People around the world have heard how Zohran Mamdani's campaign for Mayor of New York succeeded through person to person conversations throughout the city. Apparently rare in US politics today, that approach has deep roots in rural Appalachia, which curiously enough is the setting of Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance. Beth Howard, author of the book Song for a Hard Hit People, discusses the region's radical, multi-racial labor history, as well as her own history of community solidarity, her opinion of J.D. Vance, and her organizing philosophy and practice.

Before you begin listening to today’s program, I want to return to a pattern we’ve been noticing in recent conversations. A pattern of contradictions delivered within the same breath. One moment we hear that the conflict is ending, and in the next, that it is escalating. One moment there are negotiations, and the next, threats of wiping someone off the map. One moment we are told the Strait of Hormuz is fully under control, and then the news reports the opposite. It feels as though we are running in circles, listening to a performance where the script changes every few minutes. And the most unsettling part is that all of these claims come from the same conversation. What is true? What is false? And why does the story shift so quickly? But here is the part that deserves real attention. Every time officials say “we are talking,” the stock market rises. Every time they say “we are going to strike,” the market drops. These swings move billions of dollars in minutes. And it raises a question many people are quietly asking: are there individuals who know what is coming before the rest of us hear it? Are there people who buy and sell based on the next sentence in a speech? Someone is getting richer. Maybe a few someones. Meanwhile, the rest of us feel the consequences in real time. At the gas pump. At the grocery store. In our insurance bills. In every corner of daily life. It is a game being played at a level we are not invited into, yet we are the ones paying the price. We are left outside the circle, drowning in debt while others ride the waves of every announcement. And there is another uncomfortable realization that grows clearer every day. Many people feel that the decisions shaping their lives are being made somewhere far beyond their reach. That policies shift not because of public need, but because of pressures we never see. Some listeners have even written to say they feel as though leadership is simply carrying out instructions handed down from elsewhere. If you agree, or if you see it differently, I want to hear from you. Send your thoughts to TWIPpodcasts@gmail.com and let us know what you think. Tonight, we step back from the noise and look at the patterns beneath it. This is This Week in Palestine. Let’s begin.

Host Ali Abunimah speaks with Dr. Helyeh Doutaghi, an Iranian scholar of international law and political economy at the University of Tehran. She was expelled from Yale last year amid a broader government crackdown on Palestine solidarity. She offers a view of the war that sharply contradicts Western narratives – one defined not by internal division or collapse, but by solidarity, political clarity and a deepening sense of shared struggle across the region – above all with Palestine.
