"Climate change has already made the United States poorer" Arizona Economics Professor Derek Lemoine reports. How could carbon from our tailpipes make the sea acidic? Exactly how does that work? Tulane Chemist Bruce Gibb explains with a great 15 minute mini-lecture on Radio Ecoshock.

I want to take the opportunity to counter the deluge of lies being spread about Venezuela by the loyal scribes of the American Empire. The agents of empire are a tricky bunch, right now they're even trying to put the Shah back into power in Iran, but we're going to set the record straight. Venezuela is an independent, sovereign socialist republic and continues to defy the empire's attempts at theft and intimidation.

In today’s political climate, few terms are thrown around with as much force, and as much confusion, as antisemitism and anti-Zionism. They are often spoken in the same breath, treated as interchangeable, or used to shut down conversations before they even begin. But these two concepts are not the same, and understanding the difference between them is essential for anyone who cares about truth, justice, and honest public discourse. Antisemitism is a form of hatred. It is prejudice, discrimination, or hostility directed at Jewish people because they are Jewish. It has a long, painful history, one marked by violence, exclusion, scapegoating, and genocide. Antisemitism is real, dangerous, and must be confronted wherever it appears. It targets people for their identity, their culture, their faith, and their existence. It is a moral wrong with no justification. Anti Zionism, on the other hand, is a political position. It is a critique, or rejection, of the political ideology that supports the establishment and maintenance of a Jewish nation state in historic Palestine. Anti Zionism challenges state policies, systems of governance, and the consequences of those policies for Palestinians. It is not about religion. It is not about ethnicity. It is not about Jewish identity. It is about power, land, displacement, and the political structures that shape life and death in the region. The confusion between these two terms is not accidental. In many political spaces, the line between antisemitism and anti Zionism has been deliberately blurred. Some institutions and advocacy groups argue that criticizing Zionism or even criticizing the Israeli government is inherently antisemitic. This framing collapses a complex political ideology into a single identity, making it nearly impossible to discuss human rights violations, occupation, or the lived experiences of Palestinians without being accused of bigotry. But conflating these terms does more than distort the conversation, it harms everyone involved. It weakens the fight against real antisemitism by stretching the definition so far that it loses meaning. It silences Palestinians and their allies by labeling their calls for justice as hate speech. And it prevents honest, necessary debate about policies that have shaped decades of conflict, displacement, and suffering. To be clear: Opposing antisemitism is a moral obligation. Critiquing Zionism is a political stance. These two things can coexist. They often do. Many Jewish scholars, activists, and communities around the world are themselves anti Zionist, rooted in ethical, religious, or historical reasons. Their voices remind us that Jewish identity is not monolithic, and that dissent is not betrayal. Likewise, many people who critique Zionism do so out of a commitment to universal human rights, not out of hatred for any group. Understanding the difference between antisemitism and anti Zionism is not just an academic exercise, it is a step toward clearer dialogue, deeper empathy, and a more honest reckoning with the realities of the present moment. It allows us to confront genuine hatred without silencing legitimate political critique. It allows us to defend Jewish communities from bigotry while also defending Palestinian communities from injustice. And it allows us to speak truthfully about power without fear of being misunderstood, or deliberately misrepresented. This conversation matters. Because clarity matters. Because justice matters. Because words shape the world we live in. Welcome to This Week in Palestine.

The war that the United States has invoked in what is often called the “War On Terror” is unusual in many ways. One of those ways is that this war is being fought against a network that is spread out in many unsuspecting and obscure places. It is not being fought as many wars have been in the past, directly against another county. Dr. John Arquilla, is a professor of defense analysis and co-director of the justify on Terrorism at the Naval Post-Graduate School in Monterey, California. In this program we talk with Professor Arquilla about the fighting tactics employed by networks as opposed to countries, the threats they pose, and some of the war tactics used against these networks. John Arquilla recommends “Kim,” by Rudyard Kipling. Originally Broadcast: June 21, 2005

Our discussion with Kyle Falbo—Math and Computer Science Lecturer and Educational Technology Application Expert at Sonoma State University—focuses on how AI-enhanced teaching and learning tools (ChatGPT, Google NotebookLM, Khanmigo and others) are being explored and implemented at SSU. Our discussion also includes: the possible risks and benefits of this new technology, how AI-assisted tools can be used outside of educational institutions by life-long learners and critical thinkers, and how the future might unfold as we experience living with AI.

Bob and Julia interview each other and discuss a number of topics related to critical thinking that have been on their minds for years, including: What does our show’s name ("Thinking Clearly") mean to you, and how does that name represent our show? Should beliefs and opinions meet the same standards as logical arguments? Is persuasion appropriate in critical thinking? For you, what are the most frustrating aspects of our current state of information and political environments?
