In this episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,’ Mehdi Hasan speaks with Israeli human rights lawyer Sari Bashi as she unpacks her marriage with Palestinian husband Osama Fahed in the occupied West Bank. Bashi and Fahed co-authored ‘Upside Down Love' — a joint memoir on living under occupation and the apartheid system they have to endure in their marriage.
In the conversation, Hasan and Bashi discuss living as non-settler Israeli in the occupied West Bank, a one-state solution and why other Israelis don’t see Palestinians in the same light as Bashi. She also discuss raising her daughter under these circumstances.
