Historian Iain Boal tells the story of The Beginning of the Nuclear Age (ONE of TWO) The Italian physicist Enrico Fermi set off the first nuclear chain reaction in an underground tennis-court at the University of Chicago in December 1942. His experiment led directly to the building of the plutonium bomb that destroyed the city of Nagasaki. There are competing claims as to the beginning of the nuclear age. Was it the day of Trinity, was it Hiroshima, or was it Fermi with his willingness to risk a nuclear explosion in the middle of a crowded city. But more important than the date is the need to comprehend the fundamental change that the beginning of the nuclear age has brought about. Albert Einstein said that the unleashed power of the atom has changed everything save our modes of thinking; and "thus we drift toward unparalleled catastrophe." Iain Boal's story is intriguing because it places this quote into a new context. He begins by briefly setting back the clock - reminding us of the earliest militant resistance to the beginning of the industrial age. Iain Boal was educated at Oxford, Cambridge and London Universities. He has taught at Harvard and Stanford and is affiliated with the Geography Department at UC Berkeley. Recorded in March 2002 at a series of TUC Radio events where scientists and historians met with a small circle of friends. They gave previews of projects that had not yet appeared in any public space.

This week we have some songs about soldiers coming home, or just about home in general, from the likes of Dinah Washington, Bill Monroe, Soulstack, and the Silvertone Singers. We'll also hear Johnny Cash reminisce about a flood, Slim Gaillard's ode to the record shop and husband-and-wife team Texas Ruby and Curly Fox.

Before we begin today’s episode of This Week in Palestine, we must pause to mark a political moment that reverberates far beyond city limits. Zohran Mamdani has just been elected mayor of New York City—a victory that defies precedent, expectation, and the machinery of power itself. He didn’t just win an election. He dismantled a narrative. Mamdani defeated billionaires, lobbyists, and even the sitting president’s preferred candidate. He did so not by softening his stance, but by sharpening it. He refused to be silent on Palestine. He refused to visit Israel. He refused to play the game of appeasement. And for that, he was smeared, accused, and targeted. But the people of New York chose principle over propaganda. They chose clarity over compromise. His victory is more than symbolic. It signals a shift in American political discourse—a shift that centers justice, affordability, and international accountability. It tells us that being pro-Palestine is no longer political suicide. It is political courage. And that courage brings us to the heart of today’s episode. We turn now to a clip titled “Professor Exposes Secret Origins of the Israel Project,” featuring Dr. Yakov M. Rabkin—a historian whose work challenges the very foundation of Zionism. Rabkin, professor emeritus at the University of Montreal, argues that Zionism was not born in the Holy Land, but imported from Europe as a colonial ideology. He writes that Zionism is “a radical break from Jewish tradition,” rooted not in theology but in 19th-century European nationalism. He reveals how early Zionists formed alliances with antisemites—not out of shared values, but shared goals: to remove Jews from Europe. And he documents how traditional Jewish communities overwhelmingly rejected Zionism, seeing it as a betrayal of spiritual identity and ethical responsibility. Rabkin’s critique is not anti-Jewish. It is deeply Jewish. It is rooted in exile, humility, and the belief that justice cannot be built on dispossession. So as we reflect on Mamdani’s win—a mayor who centers Palestine in his politics—we also reflect on the deeper history that brought us here. A history of ideas imported from Europe. A history of resistance erased. A history that demands to be retold.
