A new investigation found that between July 2025 and February 2026, United Airlines carried more than 2,700 shipments of military cargo to Israel on its passenger flights, bound for Elbit Systems, Lockheed Martin Israel, the Israeli military and the Nevatim airbase, home to Israel’s F-35 fleet. Belal Elsiesy of People’s Embargo for Palestine and Shatha Mahmoud of Arms Embargo Now Canada, both campaigners with the Palestinian Youth Movement, join Nora Barrows-Friedman to discuss the findings and their call for a people’s arms embargo. On October 4th, members of the Green Party of England and Wales voted 1,022 to 813 for a motion declaring the party anti-Zionist. The motion calls Zionism racism, backs one state with equal rights for all, supports boycott, divestment and sanctions, and calls for Palestine Action to be unbanned. Lubna Speitan, an artist and activist with Greens for Palestine, the group that drafted the motion and campaigned for it, joins the Electronic Intifada’s Asa Winstanley to discuss the backlash from party leader Zack Polanski, former leader Caroline Lucas and four of the party’s five MPs, and why she says the members’ democratic decision must stand. Three years of Israeli genocide have given Gaza’s youth more reasons to seek liberation, whatever form their struggle takes. Nora Barrows-Friedman reads from Khaled El-Hissy’s article “Why Palestinians will continue to resist.”

Sonic Café—kicking off with a bluesy twist on AC/DC’s “Back in Black.” The catch? It’s all-fake. As in, AI-made from top to bottom. I’m Scott Clark, and this is episode 501 a thing we’re calling: It’s All-Fake—because, well… it is. Everything you’ll hear this time, except my lovely human voice, was created with artificial intelligence. We’re serving AI covers of songs you know by heart: a moody, blues-drenched take on Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun,” a soulful spin on Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” swamp-blues swagger on the Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil,” a funky “Seven Nation Army,” and—even wilder—a full-on Motown makeover of the Eagles’ “Hotel California.”All that plus many more. In between, you’ll hear how a British TV audience discovered their entire newscast was AI-generated, plus a couple of AI comedy shorts that suggest comedians can sleep just fine… at least for now. And a big Sonic Café shout-out to our newest sponsor: The Most Washington Man in the World—very funny, very on-the-nose, and totally AI. So let’s lean into it. Enjoy the illusions, and curiosities as we present: It’s All-Fake from that little coastal radio café way out here in the Pacific Northwest here’s a soulful AI cover of the Stone Temple Pilots—here’s “Interstate Love Song.” And we’re the Sonic Café.

The so-called International Criminal Court touted by Navi Pillay is not a UN court, it is a mutation, a coalition of neo-colonial NGO cabal trying to place their "values" above the UN Charter (after 20 years they have convicted a handful of Africans). Pillay's Nobel is a feeble attempt to keep the ICC in business.
