US, Israel escalate hybrid war on Iran

In cities across Iran, millions of people have marched in support of their government and to protest violence that foreign intelligence agencies have been instigating in the latest Western push for regime change. Dr. Mohammad Marandi joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to discuss these developments. He's a professor of comparative literature at the University of Tehran and a renowned geopolitical analyst. On the Resistance Report with Jon Elmer, the Qassam Brigades officially release the names of fallen soldiers for the first time. The squad leader, Al-Baraa Abu Hatab of the Western Battalion of the Khan Yunis Brigade, is revealed as the fighter behind several iconic combat videos. And Ali Abunimah tells us why 180 speakers, 6 of 7 board members, and the festival director withdrew or resigned from the annual Adelaide writers' week in Australia, resulting in this year’s event being cancelled.

Sonic Café #467/The Era of the Midnight Special

Sonic Café, welcome to the era of the Midnight Special, a time when vinyl records were the thing, and thirty-three and a third album was king. I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 467. The Midnight Special aired from 1972 to 1981 featuring live bands of the era in a 90-minute late night format. This time the Sonic Café presents a thin slice of that time, every song in this mix was released between 1969 and 76. Tune in your radio during then and you might have heard one of these songs for the very first time. Listen for the Rolling Stones, J. Geils Band, Doobie Brothers, Led Zeppelin, John Lennon, Rod Stewart and the Faces, of course many more. Presented with the vinyl crackle everyone heard when the needle hit the record. Very cool. Oh, and there’s more, comedian Nate Bargatze is here to inform us that Reading is the Key to Being Smart, also Shane Gillis let’s us know that becoming republican, is a thing that grows on you, and finally the Sonic Café presents a list of seventies artists who hit the top 40 just once. So join us as we present Album Rock of the Seventies. From 1974, this is Ace, and from way out here in the Pacific Northwest, we’re the Sonic Café.

Rodolfo Gomez – “A Walk in the Costa Rican Rain Forest”

On the eastern slope of the Continental Divide, about an hour’s drive east of San Jose, Costa Rica, is the Rain Forest Aerial Tram, a tramway that travels through, above and below the rain forest canopy. The rain forest canopy is home to more diverse forms of flora and fauna than anywhere else in the known universe. Rodolfo Gomez, trained as an architect, has found his calling as a tour guide in Central America and specifically Costa Rica. My daughter Molly and I met with Rodolfo in the rain forest, near the aerial tram and recorded this program in April of 1995. Originally Broadcast: June 20, 1995

The Bus Came By And I Got On: Bob Weir Tribute

The environmental and counterculture movements of the 60s have been inextricably linked since day one. The hippies decried war on materialism while promoting love, kindness and care for the planet. And one of through-lines of this movement was music. This week on Sea Change Radio, we take some time to remember the life of the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir, who recently died at the age of 78. For many of us, across several generations, the Grateful Dead has been more than a band - it's a movement that's all about expanding your community and your mind. We dig into the archives to hear from Weir's longtime bandmate, Bill Kreutzmann, and listen to excerpts of two interviews we did with Bobby's late songwriting partner, John Perry Barlow.

Demolishing American Imperial Propaganda on Venezuela

I want to take the opportunity to counter the deluge of lies being spread about Venezuela by the loyal scribes of the American Empire. The agents of empire are a tricky bunch, right now they're even trying to put the Shah back into power in Iran, but we're going to set the record straight. Venezuela is an independent, sovereign socialist republic and continues to defy the empire's attempts at theft and intimidation.

TWIP-260111

In today’s political climate, few terms are thrown around with as much force, and as much confusion, as antisemitism and anti-Zionism. They are often spoken in the same breath, treated as interchangeable, or used to shut down conversations before they even begin. But these two concepts are not the same, and understanding the difference between them is essential for anyone who cares about truth, justice, and honest public discourse. Antisemitism is a form of hatred. It is prejudice, discrimination, or hostility directed at Jewish people because they are Jewish. It has a long, painful history, one marked by violence, exclusion, scapegoating, and genocide. Antisemitism is real, dangerous, and must be confronted wherever it appears. It targets people for their identity, their culture, their faith, and their existence. It is a moral wrong with no justification. Anti Zionism, on the other hand, is a political position. It is a critique, or rejection, of the political ideology that supports the establishment and maintenance of a Jewish nation state in historic Palestine. Anti Zionism challenges state policies, systems of governance, and the consequences of those policies for Palestinians. It is not about religion. It is not about ethnicity. It is not about Jewish identity. It is about power, land, displacement, and the political structures that shape life and death in the region. The confusion between these two terms is not accidental. In many political spaces, the line between antisemitism and anti Zionism has been deliberately blurred. Some institutions and advocacy groups argue that criticizing Zionism or even criticizing the Israeli government is inherently antisemitic. This framing collapses a complex political ideology into a single identity, making it nearly impossible to discuss human rights violations, occupation, or the lived experiences of Palestinians without being accused of bigotry. But conflating these terms does more than distort the conversation, it harms everyone involved. It weakens the fight against real antisemitism by stretching the definition so far that it loses meaning. It silences Palestinians and their allies by labeling their calls for justice as hate speech. And it prevents honest, necessary debate about policies that have shaped decades of conflict, displacement, and suffering. To be clear: Opposing antisemitism is a moral obligation. Critiquing Zionism is a political stance. These two things can coexist. They often do. Many Jewish scholars, activists, and communities around the world are themselves anti Zionist, rooted in ethical, religious, or historical reasons. Their voices remind us that Jewish identity is not monolithic, and that dissent is not betrayal. Likewise, many people who critique Zionism do so out of a commitment to universal human rights, not out of hatred for any group. Understanding the difference between antisemitism and anti Zionism is not just an academic exercise, it is a step toward clearer dialogue, deeper empathy, and a more honest reckoning with the realities of the present moment. It allows us to confront genuine hatred without silencing legitimate political critique. It allows us to defend Jewish communities from bigotry while also defending Palestinian communities from injustice. And it allows us to speak truthfully about power without fear of being misunderstood, or deliberately misrepresented. This conversation matters. Because clarity matters. Because justice matters. Because words shape the world we live in. Welcome to This Week in Palestine.
