Gabor Mate tells Imran Garda that the ongoing war in Gaza has weighed heavily on him. A holocaust survivor and world-renowned expert on trauma, Mate talks about the impact of generational trauma in the conflict as well his journey from being a young Zionist to a critic of Israel and supporter of Palestinian rights.

He also discusses dehumanization, why the legacy of colonialism is a driver of extremism and explores how we can find healing in our “toxic” culture.

    As a Muslim, I feel deep respect and gratitude for the Jewish academics who are speaking out against the Israeli state. It takes a lot of courage for anyone to speak out, let alone for Jewish people.

    Palestine has occupied my heart since I went there in 2015, and now Gaza has a special place.

    When God chose them he chose this Man! NOT the likes of Benjamin Netanyahu
  • This is true for billions of people across the world. ‘Gaza’ is our waking thought, followed by enmity, tears, frustration and loathing for our pathetic, corrupt, evil rulers.

  • @g1fcg
    This so resonates with me - I am a 65 year old victim of extreme ongoing childhood abuse - I can really 'feel' the horror and trauma of the Palestinians, it is so analogous to the 'life' I lived where violence and abuse of every kind was 'my normal'!
  • @astorrian6247
