About this episode

This episode is in Arabic. Head over to the Kalam Podcast YouTube page to watch the full conversation with English subtitles.

In the wake of the killing of 23-year-old Gazan journalist Hossam Shabat in an Israeli airstrike, we want to publish our conversation with the Palestinian journalist Lama Ghosheh.

Lama Ghosheh has been in and out of the Israeli prison and correctional system after Israeli authorities accused her of inciting violence and supporting terrorism. She, and many journalism advocates, say that Israel is trying to make an example out of her in order to scare her Palestinian colleagues into obedience.
