israel is rapidly shrinking—and what that means for human rights organizations and activists in Israel and Palestine, to try and operate under increasing political pressure.

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.
