The United States' unwavering loyalty to Israel has come at a devastating cost—one paid in Palestinian lives, displacement, and suffering. For decades, the U.S. has provided billions in military aid, diplomatic cover, and political backing, ensuring that Israel remains shielded from accountability, even as its actions in Gaza and the West Bank grow increasingly brutal. This loyalty has manifested in unconditional arms shipments, vetoes against UN resolutions condemning Israeli war crimes, and the suppression of pro-Palestinian activism within the U.S. itself. Even as international courts begin to recognize Israel’s violations of human rights, Washington remains hesitant to impose consequences. However, cracks are beginning to form. Public opinion in the U.S. is shifting, with growing numbers of Americans questioning their government’s blind support for Israel, especially as images of mass starvation, bombed hospitals, and murdered civilians flood social media. Younger generations, in particular, are rejecting the traditional narrative, demanding an end to military funding and calling for Palestinian liberation. Despite this shift, the suffering continues. Palestinians are being arrested for protesting, students are punished for speaking out, and activists are silenced. The cost of U.S. loyalty to Israel is measured in destroyed homes, lost futures, and the blood of innocent civilians. The question remains: how much longer will this loyalty endure before justice prevails?

Sonic Café, that was the legendary tenor sax man Joe Henderson with Soulville to kick off our trip Back to the Jazz Club. It’s been awhile since we’ve visited, even though it’s just down the stairs to the basement here at the Sonic Café. Hey, I’m your host Scott Clark and this is episode 437. So yeah, this time the Sonic Café goes Back to the Jazz Club, as we present a great mix of mostly vintage jazz, with a couple of modern tracks tossed in along the way. Listen for Horace Silver, Anita O’Day with Just in Time, the Bobby Sanabria Big Band, the amazing Art Pepper, David Sanborn, Elise Trouw, with a great solo acoustic take on the Girl from Ipanema. Plus Sonny Stitt with the amazing Bennie Green on trombone, and ahh the list goes on. Oh and listen for piano man Bill Evans with his take on how jazz musicians can easily play rock, but rock musicians can’t play jazz, an interesting observation, followed by Bill playing what he calls the Twelve Tone Tune, I guess just to mess with rock folks a bit. So yeah, all that and more as the Sonic Café goes back to the jazz club, let’s dive in with Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, this is Moanin’ and we’re the Sonic Café.

Revolutionary Heart, The Life of Clarina Nichols and the Pioneering Crusade for Women’s Rights The life of Clarina Nichols and her work in the early women’s rights movement of the United States has been greatly overlooked. As one of the country’s first female newspaper editors and stump speakers, Clarina Nichols spoke out for temperance, abolition and women’s rights at a time when doing so could get a woman killed. Unlike other activists, she personally experienced some of the cruelest sufferings that a married woman of her day could know. In her pursuit for justice she traveled westward facing all of the challenges of being a single mother and a women’s rights activist of her day with good humor and resourcefulness. Clarina Nichols was portrayed by Diane Eickhoff in this Chautauquan style interview. We began when I asked Clarina about her childhood. http://clarinanichols.googlepages.com/home Clarina Nichols recommends “The Sexes Throughout Nature (Pioneers of the woman’s movement),” by Antoinette Louisa Brown Blackwell.
