Did you know that the contents of that can of tuna sitting in your cupboard can actually be traced back to the waters and boat where the fish was caught? Organizations like the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (the ISSF) have placed seafood traceability squarely in the 21st century. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with the president of the ISSF, Susan Jackson, to learn more about tuna fishing. We look at her organization’s partnership model, discuss the viability of maintaining healthy global fish stocks, and talk about some of the challenges facing the industry.

Bandolero Seized on August 1, 2026, by Iceland Coast Guard. ("https://apnews.com/article/iceland-whaling-paul-watson-bandero-ship-seized-80064e2df900ed79f916608bd3780002") When Captain Paul Watson – co-founder of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society returned from exile in France, TUC radio broadcast an interview with him that surpassed in downloads all programs of 2016 except for one. So here is an update on occasion of the beginning of the Japanese whale hunt in the Southern Ocean. Sea Shepherd is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Their 1977 founding mission is to end the destruction of habitat and the slaughter of wildlife in the world’s oceans. Their decades long practice of aggressive non-violence has led to charges of piracy. However Sea Shepherd’s legal team defends the organization’s right to enforce international conservation laws in neutral waters. Courts in many jurisdictions have sided with Sea Shepherd – with the notable exception of the US 9th District Court. The US court sided in 2012 with Japanese Whalers and ordered Watson to stay away from the whaling fleet. Even though in March 2014 the International Court of Justice ruled that the Japanese whaling program was not, as claimed, for scientific purposes, and ordered Japan to cease operations, the US District Court is standing by its ruling. On August 23, 2016, a preliminary injunction, which prevents Sea Shepherd’s US branch from disrupting Japanese whaling operations in the Southern Ocean, became permanent. However Sea Shepherd is an international organization and the Australian branch is not bound by the US 9th District Court ruling. Australia in fact has declared Japan’s hunt in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary to be illegal. As this program goes out in late November 2016 Sea Shepherd Australia is outfitting their most recently added vessel, the Ocean Warrior, to confront Japanese whalers who already left Japan on November 18, 2016. While still in exile in Paris in January of 2016 Paul Watson was interviewed by Aurélie Aimé who is part of the Chou Brave TV collective. They touched on remembrance, vision, ideas, climate change, children, ecology, diversity and interdependence and even food and above all why exactly we humans will die when the oceans die. They spoke in a coffee house with some music in the background.

Janet Mirobi tells how she and other women who entered the taxi business in Mombasa shrugged off male drivers' interference; how she used her contacts from ships in the port to learn multiple languages; how she was stowed away on a ship and learned to crew, while keeping her new occupation from her parents; and how she used her seafaring earnings to open first a pub in Mombasa and then the Jawambe Hotel. She gives her philosophy on how to interact appropriately with customers.

Today, we step into a subject that exposes the raw nerves of a nation, the fear gripping its settlers, and the political narratives shaping the conflict. It is a subject that forces us to confront the violence unfolding across Palestinian towns, the ideological machinery behind it, and the way fear is transformed into justification. This is not a polite exploration. It is not softened. It is not designed to protect anyone’s comfort. It is designed to reveal. Across the West Bank, settler rampages have erupted with alarming intensity. Homes burned. Cars torched. Families forced to flee in the middle of the night. Videos show masked figures marching with rifles, chanting threats, attacking civilians, and leaving behind trails of destruction. Israeli human rights organizations describe these attacks as coordinated and deliberate. Palestinians describe them as terror. And today, we must try to understand what fuels this violence, and why it is escalating now. The first layer of this subject is fear, not only as an emotion but as a political tool. Settlers claim they are terrified, living under constant threat, surrounded by enemies. They frame their actions as self-defense, as survival, as a response to existential danger. But fear, when politicized, becomes something else. It becomes a shield that excuses aggression. It becomes a narrative that transforms perpetrators into victims. It becomes a justification for rampage. Let’s see how this fear is shaped. Settlers live in fortified enclaves, protected by military units, armed with rifles, supported by state funding, and backed by political leadership. They travel in armored vehicles. They receive infrastructure and protection that Palestinians do not. Yet they describe themselves as vulnerable and besieged. This fear is not only emotional; it is ideological. It is cultivated through education, religious narratives, and political rhetoric that frame Palestinians as existential threats. It is reinforced by leaders who portray settlement expansion as both a right and a necessity. But fear does not erase responsibility. Fear does not justify burning homes. Fear does not excuse collective punishment. And fear does not belong exclusively to one side. Palestinian families endure settler attacks without protection, without recourse, without justice. Their fear is lived, daily, and unshielded. It belongs to those who have no army, no state, no armored vehicles, and no political backing. The second layer of this subject is history, not as a neutral record but as a tool that can be weaponized. Some argue that violence is inevitable, that the conflict is predetermined, that resistance is simply refusal to accept reality. This framing reduces the conflict to fate rather than political choice. It erases Palestinian agency, suffering, and rights. It suggests that settlement expansion, occupation, and displacement are natural outcomes of history rather than deliberate policies. But history is not destiny. History can be selective. History can be used to absolve power. And today, we confront the fact that invoking history to justify present-day oppression is a political strategy, not a historical truth. The third layer of this subject is militarization, specifically the shockwaves created by reports of Hamas acquiring weapons through regional networks and smuggling routes. These revelations have sparked outrage and fear. Some claim these weapons justify harsher measures, justify occupation, justify settler violence. Others argue that armed resistance emerges from decades of siege, displacement, and structural violence. But today, we must ask: Does militarization justify occupation? Does resistance justify rampage? Does fear justify erasure? The heart of this subject is truth, who defines it, who controls it, and who pays the price when truth becomes dangerous. The conflict is not only fought on land. It is fought through narratives. Through fear. Through memory. Through the stories that are amplified and the stories that are buried. Violence does not emerge from a vacuum. Fear does not justify rampage. History does not absolve oppression. Weapons do not erase rights. Now, let’s see where this leaves us. Settlers say they are terrified. Palestinians say they are terrorized. Some claim violence is inevitable. Others insist justice is possible. And many warn that truth is being buried beneath fear, ideology, and political convenience. Today, we step into that discomfort. Today, we examine the claims. Today, we confront the contradictions. Today, we look directly at the fear, the anger, the history, and the humanity at the center of this conflict. This is not just a subject. It is a mirror reflecting a nation on edge and a people under fire. If you have thoughts, I want to hear them. Email me at TWIPpodcasts@gmail.com and tell me how you see it.
