This episode’s guest is Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, a trauma and critical care surgeon based in California who volunteered twice in Gaza—witnessing a systematic pattern of children shot in the head and chest by Israeli ground forces, and narrowly escaping death when Israel broke the latest ceasefire and bombed the hospital he was treating patients in. He recalls his experiences from both visits, discussing the critical role of the United States in perpetuating the ongoing atrocities; Israel’s intentional targeting of hospitals, schools, and caregivers; the horrific humanitarian crisis decimating the civilian population of Gaza; and the utter impunity enjoyed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—a fugitive war criminal wanted by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. Feroze stresses the vital need for the United States to immediately cease supplying Israel with U.S. taxpayer-funded bombs and weaponry, and end its participation in the mass killings.
