Yesterday, Palestinians located the bodies of 15 aid workers in a mass grave in Gaza. One week after two ambulances were directly shot at by the Israeli military, the bodies of these Red Crescent workers were finally found handcuffed and crushed under their ambulances, concealed in a mass grave.

This podcast is incredible. I’ve binged it in a day. It’s an astonishingly personal & brave story, but with wide-ranging, far-reaching implications; the digital era has given stalkers more weapons, misogyny is rampant, and online abuse causes real-life harm. A hard but important listen.
