Podcast Ep 31: Israel’s vaccine apartheid with Osama Tannous and Ghada Karmi

On episode 31 of The Electronic Intifada Podcast, Nora and Asa discuss Israel’s vaccine apartheid and are joined by physicians and writers Dr. Ghada Karmi and Dr. Osama Tanous. It was recently reported that Israel is giving thousands of “spare” vaccines to foreign countries in exchange for political support, while denying vaccines to 5 million Palestinians under its military rule in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. Israel is failing in its obligations under international law as an occupying power by not offering the vaccine to the Palestinians of occupied territory. Karmi and Tanous explain how occupation and settler-colonialism impact not just COVID-19 outcomes for Palestinians but public health in Palestine overall.
