WINGS #30-25 The Language of MA

Over the course of more than 40,000 years, there have been millions of statues representing female figures created - and found - around the world. Dutch scholar Annine van der Meer, founder of the Pan Sofia Institute, collected many of their images and unravelled what she and other scholars have determined was - and in places still is - a ritual connecting generations of mothers with their ancestors and clan mothers. She mocks the conclusions of archaeologists that these are sex symbols or mere portraits, and calls for them to consult with anthropologists such as Maria Gimbutas. References to images of body parts use only formal language.

Mike Africa Jr. - On a Move

This episode is “On A Move,” a talk by Mike Africa, Jr, given at Burning Books in Buffalo, NY on Oct. 22, 2025. Mike Africa Jr.’s 2024 book, “On a Move: Philadelphia's Notorious Bombing and a Native Son's Lifelong Battle for Justice”, is the story of MOVE, the revolutionary Black civil liberties group that Philadelphia police bombed in 1985, killing 11 civilians, including five children. Mike Africa Jr. was born into the organization, raised during the bombing's tumultuous aftermath, and later entrusted with repairing what was left of his family. Founded in 1972 by a charismatic ideologue named John Africa, MOVE's mission was to protect all forms of life from systemic oppression. MOVE members lived together in a collection of West Philadelphia row houses, and took the surname Africa out of admiration for the group's founder. But in MOVE's lifestyle, city officials saw threats to their status quo. Their bombing of MOVE homes shocked the nation and made international news. Mike Africa Jr., born in jail, was six years old and living with his grandmother when MOVE was bombed. In the ensuing years he sought purpose in the ashes left behind. In 2018, with the help of other MOVE members, he finally succeeded in getting his parents released from prison after they had spent 40 years behind bars. Burning Books is a radical bookstore in Buffalo, NY, specializing in activism, social justice, and liberation struggles.

TWIP-251102

Antisemitism has long been a real and dangerous form of hatred—but today, Zionist institutions increasingly weaponize the term to silence Palestinian advocacy and discredit righteous voices calling for justice. This introduction explores how that distortion works, and why it matters. Let’s begin with clarity. Antisemitism is real. It is a centuries-old hatred that has led to unspeakable violence, discrimination, and genocide—most horrifically in the Holocaust. It must be condemned wherever it appears. But today, a dangerous distortion is unfolding. Zionist institutions and pro-Israel lobby groups have increasingly weaponized the term antisemitism—not to protect Jewish communities from hate, but to shield the Israeli state from accountability. They’ve redefined criticism of Israel as antisemitism. They’ve blurred the line between opposing a government and hating a people. And in doing so, they’ve turned a legitimate concern into a political weapon. This tactic is not new. But it’s growing more aggressive. Palestinians—who are themselves Semites—are routinely accused of antisemitism for speaking about their own dispossession. Jewish scholars, journalists, and activists who oppose Zionism are smeared as traitors. Students are expelled. Professors are fired. Social media accounts are suspended. And entire movements are branded as “hate groups” for demanding basic human rights. According to Palestine Legal, nearly half of the suppression incidents they respond to each year involve false accusations of antisemitism. The goal is clear: silence dissent. Discredit resistance. Punish truth. And it’s not just happening in the U.S. In France, President Macron called anti-Zionism a “reinvented form of antisemitism.” In Canada and the UK, governments have adopted definitions that equate criticism of Israel with hate speech. In 2023, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution declaring that “anti-Zionism is antisemitism”. But here’s the truth: Zionism is a political ideology. It is not Judaism. It is not a religion. It is not a people. And opposing Zionism—especially in its violent, settler-colonial form—is not antisemitism. It is a moral stance. It is a defense of international law. It is a call for justice. When Palestinians speak of their stolen homes, their murdered children, their imprisoned elders—they are not expressing hate. They are expressing history. They are expressing grief. They are expressing truth. And when righteous people—of all backgrounds—stand with Palestine, they are not inciting violence. They are resisting it. So let’s be clear: The weaponization of antisemitism is not about protecting Jews. It’s about protecting power. It’s about silencing the oppressed. It’s about making sure that the crimes of the Israeli state go unchallenged. But the truth is louder than the smear. And the truth is rising. From Gaza to New York, from refugee camps to college campuses, from synagogues to mosques—people are speaking. People are resisting. People are refusing to be silenced. And that resistance? It’s not antisemitism. It’s conscience. It’s courage. It’s justice.

Gary Coy: "The Man Driving the Dog Team"

There is strong historical and anthropological evidence that dogs came across the Bering land bridge with people migrating from Siberia to Alaska. These dogs worked hard to maintain their keep; they werent pets. Instead, they chased and ran down polar bears and located seals hiding beneath the Bering ice. One of the early dog professionals in Alaska was Harry Karstens, who later became the first superintendent of Mount McKinley National Park. As a young man, he pioneered a dog sled route from Fairbanks to Valdez, and hauled mail to the Katishna mining district. Now, at Denali National Park in central Alaska, theres a breeding and training and leadership program for these sled dogs. I spoke with Gary Coy, the director of this remarkable kennel. In his office there is a large sign quoting Harry Karstens. It says: A man driving a dog team is the biggest dog himself. Amid the noise and the chatter of the dog kennels in Denali Park, I asked Gary to explain what that sign means and to tell us a little about this wonderful project. Gary Coy recommends A Dog-Puncher on the Yukon, by Arthur Walden. Originally Broadcast: August 28, 1996
