This week on the show, we take a break from the news cycle for a special episode called Zionism Exposed. Dissident Israeli historian Illan Pappé speaks with hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah about Zionism's roots in European colonial ambitions. Longtime Palestine solidarity activist Tony Greenstein joins Nora and the Electronic Intifada’s Asa Winstanley to discuss the Zionist movement’s prioritizing the colonial project in Palestine over saving Jewish lives during the Holocaust, and how its logic has always been rooted in racial nationalism, not refuge. Palestinian writer Abdaljawad Omar talks to the Electronic Intifada’s Tamara Nassar about how Zionism was shaped by Europe’s anti-semitism. We also hear an excerpt from an Electronic Intifada mini-documentary called Why Anti-Zionism is Not Anti-Semitism.

The sound of the cello may, if you listen, be heard in the heart invoking a kaleidoscope of emotions on a “magic carpet ride” of sound. Joel Cohen, cellist extraordinaire has performed with the Oakland Symphony Orchestra, the Vienna Chamber Orchestra, and currently lives in Mendocino County. When Joel Cohen visited the Radio Curious studios on April 26, 2010 he described his friend the cello, bowed it to life, and it sung and spoke to us. Our conversation began with Joel Cohen describing his relationship with the cello. This interview was recorded in the studios of Radio Curious on April 26, 2010. The book Joel Cohen recommends is “Skinny Legs And All” by Tom Robbins.

The question at the heart of today’s crisis is not just who fired the first missile, but who benefits from the war—and who pays the price. Is this truly a war between Israel and Iran, or is it, more accurately, an American war on Iran, with Israel acting as the frontline executor of a broader imperial strategy? Let’s look at the facts. On June 13, Israel launched a surprise air campaign targeting Iran’s nuclear and military infrastructure, including the Natanz, Fordow, and Esfahan facilities. Days later, the United States joined the assault, deploying its most powerful conventional weapons to strike deep into Iranian territory. President Trump declared the attacks a “spectacular military success,” while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu praised the U.S. for acting with “righteous might”. But this raises a deeper question: Was Israel acting alone—or was it simply the tip of the spear for American interests? For decades, the U.S. has maintained a policy of military dominance in the Middle East, using Israel as a strategic outpost to project power and suppress regional resistance. Iran, with its independent foreign policy and support for anti-colonial movements, has long been seen as a threat to that dominance. The recent strikes, then, are not just about nuclear weapons—they’re about preserving U.S. hegemony, weakening Iran’s alliances with Russia, China, and the Global South, and ensuring that no regional power can challenge the status quo. And where does Palestine fit into this equation? Palestinians are not just bystanders in this war—they are central to its logic. The Israeli government has used the specter of Iranian aggression to justify its ongoing occupation, its siege on Gaza, and its brutal military campaigns. By framing Iran as the existential threat, Israel deflects attention from its own violations of international law and human rights. Meanwhile, the U.S. continues to funnel billions in military aid to Israel, reinforcing a system that treats Palestinian lives as expendable. In truth, the war on Iran is also a war on Palestinian resistance. It’s an attempt to dismantle the broader Axis of Resistance—which includes not just Iran, but also Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Palestinian groups that refuse to accept occupation as destiny. By targeting Iran, the U.S. and Israel aim to isolate Palestine, weaken its allies, and crush any hope of regional solidarity. So no, this is not just an Israeli war. And it’s not just about Iran. It’s about power, control, and the suppression of liberation movements across the region. And as always, Palestinians are caught in the crossfire, their struggle used as a pawn in a much larger game. Will this war expose the machinery behind the violence—or will it bury the truth beneath the rubble once again?

In recent years Americans have suddenly begun paying attention to what Korea has to offer culturally: from K-Pop to television dramas, to mouth-watering Korean barbeque. But how many people know about Korea’s climate innovations and policy? This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to Hansae Song who works with the South Korean-based nonprofit, Solutions For Our Climate. We get a summary of Korea’s involvement in fighting climate change, look at the country’s energy grid, and discuss South Korea’s recent decision to stop subsidies for biomass fuel. Then, we dig into the archives to learn a little bit more about biomass, also known as wood pellets, from Mongabay contributor Justin Catanoso.

Marilyn Waring was only 22 when she was first elected to the New Zealand Parliament. She was shocked and dismayed when she learned that all countries that are members of the UN are forced to keep their books and design their budgets under the system of National Income Accounting. The international trade in arms is the biggest growth industry of all. Killing people, or preparing to kill them, is considered very valuable in the international economic system. The death, homelessness, injury, poverty and starvation caused by the use of these weapons is not even registered as a deficit. 
This segment opens with war. Under the GDP accounting system war is the biggest growth industry of all. A segment recorded in the Philippines shows that the labor of women feeding their children with subsistence agriculture is of no value, while sexual slavery that brings tourists to the country is counted as valuable in the GDP. Waring ends by proposing a time based accounting system and recommends that women take over the political process by demanding gender parity.  Credit: Marilyn Waring, Terre Nash and the National Film Board of Canada
