Breaking the Siege: A Conversation with Thiago Ávila on Gaza and Global Activism
About this episode
A conversation with activist Thiago Ávila about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the global activism challenging the blockade.
In this episode, I sit down with activist and organizer Thiago Ávila for a deep conversation about Gaza, the ongoing humanitarian crisis, and the global movement challenging the blockade through flotillas and solidarity missions. We explore the political context behind the siege, the risks activists take to break it, and what international civil society can realistically do to support Palestinians on the ground. Thiago breaks down the history, the lived realities, and the broader struggle for justice - offering clarity, urgency, and a reminder that people-powered action still matters.
