The mainstream western media has been going full throttle for the past two weeks covering the protests in Iran, drumming up support for American military intervention and even predicting the return of the deposed Iranian monarchy and the restoration of friendly diplomatic ties between Iran and Apartheid Israel. Regardless of events on the ground, their agenda could not be more clear. They want the destruction of Iran as an anti-imperialist force in the region and in particular its solidarity with Palestine as the bombing of Gaza continues daily.

We all agree that antisemitism is wrong. There is no debate on that point. Hatred toward Jewish people, or toward any community because of who they are, is unacceptable. It is a moral failure and a danger that must be confronted wherever it appears. But acknowledging that truth does not mean ignoring how the word antisemitism is sometimes used in ways that have nothing to do with protecting Jewish communities. Increasingly, the accusation is deployed as a political tool, a way to silence criticism of Israeli government policies and to shut down conversations about Palestinian rights. This tactic works because the word carries enormous emotional weight. It evokes centuries of trauma and persecution. It demands seriousness. And because of that, it can be used to end a conversation before it begins. Raise a question about human rights and you are accused of antisemitism. Express sorrow for civilians in Gaza and you are accused of antisemitism. Criticize settlement expansion or military occupation and you are accused of antisemitism. Challenge a political leader who supports Israeli policy and you are accused of antisemitism. The accusation appears instantly, often without any engagement with the substance of the critique. But antisemitism and anti-Zionism are not the same. Antisemitism is hatred toward Jewish people. Anti Zionism is opposition to a political ideology and the state policies built upon it. One targets people for who they are. The other critiques systems of power and governance. When these two concepts are deliberately blurred, the consequences are serious. The misuse of the term weakens the fight against real antisemitism by stretching the definition so far that it loses meaning. It becomes harder to identify genuine threats and harder to confront actual bigotry. This tactic also silences Palestinians and those who stand with them. When empathy becomes suspect and when speaking about human rights becomes a liability, entire communities are pushed out of the conversation. Their stories are dismissed. Their suffering is minimized. Their voices are erased. And beyond that, a climate of fear takes hold. Students fear speaking on campus. Journalists fear asking questions. Ordinary people fear posting online. The result is not safety. The result is silence. Silence in the face of injustice has never been neutral. It allows harm to continue without challenge. It protects power rather than people. And it shifts the focus away from the lived experiences of Palestinians and toward policing language instead of addressing reality. The conversation becomes about vocabulary rather than human rights. It becomes about accusations rather than accountability. Yet despite these pressures, the world is changing. More people are beginning to understand the difference between antisemitism and anti-Zionism. They are learning that opposing a government’s actions is not the same as opposing a people. They are recognizing that solidarity with Palestinians is not an attack on Jewish identity. They are seeing that naming injustice is not hatred. It is responsibility. Today, the task before us is clarity. If we are to confront real antisemitism, we must protect the integrity of the word. If we are to pursue justice, we must allow space for truth. And if we are to build a future rooted in dignity, we must refuse to let language be used as a shield against accountability. The question now is whether the world will continue to accept this confusion or whether it will finally demand honesty and courage in the conversations that matter most.

In cities across Iran, millions of people have marched in support of their government and to protest violence that foreign intelligence agencies have been instigating in the latest Western push for regime change. Dr. Mohammad Marandi joins hosts Nora Barrows-Friedman and Ali Abunimah to discuss these developments. He's a professor of comparative literature at the University of Tehran and a renowned geopolitical analyst.

Sonic Café, welcome to the era of the Midnight Special, a time when vinyl records were the thing, and thirty-three and a third album was king. I’m Scott Clark and this is episode 467. The Midnight Special aired from 1972 to 1981 featuring live bands of the era in a 90-minute late night format. This time the Sonic Café presents a thin slice of that time, every song in this mix was released between 1969 and 76. Tune in your radio during then and you might have heard one of these songs for the very first time. Listen for the Rolling Stones, J. Geils Band, Doobie Brothers, Led Zeppelin, John Lennon, Rod Stewart and the Faces, of course many more. Presented with the vinyl crackle everyone heard when the needle hit the record. Very cool. Oh, and there’s more, comedian Nate Bargatze is here to inform us that Reading is the Key to Being Smart, also Shane Gillis let’s us know that becoming republican, is a thing that grows on you, and finally the Sonic Café presents a list of seventies artists who hit the top 40 just once.
