In this archive edition of Radio Curious, recorded in the Radio Curious studios on January 9, 2009 we visit with Dr. Dean Wolbach, a former Air Pollution Control Officer for Mendocino County.

Israel wiped entire Palestinian cities off the map. Writer, poet, and journalist Ahmed Abu Artema joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to discuss what he saw and experienced during the genocide and how he was evacuated to the Netherlands last month. He explains that: “they are claiming that [they] are fighting Hamas. They murdered 20,000 children, they destroyed 85 percent of the houses of Gaza, they destroyed the hospitals, the universities, complete cities were wiped out from the map. So what is Hamas? They’re problem is with the Palestinian people themselves, the Palestinian existence itself.”
Ali Abunimah discusses the significance of the “recognition” of the “State of Palestine” by a number of Western countries. Is it a step forward or a distraction?

In this interview titled "Susan Abulhawa: Gaza Will Define Humanity’s Future", Palestinian-American novelist and activist Susan Abulhawa joins journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin on Out Loud for a searing, emotionally charged conversation about Gaza, resistance, and the moral crossroads facing humanity.
Abulhawa speaks with unflinching clarity, refusing euphemisms and half-truths. She calls the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza what it is: genocide, colonialism, and betrayal—not just by Israel, but by complicit Arab regimes and global powers. Her voice, sharpened by grief and defiance, insists that rage is not weakness but a form of survival. She argues that when rage is channeled into responsibility, it becomes a source of courage and hope.
Throughout the episode, Abulhawa explores Gaza not merely as a place under siege, but as a mirror of humanity’s future. She dismantles the psychology of helplessness, critiques the myth of Western “decorum,” and exposes the illusion of free speech that collapses when Palestine is mentioned. Her analysis is both literary and political, rooted in lived experience and historical truth.
Key themes include:
• Her recent visit to Gaza and the unbearable realities she witnessed firsthand.
• The role of language in masking violence—why terms like “conflict” or “war” obscure the reality of ethnic cleansing.
• The global architecture of complicity, including silence from cultural institutions and censorship of Palestinian voices.
• The resilience of Palestinians, especially children, and the cultural memory that sustains hope amid devastation.
Abulhawa also previews her upcoming literary projects, including a Gaza anthology, and reflects on the duty of artists, writers, and thinkers to speak truth in times of mass erasure.
The episode closes with a call to action: rage alone will not change the world—but rage, when multiplied and directed, becomes the power to shift history. Gaza, she insists, is not just a tragedy—it is a test. And how the world responds will define the moral trajectory of our time.
