It also includes the growth of the international women's movement and the expansion of its concerns, women's contributions to civil society, the early days of feminist radio, and the role of women in the international community radio sector. Reprised for our 40th anniversary.

The war on Iran is no longer a distant conflict unfolding on someone else’s horizon. It is reshaping America itself. It is bending our foreign policy, straining our alliances, and exposing the limits of a superpower that once believed it could dictate the direction of the Middle East with a single announcement. For decades, Washington operated under the assumption that its influence in the region was permanent. But this war has revealed something different. It has shown us that the Middle East is entering a new chapter, one where American decisions carry less weight, where American promises ring hollow, and where American credibility is questioned by allies who once stood firmly at our side. And at the center of this unraveling is the blind, unconditional support for Israel. Support so automatic, so unexamined, that it has pushed long standing partners away. Nations that once aligned with Washington are now charting their own paths, forming new alliances, and refusing to be pulled into a conflict they no longer believe the United States can manage responsibly. This is not just geopolitics. This is the cost of refusing to confront uncomfortable truths. And then there are the announcements. The declarations. The dramatic statements from President Trump about Iran that echo across the news cycle, only to be contradicted hours later by reality. Trump says, “We won the war.” Iran replies, “We are stronger than ever.” Trump says, “Iran agreed to surrender uranium.” Iran responds, “That is false.” Trump says, “We control the Strait of Hormuz.” Iran answers, “Good luck.” Each announcement becomes a headline. Each response becomes a reminder. A reminder that the truth cannot be manufactured by press conferences or tweets. A reminder that power is not measured by declarations, but by outcomes. And the outcome is clear: America is losing influence in a region it once dominated. Not because of weakness, but because of choices. Choices that prioritize loyalty over logic. Choices that elevate politics over principle. Choices that ignore the suffering of millions while insisting the world look the other way. This is the moment we are living in. A moment where the war on Iran is reshaping America’s role in the world. A moment where blind support for Israel is costing the United States allies it cannot afford to lose. A moment where truth and rhetoric are no longer aligned, and the gap between them grows wider every day. And that 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.

Reports suggest the International Criminal Court may seek arrest warrants for several far-right Israeli officials and military officers, though prosecutors have not confirmed this. So far, the ICC has publicly issued warrants only for Prime Minister Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Gallant, while other sealed warrants may still exist. Researcher, analyst, and commentator Mouin Rabbani joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to talk about the pursuit of justice for victims of the genocide and the broader challenges faced by the Palestinian national movement. Israel has intensified its air campaign across southern Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley, carrying out hundreds of strikes on towns, civilian areas, and displacement zones while casualties and displacement continue to rise. Roqayah Chamseddine reports from southern Lebanon. On the Resistance Report, the Electronic Intifada’s Jon Elmer told us last week about the Israeli assassination of the Qassam Brigades leader Izz al-Din al-Haddad in Gaza City. Mohammed Odeh, their long-standing head of intelligence, was then chosen as their new commander. This week, the latest Israeli ceasefire violation: yet another assassination as Odeh, his wife and three children are killed in an airstrike. Inside Palestine or out, refugees describe constant fear and steadfast determination. We hear excerpts from Malak Hijazi’s latest article called ‘Endless displacement, endless Nakba.’

The creative imagination of playwright Don Samson is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious. In May 2015, I had the good fortune of seeing a ten minute play entitled “Blind Date,” written by my long time friend, who lives in nearby Willits, California. For many years prior to becoming a playwright, Don Samson researched and wrote legal briefs for criminal defense attorneys, an experience we also discuss in this program. After seeing the local production of “Blind Date,” I was curious about the circumstances that came to Don Samson’s mind when he created this play, so I invited him to visit the Radio Curious studios. We met on May 22, 2015 and began our conversation with his description of those circumstances. Don Samson recommends the book, which is also a play, “Antigone,” by Sophocles.
