Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack Abubaker Abed is a sports journalist in Gaza but since October last year he had to change his scope to cover an ongoing genocide by Israel in the Gaza Strip. He opens up to PalCast hosts about the trials and tribulations of existing in Gaza today. He says, despite the unbearable atrocities has he seen, he has not lost hope because he insists on being a human every day. In fact he demands that we all do. Abubaker calls on people all over the world to speak up to end the genocide in Gaza and call out their complicit governments. What we have seen is beyond a genocide, he repeats. As he speaks, gunshots and noise are heard in the background from Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital where Palestinians were burnt alive by an Israeli airstrike last week.

Darren has been spending time with some bad influences and it's having a knock on effect on the podcast as he brings a new, tough attitude to the studio and a refusal to accept any and all criticism.There's some rejection of very good advice and severe butchering of motivational quotes.And Joe accepts a listener's challenge and formally announces he will run the Dublin Marathon, but will not be adhering to conventions around things like registering or paying to run on what he sees as his streets.
