The Algorithm of Genocide: Healing as Resistance

“What people need to understand is that the trauma of the past two years — not only for the people of Gaza, but for the entire world — is unlike anything we’ve experienced in our lifetimes.” In this searing episode of The Tea with Myriam Francois, we speak with Ashira Darwish — a Palestinian trauma healer and a survivor of Israeli detention — about what this moment means for our collective nervous system, and how healing itself can be an act of resistance. In a world where social media algorithms are engineered to keep us numb to genocide — where images of amputated children are livestreamed between cat memes and bikini thirst traps — self-care becomes an act of political warfare. Ashira explains how liberation psychology begins with understanding where we come from — the lineages we carry, the traumas we inherit, and the ancestral keys we also hold for healing. Together, we unpack:

🚨 Israel’s torture system in detention 🚨 How algorithms turn genocide into background noise 🚨 Why our nervous systems go numb — by design 🚨 Somatic work: healing intergenerational trauma 🚨 What fuels Israeli society’s capacity for violence 🚨 Liberation psychotherapy: healing as resistance 🚨 Why Western media misreads Palestinian resistance

This episode is about remembering that both trauma and healing are inherited. It’s about choosing not to go numb.
