This week's edition of Backbeat features a couple of records where the back-up players became more famous than the headliners, some U.S. records that found greater acceptance in the U.K., an early record by a Toronto native who became very successful, but under-appreciated, at Motown and a rockabilly pioneer who chose the wrong place to live, career wise anyway.

Boycotting Israel is more than a consumer choice, it’s a moral stance, a global act of resistance, and a deeply personal message to Palestinians that their lives, dignity, and struggle matter. It is a rejection of complicity in a system that has, for decades, denied Palestinians their basic rights through military occupation, apartheid policies, and economic exploitation. By refusing to support companies and institutions that profit from or enable these injustices, individuals around the world are saying: We will not be silent. We will not be complicit. This form of nonviolent resistance draws inspiration from historic movements like the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa and the civil rights movement in the United States. It challenges the normalization of oppression by disrupting the flow of money, reputation, and legitimacy to those who uphold it. Whether it’s refusing to buy products from companies like HP, McDonald’s, or Starbucks, whose ties to Israeli military operations or settlement expansion have been documented, or advocating for divestment from arms manufacturers like Elbit Systems, every act of boycott chips away at the infrastructure of impunity. To Palestinians, these actions are not abstract. They are felt. They are seen. They are heard. In refugee camps, in besieged Gaza, in occupied East Jerusalem, and across the diaspora, the message resonates: You are not alone. Every boycott is a declaration that the world is watching that the world cares, and that the world is willing to act. It’s a way of amplifying Palestinian voices that are too often silenced, of honoring their resilience, and of refusing to let their suffering be reduced to statistics or headlines. Boycotting also serves as a tool for education and mobilization. It invites people to ask questions: Why are these companies being targeted? What is happening in Palestine? How are our governments and institutions complicit? It opens space for dialogue, for solidarity across movements, and for building coalitions that connect Palestinian liberation to broader struggles for racial, economic, and environmental justice. In a world where corporations and governments often prioritize profit over people, boycotting is a way to reclaim agency. It’s a reminder that our choices matter, that what we buy, where we invest, and who we support can either uphold injustice or challenge it. It’s not about perfection; it’s about intention. It’s about aligning our values with our actions and refusing to be passive in the face of genocide, apartheid, and displacement. Ultimately, boycotting Israel is a call to conscience. It’s a refusal to accept the status quo. It’s a demand for accountability. And most importantly, it’s a gesture of love and solidarity, a way of saying to Palestinians: We see you. We hear you. We stand with you.

Socrates’ Way: Seven Masterkeys to Using Your Mind to the Utmost Socrates of Athens, who lived before the Common Era, is respected as one of the greatest independent thinkers of all time. Socrates himself refused to be recognized as a teacher. Instead, Plato, his well-known student and reporter of Socrates’ dialogues, tells us he asked to be seen as a “midwife of ideas.” Socrates’ passion to achieve self-understanding, and the proper ways to live, continues to be studied and emulated to this day. Socrates recommends “The Trojan Women,” by Euripides. Ron Gross recommends “The Clouds,” by Aristophanes. Originally Broadcast: January 13, 2003

This week on the Global Research News Hour we are taking on major crimes of disinformation in Western media regarding the 21 month assault on the people of Gaza, which conveniently distorts it to the point here Israelis are the victims and the Palestinians who die by the tens of thousands are all Hamas.

And in our second half hour, Jason Toney of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East shows up to introduce listeners to the latest publication from The Breach entitled When Genocide Wasn’t News: How Canadian Media Covered up the Destruction of Gaza
