Refaat Alareer Tribute

Tonight I’m paying tribute to the martyred Palestinian poet and educator Refaat Alareer. Two years ago, on December 6 2023, the forces of the Zionist occupation murdered Refaat in an attempt to steal his voice. As if a missile could silence a poet and erase his words. Two years on, that voice is as strong as ever. Immortal. I’ll be reading an article he wrote called “Narrating Palestine” and I’m also going to be performing some of his poems.

No One Expects the Southern Ocean

Scientists find a control knob for climate feedbacks in the Southern Ocean. Two experts with years of research and publications: Dr. Zach Kaufman at Scripps Institute in San Diego, and Professor Richard Williams, University of Liverpool. The Southern Ocean stores most heat and almost half the carbon we add to the atmosphere. We would be cooked without it.

TWIP-251214

This collection of words, testimonies, and scripts is not simply a broadcast—it is a record of truth. Today we traced the crimes of settlers in the West Bank, the genocide unfolding in Gaza, and the silence of governments that enable Israel’s destruction. We named Zionism for what it is: an ideology of erasure, a system of violence that has brought misery and insecurity to millions. We remembered the fallen children like Hind Rajab, doctors who healed under fire, journalists who carried the truth, activists who gave their lives, and allies aboard the Freedom Flotilla. We honored the voices of conscience across the globe, from students in American universities to Jewish thinkers who dismantled Zionist myths, to everyday workers who marched in solidarity. We spoke of resistance: resistance in olive trees, in sand, in memory, in testimony. Resistance in refusing silence, in exposing lies, in carrying forward the flame of justice. And we named the enablers—the Western powers whose weapons, money, and silence sustain apartheid. This is not polite avoidance. This is bold testimony. It is urgent truth‑telling. It is unapologetic solidarity. The struggle for Palestine is not confined to one land, one people, or one moment. It is shared. It is global. And it is sacred. Stay with us. This is This Week in Palestine. And this is where the silence ends.

Israel kills kids from Gaza to Tehran

On June 13th, 2024, Israel and the United States launched a 12-day war on Iran. Al-Jazeera’s Fault Lines series executive producer Laila Al-Arian joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to talk about their latest documentaries: Target Tehran about the human cost of Israel’s attacks on Iran, as well as The Disappearance of Dr. Abu Safiya, about the pediatrician in northern Gaza abducted by the IDF. They also discuss how Western media and politicians continue to minimize or ignore the ongoing genocide. On the Resistance Report, the Electronic Intifada’s Jon Elmer covers confrontations against the IDF’s Five Stones operation in the West Bank with locally manufactured Carlo pistols, grenades and IEDs as Israeli demolitions target the northern refugee camps of Jenin, Tulkarm and Nur Shams. And we hear about how daily life in Gaza means finding water, paying $10 for an onion at the market and getting together with the friends who remain.

Jerry DeWitt— "From Pentecostal to Atheist"- Part One

American Society,Interpretations,Religion,Self-Identity by LeGov The freedom to think and the freedom of religion are constitutional keystones and givens in the United States. However, when those freedoms lead a Pentecostal pastor to come out as an atheist, he is shunned by some and praised by others. Jerry DeWitt, whose ministry began when he was seventeen, is the author of “Hope After Faith: An Ex-Pastor’s Journey From Belief to Atheism.” He’s our guest in this two part conversation about his 25 year dialogue with faith, his early beliefs, his evolving skepticism and his embrace of free-thinking humanism. As it is for all of us, early life experiences are most often taken for granted and form the basis by which we compare subsequent experiences and develop new understandings. So when Jerry DeWitt and I visited by phone from western Florida on December 13, 2013, we began the first part of our conversation with a description of his early childhood. Jerry DeWitt’s website provides information about his book and links to the resources and topics discussed in our program. The books Jerry DeWitt recommends are those written by Joseph Campbell.

In the first half of the show, we discuss the Texas gerrymandering efforts and how the Supreme Court’s intervention has cleared the way to further disenfranchise minority voters in the state. We also discuss the implications for other states because of this outcome.
