Gideon Levy speaks, and an outrageous ruling by the Massachusetts Ethics Commission
May 17, 2016, 6:36 p.m.
Today we feature the courageous, indefatigable, Israeli journalist, Gideon Levy, who personifies the term speaking truth to power. Gideon Levy writes for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, and is frequent speaker sounding the Palestinian narrative not only in the heart of Israel, but throughout the world. We feature him on This Week In Palestine whenever we can. This excellent presentation was given at Brandeis University.
Before that, our host reports on a ruling by the Massachusetts Ethics Commission that makes one wonder where one ever might find an honest politician. The context is the recent acceptance by nine state Senators of luxury junkets to Israel worth over $4000 apiece, while at the very same time the Senate had anti-BDS bills pending before it. The trips were organized and paid for by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Boston (JCRC). Needless to say, JCRC did not include a visit to Occupied Palestine in this junket.
On its face, the Conflict of Interest Law bars legislators from taking gifts like this from partisans. Accordingly, an ethics complaint was filed by Massachusetts Peace Action.
The Ethics Commission summarily dismissed the complaint, claiming that no action was necessary because the Senators had filed the required paperwork, which "included their determination that the travel served a legitimate public purpose." In other words, the JCRC trip didn't violate the Conflict Of Interest Law because the Senators said it didn't.
Companies Corroding Communities
May 17, 2016, 4:37 p.m.
According to the Supreme Court, corporations are people. The absurdity of this statement notwithstanding, it is clear that, like people, corporations make mistakes, and sometimes commit crimes and atrocities. This week on Sea Change Radio we talk with two experts about the impact that two energy corporations have had on actual people. First, host Alex Wise speaks with Inside Climate News reporter Neela Banerjee about the stark contrast between what happened at Aliso Canyon and what happened near Mobile, Alabama when gas and chemical spills contaminated the communities there. The same company, Sempra Energy, was involved, and yet the response and aftermath were vastly different, with race and class factoring significantly into environmental justice outcomes. Then we hear from John Wilson, Head of Corporate Governance at Cornerstone Capital Group about the death of former Chesapeake Energy CEO Aubrey McClendon. Facing widespread accusations that he cheated landowners out of the money they were promised in exchange for letting Chesapeake Energy drill for natural gas on their property, Chesapeakeâs founder died in mysterious fashion. Wilson gives us his environmental, social, and corporate governance perspective on the corruption allegations and the demise of the man Forbes Magazine once called âthe worldâs most reckless billionaire.â

Palestine is Still the Issue (TWO of TWO) by dissident Israeli Historian Prof. Ilan Pappe
May 17, 2016, 1:48 p.m.
NOTE:
Since tempers can flare on any issue critical of Israel you may want to precede this program with a disclaimer that the opinions offered here a that of the speaker and do not necessarily reflect those of the station, it's staff or board of directors.
I do hope that you will play this important program but also want to be sure that you know that you may draw criticism. Maria Gilardin
INFO ON THE PROGRAM:
Prof. Ilan Pappe is the best known member of Israel's generation of "new historians" who have been rewriting the history of Israel's founding in 1948. Pappe's seminal book, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, was published in 2006 while he was teaching at Haifa University. The publication led to personal attacks on him in the Israeli Knesset and in Israel's academia. Pappe left Israel in 2008 for the University of Exeter in Britain. There he is currently the director of the university's European Center for Palestine Studies.
In Part ONE Pappe introduced the term Settler Colonialism. As opposed to Colonialism where land is occupied and resources extracted but in the end the colonizers go back home, in the new era of Settler Colonialism the settlers come with a one way ticket and make the occupied land their home.
Pappe said that it is very important to talk about Settler Colonialism in the US. Many of the new settlers escaped from Europe because they were persecuted. These formerly persecuted groups often became oppressors in turn. And in Israel, where Ilan Pappe was born in 1954, the formerly persecuted Jews are now the oppressors of Palestinians. And, in a huge historic irony, the old Settler Colonialist state of North America protects the new Settler Colonialist State of Israel from being held responsible for human rights violations against Palestinians.
Ilan Pappe described five issues that need to be addressed in order to bring about peace between Palestinians and Israelis. Among them Anti-semitism and Islamophobia. In part TWO he brings up social justice and human rights and says that around the world Palestine is becoming the symbol of injustice. Not because the Palestine issue is the worst, there are worse rogue states than Israel - says Pappe. Sympathy for Palestinians is nourished not only by the cruelty of the Israeli occupier but the pretense that what we see is justified, a moral policy, done for defense and worthy of ever growing financial and military support from the US.
He says that a mass movement of young people is just beginning to emerge, partly focused around the campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn in the UK. The youth reject any cynical system of politics with no moral backbone or set of values, be it domestic or in foreign policy.
Pappe concludes that Palestine is still the issue because we urgently need a conversation about civil and human rights in all of the Middle East, including Syria and Iraq. If you want to talk about human rights in Yemen or Libya, start in Palestine.
He says that we need to find out how to protect the civil and human rights of both Palestinians and settlers within a new One State solution. And to fulfill the wish to create a normal, democratic, human life for everyone who lives between the Jordan and the Mediterranean - and everyone who was expelled and wishes to come back home.
