TWIP-260426

Before you begin listening to today’s program, I want to return to a pattern we’ve been noticing in recent conversations. A pattern of contradictions delivered within the same breath. One moment we hear that the conflict is ending, and in the next, that it is escalating. One moment there are negotiations, and the next, threats of wiping someone off the map. One moment we are told the Strait of Hormuz is fully under control, and then the news reports the opposite. It feels as though we are running in circles, listening to a performance where the script changes every few minutes. And the most unsettling part is that all of these claims come from the same conversation. What is true? What is false? And why does the story shift so quickly? But here is the part that deserves real attention. Every time officials say “we are talking,” the stock market rises. Every time they say “we are going to strike,” the market drops. These swings move billions of dollars in minutes. And it raises a question many people are quietly asking: are there individuals who know what is coming before the rest of us hear it? Are there people who buy and sell based on the next sentence in a speech? Someone is getting richer. Maybe a few someones. Meanwhile, the rest of us feel the consequences in real time. At the gas pump. At the grocery store. In our insurance bills. In every corner of daily life. It is a game being played at a level we are not invited into, yet we are the ones paying the price. We are left outside the circle, drowning in debt while others ride the waves of every announcement. And there is another uncomfortable realization that grows clearer every day. Many people feel that the decisions shaping their lives are being made somewhere far beyond their reach. That policies shift not because of public need, but because of pressures we never see. Some listeners have even written to say they feel as though leadership is simply carrying out instructions handed down from elsewhere. If you agree, or if you see it differently, I want to hear from you. Send your thoughts to TWIPpodcasts@gmail.com and let us know what you think. Tonight, we step back from the noise and look at the patterns beneath it. This is This Week in Palestine. Let’s begin.

Iran’s solidarity with Palestine

Host Ali Abunimah speaks with Dr. Helyeh Doutaghi, an Iranian scholar of international law and political economy at the University of Tehran. She was expelled from Yale last year amid a broader government crackdown on Palestine solidarity. She offers a view of the war that sharply contradicts Western narratives – one defined not by internal division or collapse, but by solidarity, political clarity and a deepening sense of shared struggle across the region – above all with Palestine. Host Nora Barrows-Friedman brings us excerpts from two articles recently published by the Electronic Intifada. Tamara Nassar reports that Israel is establishing facts on the ground in the occupied West Bank faster than ever before in Israel’s largest land grab since the Nakba. Bombed, wounded, used as human shields and humiliated. Ohood Nassar writes that women recount abuse at hands of the Israeli military.

Sonic Café #481/ Fire, Ice and Attitude

Sonic Café—with the Foo Fighters, so hey welcome to our little coastal radio café! I’m Scott Clark, and this is episode 481. This time the Sonic Café brings the fire and the ice. Social Distortion cranks out a scorching take on Johnny Cash’s Ring of Fire, and Diana Ross turns the whole world Upside Down. You’ll also hear Paramore from 2022, plus a raw unplugged version of What It’s Like by Everlast, and a bizarre moment when the Allman Brothers nearly threw down with Johnny Rotten on late-night TV. Around the bottom of the hour, the Sonic Café time machine jumps back to 1953 for Little Willie John’s I’m Shakin’. And if you need laughs, we’ve got you covered—Kellen Erskine uncovers the Red Sox World Series secret, and Josh Johnson makes the case for why the chill Winter Olympics are just plain better than the Summer Games. Plus, a big Sonic Café welcome to our newest sponsor—Only Seniors, It’s like Only Fans... but ahh strictly for seniors. All that plus some other neat stuff thrown in along the way. So buckle up. It’s eclectic. It’s unexpected. And it’s fun. From 1973, let’s jump in with the New York Dolls—because that’s just the way we do it here at the Sonic Café.
