Palestine is Still the Issue (ONE of TWO) by dissident Israeli Historian Prof. Ilan Pappé

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 are 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 Pappé is the best known member of Israel's generation of "new historians" who have been rewriting the history of Israel's founding in 1948. Thanks to the declassification of British and Israeli documents in the 1980s Pappé has dedicated himself to exposing the truths behind the long established myths around what Israel calls its war of independence in 1948. That war led to the ethnic cleansing of three quarters of a million Palestinians and the destruction of over 500 of their villages in what is now Israel. 

 That's described in Pappé's seminal book, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, published in 2006 while he was chair of the Institute for Palestinian and Israeli Studies at Haifa University. The publication led to personal attacks on him in the Israeli Knesset and in Israel's academia. After threats on his person, Pappé left Israel in 2008 and was welcomed at the University of Exeter in Britain. There he is currently the director of the university's European Center for Palestine Studies. 

 Pappé says that reconciliation between Palestinians and Israelis in a future peace process must be based on an investigation of war crimes committed by Israel in 1948. Pappé supports the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement for an economic and political boycott of Israel. He believes boycotts are justified because quote: "they can move us forward along the only remaining viable and non-violent road to saving both Palestinians and Israelis from an impending catastrophe." At the time of partition, the Jewish population owned less than 6% of Palestine. When Israel declared its "independence," in 1948 it came into existence on 78 percent of historic Palestine, a percentage it has steadily increased in subsequent years, a process that continues today. Today 40% of the Palestinian West Bank is off-limits to Palestinians. This May 2016 speech by Ilan Pappé explains his positions including his remedy. Since Israel has already annexed almost all of Palestine, there is no longer an option for a two state solution. Pappé says the solution is One State for all its inhabitants and he lays out some of the basics. 

Ilan Pappé spoke on May 2, 2016, at the First Congregational Church in Berkeley, CA. He was the keynote speaker at the anniversary celebration of the Middle East Children's Alliance, MECA, a nonprofit humanitarian aid organization based in Berkeley, CA. Since 1988 MECA has provided more that $21 million in food, medicine, medical supplies, and clothes, as well as books, toys and school supplies to children and families in Palestine, Iraq and Lebanon.

Geophysicist Ole Kaven on Man-Made Earthquakes

Apparently things are moving and shaking in Oklahoma, literally. In the past 8 years earthquakes in the Sooner State have increased from 2 a year to 2 a day. Is the expansion of gas and oil exploration during that same period of time a mere coincidence? This week on Sea Change Radio, we hear from Ole Kaven, a geophysicist with the US Geological Survey. Kaven s area of expertise is human-induced seismicity, in other words, how human activity contributes to earthquakes. He talks about the work he has been doing studying the effects of carbon sequestration on seismic events, the sharp increase in Oklahoma s seismicity, and what the government and the public should know about how oil and gas industry practices could be making the earth move under our feet.

The Campaign to Fight Toxic Prisons (or FTP!) and an interview with Ben Turk about the recent prisoner strikes

This week on the show we feature an interview with Panagioti, who is an organizer with the Campaign to Fight Toxic Prisons. From their website: "The Campaign to Fight Toxic Prisons (FTP) is a collaboration with the Abolitionist Law Center. FTP’s mission is to conduct grassroots organizing, advocacy and direct action to challenge the prison system which is putting prisoners at risk of dangerous environmental conditions, as well as impacting surrounding communities and ecosystems by their construction and operation. At this time, FTP is focused on opposing the construction of a new federal prison in Letcher County, Kentucky. FTP is inspired by the abolitionist movement against mass incarceration and the environmental justice movement, which have both been led by the communities of color who are hardest hit by prisons and pollution.Both these movements also have long histories of multi-racial alliances among those on the front lines of the struggle and those who can offer support and solidarity, which we aim to build on. FTP has been informed by the ongoing research and analysis of the Human Rights Defense Center’s Prison Ecology Project, as well as the work of the Earth First! Prisoner Support Project and June11.org" You can see much more about this project, learn about the convergence, and donate or register for the event at https://fighttoxicprisons.org ======================================================= The second segment in today's show is an interview with Ben Turk conducted by members of The Prison Radio Show collective at CKUT, on the campus of McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada about the prison strikes across the U.S. and the buildup towards calls for a general prisoner strike on the 45th anniversary of the Attica Prison uprising on September 9th. For a link to this show, follow: https://ckut.ca/en/content/prison-radio-april-14-5-6pm-ben-turk-ending-prison-slavery-0 ====================================================== From the website, It's Going Down dot org, the regular segment called Bloc Party is a great source for recent uprisings in the streets and in prisons around North America. We'd like to highlight a few of these items. First off, the article summarizes a number of the May Day disturbances that took place last Sunday, including brief report-backs from May Day noise demos and street parties in NYC, Hamilton (Ontario) & Chicago, riots in Seattle and prison work strikes in Alabama at Holman, Elmore, and St Clair facilities. More details and photos from those prison strikes and solidarity protests, including ones in Minneapolis & Milwaukee plus arrestee support links can be found at http://supportprisonerresistance.noblogs.org ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also from that post are announcements of the June 12th birthday of Jay Chase of the NATO3 who's been struggling with some health and legal hurdles of recently as well as information on the upcoming June parole dates for longstanding Black Liberation political prisoners Robert Seth Hayes and jalil Muntaqim with links to their support campaigns and also a new mailing address for Joseph Buddington, recently sentenced to 2 years for a non-cooperating plea for releasing thousands of minks from fur farms. We spoke about his case alongside that of Nicole Kissane. Check out http://itsgoingdown.org to check it out in detail. -------------------------------------------------------------- Finally, we'd like to share a part of the crowd sourcing request for the U.S.-based, English-language insurrectional anarchist journal, Fire To The Prisons which is asking for help in the publication of it's 16th issue. In the request, FTTP describes the sorts of content it's covered and plans to cover, including wanting: "to expand our coverage, scope, and the reach of the publication while remaining true to the spirit of Fire to the Prisons. We will continue with our long term commitment to counter-information, original writing and content, and the amplification of the anti-authoritarian/anti-prison/anti-repression struggle that you have come to expect from us. We will have both a domestic and international voice this issue. While remaining true to reporting on repression and anti-prison resistance across the states, Canada, and Mexico, we have committed articles from abroad promising insight on struggles and happenings that will help to bridge and unify an array of social tensions through a mutual awareness and solidarity. We truly want FTTP to become a global publication and one that links anarchists and other autonomous combatants together in a dialog about the commonalities that we all face, as well as a discussion on the actions and struggles that we can all engage in. We will be covering the resurgence of fascism in mainstream American politics, as well as updates on communities resisting further eco-devastation across the states. We have committed articles from prisoners domestic and international. We have commitments from NYC Anarchist Black Cross to use the project as a resource for raising awareness on repression and prisoner status in North America. We will also focus on the pacification of favelas in Brazil, the current reality and history of anarchist struggle in Chile, and the refugee situation in Greece. We will have further reports on anti-police struggle across the United States, and will be continuing a tradition of news on broader prisoner strikes across America since our last issue. We are also intent on original articles on indigenous resistance in western Canada. Plus accounts and updates of the struggle in Rojava and general Kurdistan. Also all our featured articles will be available in Spanish for free on our website. We are a committed collective. We are prepared to invest a lot of time and energy into producing this project, but we ask any and all sympathetic readers to help us with printing and distribution. by donating to our funding page. To print 10,000 copies of this it will cost us $2,000 dollars. While in the past we have had to ask people to pay the postage to our distributor, we would like to be able to send out more copies for free, to encourage broader distribution. We are asking for another $2,000 dollars for this. With maximizing our distribution efforts through contacts and friends across the world, we can distribute and mail out almost all of the new issues to anyone interested in distributing it. This leads us to asking for $4,000 dollars. We know this is an ambitious amount, and most likely those supporting us aren't very wealthy, but it will absolutely secure this project, and help with the expansion of our readership. We hope that reaching out this way will put a dent into that fiscal goal, as our collective members are all working people." The collective is soliciting submissions and comments via email at firetotheprisons@riseup.net and invites folks to read and download old issues in pdf form from the website at: http://firetotheprisons.org Donations can be made at https://www.generosity.com/fundraising/help-print-and-distribute-fire-to-the-prisons-13 ======================================================== Playlist here: http://www.ashevillefm.org/node/16196
