Ilan Pappé speaks in Australia on "The Forgotten Palestinians"

Speaking in Sydney, Australia, Pappé lays out some of the sordid history of Israel's claim to be a "democracy" while simultaneously building and enforcing a racist apartheid structure. "The Forgotten Palestinians" are Palestinians who managed to remain within Israel's official borders in the course of the Nakba. They became Israeli citizens. But essentially they enjoy no rights and are confronted by a deeply prejudicial system of laws and treatment. The most effective way to challenge the distortions, myths and outright lies of the Israeli narrative which drives American Policy is to present the historical, documented facts which we describe as the Palestinian narrative. This Week In Palestine systematically tries to present that narrative each week, well researched, well documented history, and the analysis and opinion which flows from that history. And no one is more reliable in the presentation of that narrative than New Historian, Ilan Pappé. That is why we feature him so often on this program, and why we do so again this week. So our extended feature presentation is Professor Ilan Pappé speaking in Sydney, Australia, where the Jewish Lobby was unsuccessful in its attempts to prevent this lecture from occurring.

CTU President Karen Lewis on Dr. Martin Luther King

Invited to give the keynote on "Social Justice" at the annual Martin Luther King Day event she spoke about the two Kings. The mythical man created after his death by the State and Madison Avenue and the real human being who, as an activist leader challenged the centers of Militarism, Racism and Capitalism that he identified as the roots of oppression and injustice; and was then vilified by his Government whom she reminds us, likely had a hand in his murder. She demystifies Martin Luther King and explains the importance of his being understood as a regular, even flawed human being, who when called by the circumstances to fight against injustice did so. Lively talk about her own fight with Chicago's Mayor and the State's Governor both of whom represent the 1% who are desperate to destroy Public Education and the radical teachers union that the CTU has become under the leadership of CORE (the Caucus of Rank and File Educators) and Karen Lewis, in order to push forward their neoliberal program of leeching off public resources in a time of falling profits. Karen Lewis is featured in the recent book on Twenty-First-Century Social Movements and the Activists That Are Transforming Our World, "When We Fight We Win" by Greg Jobin-Leeds and AgitArte. Chicago public school teachers and parents have shown solidarity and a willingness to take to the streets when necessary to interrupt the only thing that the 1% care about -Capital flows- in order to defend the needs of the students and the dignity of the teachers who educate them.

Inside Outside Alliance on deaths in Durham County Jail, NC & medical neglect

This week we feature a conversation with Steve, a member of the Inside Outside Alliance, a group in Durham working to amplify the voices of prisoners, foster better connections with their family and loved ones on the outside and raise awareness (in the words of the prisoners and their families) of problems in the Durham County Jail with an eye towards holding the Sheriff's Dept & local government accountable. More on this project at http://amplifyvoices.com. This week we speak about the un-reported deaths in jail of Matthew McCain (January 2016), Dennis McMurray (January 2015) and briefly about the death of Raphael Marquis Bennett (August 2015). There is also a conversation on medical neglect (in Matthew's case, he claimed he was not getting proper treatment for his diabetes and epilepsy). Also mentioned is the work going on around different parts of North Carolina to get communities aroused against the recent snatching up with intent to deport latino youth by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during it's recent spate of raids against folks accused of entering the U.S. from Central America in the past few years. These include: A student on his way to school in Durham, named <a href="http://raleigh.quepasanoticias.com/noticias/ciudad/local/ice-arresta-a-adolescente-hondureno-cuando-se-dirigia-a-la-escuela-en-durham">Wildin David Guillén Acosta</a>; <a href="http://wncn.com/2016/02/13/vigil-planned-for-2-wake-county-teens-detained-by-immigration-officials/">Edwin Alvarez-Gálvez of Raleigh & Santos Padilla-Guzman of Cary</a> are 3 of the so-called NC 6. <a href="http://abc11.com/news/deportation-fears-keep-some-durham-students-at-home/1198522/">Here's an article</a> students in Durham avoiding school for fear of ICE and words from teachers and admins at the schools expressing how dangerous they feel it is for the community. One organization on facebook working to keep folks informed on the raids can be found <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Alerta-Migratoria-NC-1105654329444645/?fref=photo">here</a>. ------------------------------- This is an update from our frieds at No New Animal Lab: From their website http://nonewanimallab.com On January 29th, No New Animal Lab, with representation from the Civil Liberties Defense Center, filed an anti-SLAPP Special Motion to Strike against injunctions filed on behalf of two executives of Skanska USA. Skanska and its key decision makers have been the subject of a year-long protest campaign, organized under the banner of No New Animal Lab, for their $90 million contract to build a large, underground animal research lab for the University of Washington (UW). Skanska executives at the corporation's Portland office filed for injunctions against four activists and “No New Animal Lab” in an attempt to stifle the growing national protests. Such lawsuits are known as "SLAPPs" (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) and are often used by corporations against protest movements in an attempt to chill dissent and disrupt campaign organizing. Rather than outright criminalizing protest activity, corporations attempt to exploit the legal system, dragging grassroots activists through frivolous civil court proceedings and draining and redirecting both time and material resources. SLAPPs exist to shrewdly muzzle movements that seek to hold corporations and their executives accountable and are backdoor attempts to legislate unreasonable restrictions upon speech and assembly. “The campaign against Skanska is about challenging power--the power to callously decide the fate of thousands; the power to construct lives of suffering, captivity, and pain; and the power to evade accountability through the impersonal structure of corporations,” said a spokesperson for No New Animal Lab. “When you challenge power, you get a response. These SLAPP injunctions are just that--a response from Skanska, one of the largest corporations of its kind. The No New Animal Lab campaign interprets these lawsuits as a measure of its effectiveness.” The No New Animal Lab campaign has grown substantially in the last year, and the pressure against Skanska is at an all-time high. In mid-January, hundreds of people from all over the country converged in New York to protest the company’s U.S. headquarters and CEO and President Richard Cavallaro, and Skanska’s largest U.S. investor, the Vanguard Group. One way you can help right now is to make a DONATION to the campaign. Every penny goes directly to grassroots organizing and helping with legal costs. Support means everything in moments like these. To donate to this cause, and to learn more about this campaign, you can go to the website http://nonewanimallab.com and click on the red Donate tab on their page. To hear the interview that we conducted with members of this campaign, you can visit http://thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org and search "no new animal lab". ---------------------------------------------- We finish up the show with three musical tracks from CrustWithSprings.blogspot.de and R-A-B-M.blogspot.com: First we'll hear a very new band called Baeden from Sydney Austrailia with track one off their 2015 demo entitled "iphone versus crusty slice" Second is track one from Gudsforladt, which is a one person project from salem, mass. the track is off their 2016 self titled release.

Black History Month: W.E.B. Du Bois

Back in the USSR continues to celebrate Black History Month by paying tribute to one of the greatest African American heroes of all time, W.E.B. Du Bois. This man was a pioneer of the civil rights struggle in America, a pioneer of the Pan-African movement against colonialism, and an uncompromising supporter of socialism and international solidarity among working class people and colonized peoples worldwide against capitalism and imperialism. He was politically active for more than six decades and was still speaking and drawing crowds even in the early 1960s when he was in his nineties. The number of people that this man inspired all throughout the course of a life of courageous struggle and brave example is uncountable.
