Our guest today is Issa Amro, a Palestinian Muslim who was nominated for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent resistance, activism, and human rights defense work amongst Israeli occupation and settlers in Hebron, West Bank.

We are also graced with a guest-host Ana D. Loucks who lives here in Goshen with her family and is the co-Director of Michiana Voices for Middle East peace. You can read her full bio below. 

A content warning, Issa talks briefly but frankly about the violations of the Israeli military, which include being beaten and sexual assault

Issa’s story and commitment to remain in Palestine for his people is one that will stay with me always.
