An Excellent Interview: Dr. Gabor Maté on Israel/Palestine

This is a deeply important interview with Gabor Maté made shortly after the October 7th attack in Israel by Hamas. At that time, he was reticent with describing the response by Israel upon the Palestinian people as genocide, which has since changed. What I appreciate here and see as vital is a combination of deep compassion for all human beings, a lifetime of transformation and wisdom, multiple trustworthy resources of information, and being Jewish coupled with his own trauma history as a Holocaust survivor. Truly illuminating to listen to this much larger picture from one of our most valued and respected Elders. Deepest bow of gratitude and respect. 🙏 Molly
