This week, we provide audio from a special presentation of two Israeli War resisters who were travelling across Canada shedding light on their bold
decision to refuse military service in protest of Israel’s occupation
of Palestine and its ongoing violence in Gaza.
Einat Gerlitz and Tal Mitnick are leading figures in a growing wave of
dissent among Israeli youth, challenging the brutal military
occupation and advocating for Palestinian liberation. Both of them
have paid the price for their stand, enduring time in Israeli military
prisons for their refusal to participate in what they call a violent
system that perpetuates apartheid and genocide. Their actions
have sparked a global conversation about the vital role of war
resisters in the fight for human rights and a free Palestine.
They are also examples of the call to others in military service during illegal wars to Abandon the Battlefield, a major activist call by the Centre for Research on Globalization. So this week, we thought we would give you the entire presentation by these two heroic individuals at the Hope Mennonite Church, in Winnipeg, Manitoba on March 20, 2025.
Our guest is Christopher Towler, PhD. He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at California State University, Sacramento. He is the Director of the Black Voter Project, Co-Founder of Black Insights Research and the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics.
In the first half of the show, we talk about the data that allows us to draw rather different conclusions than many folks had when going into the most recent presidential election. Many narratives were chronicled that are not ultimately supported by the polling of Black people around this country.
In the second half of the show, we discuss the polling data since the election and what conclusions we can draw from it. We also examine some positive aspects of the data uncovered by Dr. Towler and how the progressive minds in this country can implement it into their strategies moving forward.
Our Way Black History Fact covers the real reason the Statue of Liberty has chains on her feet.
It's a hyper energy show for as long as snarf can handle it as we look at a forgotten children's icon of the past Breezy The Bunny. Some soothing sounds of a guy who plays 50 guitars and some classic motown given a "treatment" in the Limburger Lounge.

Francesca Albanese is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories. She was in London, England, when Israel broke the Cease Fire in Gaza on March 18, 2022, and killed more than 400 people in that first night.
She was being interviewed on Channel4News on the topic of genocide. And I’m presenting this half hour with minimal edits to show how many challenges an interviewer needs to build into the exchange in order to avoid the accusation of antisemitism. The interview is dated March 18 and, just a week later, had over a quarter million views.

In Part 1 of this interview, she talks about what is overlooked about the skills women bring to many kinds of jobs that are gendered female, the punishing conditions they often face, the paucity of research on them, and the value of their knowledge.
In Part 2, she explains some of the common pitfalls of gendered research about work - and discusses some of the issues that arise when women enter traditionally male occupations.

This week on Sea Change Radio, we highlight a scenario that is constantly being played out in cities all over the world as humankind continues to encroach upon wildlife habitat. This time, however, the dynamic is a little bit unusual as large chinook salmon are finding their way into small urban creeks in downtown San Jose, California. Today we are speaking with environmental writer and fisherman Jeremy Miller as he recounts a piece he recently penned for Sierra Magazine. We try to unearth the mystery of how these fish ended up in a major metropolitan area, look at federal protections which differ based upon a fish’s origin, and discuss the role of the local water district in all of this.
