Those of us who follow the Israeli/Palestinian conflict are well aware of the heavy handed, pro-Israeli role that the United States plays in protecting Israelâs interests. Yet they also hold themselves out as being honest brokers in trying to find solutions in what they characterize as a peace process.
For our feature presentation today, you are about to hear former US Ambassador to Israel and self-styled "negotiator," Martin Indyk, trying, with a straight face, to defend the role the US is playing. He is countered by a bright moderator and some Palestinian voices that challenge his absurd, indefensible positions. You are about to hear Indyck on Al Jazeeraâs program "Head to Head" with moderator Mehdi Hasan, and also featuring a panel with Palestinian author and activist Ghardi Karma and others who will be introduced.

Phil Giraldi on Israel's $38 Billion Scam
Sept. 28, 2016, 1:12 p.m.
Blankfort and Giraldi discuss his article in Unz Review, âIsrael's $38 Billion Scamâ (9/27) in which Giraldi points out that while in other deals with foreign countries, the US actually gets something in return not when it deals with Israel, noting Israel's new defense weaponry like Iron Dome are useless to the US, that unlike Arab countries, Israel offers US no bases and doesn't fight in its wars. He notes that the amount of aid Israel receives without debate proves Congress is completely under control of AIPAC. Senators like Lindsay Graham who want to give Israel even more money and restore the quarter of the funding that used to go to Israel's arms industryânow a competitor with the US--removed by Obama are saying that giving jobs to Israelis takes priority over jobs for Americans.
Giraldi also points out as he does in article, that groups like Jewish Voice for Peace, Code Pink and US Campaign to End Israeli Occupation that are ostensibly in support of Palestinians are missing in action when it comes to opposing US aid to Israel. He thinks nothing will change in the Israel-US relationship for the Palestinians no matter who wins the presidency but says Trump is far less likely to start war with Russia than Clinton, the neocons' standard bearer.

Fossil fuel emissions caused the melting of Arctic sea ice. Now the Arctic in turn is accelerating global warming instead of cooling the planet because the disappearance or thinning of the ice sheet in the Arctic summer has many serious consequences.
This ice sheet covered the top of the world and touched the coast lines of Greenland, Canada, Alaska and Siberia for 100.000 years. In only 30 years the retreat from the coast lines during the Arctic summer accelerated and an ice free Arctic in September may occur by 2020. And the Arctic winter is no longer cold enough to restore ice levels.
In this extraordinary comprehensive lecture that Prof. Wadhams gave in Milano, Italy, in May 2025, he lists seven major areas in which the Arctic influences climate change. In the previous program by TUC Radio Wadhams explained the consequences of the shrinking and thinning sea ice.
In this program (Part TWO) Wadhams explains the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, the loss of snow, the multi-national study on the recent discovery of methane releases from permafrost and shallow water, the link between sea ice loss and extreme weather events, and the deflections of two great global air and water currents, the Jet stream and the thermo-haline circulation.
Prof. Peter Wadhams is the UK's most experienced sea ice scientist and was Director of the Scott Polar Institute in Cambridge from 1987 to 1992 and Professor of Ocean Physics at Cambridge from 1992 to 2015. He has made more than 50 expeditions to both polar regions. His most recent book is A Farewell to Ice.
White Helmet propaganda fooling Code Pink and NDP
Sept. 27, 2016, 8:33 p.m.
The White Helmets are on record for a no-fly zone, for foreign intervention, regime change, and demonization of Russia.
They are not on record supporting ceasefires or condemnation of terrorist groups fighting the Syrian government. They get US-UK dollars and fawning treatment in western media.
Now they need the Nobel Prize as a platform to bull-horn for attacks on Syria. Rick Sterling shows them up for what they are and urges people of conscience to oppose moves to give them a peace prize.
Carolyn Lochhead on the Politics of Water
Sept. 27, 2016, 5:50 p.m.
An issue that didn't come up in Monday's presidential debate, and unfortunately may not show up in subsequent debates either, is, "What are the candidates' water policies?" It is one of the most vital issues for all Americans, and for the globe, and yet it is almost never mentioned on the national political debate stage. But if you look for them, you'll find that each of the two major party candidates for president do have positions on water -- well, one has actual proposals, and the other one has a set of ill-conceived opinions that could theoretically inform policy. This week on Sea Change Radio, we hear from the Washington correspondent for the San Francisco Chronicle, Carolyn Lochhead, to compare Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton on water. We will discuss the preposterous supposition advanced by one candidate that the California drought is just a figment of our collective imaginations ginned up by liberals, the idea that it is wasteful to allow rivers to flow to the sea, and Clinton's vision for collaborate stewardship. Stay tuned as we dive deep into the politics of water.

Los Angeles Coach, Years Before Kaepernick, Set an Example of Courage
Sept. 27, 2016, 3:40 p.m.
In 1985 Hardy Williams, a coach at Los Angeles High School, made it a point to turn his back when the national anthem was played. He was exercising his constitutional right to express opposition to a âfreeâ system that practices systematic discrimination against black Americans, people of color, and the poor. His Principal removed him as coach and Williams sued.
Eventually the school had to settle and Williams won damages. And to this day Williams remains defiant on the matter; he sees Kaepernick as a brave man who has âpicked up the torch.â
