الحمل والولادة ليسا مجرد لحظة بيولوجية، بل مسار معقد تتداخل فيه الضغوط المجتمعية والأسرية مع ممارسات طبية قد تحرم النساء والأمهات من رعاية صحية عادلة ومستنيرة تحترم قرارهن وحقهن بالوصول إلى المعرفة الكاملة. في هذا السياق، برزت وظيفة "الدولا"، أو مرافقة الولادة، كمهنة حديثة نسبيًا، تقدم دعمًا جسديًا وعاطفيًا وتثقيفيًا للأمهات، وتعمل على تعزيز وصولهن إلى العدالة الإنجابية، خاصة في ظل تحديات سياسية واقتصادية تزيد من هشاشة النساء أثناء الإنجاب.

Ian Williams, President of the Foreign Press Association, discusses the targeting of Palestinian journalists in Gaza. Williams, who is also an author, writer, and broadcaster, highlighted the silence of western journalists and the growing toll on Palestinian media workers in the besieged territory. Israel has systematically targeted and killed Palestinian journalists in Gaza for nearly two years. Since October 2023, more than 270 journalists and media workers have been killed. In the most recent incident, the Israeli military killed six journalists who had been sheltering in a tent used by media staff in Gaza City. Among those killed was 28-year-old Al Jazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif, along with other members of the network’s team reporting from Gaza.

The number of international human rights organizations, genocide scholars, public officials, and UN representatives making this assertion continues to grow. Now, two well-respected Israeli human rights groups have released reports concluding that Israel is committing genocide. One is B’Tselem, the Israeli Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories. The other, Physicians for Human Rights Israel, issued a report titled "Destruction of Conditions of Life: A Health Analysis of the Gaza Genocide," which focuses on the dismantling of Gaza’s healthcare and other life-sustaining systems. Aseel Aburass, Director of the Occupied Territories Department at Physicians for Human Rights Israel, discussed the findings that led to the report’s genocide determination.

Alex de Waal, Executive Director of the World Peace Foundation at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, Tufts University, discusses the growing evidence of famine and widespread starvation in Gaza. Famine is officially confirmed when three core thresholds are breached: a drastic decline in food consumption, high levels of acute malnutrition, and deaths caused by starvation. However, gathering reliable data on malnutrition and starvation-related deaths is extremely difficult due to the collapse of health systems, according to a joint alert from the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

Returning to Syria after the fall of the Assad regime is not just a normal personal step, but an intense exercise on both the individual and collective levels, a moment of intersection between a past in exile, a present full of transformations, and an uncertain future. What does returning after 13 years of attempts to recover and build in exile after years of displacement and war mean? And will the "new" Syria be a homeland for all and truly different from the one that many were forced to leave?

Jess and Jamal discuss the worsening starvation crisis in Gaza, where over 100,000 children under the age of two—including 40,000 infants—are at imminent risk of mass death due to the total absence of infant formula and nutritional supplements. Earlier, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) warned that child malnutrition among children under five in Gaza doubled between March and June, a result of the ongoing blockade imposed by Israeli forces.

Large numbers of migrant workers in Lebanon are subjected to systematic abuses and harsh living conditions, which in some cases may amount to forms of slavery. This violence is exacerbated by the political and economic crises that have plagued Lebanon in recent years, especially during the ongoing Israeli aggression. The forms of violations vary to include labor, physical and health aspects, in the absence of any effective means of protection or real welfare policies. In this context, Doctors Without Borders - Lebanon conducted field research through in-depth interviews with a group of migrant workers who were subjected to systematic abuses, to document their health and living conditions.

Jess and Jamal discuss the BBC’s coverage of Israel’s bombings in Gaza. According to an analysis of over 35,000 pieces of content produced by the UK’s public broadcaster, the BBC is “systematically biased against Palestinians.” They are also joined by Professor Hicham Safieddine, who discusses his recent article titled “Nawaf Salam is Failing to Rebuild Lebanon—While Bending to US-Israeli Interests.”

Despite Al-Azhar's declaration that the legal procedure "house of obedience warning" is incompatible with Islamic law, it has been used in Egypt for over a century to force women to relinquish their financial rights or return to unsafe homes.

For decades, Christians in the Middle East have witnessed their numbers dwindle due to war, occupation and sectarianism, threatening centuries of cultural and religious pluralism that characterized the region. In his recent article "The Damascus Church Bombing and the Collapse of Middle East Christianity," Daoud Kuttab discusses the imperative of reversing this trend. Daoud Kuttab is a former Ferris Professor of Journalism at Princeton University and publisher of Milhilard.org, dedicated to the Christian community in Jordan and Palestine.

Despite pledging during his election campaign to end America's involvement in "endless" and "forever wars," President Trump ordered a strike on Iranian nuclear sites, risking entangling the U.S. in another conflict in the Middle East. Dr. Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi, Senior Lecturer in Modern Middle Eastern History at the University of York, discusses Israel’s attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, Iran’s massive retaliation, and the escalating risks moving forward.

في السنوات الأخيرة، استُحدثت وظيفة جديدة في عالم السينما والتلفزيون تُعرف بـ“منسقة المشاهد الحميمية والحساسة“. أثارت هذه الوظيفة الكثير من الجدل بين من يراها وسيلة لحماية الممثلين والممثلات، ومن يعتبرها إما تقييدًا للإبداع أو ترويجًا للمحتوى الجنسي. في قلب هذا السجال، تظهر تساؤلات مُلحّة: ماذا تفعل منسقة المشاهد الحميمية والحساسة على أرض الواقع؟ وهل تنحصر وظيفتها في الضبط والرقابة، أم تنطوي على أبعاد إبداعية؟ وماذا تكشف هذه المهنة عن علاقتنا بالجسد، بالتراضي، وبمهنة التمثيل نفسها؟ In recent years, a new role has emerged in the world of cinema and television known as the "intimacy coordinator." This role has sparked much controversy between those who see it as a way to protect actors and actresses, and those who consider it either a restriction on creativity or a promotion of sexual content. At the heart of this debate, pressing questions arise: What does an intimacy coordinator do on the ground? Is their role limited to control and censorship, or does it involve creative dimensions? And what does this profession reveal about our relationship with the body, with consent, and with the acting profession itself?

Unpunishable crimes need boundaries because enough is enough! New episode with our friend and brother, Boula Samuel, where we'll create punishments for any annoying and provocative act that shouldn't be happening anymore.

Jess & Jamal discuss the recent developments of the Israeli attack on Iran. Professor William A. Schabas talks about the escalating pressure on the International Criminal Court to abandon its case against Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. President Trump recently issued an executive order sanctioning four of the judges presiding over the case. Schabas is a Professor of International Law at Middlesex University, London, as well as Professor Emeritus at Leiden University and the University of Galway.
