Another menagerie of music this week on Backbeat, recordings you wouldn't think would go together, do (I hope). The fast and the slow, smooth and rough, hits and obscurities, religious and secular, records in different languages and from different eras, but somehow all sound the same, just with a different accent.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants the execution of convicted Fort Hood mass murderer Nidal Hasan livestreamed for the world to watch. Is this justice or a return to public executions as entertainment? In this sarcastic Elk Grove News Minute commentary, we travel from America's frontier hangings to the Roman Empire and ask: Why stop at a firing squad? Why not crucifixion? A pointed look at capital punishment, political spectacle and the meaning of civilization. More commentary at ElkGroveNews.net.

How did AIPAC begin in America, and why did it rise to become one of the most powerful political forces in Washington? Today, we open a chapter that many Americans have never been invited to read. It is a chapter that explains why our foreign policy looks the way it does, why the Middle East remains locked in perpetual crisis, and why the voice of the American public so often feels drowned out by interests that do not serve them. To understand the present, we must go back to the origins. AIPAC did not emerge from a grassroots movement. It did not rise from the voices of ordinary Jewish Americans seeking safety or dignity. It began as a strategic project, a political engine designed to secure unwavering United States support for Israel, regardless of the cost, regardless of the consequences, and regardless of the shifting tides of global politics. In the aftermath of World War II, as Israel was being established, a small network of activists and political operatives recognized something crucial. America was the key. Not Europe. Not the United Nations. America, the superpower with the money, the military, the influence, and the global reach. And so the American Israel Public Affairs Committee was born. Its mission was simple. Make support for Israel a permanent fixture of American politics. Make it bipartisan. Make it untouchable. Make it so deeply woven into the fabric of Washington that no president, no senator, and no representative could challenge it without risking their career. Over the decades, AIPAC mastered the art of influence. It built relationships with lawmakers. It funded campaigns. It shaped narratives. It crafted talking points. It trained young politicians. It created a political environment where questioning Israeli policy became synonymous with political suicide. And slowly, quietly, and methodically, AIPAC became one of the most powerful lobbying organizations in the United States. Its reach extended far beyond foreign policy. It influenced military spending. It shaped intelligence cooperation. It guided diplomatic strategy. It pressured administrations, Republican and Democrat alike, to align with Israeli interests even when those interests contradicted American values, American priorities, and American security. Critics argue that AIPAC’s influence has helped sustain occupation, fuel conflict, and silence dissent. They argue that AIPAC has pushed the United States into wars, sanctions, and regional entanglements that serve Israel’s strategic goals while leaving Americans to bear the cost in taxes, in debt, in instability, and in global backlash. They argue that AIPAC has created a political environment where genocide can be excused, where occupation can be normalized, and where human rights violations can be dismissed as security concerns. They argue that AIPAC’s power has grown so immense that it now shapes not only foreign policy, but domestic politics as well. It influences media narratives, shapes public opinion, and determines which voices are amplified and which voices are silenced. Now, we speak directly to our listeners about this influence. Not to demonize. Not to sensationalize. But to understand. Understanding AIPAC is essential to understanding why the Middle East remains in chaos. Understanding AIPAC is essential to understanding why American presidents, including our current one, make decisions that seem to serve interests far beyond our borders. Understanding AIPAC is essential to understanding why the United States continues to fund wars, occupations, and military operations that do not benefit the American people. This is not a story about Judaism. This is not a story about Jewish identity. This is a story about political power, power wielded by a lobbying organization that has shaped American policy for generations. And now, we open that story. We examine its origins. We explore its rise. We confront its consequences. And we ask the question that many fear to ask. Who truly shapes America’s decisions in the Middle East? Who benefits from the chaos? Who profits from the conflict? Who writes the script our leaders follow? This is This Week in Palestine. This is where truth does not hesitate. This is where clarity does not bend. And this is where we begin. If you have thoughts, I want to hear them. Email me at TWIPpodcasts@gmail.com and tell me how you see it. This is This Week in Palestine.

Sonic Café, like pictures from the past, this time we’re taking a look back to celebrate a huge milestone — episode 500 of the Sonic Café. I’m your host, Scott Clark, and yes, we’ve officially gone the distance — 500 episodes of eclectic music, comedy and pop culture, and most importantly, connection with you. To mark the occasion, we’ll rewind to our first 50 shows — the music that started it all. We don’t usually repeat songs here at the Café, but for this milestone, we’re making an exception. Why 50? Because 50 times 10 equals 500 — it just fits. You’ll hear Everclear’s AM Radio (a perfect flashback track), plus Dirty Vegas, Roxy Music, Smash Mouth, the legendary Johnny Cash, Jet, The Who, and more. Then near the bottom of the hour, another Sonic Café mash-up — We’ll spin Pomplamoose blending The Police with The Proclaimers’ 500-mile walking wonder I’m Gonna Be. How could we not? We’ve also got laughs for you from Jim Gaffigan, who’s going the distance, for fried bread, and Key & Peele, capture that sweet rush of being in boarding group one. Oh — and a big Sonic Café shout-out to our first returning sponsor: Race to Pluto, the new reality show following billionaires as they race to be first to the ninth planet. Appointment TV for sure. So let’s kick it off. From 1964, here’s James Brown, the Godfather of Soul. We’re still here, still going the distance — and as always, we’re the Sonic Café.

Three years since October 7th, Columbia University professor Joseph Massad joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to discuss what this period has revealed about Israel, the powers that sustain it and the Palestinian struggle for liberation. He explains why Israel, unlike the English settler colonies of Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand, has never secured world recognition. He argues that, having lost the demographic war, Israel is left with genocide or a radical new attempt at ethnic cleansing as its remaining strategy. He also takes on the so-called liberal pro-Palestinian position, which shows solidarity with Palestinians as victims but condemns them for resisting. On the Resistance Report, Jon Elmer follows Ansarallah and the Yemeni Armed Forces as they push to cut off the city of Taiz from Saudi-held Aden, capturing Saudi, American and Canadian-made weapons and armoured vehicles along the way. Yemeni forces are also taking the fight into Saudi Arabia itself, with missile and drone strikes on Aramco oil facilities and the main international airport in Riyadh. Electronic Intifada contributor Roqayah Chamseddine reports that Israeli shelling, airstrikes and demolitions continue to destroy border villages across southern Lebanon. And marking the anniversary of October 7th, Hezbollah issued a statement saying Israel has failed to break the resolve of the Palestinian people.

Between 1892 and 1956 about 12 million people immigrated to the United States through Ellis Island, in the harbor of New York City. Who were these immigrants? Where did they come from? What was the experience of getting to Ellis Island and what happened to them once they arrived? In this archive edition of Radio Curious, we visited with Andrew Weiss, who I met in 1992 when he was a tour guide at Ellis Island, working for the City of New York. I spoke with Andrew Weiss in November of 1992, when he was a doctoral candidate at Columbia University and a teacher at Barnard College in New York City. I asked him to begin by telling us about the history of Ellis Island. Originally Broadcast: November 23, 1992
