Inspiration for the Nation is the weekly Jewish podcast from Living Lchaim, hosted by Yaakov Langer.
This is our first guest from...Gaza. Meet Lama Dalloul. Lama is a Palestinian woman who lived under Hamas rule and chose to speak out after October 7. She shares what daily life in Gaza was really like, why many Gazans are afraid to criticize Hamas, and what happened after she posted her views on TikTok.
She explains the threats she received, the risk of speaking openly, and why she rejects antisemitism and refuses to blame Jewish civilians for the war. She also discusses escaping Gaza, the financial and emotional cost of leaving, and how the conflict impacted her faith, family, and future.
