This week we have some songs about soldiers coming home, or just about home in general, from the likes of Dinah Washington, Bill Monroe, Soulstack, and the Silvertone Singers. We'll also hear Johnny Cash reminisce about a flood, Slim Gaillard's ode to the record shop and husband-and-wife team Texas Ruby and Curly Fox.

Before we begin today’s episode of This Week in Palestine, we must pause to mark a political moment that reverberates far beyond city limits. Zohran Mamdani has just been elected mayor of New York City—a victory that defies precedent, expectation, and the machinery of power itself. He didn’t just win an election. He dismantled a narrative. Mamdani defeated billionaires, lobbyists, and even the sitting president’s preferred candidate. He did so not by softening his stance, but by sharpening it. He refused to be silent on Palestine. He refused to visit Israel. He refused to play the game of appeasement. And for that, he was smeared, accused, and targeted. But the people of New York chose principle over propaganda. They chose clarity over compromise. His victory is more than symbolic. It signals a shift in American political discourse—a shift that centers justice, affordability, and international accountability. It tells us that being pro-Palestine is no longer political suicide. It is political courage. And that courage brings us to the heart of today’s episode. We turn now to a clip titled “Professor Exposes Secret Origins of the Israel Project,” featuring Dr. Yakov M. Rabkin—a historian whose work challenges the very foundation of Zionism. Rabkin, professor emeritus at the University of Montreal, argues that Zionism was not born in the Holy Land, but imported from Europe as a colonial ideology. He writes that Zionism is “a radical break from Jewish tradition,” rooted not in theology but in 19th-century European nationalism. He reveals how early Zionists formed alliances with antisemites—not out of shared values, but shared goals: to remove Jews from Europe. And he documents how traditional Jewish communities overwhelmingly rejected Zionism, seeing it as a betrayal of spiritual identity and ethical responsibility. Rabkin’s critique is not anti-Jewish. It is deeply Jewish. It is rooted in exile, humility, and the belief that justice cannot be built on dispossession. So as we reflect on Mamdani’s win—a mayor who centers Palestine in his politics—we also reflect on the deeper history that brought us here. A history of ideas imported from Europe. A history of resistance erased. A history that demands to be retold.

Each week, Make Believe Ballroom transports you to the golden age of swing with classic big band hits from the 1930s and 1940s—the music that shaped jazz and became the foundation of the Great American Songbook.

In the wake of Israel’s genocide on Gaza, Britain’s main political parties stood firmly behind the offensive, finding themselves on the same side as elements of the far right. Much of the British media reinforced these distortions, echoing official lines and leaving the public with a distorted picture of what’s really happening. While UK officials aided Israel in devastating Gaza and undermining international law, the British public was largely misled about the true nature of these events. Journalist Peter Oborne joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to discuss his latest book, Complicit: Britain’s Role in the Destruction of Gaza. The Electronic Intifada’s executive director, Ali Abunimah discusses Zohran Mamdani's victory as New York mayor and explains why Israel fears him. On the Resistance Report, Jon Elmer brings us the latest from the so-called ceasefire.

Life Above the Jungle Floor In the middle of the Costa Rican rain forest, about an hour west of San Jose, Costa Rica, on the east side of the continental divide, you can find the Rain Forest Aerial Tram located on a private rain forest reserve. It’s a series of small, open-air cars that hold about five people each held together by a three kilometers long cable. The tramcars carry visitors through, above and below this portion of the Central American rainforest canopy. The Rain Forest Aerial Tram was the brainchild of Dr. Donald Perry, a biologist trained at the University of California at Los Angeles, who, beginning in 1970, has specialized in the study of the flora and fauna of the Central American Rainforest. In April of 1995, I visited the Rain Forest Aerial Tram with Dr. Perry. Dr. Donald Perry recommends “Life Above the Jungle Floor,” by Dr. David Perry. Originally Broadcast: April 1, 1995

It should.
