South Africa14 days ago - Palestinian Climbers
Thank you for your last episode interviewing Palestinian climbers and Tim. This episode was informative and heartwarming.
You all have done what very few western media outlets have ever done, humanize Palestinians by including their voices on your show. Would love to hear more content like this.
