    Cognitive Genocide in Gaza

    We present the first episode of a new podcast series entitled “Palestinian Jalsa” about cognitive genocide in Gaza. In this important episode with Dr. Abaher Asakka, researcher and professor at Birzeit University, and hosted by Dr. Abdalhadi Ijla, a Palestinian sociologist and political scientist, we shed light on the impact of the Israeli war on the education sector in Gaza, and the huge challenges facing universities, schools, and researchers. The repeated aggression has destroyed 6 universities, affected more than 100,000 students, and damaged more than 130 schools. With the ongoing blockade, researchers’ access to academic resources has become almost impossible, threatening the future of an entire generation of academics.
