Today we revisit a conversation with Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian student activist who was arrested this week by immigration officials. His detention is not an isolated case. It’s part of a disturbing trend in which Palestinian students and voices of dissent are being systematically silenced under vague claims of national security—with no transparency and no due process.Mohsen underscores empathy as the foundation of his work, especially in understanding others' perspectives, including Israelis and Jews, despite the challenging circumstances.In this conversation with Jeff from last fall, Mohsen shares his story of growing up in a Palestinian refugee camp and the significant trauma he experienced there. Despite losing an uncle, two cousins, and his best friend during the Second Intifada, and more recently, two additional cousins in the West Bank, Mohsen remains steadfast in his hope for justice and peace.Together Mohsen and Jeff discuss the importance of empathy, cross-cultural dialogue, addressing trauma, and peaceful advocacy for change.
