Antisemitism has long been a real and dangerous form of hatred—but today, Zionist institutions increasingly weaponize the term to silence Palestinian advocacy and discredit righteous voices calling for justice. This introduction explores how that distortion works, and why it matters. Let’s begin with clarity. Antisemitism is real. It is a centuries-old hatred that has led to unspeakable violence, discrimination, and genocide—most horrifically in the Holocaust. It must be condemned wherever it appears. But today, a dangerous distortion is unfolding. Zionist institutions and pro-Israel lobby groups have increasingly weaponized the term antisemitism—not to protect Jewish communities from hate, but to shield the Israeli state from accountability. They’ve redefined criticism of Israel as antisemitism. They’ve blurred the line between opposing a government and hating a people. And in doing so, they’ve turned a legitimate concern into a political weapon. This tactic is not new. But it’s growing more aggressive. Palestinians—who are themselves Semites—are routinely accused of antisemitism for speaking about their own dispossession. Jewish scholars, journalists, and activists who oppose Zionism are smeared as traitors. Students are expelled. Professors are fired. Social media accounts are suspended. And entire movements are branded as “hate groups” for demanding basic human rights. According to Palestine Legal, nearly half of the suppression incidents they respond to each year involve false accusations of antisemitism. The goal is clear: silence dissent. Discredit resistance. Punish truth. And it’s not just happening in the U.S. In France, President Macron called anti-Zionism a “reinvented form of antisemitism.” In Canada and the UK, governments have adopted definitions that equate criticism of Israel with hate speech. In 2023, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution declaring that “anti-Zionism is antisemitism”. But here’s the truth: Zionism is a political ideology. It is not Judaism. It is not a religion. It is not a people. And opposing Zionism—especially in its violent, settler-colonial form—is not antisemitism. It is a moral stance. It is a defense of international law. It is a call for justice. When Palestinians speak of their stolen homes, their murdered children, their imprisoned elders—they are not expressing hate. They are expressing history. They are expressing grief. They are expressing truth. And when righteous people—of all backgrounds—stand with Palestine, they are not inciting violence. They are resisting it. So let’s be clear: The weaponization of antisemitism is not about protecting Jews. It’s about protecting power. It’s about silencing the oppressed. It’s about making sure that the crimes of the Israeli state go unchallenged. But the truth is louder than the smear. And the truth is rising. From Gaza to New York, from refugee camps to college campuses, from synagogues to mosques—people are speaking. People are resisting. People are refusing to be silenced. And that resistance? It’s not antisemitism. It’s conscience. It’s courage. It’s justice.

There is strong historical and anthropological evidence that dogs came across the Bering land bridge with people migrating from Siberia to Alaska. These dogs worked hard to maintain their keep; they werent pets. Instead, they chased and ran down polar bears and located seals hiding beneath the Bering ice. One of the early dog professionals in Alaska was Harry Karstens, who later became the first superintendent of Mount McKinley National Park. As a young man, he pioneered a dog sled route from Fairbanks to Valdez, and hauled mail to the Katishna mining district. Now, at Denali National Park in central Alaska, theres a breeding and training and leadership program for these sled dogs. I spoke with Gary Coy, the director of this remarkable kennel. In his office there is a large sign quoting Harry Karstens. It says: A man driving a dog team is the biggest dog himself. Amid the noise and the chatter of the dog kennels in Denali Park, I asked Gary to explain what that sign means and to tell us a little about this wonderful project. Gary Coy recommends A Dog-Puncher on the Yukon, by Arthur Walden. Originally Broadcast: August 28, 1996

While diverting the flow of a river is a practice that people have been engaging in for about 5,000 years, dams are far from harmless. Like many human inventions, dams have been known to perpetuate economic hierarchies, rob communities of essential resources, and wreak havoc on ecosystems. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to Amy Bowers Cordalis, an attorney who has a new book out: The Water Remembers: My Indigenous Family’s Fight To Save A River And A Way Of Life. It tells the story of her legal crusade to tear down the Klamath River dam and help restore the river to its natural state. A UN Champion of the Earth Laureate, Cordalis, recounts the history of the construction of four dams at the headwaters of the Klamath— a move that constricted the river's flow, killed hundreds of thousands of salmon, and choked the lifeblood of the Yurok Nation in Northern California. She led the appeal that resulted in the decommissioning of the structures, ultimately ensuring the removal of the dams in 2024, and marking the largest successful dam removal project in world history. Join us to hear the story of a true climate activist and to better understand what it took to actuate change.
