“We’re all part of one family and one nation, which is the planet. The human condition is our family.” – Eddy Khawaja

This is a special episode of Real Talk. As a Palestinian-American, I’ve been experiencing my own struggle with the pain, suffering, and horror happening in my family’s ancestral homeland. It’s been hard to go on with the day-to-day, knowing that children and civilians are being killed and terrorized as we look on. Many people are losing hope and faith. I turned to a fellow advocate for humanity. 

I spoke with Eddy Khawaja, who was born and raised in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and has since lived all over the world. With a background in forensic chemistry and criminal justice, Eddy has worked for the United States Department of Homeland Security and is now a Chief Security Officer for an international aid organization in the Western Sahara.
