As Palestinians Mark 60th Anniversary of Their Dispossession, a Conversation With Palestinian Writer and Doctor Ghada Karmi

Tomorrow, a discussion with Israeli historian Benny Morris. Today, I talk to Palestinian writer and doctor Ghada Karmi, one of the hundreds of thousands forced to flee in 1948. Ghada Karmi is a well known Palestinian writer and medical doctor from Jerusalem who lives in Britain. She is currently a research fellow at the Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies at the University of Exeter. She has written several books about Palestinian history and her own experience including “In Search of Fatima: A Palestinian Story” and most recently, “Married to Another Man: Israel”s Dilemma in Palestine."

I began the interview by asking Ghada Karmi what happened to her family in 1948.
