Daniel Lev - A Story of Chanukah
Oct. 3, 2019, 9:25 a.m.
Every year on the 25th day of the Hebrew month of Kislev, which falls four days before the new moon closest to the winter solstice, the eight day holiday of Chanukah, celebrated worldwide, begins. Before the days of radio and television a person called a magid traveled from town to town, visiting Jewish people and Jewish families. Daniel Lev is a modern day magid who sometimes visits Ukiah and Willits to teach and pass along Jewish tradition through stories, songs, and spiritual practice. This program was originally broadcast in December 1996, and joined these archives the day Daniel Lev became a rabbi in 2005.
Daniel Lev recommends the Torah.

Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 142 The Phone Call
Oct. 2, 2019, 8:34 p.m.
"Donald Drumpf Theatre" is an original radio theatre show about a fictional, theatrical presidency, with most sounds culled from the previous week. Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with an updated Dickie Goodman and/or Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. The network has currently ordered another 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to contribute to the show should contact info@wgxc.org.
We interview Khitam Edelbi on her expressive therapy program
Oct. 2, 2019, 7:25 p.m.
Today our Palestinian voice is that of Khitam Edelbi, who has been a frequent guest on This Week In Palestine as she returns from her home in East Jerusalem to Cambridge each summer to work on her PhD in Expressive Therapies at Lesley University. She has completed her course work and is now working on her thesis. We interview her face to face.
As Khitam has explained, her expressive therapy program is directed at the children in Palestine who are victimized on a daily basis by sadistic Israeli soldiers, checkpoints, house demolitions, and other forms of Israel's wall-to-wall racism, brutality, and dehumanization. Of course Khitam's expressive therapy program doesn't stop any of that. What it does do is give those children a sense of dignity, self-worth, and resilience. Indirectly, it could lead to an uprising strong enough to make Israelis accountable for their outrageous criminal behavior.

Helen Caldicott and Michael Madsen: Into Eternity ONE of TWO
Oct. 1, 2019, 8:28 p.m.
This is a conversation between Helen Caldicott and Michael Madsen whose film, Into Eternity, premiered in the US in February 2011. Into Eternity is a documentary about the building of the world's first permanent repository for nuclear waste in Finland. It shows not only the construction under way that will take 140 years, but introduces the people involved, the scientists, regulators and corporate executives who oversee this project. None of them will be alive when Onkalo, as the repository is called, will be finished in 2120; and they must expect this repository to remain intact and untouched by future humans for at least 100,000 years. Such is the danger and longevity of waste from nuclear power plants.
Helen called Madsen "One of the more extraordinary people I've ever interviewed". This is a thought provoking exchange between the veteran campaigner, Helen Caldicott, who dedicated her life to alerting us to the nuclear danger, and the young Danish artist. He introduces thoughts about civilization, language, danger and eternity.
In their conversation they say they question how anybody can even contemplate a human made repository that will last 100,000 years and possibly continue without human maintenance. Does this means that the builders do not expect for civilization to last? Or do we have to create an archive of knowledge about the danger of radiation that needs to be maintained? And who maintains that archive?
As mind-bending such a project as Onkalo is, we need several hundred more repositories like Onkalo since most of the waste of the worldâs nuclear power plants is sitting next to these plants in the open. Is it fair to future generations to impose such a burden on them?

UMass "Not Backing Down" Forum's Panel Discussion (3rd and final part)
Sept. 30, 2019, 7:05 p.m.
On May 4th of this year, an important event took place at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. It was a forum called ânot backing downâ and dealt with the constant assault by pro Israeli organizations to shut down pro Palestinian voices. Ironically, which in fact made the point, there were serious attempts to prohibit this very forum from taking place by the Zionist lobby, including an unsuccessful lawsuitâ¦which emphasized the need for this forum to challenge this systematic campaign to silence the Palestinian narrative.
Today we feature voices from the UMass forum, the third of our presentations of the event on This Week In Palestine. You will hear moderator Vijay Prashad, Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour, Temple University Prof. Marc Lamont Hill, and Pink Floydâs Roger Waters in a panel discussion which followed the speakersâ presentations. You will hear that there were audience interruptions by pro-Israeli hecklers. We have edited out some interruptions, but have left others so that you can hear how the panelists dealt with this obstructionist behavior. So here is the Panel discussion of the UMass Forum, âNot Backing Downâ.
