Ilan Pappe speaks at Harvard on Gaza and the logic of elimination
March 30, 2016, 6:32 p.m.
In this longer-than-usual edition, we hear Israeli new historian Ilan Pappeâs recent presentation delivered at Harvard University. Pappe teaches at Exeter University in the United Kingdom, is the author of several books, including the definitive The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine. He is a frequent lecturer throughout the world.
Pappe briefly reviews the painful history of Gaza. Before 1948, he explains, it was sparsely settled and beautiful. In 1948, Israel initiated the Nakba, driving most Palestinians out of their homes and stealing their property. Many were herded into Gaza, which became a prison camp. Israel coined the term "Gaza Strip" to show its contempt for the refugees, sealed it off, and more recently initiated its ongoing series of brutal bombings and slaughter there.
Pappe points out that uniquely in 2014, activists around the world were able to connect Israel's outrageous attacks on Gaza's population with events in Syria and Iraq, and give them the attention they deserve. He describes the need to first dehumanize the Palestinian population in preparation to apply what he calls "the logic of elimination," which Israel has adopted as its rationale for ethnic cleansing.
Pappe recognizes the USA as a settler colonial society, but its victims, the Native Americans, are fully contained. He calls Israel the last living, active settler colonial society in the world.

Edward Snowden and Glen Greenwald on Privacy and Surveillance
March 29, 2016, 6:58 p.m.
Edward Snowden, Glen Greenwald, and Noam Chomsky were exploring the urgent topic of privacy in todays surveillance state at the event entitled: "Conversation on Privacy".
NSA whistle-blower Edward Snowden was participating by video-stream from Russia. The excerpts in this program focus on him and Glen Greenwald. Greenwald is best known as having met with Edward Snowden on his way into exile in Hong Kong in 2013. He received the documents that Snowden had taken in order to prove the extraordinary depth of government spying that Snowden had observed while employed by the CIA and as contractor for the NSA.
Greenwald was a columnist for the British Guardian and is now founding editor of the Intercept and a frequent guest on CNN, MSNBC and Democracy Now.
This program deals with the resurgence of a Free Speech movement, constitutional rights in the age of surveillance, the right and even responsibility to alert the public about wrongdoing, the expansion of powers and privileges the government is claiming; and the point of view that rights to privacy exist to protect the minority against the majority.

Alexandria Sage on Self-Driving Vehicles
March 29, 2016, 2:47 p.m.
The glamour of the limousine is undeniable - who wouldn't want to be shuttled about town without a care in the world? Traffic, parking, sobriety? Somebody else's problem! With the introduction of the self-driving car, limo luxury could become pretty commonplace. As with many new technologies, though, self-driving cars bring up myriad sustainability, legal. and ethical questions. These questions notwithstanding, it appears that the self-driving car is coming, and coming soon: the Obama administration recently announced that the US government will be pledging to invest nearly $4 billion in autonomous driving technology over the next decade. Meanwhile, deep-pocketed companies like Google, Toyota, ber and General Motors have made their own investments into self-driving vehicles. This week on Sea Change Radio, we learn more about this emerging technology from Reuters Transportation Technology Correspondent, Alexandria Sage.
