Join Diana Buttu, the Stanford-trained lawyer who sat inside the failed peace negotiations as legal advisor to the PLO team and later advised the Palestinian president, as she explains why she came to call them a mistake.

One of the lawyers who won the apartheid wall case at the International Court of Justice, Diana describes the room where an Israeli mapmaker redrew the West Bank with a marker and told her the law would be recognized only when Israel was forced to recognize it, the night soldiers seized her apartment at two in the morning, and why her own presence at that table legitimized the process she now regrets.

Join Aida Touma-Sliman — Nobel Peace Prize nominee, first Palestinian woman to chair a committee in the Knesset, first woman on the High Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel, founder of Women Against Violence, and outgoing Member of Knesset — for an unflinching reflection on a decade of fighting for Palestinian rights and gender justice from inside Israel's parliament.

Aida shares how a circle of six friends in 1992 Nazareth launched the first Arab feminist organization in Israel to confront honor killings, why she refuses to surrender the word "shahid" (martyr) to those colonizing her language, and what it cost her to name an apartheid regime on the Knesset floor.

She speaks with raw honesty about October 7, the genocide in Gaza, her suspension over al-Shifa, the death threats, and why she has decided the real battle must now be fought from the outside.

Join Ahmed Shihab El-Din, an Emmy-nominated journalist and producer, as he shares his powerful journey from a fragmented Palestinian ancestry to becoming a leading voice in global media. In this deeply personal conversation, Ahmed explores the weight of his name, the complexities of his queer and Palestinian identities, and the spiritual practice of bearing witness to both life and death. He offers a searing critique of mainstream media's "Do You Condemn?" trap, and shares his vision for a journalism of conscience that serves justice and truth. Through stories of intersectional solidarity, the politics of joy, and the courage to honor sadness and pain, Ahmed provides a masterclass in what it means to be a human being in a dehumanizing world.
