There's lots of newer recordings on Backbeat this week, though you might not be able to tell which ones if I don't identify them. There's honky-tonk country from Big Fancy and the Shiddy Cowboys, more great soul/blues from Brandon Isaac, traditional flamenco from Mexico's Vanessa Trivino plus the usual mix of classics from Joe Turner, Cousin Joe and Jerry Byrd (who is a direct link between Hank Williams and Jerry Garcia) and more.

Today, we begin with a simple truth that rarely makes it into headlines. Somewhere, not far from the checkpoints and the walls, not far from the refugee camps and the demolished homes, not far from Gaza’s ruins and the West Bank’s olive groves, Israel is holding an election. A national ritual. A ceremony of democracy. A moment the world treats as a sign of stability and progress. But for Palestinians, this election is not a choice. It is a warning. Because every ballot cast in Israel carries consequences for the people living under occupation. Every campaign promise echoes through Gaza’s shattered streets. Every political speech reverberates in the hills of the West Bank. Every candidate’s victory shapes the fate of Palestinians across the region and across the world. And so we begin with a cold question. A question that cuts through the noise, the slogans, the posters, the televised debates. What does an Israeli election mean for a people who cannot vote in it, yet live under its shadow every single day? The other day, someone asked me, “Who do you want to win the Israeli election?” I looked her in the eyes and answered without hesitation. “What difference does it make?” Because when you peel back the layers, when you strip away the campaign ads and the speeches, you find a political landscape where every major candidate shares the same foundation. A foundation built on occupation. A foundation built on supremacy. A foundation built on the belief that Palestinians must remain controlled, contained, and silenced. One candidate promises harsher crackdowns. Another promises tighter borders. One vows to expand settlements. Another vows to legalize the ones already built. One speaks openly of removing Palestinians. Another speaks quietly of policies that achieve the same result. Different words. Same ideology. And while the world watches Israel’s election as if it were a beacon of democracy, Palestinians brace themselves for the next wave of consequences. In Gaza, families wonder whether the next government will tighten the siege or loosen it. Whether aid will be blocked or allowed. Whether reconstruction will begin or be halted. Whether the bombs will fall again. In the West Bank, communities wonder whether settler violence will increase. Whether land seizures will accelerate. Whether military raids will intensify. Whether the checkpoints will multiply. And beyond the borders of historic Palestine, millions of Palestinians in exile wonder whether the next Israeli government will make their return even more impossible. Whether their identity will be further erased. Whether their history will be rewritten yet again. This election does not happen in isolation. It happens on occupied land. It happens under apartheid conditions. It happens while millions live without rights, without freedom, without protection. And yet, the world treats it as normal. But Palestinians know better. They know that every Israeli election is a turning point. Not for Israel. But for them. Because when a country elects leaders who control another people’s land, another people’s movement, another people’s future, that election becomes a tool of domination. And today, as Israel prepares to choose its next government, Palestinians prepare for the consequences. They prepare for policies that will shape their daily lives. They prepare for decisions made in rooms they cannot enter. They prepare for laws written in a language they cannot vote in. They prepare for leaders who speak about them, legislate over them, and rule them — without ever seeing them as equals. This is the reality the world must confront. This is the truth behind the ballot box. This is the story rarely told. And today, we tell it. We begin with the election. We begin with the candidates. We begin with the ideology that binds them. And we begin with the people who will feel the impact most deeply — the Palestinians living under occupation and the Palestinians scattered across the world. This is This Week in Palestine. This is where truth stands unfiltered. This is where clarity does not bend. And this is where we begin. If you have thoughts, I want to hear them. Email me at TWIPpodcasts@gmail.com and tell me how you see it. This is This Week in Palestine.

In April 2024, German police raided and shut down the Palestine Congress in Berlin, a gathering meant to expose Germany’s political and military support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. In mid-2025, a Berlin court ruled that the ban on Palestinian surgeon Dr. Ghassan Abu Sitta was unlawful, and in November 2025 it ruled that the ban on the Congress itself was unlawful. Dror Dayan, director of the new documentary Gleichgeschaltet: Germany Against the Palestine Congress, and Helena Zohdi, a Berlin-based socialist and one of the Congress organizers, join hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to explain why Germany’s repression of Palestine solidarity is about imperialist interests, not guilt. They also discuss the trial of the Ulm 5, activists held in pre-trial detention for more than a year after damaging equipment at an Elbit Systems facility. Israel held a general election on October 27th. Netanyahu’s bloc lost its majority but beat the polls, while Palestinian-led parties won a record 19 seats. Ali Abunimah looks at the so-called opposition leaders seeking to replace Netanyahu, from Gadi Eisenkot, the architect of the Dahiya doctrine, to Naftali Bennett, Yair Lapid, Yair Golan and Avigdor Lieberman, and argues that there is no alternative to genocide within Zionism. On the Resistance Report, the Electronic Intifada’s contributing editor Jon Elmer follows Ansarallah and the Yemeni armed forces as they overrun Saudi-backed positions in the desert of Marib and capture a key mountain overlooking Taiz. The Yemeni armed forces have also warned airlines that King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh remains a military target. Electronic Intifada contributor Roqayah Chamseddine reports from southern Lebanon, where Israeli troops are demolishing residential blocks and shelling towns across the south. According to Lebanon’s health ministry, Israeli attacks have killed at least 8,956 people and injured more than 30,660.

My guest in this program was Dr. David Kiersey, the author of a book called “Presidential Temperament.” Dr. Kiersey took the Meyers-Briggs Temperament inventories and developed what has come to be known as the Kiersey Temperament Sorter. In so doing, he has established and identified several different types of character and temperament of people. In his book, “Please Understand Me,” the reader may use the Kiersey Temperament Sorter to get an idea of his or her personality and temperament traits. With his history and experience, Kiersey has examined the people who have become a President of the US and set out his analysis in “Presidential Temperaments.” In this program, originally broadcast in November of 1993 when Radio Curious was called Government, Politics and Ideas, we’ll be talking about the book and some of the temperaments of the various Presidents. Dr. David Kiersey recommends “Killer Angels,” by Michael Shaara & The Hornblower Series, by Horatio Hormblower. Originally Broadcast: November 19, 1993

Nora Barrows-Friedman brings us a recap of Palestinian news for the week of October 29th, 2026.

On Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Dolores Huerta passed away at age 96. A lifelong activist, she had recently traveled from California to Texas, to attend the Democratic Convention and to urge workers to vote. When she was merely 82, she addressed the US National Women's Studies Association. Melinda Tuhus recorded that speech for WINGS. The month after she gave that speech, Huerta accepted the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama. He acknowledged having stolen his slogan "Yes, we can!" from her; she taught the crowd her Spanish version: "Si, se puede!"
