Podcasts about Rachel Corrie

Nasser presents a commemoration of Rachel Corrie, an American nonviolence activist, diarist, and member of the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement (ISM). Rachel was killed by an Israeli armoured bulldozer on March 16, 2003, at the age of 23, during the height of the Second Intifada. Nasser shares excerpts from Rachel's writings and audio recordings, where she spoke about nonviolent activism, human rights, and her advocacy for the Palestinian people under occupation. These reflections centred around her personal experiences and the impact of her time in Rafah, Gaza. For more on Rachel, visit rachelcorriefoundation.org.For info on upcoming events and actions, follow APAN and Free Palestine Melbourne.Catch daily broadcast updates via Let's Talk Palestine. 'I'd Rather Be Dancing (Rachel Corrie's Song)' performed Jim Page. The lyrics of this song are based on letters Rachel Corrie wrote to her parents before she was tragically killed. Rachel was attempting to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian doctor's home when the incident occurred.

Ralph welcomes Middle East expert and executive VP of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Trita Parsi, to fill us in on the consequences of Israel boobytrapping pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon and how those tactics have the potential to blow back on us in the United States. Then we welcome back surgeon and humanitarian, Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who has worked in Gaza during the Israeli assault, to update us on his efforts to get the Biden Administration to convince Israel to stop the killing. Trita Parsi is the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and the co-founder and former President of the National Iranian American Council. He is an expert on US-Iranian relations, Iranian foreign policy, and the geopolitics of the Middle East, and has worked for the Swedish Permanent Mission to the UN, where he served in the Security Council, handling the affairs of Afghanistan, Iraq, Tajikistan, and Western Sahara, and in the General Assembly's Third Committee, addressing human rights in Iran, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Iraq. He has authored three books on US foreign policy in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Iran and Israel— Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Iran, Israel and the United States, A Single Roll of the Dice – Obama's Diplomacy with Iran, and Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy.We're in a very sad situation in which we have a president who has been sitting on the front lines of American foreign policy for one-fifth of America's history, who thinks that he knows everything best, and clearly doesn't seem to be listening to anyone. And there's plenty of discontent inside the Biden administration itself—and people appear to have just given up and are waiting for the elections—but there's no clear signs yet that there won't necessarily be much of a change even after that.Trita ParsiLet's first remember that if any other entity had done this to Israel—or to us—we would not have hesitated for a second. We would have called it an act of terrorism, and we would have called it an act of war.Trita ParsiDr. Feroze Sidhwa is a trauma and critical care surgeon as well as a Northern California Veterans Affairs general surgeon, and he is Associate Professor of Surgery at the California Northstate University College of Medicine. Dr. Sidhwa served at the European Hospital in Khan Younis in March and April of this year, and he has done prior humanitarian work in Haiti, the West Bank, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe. Dr. Sidhwa and 45 other American doctors and nurses who have served in Gaza recently sent a letter exhorting President Biden, VP Harris, and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden to effect an immediate ceasefire.It's hard to appreciate, but really literally everything in Gaza that makes a place a society has been destroyed. I think of it in three levels— at the very base is agriculture, food production, and housing, at the level above that is healthcare, and at the level above that is things that are for a higher level of society, education, arts, industry, whatever. That top level is gone. Literally every university in Gaza has been obliterated, physically destroyed…The hospital system is almost completely useless right now…the functionality of the hospitals is very little more than a four walled space in which people can walk into and ask for a doctor to put bandages on them. And then even the lowest level…something like 85 or 90 % of the water sanitation and hygiene infrastructure in Gaza has been destroyed.Dr. Feroze SidhwaThis is just outrageous. I mean, why are we doing this even to ourselves? Is it worth corrupting the entire executive department of the United States so that we can murder more children? Is that what Americans want? I don't think so.Dr. Feroze SidhwaLet's talk about Lebanon itself, not just Hezbollah. This is war on Lebanon—that has a dysfunctional government, to be sure— but it is a state that the U.S. is allied with in a way, supplying modest weapons to the Lebanese army, and France has had long relations with Lebanon going back to the mandate period. In the U.S., this is a whole new constituency where they're losing relatives and friends.Ralph NaderMore links to the letter sent by Dr. Sidhwa and his colleagues:To Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in CanadaTo Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the UKHow to email the PresidentHow to call the PresidentWrite or Call the White HouseIn Case You Didn't Hear with Francesco DeSantisNews 9/25/241. On September 11th, Senator Patty Murray and Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal sent a letter to the Biden administration demanding “an immediate, transparent, credible, and thorough independent U.S. investigation…into the killing of [Ayşenur] Eygi,” the American citizen murdered by Israeli forces during a protest in the West Bank. Senator Murray and Representative Jayapal both represent Washington state, where Ms. Eygi attended university. In this letter, Murray and Jayapal also list the numerous American citizens killed by Israeli soldiers even before the current explosion of tensions in the region, ranging from Rachel Corrie in 2003 to Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022. Senator Bernie Sanders echoed this call in his own statement on September 13th. Despite this pressure, the administration has not launched an investigation. The government of Turkey however – where Ms. Eygi was born, though she moved the United States when she was less than a year old – will pursue charges against Israel in the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice, Reuters reports.2. The Intercept reports that the Uncommitted Movement will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. In their official statement, the Movement leaders write “Vice President Harris's unwillingness to shift on unconditional weapons policy or to even make a clear campaign statement in support of upholding existing U.S. and international human rights law has made it impossible for us to endorse her.” Harris proved unwilling to even meet with the Uncommitted leaders. This cold shoulder could have disastrous consequences, particularly in Michigan where Uncommitted garnered over 100,000 votes in the Democratic primaries.3. Boeing is again in crisis. On September 20th, the New York Post reported that the chief of the company's space unit, Ted Colbert, had been ousted after Boeing's Starliner capsule left astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore stranded on the International Space Station. This comes amid a massive strike by Boeing machinists, 96% of whom voted in favor of the strike per Ryan Simms of KOMO News. The New York Post adds that Boeing's shares have lost over 40% of their value so far this year.4. In more union related news, on September 18th, the Congressional Workers Union announced that “staff in the Office of Congressman Mark Pocan and Congresswoman Val Hoyle secured the first-ever Memorandums of Understanding…between congressional staff and their members.” These MOUs include salary increases, back pay, and immediate cost-of-living adjustments. The union will continue to press for the first ever Congressional office collective bargaining agreement.5. On September 12th, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau “filed a proposed order against student loan servicer Navient for its years of failures and lawbreaking.” If approved by the court, this order would permanently “remove Navient from a market where it, among other illegal actions, steered numerous student loan borrowers into costly repayment options…illegally deprived student borrowers of opportunities to enroll in more affordable income-driven repayment plans and forced them to pay much more than they should have.” Additionally, Navient would be forced to pay out $100 million to harmed borrowers, on top of a $20 million penalty. CFPB Director Rohit Chopra is quoted saying “For years, Navient's top executives profited handsomely by exploiting students and taxpayers…By banning the notorious student loan giant from federal student loan servicing and ensuring the winddown of these operations, the CFPB will finally put an end to the years of abuse.” Navient, formerly Sallie Mae, is described as “a repeat offender with a long history of regulatory violations,” and when the CFPB first took legal action against the company in 2017, it was the largest student loan servicer in the country.6. More Perfect Union's Jordan Zakarin reports the National Labor Relations Board has ruled that Starbucks illegally closed all three of its Ithaca, New York locations and that the NLRB “ordered that those stores be re-opened, with the unionized staff re-hired and given 16 months of backpay.” Yet, Zakarin notes that because this was decided by an administrative law judge, Starbucks can and more than likely will appeal this decision. This case starkly exemplifies why the capitalist class feels so threatened by the newly reinvigorated NLRB.7. A deeply disturbing story sheds light on sexual assault by CIA officers in postings around the world. The AP reports Brian Jeffrey Raymond, a longtime CIA agent, was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for drugging, photographing, and sexually assaulting more than two dozen women in postings around the globe. Yet Raymond's case is just the tip of the iceberg. “[A]nother veteran CIA officer faces…charges in Virginia for allegedly reaching up a co-worker's skirt and forcibly kissing her during a drunken party in the office…Still another former CIA employee…is scheduled to face a jury trial next month on charges he assaulted a woman…at the agency's Langley, Virginia, headquarters. That case emboldened some two dozen women to come forward to authorities and Congress with accounts of their own of sexual assaults, unwanted touching and what they contend are the CIA's efforts to silence them.” Tellingly, even Raymond's own attorneys contended that his “quasi-military” work at the CIA in the years following 9/11 contributed to his “emotional callousness [and] objectification of other people,” that led to his preying upon women. It is well worth remembering that, once set in motion, dehumanization is not easily stopped.8. Amid an expansive corruption probe in New York City, Gothamist reports just how much the NYPD is receiving in overtime pay in the subway; whereas last year, this slice of overtime pay totaled $4 million in taxpayer money, this year it has ballooned to $155 million, a nearly 4,000% increase. Meanwhile the Mayor continues to slash budgets for essential city services, such as libraries.9. Rolling Stone reports the Crypto lobby is spending gargantuan sums of money to take out Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown – reportedly $32 million by the end of September, or $800,000 per day. Aware that their cause is unpopular, they are not running pro-Crypto ads, but instead spots that say his opponent will stop “illegal immigrants from taking Ohio's tax dollars.” As Luke Goldstein of the American Prospect puts it “Dems are getting played like a fiddle by crypto; Schumer caved to their demands to stop the bleeding and then crypto PACs said thanks we're still dropping $32 mil in OH to knock out your senate majority.”10. Finally, in a story featuring a dizzying array of the worst things imaginable, Bloomberg reports “The owner of the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania will invest $1.6 billion to revive it, agreeing to sell all the output to Microsoft…as the tech titan seeks…electricity for data centers to power [AI].” This story notes that “one of the site's two units permanently closed almost a half-century ago after the worst…nuclear accident” in American history, but Constellation Energy is “planning to reopen the other reactor, which shut in 2019 because it couldn't compete economically.” In other words, Microsoft is dumping money into a defunct nuclear power plant that has proven to be unsafe for the sole purpose of powering AI that has no proven benefits. Corporate greed caused a catastrophe at Three Mile Island before. Corporate hubris could easily cause another.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

The massacre on the USS Liberty demonstrates the long history of betrayal and murder of Americans by Israel. Thanks to independent journalist James Li and his interview with Phil Tourney a sailor who survived the Israeli attack, we share how Israel's disdain for American lives and US complicity in that disdain goes back decades beyond Rachel Corrie. We also talk about recent actions by VFP members during our week to focus on Gaza.

Ralph welcomes back Jack Dangermond, co-founder of Esri—Environmental Systems Research Institute, the leader in GIS mapping technology to open up his book, “The Power of Where: A Geographic Approach to the World's Greatest Challenges.” Then John R. McArthur, journalist, author and publisher of Harper's returns to discuss a recent study by neuroscientists that concluded that students absorb and retain information better on paper than they do on screens and what this means for the future of education and society as a whole.Jack Dangermond is President of Esri—Environmental Systems Research Institute—and is recognized as one of the most influential people in the field of geographic information system—GIS—technology. Jack, along with his wife Laura, founded Esri in 1969. He is the author of The Power of Where: A Geographic Approach to the World's Greatest Challenges.Geography is everything. It's what happens, when it happens, in some cases why it happens, but most importantly, where it happens.Jack DangermondI believe geography and maps—the language of geography—are a new kind of way to understand the complexity of our world. Our world is complex. All these relationships—the world is hard to fathom. And using these interactive mapping tools, people can learn a lot in a short amount of time. They can see context, as well as all the content that they're learning in their various disciplines.Jack DangermondYears ago, Jack called up and said—help us apply GIS to civic action, civic advocacy…We used GIS techniques, applied federal government data, and in a report we came out with in the 1990s—it was called “Racial Redlining: A Study Of Racial Discrimination By Banks And Mortgage Companies In The United States”—the map showed the worst-case lending pattern as prima facie evidence of unlawful discrimination against low-income areas in mortgage lending. And so, the applications for civic work still need a lot of attention. I don't think the potential has been reached anywhere near what it could be, especially as the field and the technology just explodes with innovation.Ralph NaderJohn R. MacArthur is the president of Harper's, a journalist, and the author of several books, including Second Front: Censorship and Propaganda in the 1991 Gulf WarCommon sense tells you just instinctively—well, if somebody's looking at a page in a book or in a newspaper, there's less distractions and there's more focus on what you're actually reading, whereas on a screen you have a tendency to get distracted and the lighting is not good and so on and so forth. But now the obvious has been proven. And I get the sense that they're almost ashamed. They just don't want to address it. Or they're in so deep with big tech.John R. MacArthurIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 9/11/241. Zeteo reports “Israeli forces allegedly shot and killed US citizen Ayşenur Eygi…at a demonstration in the West Bank village of Beita…The 26-year-old was there alongside other Americans who have been demonstrating against illegal settlement activity and providing a nonviolent protective presence for Palestinians…Ayşenur…was shot at the same weekly demonstration where American teacher and volunteer Amado Sison was shot last month.” This piece also notes that Eygi was in the West Bank with the International Solidarity Movement, the same group that American activist Rachel Corrie was affiliated with when she was murdered by an IDF bulldozer in 2003. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken decried this incident as “unprovoked and unjustified,” saying “No one…should be shot and killed for attending a protest. No one should have to put their life at risk just for expressing their views,” per CNN. According to Yahoo News, President Biden has not talked to Eygi's family, and neither he nor Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris have issued a statement on Eygi's death.2. Congressman Jamaal Bowman, who was recently primaried by an AIPAC-backed challenger after being outspent a by margin of seven-to-one (per CNN), has issued a statement in light of the revelations that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu sabotaged negotiations for a hostage and ceasefire deal in July. This statement reads “Netanyahu has continuously derailed negotiations and added new demands to stall for his own political benefit, with zero regard for the immense death toll and scale of human suffering…His goal is not to bring the hostages home or bring peace and safety to the region…Every life is precious and should be treated as such…My thoughts are with the families of the dead hostages, who have suffered an unimaginable loss, and with the people of Gaza, who are facing the horrors of genocide and being killed indiscriminately every day.”3. Variety reports a group of prominent Hollywood actors are leading a new initiative to pressure the Biden administration to end illegal arms transfers to Israel. This new push, growing out of the Artists4Ceasefire collective, is led by Mark Ruffalo, Cynthia Nixon, Mahershala Ali, and Ilana Glazer. Ruffalo writes “Our demand is simple — our elected leaders must enforce existing U.S. and international humanitarian laws that prohibit the use of military assistance to commit ‘grave human rights violations.'” Nixon adds “Words without action will not end the unbearable suffering…Enough is enough. The global call for a permanent ceasefire — supported domestically by an overwhelming majority of Americans — must be answered.” Despite overwhelming public support for peace, advocating for Palestinian rights has been a dangerous proposition in Hollywood since October 7th, with “A top movie agent, an Oscar winner, and the star of Scream VII [having] all been demoted or fired for calling out Israel's bombing of Gaza,” per Rolling Stone.4. In a chilling story from our Northern neighbor, the Ottawa Citizen reports “The Ukrainian Canadian Congress says it plans to go to court to stop the federal government from making public the names of alleged Nazi war criminals who fled to [Canada].” As this piece explains, “At issue are documents created by a 1986 federal government war-crimes commission…One of the documents is titled ‘Master List of alleged war criminals resident in Canada… [including] names of alleged war criminals as well as Nazi scientists and technicians” who fled to the country. The total number is around 900. These records have been requested under Canada's equivalent to the Freedom of Information Act. The government must now decide whether or not to disclose these names. According to this article, the Canadian government has consulted with leaders of Canada's Ukrainian community, but not with Holocaust survivors or scholars.5. In a major win for the Biden Treasury Department, the IRS announced last week that it has clawed back $1.3 billion from rich tax dodgers since last fall, per AP. Since 2023, the IRS has “launched a series of initiatives aimed at pursuing…taxpayers with more than $1 million in income and more than $250,000 in recognized tax debt.” According to officials, approximately 80% of the 1,600 tax delinquent millionaires have now made a payment.6. More positive news comes to us from the union front. The Orlando Weekly's McKenna Schueler reports “Florida's anti-union law, SB 256, has forced dozens of public sector unions to ask the state for recertification elections—and so far, they're all crushing it. Out of 26 elections with final results reported, workers in all but 1 have voted to keep their unions alive & intact.” Yet despite the unions' overwhelming victories in these re-certification elections, “more than 68,000 public employees in Florida have lost their union representation - NOT because they voted to get rid of their unions, but because their union had low membership and didn't petition for a recertification election.” 7. In more red-state union news, Washington Post Labor Reporter Lauren Kaori Gurley reports “Apple retail workers in Oklahoma City secured a tentative union contract, the 2nd store to do so at Apple.” This contract between Apple and the workers, represented by the Communications Workers of America, is said to include “pay increases of up to 11.5% over 3 years, severance & store closure protections [and] worker involvement in scheduling.”8. Yet not all is well on the union front. According to NJ.com a “civil war” is brewing between the United Autoworkers and the AFL-CIO at Atlantic City casinos over the UAW's demand to end indoor smoking. According to this piece, many of the dealers at these casinos, represented by the UAW, have contracted emphysema or even cancer despite not smoking themselves due to their constant exposure to secondhand smoke. Meanwhile the state AFL-CIO, led by Charlie Wowkanech, is standing with the casinos against a proposed ban. The UAW's Daniel Vicente is quoted saying “Dealing with Charlie was like dealing with some lame-ass mafia guy – it felt like a shakedown…We're planning to go to war with these other unions…We're coming straight at anyone who stands in the way of our people coming home safe.”9. Another story of betrayal comes from France. Al Jazeera reports “More than 100,000 left-wing demonstrators…have taken to the streets across France to protest President Emmanuel Macron's decision to appoint centre-right Michel Barnier as [Prime Minister], with left-wing parties accusing [Macron] of stealing legislative elections.” For the past two months, the French parliament has been hung due to legislative elections that left it divided into three blocs – the largest of which being the left-wing coalition. Yet despite a popular front alliance between Macron and the Left during the elections, Macron has now chosen to elevate a right-winger as PM in order to appease the far-right bloc led by Marine Le Pen. Al Jazeera notes that French pollster Elabe found that 74 percent of French people believed Macron had disregarded the results of the elections and 55 percent believe he has stolen them.10. Finally, the first debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris was held on Tuesday. Shortly before the debate, Harris finally released some concrete policy proposals on her website. These include vague pledges to reduce the cost of healthcare, increase the minimum wage, and protect the civil liberties of marginalized communities. Harris more clearly articulated her more conservative policies, including beefing up border security, increasing funding for law enforcement, challenging China on the world stage, and keeping weapons flowing to Israel. This suite of policies seems designed to correspond with her courtship of anti-Trump Republican voters, which has included touting the endorsement of Liz and Dick Cheney.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

In this powerful episode of Parallax Views, host J.G. Michael speaks with Dr. Assal Rad about the mainstream media's portrayal of the Gaza War and the ongoing anti-Palestinian bias in news coverage. Together, they break down the key narratives shaping how the public perceives the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how media outlets like the New York Times are influencing those perceptions. Highlights include: Media Bias in Gaza War Coverage: How mainstream media, particularly U.S. outlets, frame the conflict and marginalize Palestinian voices. Leaked NYT Memo: Analyzing The Intercept's explosive reporting on the leaked New York Times memo advising reporters on words to avoid when covering the Gaza War and how it shapes understanding of Israel's actions in Gaza. John Oliver's Criticism of Gaza War Coverage: Why it's a problem that a comedy show like Last Week Tonight is offering more critical coverage than respected news publications like the New York Times. The Killings of Shireen Abu Akleh & Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi: Discussing the deaths of these journalists and what it reveals about the media's handling of violence against Palestinians and, in the case of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, an American citizen. Also noted is the fact that Eygi is not the first American citizen killed in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Rachel Corrie is also covered in this regard. Impact of Language in Conflict Reporting: How the framing of words and phrases influences global perception and policy. Diversionary Tactics in Discourse Around Israel/Palestine and Gaza: The use of deflection techniques to shift attention away from criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza and focus on other narratives, such as accusations of antisemitism or emphasis on Hamas. Conflating Criticism of Israel with Antisemitism: How framing any critique of Israeli actions during the Gaza War as antisemitism undermines genuine efforts to combat antisemitism and stifles meaningful discussion about human rights. Blaming Iran for the Gaza War: Why portraying Iran as the puppet-master behind the continuation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a problematic narrative that oversimplifies the situation and distracts from the core issues driving the Gaza War. We talk about the concept of the "Axis of Resistance" in this regard and what it is and isn't. Dr. Rad provides insight into how media bias affects public understanding of the Gaza War and what can be done to promote more balanced, human-centered reporting. This episode offers a critical examination of media coverage during one of the most significant ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

“I was still a true believer, but doubts were starting to creep in at a certain point when you saw a large segment of our coalition cheering the brutal death of Rachel Corrie under a Caterpillar D9 bulldozer. And then, you know, a month later, cheering for the death of Tom Hurndall who was killed protecting a Palestinian child from Israeli snipers and was shot in the head by an expert marksman looking through a scope.” Jonathan Kadmon is on the leadership team of Real Progressives and writes for the website. He also helps put out this podcast. Today, however, he is talking to Steve about his vast knowledge of Zionism, Palestine, and US support for Israel. Jonathan was raised in a Republican household and became a passionate supporter of Israel during his college years, when he was given training and taken on trips by powerful players in the Israel lobby. After growing up a Jew in the South, he now became part of a powerful community and embraced it with pride. He talks of his experiences and describes his increasing discomfort as discrepancies between fact and propaganda became too great to ignore. Steve, a vocal critic of the administration's role in the current genocide in Gaza, is regularly attacked for his views. Jonathan, having studied in Israel and been trained by AIPAC, says: “That stuff bounces off me like I was wearing body armor... I'm like, oh yeah, you're going to tell me I'm a self-hating Jew? Are you kidding me? My resume and my credentials here probably outstrip anything you have. And the fact of the matter is, I do this because I am a Jew and I'm proud of being a Jew. And I'm proud of my history and my heritage. I learned the lessons of my history and my heritage.” The discussion goes into historical and political manipulation by Zionist organizations to blur the lines between Jewish identity and support for Israel, the erasure of Palestinian history, and the media and political complicity in perpetuating the Zionist narrative. The episode includes profound insights into Holocaust education, which is intentionally designed to emphasize the trauma and neglect the political economy. Jonathan Kadmon is on the leadership team at Real Progressives, where he is a writer and a co-host of the weekly discussion group, Macro ‘n Chill. @JonathanKadmon on X

We spend this segment in Washington DC, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting for a series of diplomatic meetings starting Wednesday, with an address to congress, a meeting scheduled with President Joe Biden on Thursday, and then with former president Donald Trump this Friday in Mar-a-Lago. He's also expected to meet with Vice President Kamala Harris during his trip. We're first joined by Maria LaHood, the Deputy Legal Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights who has worked on legal projects related to justice in Palestine for decades, including on the Rachel Corrie legal case nearly 20 years ago. The Center for Constitutional Rights has urged the US Department of Justice to open a federal criminal investigation into the Israeli Prime Minister during his visit to the US, for his responsibility for genocide, war crimes, and torture, saying there is “overwhelming evidence” that, under Netanyahu, Israeli forces have committed these crimes against Palestinians during the nearly 10-month assault on Gaza.  Read CCR's complaint: https://ccrjustice.org/home/press-center/press-releases/ahead-netanyahu-visit-dc-center-constitutional-rights-calls-doj We stay in Washington DC, to bring on a Bay Area activist who's traveled to the capital in order to protest the Israeli Prime Minister's visit.

The International Solidarity Movement or ISM, which was an active protective presence in Palestine for many years in the earlier 2000s has returned. The perhaps-best known activist from that earlier round of International Solidarity Movement protective work was Rachel Corrie, a name many of our listeners are familiar with, because while putting her body in between an Israeli bulldozer at the home of a Palestinian family she was staying with in Rafah, the bulldozer drove over her, crushing her to death. Now, international activists are returning to provide a protective presence, with the same group – the International Solidarity Movement, now in the West Bank. A delegation from the Bay Area just returned from that protective presence work. We'll hear more from them later in the week, but today, we hear a brief reflection from one of those Bay Area activists who just returned, Maria Lewis.  —- Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post Preview: Bay Area Activists Return from Protective Work in the West Bank appeared first on KPFA.

Dan Roberts “The scariest thing for non-Jewish Americans in talking about Palestinian self-determination is the fear of being or sounding anti-Semitic. The people of Israel are suffering, and Jewish people have a long history of oppression. We still have some responsibility for that, but I think it's important to draw a firm distinction between the policies of Israel, as a state, and Jewish people. That's kind of a no-brainer, but there is very strong pressure to conflate the two.” - Rachel Corrie Dan Roberts Shortwave Report- www.outfarpress.com YouthSpeaksOut!- www.youthspeaksout.net

Gazze'deki soykırımdan en çok rahatsız olanlar arasında Yahudi Akademisyenler çoğunlukta. Bir tanesi Sydney Üniversitesi'nden Filistin'e destek çağrısında bulunurken şunları söylüyor; “İsrail'in işlediği suçlara karşı durmak ve dayanışma içinde olmamız çok önemli. Siyonistlerden ve İsrail'i destekleyenlere karşı ancak bu şekilde güçlü durabiliriz.” Ünlü Yahudi akademisyen Norman Finkelstein de JOEPolitics'e verdiği röportajda Netanyahu'nun, sanılanın aksine İsrail halkı tarafından çok da nefret edilmediğinden bahsederken şu ifadeyi kullandı; “İsrail'in halkı da devleti de kafayı yemiş!” diyor. İsrailli yerleşimcilerin terk edilen evleri kapışmalarından sonra Filistinli çobanların koyunlarına el koymaları akademisyenin haklı olduğunu gösteriyor. ** Gazze'yi öldürmeye çalışırken Dünya'yı dirilttiler. ABD, İsrail'in Filistin halkına yönelik soykırımında kesinlikle suç ortağı. Bu yüzden de soykırıma en büyük tepki ABD'den geliyor. Öğrencilerin yaptıkları takdire şayan, insanlığın en iyi yönlerini yansıtıyorlar ABD'li aktivistler, öğrencilerin engellemelere rağmen Gazze'ye destek protestolarını sürdüreceğini söylediler. Georgia Üniversitesi'nde bir öğrenci, mezuniyet töreninde Filistin bayrağı açtığı için ABD polisi tarafından tutuklandı. ABD'de Massachusetts Teknoloji Enstitüsü'nde çok sayıda öğrenci, Filistin ile dayanışma kampına katıldı ABD'nin Chicago şehrinde yer gök Filistin oldu. Japonya'daki üniversite öğrencileri de Gazze'ye destek veren küresel öğrenci hareketine katıldı. Washington, Olympia'daki Evergreen State Üniversitesi, ABD'de İsrail ile ilişkilerini sonlandıran ilk üniversite oldu. Kararı alan üniversite, İsrail buldozerlerinin ezdiği aktivist Rachel Corrie'nin okuluydu. ABD'deki Princeton Üniversitesi kampüsünde bir grup öğrenci, İsrail'in Gazze'deki sivilleri öldürmesi ve her türlü temel gıdadan mahrum bırakmasına tepki olarak açlık grevine başladı.

Rachel Corrie murió el 16 de marzo de 2003. Corrie viajó a Gaza para convertir su idealismo en acción y solidarizarse con los palestinos que viven bajo la ocupación israelí. Lo que vio allí la conmovió profundamente.

In our latest, we talk about the American empire and it's dissenters. We get into the anniversaries of the My Lai massacre, the murder of activist Rachel Corrie in Gaza, the Vietnam era self-immolation of Alice Herz and the U.S. invasion of Iraq. We also talk about who's (literally) fueling the Israeli war machine. -------------------- Outro- "That Flag Decal Won't Get You Into Heaven" by John Prine Links +Revealed: How the global oil industry is fueling Israel's war on Gaza (https://bit.ly/3IOKFhu) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: ⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast⁠⁠⁠ +Our rad website: ⁠⁠⁠https://greenandredpodcast.org/⁠⁠⁠ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.laborradionetwork.org/⁠⁠ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/ekY2AQ4d) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: ⁠⁠⁠https://bit.ly/DonateGandR⁠⁠⁠ This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

By Amy Goodman & Denis Moynihan Rachel Corrie died on March 16th, 2003. She went to Gaza to commit her idealism to action, in solidarity with Palestinians living under Israeli occupation. What she saw transformed her.

The Congress wants to ban Tik Tok so that is a good reason for Harvey and Jim to join Tik Tok to see why and we think we found out. It is all about the young people getting their news. Nothing is going to freak Congress out more than young people getting independent news. Then we talk about an article from Al Jazeera relating Rachel Corrie to Aaron Bushnell to Viola Liuzzo and other people recognized by the marginalized. We finish up wondering about the hullabaloo surrounding the Oscars and the movie Zone of Interest.

8 Mart, 1910 yılından bu yana kapitalist küresel sermayedarların kendi lehlerine manipüle ettikleri ilginç bir gün olarak, “Dünya Kadınlar Günü” adıyla kutlanmaktadır. 8 Mart, her yıl giderek daha fazla çelişkiyi, soruyu bünyesinde toplayarak ilerlemektedir. Soru: Kadına yönelik aile içi şiddette erkeğin rolü, Kadınlar Günü bildiri ve açıklamalarının rutin gündemini oluştururken, bu şiddette alkol, uyuşturucu, kumar, ekonomik zorluklar, haz ve şiddet kültürü pompalayan ekran terörü niçin gündem dışı tutulmaktadır? Soru: Erkek şiddeti söyleminin hizmet ettiği küresel, kültürel, ekonomik ve siyasi amaçlar var mıdır? Kadına yönelen şiddetin sadece aile içerisinde olmadığı aşikârdır. Erkek şiddeti söylemini, toplumsal bir nefret söylemi olarak topluma pompalayanlar şiddete uğrayan tüm kadınları gerçekten savunmakta mıdır? Meselâ İsrail'in katil paletleri altında ezilen Rachel Corrie hangi Kadınlar Günü Bildirisi'nde yerini almıştır? Rachel Corrie mi kadın değildir, yoksa İsrail'in işlediği cinayet mi şiddet olarak görülmemiştir? Türkiye'de 28 Şubat mağduru kadınlar kadın örgütlerinin gündeminde ne kadar yer tutmuştur? Tunus'ta örtündüğü için sahra cezaevlerine doldurulan binlerce kadın, Mısır darbesinde darbeciler tarafından öldürülen Esma, neden Kadınlar Günü'nde gündem edilmemiştir? Soru: Güya kadını koruyan kanunların, genç evlenmeleri sebebiyle eşlerine tecavüzcü damgası vurup, kendilerini çocuklarıyla yapayalnız ve birçok zorlukla baş başa bıraktığı kadınların da günü müdür Dünya Kadınlar Günü? Aileyi parçalamayı hedef edinen, kadınla erkeği birbirinin düşmanı olarak gören, kısır cinsiyetçi okumalarla alkol, kumar, ekran terörü gibi türlü etkeni bir kenara bırakıp, erkekliği şiddetin ana kaynağı olarak gösteren bir zihniyet kadına, erkeğe, çocuğa ve insanlığa mutluluk getirebilir mi?

As usual on Mondays, we focus the entirety of our show on the latest developments in Israel's war on Palestine, and people's resistance to that aggression. Today, we follow up on the Defense for Children International – Palestine v. Biden court case, where a federal judge dismissed the case but with language that agreed that Israel's violence seems to equate to a genocide, and urges the government to stop its “unflagging support” of Israel's war machine. We're in conversation with Maria LaHood, one of the lawyers with the Center for Constitutional Rights who is working on this court case. Maria has championed this work for decades, having been involved in the Rachel Corrie legal case in the mid 2000s.

From RachelCorrieFoundation.org, a reading of Rachel Corrie's emails to friends and family during her time volunteering with the International Solidarity Movement in Rafah. Rachel Corrie was an American college student and activist who spent winter quarter in Gaza sleeping next to water wells and protecting homes from IOF destruction. Her emails are witness to the policy of expulsion and dehumanization of the Israeli military. Rachel Corrie was killed in March 2003 when an Israeli Caterpillar D9R bulldozer ran over her while protecting the Nasrallah family's home from demolition. To date, no justice has been served to Corrie's family, neither Caterpillar nor Israel have been found liable for Corrie's death. This episode ends with Tom Dale's eyewitness account of the day of Corrie's death, and his comments regarding the court verdict against the Corrie family. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/uftp/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/uftp/support

To celebrate the holiday season - whatever and however you're celebrating - we're celebrating the life of Rachel Corrie, the 23 year-old American college student who was killed by Israeli Occupation Forces in 2003 while protecting a Palestinian home from being demolished. Rachel Corrie was born an activist, a true champion of the underdog. I am moved by the earnestness of her actions, by her openness and compassion for not only Palestinians, but for all in the world facing injustice. Rachel Corrie's story is both timeless - a student with a big heart intent on making a difference - and timely. The Israeli military that Rachel encountered 20 years ago has not changed. Nor has the narrative of the Israeli government. Her story is a crucial component of deconstructing the lies we have been told about Palestinians living in Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/uftp/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/uftp/support

In the 20 years since their daughter, Rachel, was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer while protesting the demolition of a Palestinian home in the Gaza Strip, Craig and Cindy Corrie have devoted their lives to her cause.

We begin our 300th (!!) show by acknowledging the on-going horror of what is occurring in Israel and Gaza following the horrendous October 7 terrorist attack. Relatedly, for this week's featured idealist, I highlight Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old American college student who was killed in 2003 as she attempted to protect the Gaza homes of…

Today we are going to try to talk about and be relevant about the very fluid and disastrous situation in Gaza. We are going to share the VFP statement, hear from Caitlin Johnstone, Al Jazeera, Krystal, and Saagar from Breaking Point with a dire warning, and try to give our take on our own United States inability to help this by negating UN calls for a cease-fire, sending two carrier groups to the region as a so-called deterrent and sending billions of arms to a well-armed country which apparently is conducting war crimes and genocide. We finish up with a song about a human rights hero: Rachel Corrie.

Chief of staff to U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell from 2001-2005, retired Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson talks frankly about the "special relationship" between the United States and Israel. Fear and intimidation lead the United States to ignore or condone human rights violations by Israel, even when U.S. lives are involved. Wilkerson discusses the parallels between the killing of U.S. peace activist Rachel Corrie 20 years ago by an Israeli soldier and Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh's death in 2022 in what many believe was an Israeli extra-judicial murder and says securing accountability for Abu Akleh's death is no more likely now than it has been for Rachel Corrie's family, whom he tried to assist when in the State Department. The wide-ranging conversation includes a discussion of the many factors in  the U.S. invasion of Iraq, including Israel, and the misdeeds and crimes of the CIA.

The Good Friday Agreement protects everyoneAt the beginning of the month Jeffrey Donaldson established a panel, which includes Peter Robinson, Arlene Foster and some business and legal people, to advise on the DUP's approach to the Windsor Framework. Some have interpreted this as Donaldson buying time until the other side of the local government elections on 18 May. Others believe that the panel will provide Donaldson with the fig leaf he needs to buy into Protocol 2.0, accept the Windsor Framework as a fait accompli, and go back into the Executive and Assembly.H-Blocks April 1998 by Pádraic WilsonPadráic Wilson hosts our guest spot on the Good Friday Agreement 25 years on. Here he is looking back on the H Blocks in April 1998. As Easter 1998 approached there was an air of anticipation on the wings of the H Blocks and in other prisons.There was also a level of caution that was based upon past experiences.From the outset of the peace process Republican prisoners had made it clear, publicly, that we were not a bargaining tool. Maintaining the support and confidence of the wider republican base was critical for the development of the peace process.  Resolving the issue of prisoners was an important part of that. However, more important would be addressing the core causes of conflict, not tinkering with some of the consequences.Israel's apartheid warThe apartheid war being waged by the Israeli Government against the Palestinian people has reached new heights of violence. In the first three months of this year there have been more Israeli attacks against Palestinians living in the occupied west Bank than in any previous year since 2000, when the Second Intifada began.Among those killed in that time by Israel was Rachel Corrie, a 23 year old American activist who was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer in March 2003. Rachel was attempting to prevent the Israeli Army from destroying the home of a Palestinian pharmacist. I was reminded of Rachel because it was her anniversary last week and because I saw for the first time the video of a speech she made as a ten year old to her school friends.A Step ForwardSome United Irelanders have voiced doubts about the Irish Labour Party's call for the Irish Government to set up a national Citizens Assembly to plan for the future and for the SDLPs recent support for Irish Unity. This column sees these developments as good news.

Rachel Corrie was a 23 year old American activist who was killed on March 16, 2003 by an Israeli military bulldozer while peacefully attempting to defend a Palestinian home from demolition. There will be a vigil in her memory on Thursday, March 16, 4:30 - 5:30, at Townsend Park, Albany, NY. Tom Ellis of the Palestinian Rights Committee discusses the vigil and the situation with Israel and Palestine with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

On this edition of Parallax Views, ReThinking Foreign Policy's Mitchell Plitnick returns to the program to discuss the FBI's probe into the death of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh as well as his thoughts on the Biden administration's policy towards Israel, AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) launching of a super PAC and entrance into direct campaign spending, and the recent Israeli elections that have emboldened Israel's far-right. Among the topics discussed in this conversation - The death of Shireen Abu Akleh while she was covering as Israeli raid of a Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank; Abu Akleh was wearing full body armor when she was fatally shot; Israel's internal army investigation of Abu Akleh's death; Abu Akleh worked for Al Jazeera and her death reverberated throughout the Arab world - The FBI's investigation into Abu Akleh's death and the Biden White house administration's response to it; the Israeli objection to the FBI investigation - The investigation will go nowhere without Israeli cooperation - Comparing/contrasting the death of activist Rachel Corrie, ran over by an Israeli bulldozer in 2003, to the death of Shireen Abu Akleh - What approach should the U.S. foreign policy approach be when it comes to Israel? - Military aid and arms sales to Israel - The rise of the Israeli far-right; the Israeli elections; Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud Party; the Religious Zionism coalition; Bezaleel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir; Smotrich's homophobia and anti-LGBTQ stances; how did the rise of Israel's far-right happen? - Human rights and foreign policy - Noam, the far-right Orthodox Jewish political party in Israel that is part of the Religious Zionism coalition - Smotrich and Israel's Finance Ministry; Ben-Gvir and the Ministry of National Security ; policing in Israel; the strong right-wing majority in the Knesset - Combating antisemitism while also being critical of Israeli policies as a nation-state - U.S. Christian Nationalist, the antisemitic right, and the Israeli far-right - And much, much more!

On this edition of Parallax Views, April 10th, 2022 would've marked the 43rd birthday of American peace activist Rachel Corrie. In 2003 she went to the Palestinian city of Rafa in Gaza alongside other activists in the International Solidarity Movement. On March 16th of that year she stood in front of a Palestinian home that was to be demolished by an Israeli Defense Forces armored bulldozer. Corrie was crushed to death by said bulldozer. Her death led to an international uproar and her parents, Cindy and Craig Corrie, sought justice and a full investigation. It has been 19 years since Rachel's passing. In order to remember her, tell her story, and explain what she was fighting for in her support for the plight of Palestinians in the occupied territories we're joined by her parents Cindy and Craig Corrie. Cindy and Craig relate Rachel's story and the events of March 16th, 2003.

For more on Rachel please visit http://rachelcorriefoundation.orgThe words of this song by Jim Page are based on letters that Rachel Corrie wrote home to her parents, before she was crushed to death in March 2003 by an Israeli military bulldozer, which Rachel was trying to prevent demolishing the home of a Palestinian doctor. The video for his song and lyrics can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxazIsQE1XE&t=40s

Concluimos nuestro doble programa monográfico dedicado a Alice Shields, compositora estadounidense nacida en Nueva York en 1943. Shields obtuvo su doctorado en la Universidad de Columbia, en su ciudad natal, donde tuvo como mentores a los compositores Vladimir Ussachevsky, Jack Beeson, Otto Luening y Chou Wen-Chung, entre otros. También fue directora asociada del Centro de Música Electrónica Columbia-Princeton, institución fundamental en la evolución creativa de la autora -como comprobamos a lo largo de esta emisión-. En paralelo a su actividad como compositora, Shields ha llevado a cabo una destacada carrera como cantante profesional de ópera, y además ha estudiado -como intérprete vocal- el repertorio tradicional del sur de la India denominado Bharata Natyam, que combina música y teatro -y cuya influencia en la producción compositiva de la autora también se hará manifiesta en la audición de algunas de las obras presentadas en esta segunda parte del monográfico-. Esas composiciones que escuchamos en esta edición de Ars Sonora atraviesan diferentes momentos creativos de la carrera de Shields. Comenzamos con "Study for Voice and Tape", compuesta en 1968 mediante el uso de la voz cantada de la autora, que después fue sincronizada con sonidos electrónicos procedentes de un sintetizador analógico Buchla, a los que se suma un conjunto de campanas. También presentamos "Mioritza - Réquiem por Rachel Corrie", para trombón y sonidos fijados, de 2004, sobre la cual Shields escribió lo siguiente: "Creé 'Mioritza' en memoria de Rachel Corrie, la activista por la paz estadounidense que el 16 de marzo de 2003, cuando ella tenía 23 años, fue asesinada por una excavadora de las fuerzas israelíes mientras intentaba defender de la demolición la casa de un farmacéutico palestino. Muchos israelíes inocentes, al igual que muchos palestinos inocentes, han sido asesinados durante la ocupación israelí; esta joven estadounidense había acudido allí para ayudar a la pacificación y defender a esos inocentes. Por eso, cuando Monique Buzzarté me pidió que escribiera una nueva composición, decidí dedicar la obra a la memoria de Rachel Corrie". Damos fin a este doble monográfico con la audición de "Dust" (2001), resultado de un encargo del coreógrafo Mark Taylor (vinculado a la compañía Dance Alloy de Pittsburgh), en colaboración con la coreógrafa Anita Ratnam (del Arangham Dance Theater de Madrás, en la India). Se trata de una pieza electroacústica compuesta para danza que combina ragas del norte de la India (Madhuwanti y Todi Raga) con secuencias rítmicas ("jethis") del Bharata Natyam. Escuchar audio

As Israel continues its military assault on Gaza, US President Joe Biden is facing mounting calls at home and abroad to put pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop his onslaught on Palestinians. As the civilian death toll rises, Biden has reiterated his ‘firm support for Israel's right to defend itself against indiscriminate rocket attacks' and for the third time, the United States blocked a United Nations Security Council statement which would have called for a ceasefire. Under growing pressure from his own party, President Biden expressed support for, but did not demand, a ceasefire. The White House press secretary said the administration's approach to handling this crisis is through “quiet and intensive diplomacy”. Can progressive lawmakers, grassroots activism, pressure by pro-Israel groups, and a slight shift in mainstream US media coverage of the crisis, bring enough pressure to bear on the Biden administration to recalibrate America's traditional unconditional support of Israel? Guests: Jim Moran- Former US Member of Congress (D-Virginia) from 1991 to 2015 Roger Waters- Peace activist and co-founder of Pink Floyd Alan Solomont- Vice Chair, Chair Elect and Member of the Executive Committee for J Street, a a pro-Israel advocacy group that represents ‘pro-peace Americans' Craig and Cindy Corrie- Parents of Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old American activist who was crushed to death by an Israeli army bulldozer in Gaza in 2003. They are board members of the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice.

The Judge, denying Israeli responsibility for Rachel Corrie's death, said, “any thinking person” would have distanced themself from the area. But, no, that is exactly backwards. All of the unthinking persons were safely distanced from the area, from the conflict, many from even the knowledge of the genocide of Palestinians. Rachel was there precisely because she was thinking.

Siamo a Rafah, nella striscia di Gaza. È il 16 Marzo 2003. L'esercito israeliano sta demolendo gli edifici e la vegetazione lungo il confine. Il fatto che gli edifici siano abitati è un dettaglio di una certa importanza, ma l'esercito israeliano non sente ragioni. Secondo loro quelle demolizioni servono a scoprire le bombe e a distruggere i tunnel dei contrabbandieri. Operazioni che secondo gli Israeliani in passato hanno avuto successo, perché hanno demolito le case degli attentatori suicidi e hanno così disincentivato le attività terroristiche. Da mesi le operazioni dell'esercito israeliano sono disturbate da un'organizzazione che si chiama ISM, acronimo di International Solidarity Movement. È un'associazione statunitense non violenta che si pone l'obiettivo di sostenere la causa palestinese nel conflitto tra Israele e Palestina. Tra gli attivisti dell'ISM c'è una ragazza che si chiama Rachel Corrie. Rachel era partita dagli Stati Uniti il 18 gennaio 2003. Arrivata nella Striscia di Gaza aveva frequentato per due giorni un corso di addestramento sulle filosofie e le tecniche di resistenza non violente, prima di cominciare a partecipare alle azioni dell'ISM. Rachel Corri nasce il 10 Aprile 1979 nella città di Olympia, la capitale dello stato di Washington. È la minore di tre fratelli, figlia di Craig e Cindy Corrie, una famiglia della middle class. Dopo il diploma alla Capital High School, Rachel si iscrive all'Evergreen State College, sempre a Olympia, dove segue diversi corsi di arte. Si prende un anno sabbatico per lavorare come volontaria nel Washington State Conservation Corps e con l'ISM lavora per tre anni come volontaria facendo visita a pazienti con malattie mentali. Roger Waters, The most beautiful girl“Potrebbe essere stata la più bella ragazza del mondo La sua vita si è spenta come un bulldozer che frantuma una perla” Ci salutiamo e ci risentiamo il prossimo Lunedì alla stessa ora. Se un ribelle spento passa il testimone, siamo pronti a prenderlo?

Cindy and Craig Corrie are the parents of human rights activist and observer Rachel Corrie who in 2003 was killed by an Israeli military operated Caterpillar D9R bulldozer in the Gaza Strip, as she tried to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family’s home. Motivated by their daughter's work and example, the Corries have dedicated themselves to the pursuit of peace with justice in the Middle East and have made many visits to the region, including five to the Gaza Strip. In 2012 and 2016, Cindy Corrie co-led Interfaith Peace-Builder delegations to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. In pursuit of accountability in Rachel Corrie’s case and rights for Palestinians, the Corrie family has for years advocated in the U.S. at both state and national levels of government, and has sought justice through court systems in this country and in Israel. The Corries reside in Olympia, Washington, where they support the work of the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice. In December 2010, the foundation was recognized for “outstanding service for Human Rights-Unique Achievement” by the Thurston County Diversity Council. The Corries are recipients of a Human Rights Advocates of the Year Award from Seattle University’s Human Rights Network and a Pillar of Peace Award from the Pacific Northwest Region of the American Friends Service Committee. In October 2012, they accepted the LennonOno Grant for Peace on behalf of their daughter Rachel.

Welcome to Episode 11, the final installment of No Wall They Can Build, the Ex-Worker Podcast's serialized audiobook exploring borders and migration across North America. This episode concludes the book with personal reflections about the author's own journey in and out of the desert and the unavoidable links that bind all of us across all borders. To become a real force for change, those who would act in solidarity must overcome the limits of privilege politics and guilt, understanding our activities as fighting for our own lives and dismantling the illusion of separation between ourselves and others. What links migrants, solidarity workers, and all people struggling to survive amidst the disorienting nightmare of postmodern civilization is the pursuit of dignity—a sentiment beautifully expressed in a message sent by Rachel Corrie, an American solidarity worker in occupied Palestine, to her mother in 2003 just weeks before she was murdered by an Israeli bulldozer while attempting to stop a home demolition. Two final stories—one chilling and one touching—illustrate the astonishing peril of the desert even for experienced travelers, and the solace that unexpected alliances with creatures of the desert can provide for migrants and solidarity workers alike. Ultimately, the book concludes, to end death in the desert, to rediscover our own humanity, and to have any hope of our survival on this planet, there is one thing in common that we all must do—find our way back home. {June 13th, 2019}   -------SHOW NOTES------   Table of Contents: Who Will Tear Down That Second Border With You? {0:01} Introduction {0:54} Solidarity {1:12} Story #1: Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death {3:38} Dignity {7:18} Rachel Corrie on Dignity {10:52} Story #2: Luther the Tomcat {11:14} Home {16:07} All Our Relations {19:46} Dedication {21:20} In Memoriam {21:36} Conclusion {21:48} Breaking News: the felony trial of No More Deaths volunteer Scott Warren has ended in a hung jury.

Welcome to the debut of She Leads Podcast Season 4! This episode of She Leads Podcast features Chinyere Sam founder for Body By Chinyere.  Chinyere Sam is an Athlete, Fitness/Health Coach, and Motivational Speaker who leads her life like the Boss she is. To hear Chinyere's take on leadership, listen to her interview as she discusses her vivid dreams to the public for the first time, the importance of taking risks, and the value of having mentors and encouragement to keep pushing. Chinyere Sam's Bio For over 17 years Chinyere Sam has been a competitive athlete. At the early age of 8, Chinyere started competing at her elementary and high school on the track and field team. At the age of 15, she migrated to Barbados with her family where she lived for 5 years and continued to excel in track and field for Christ Church Foundation High School. After graduating from high school, Chinyere moved to the United States to further her education and became a leading athlete with the Utah Valley University track team. Chinyere is a Certified Aerobics Instructor & Personal Trainer with endorsements for Step Aerobics, Kickboxing Aerobics and Group Exercise by the International Fitness Association (IFA). In addition, Chinyere is certified in CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) & AED (Automated External Defibrillators).  Chinyere worked as a professional trainer for the past 10 years in New York City where she trained clients in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx & Westchester area. She continues to provide fitness consulting services to some of her clients and maintains a presence in New York  City by hosting boot-camps and fitness workshops and presentations.

Chinyere offers different types of fitness training such as Aerobics, Strength/Core training, Resistance Training, Weight Lifting/Muscle Building, Fat-burning/Toning, Calisthenics, Boxing, Rowing, Spinning, Pilates, Yoga and Stretching. Chinyere’s clientele come from many different professions and backgrounds, many who are overweight, underweight or of normal weight and who may be suffering from illnesses or joint ailments such as Obesity, Diabetes, Coronary Heart Disease, Cancer, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Arthritis, Back Pain/Injury, or Knee and Hip Injury, to name a few. Chinyere has been interviewed by Muscle & Strength magazine (www.muscleandstrength.com/interviews/chinyere-sam), and New York WHCR 90.3 FM radio station where she offered her professional advice on achieving a fit body and the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. She has appeared as a guest on the TV show ‘Teen Mind Set’ offering fitness and nutrition tips for teens suffering from depression which was aired on the Brooklyn Cablevision channels, Time Warner channels, RCN and the NY Verizon TV channels.  Chinyere has performed voluntary fitness workshops for the National Association of Black Military Women and has volunteered her professional fitness expertise to the Girls Scouts of New York city. She has also been a Guest Speaker at the Fidelis Care Health Fair and the Total Woman Business Conference which was sponsored by the Local Development Corporation (LDC) of East New York (www.ldceny.org).

This 300+ professional member network consists of senior-level, African-American corporate executives and entrepreneurs representing EVERY industry in America. Nicole Walker's Interview Commentary I really enjoyed this interview with Chinyere and I hope you did as well! I agree with Chinyere notion of how everything comes together in “perfect timing” if we faint not and keep pushing. It is so easy to get caught up in wanting immediate gratification, yet if the timing is not right it’s not going to happen. Learning to wait for our time is a priceless jewel that helps us to persevere. Learning to be comfortable where you are and show up fully in your current situation will lead you to where you need to be. Life isn’t a race, and when we try to rush the process we are actually making it harder to reach the next level. If something is meant to be, it will be easy, if it’s not easy then it’s not time. A quote by Rachel Corrie reads “follow your dreams, believe in yourself and don’t give up” I admire Chinyere’s ability to have such vivid dreams, her memory to recall her dreams so accurately, and her awareness to understand the messages that these dreams brought to her. Our dreams can give us visions for and understanding of our lives if we are at a certain level of consciousness. One tip I have learned is to keep a notebook near my bed to write down my dreams when I wake up, as my memory is not as good as Chinyere. I often use the website Dream Moods to interpret my dreams for a deeper understanding. When we are sleeping we are more open to receive insight and information from our subconscious, which can reveal amazing things. A quote by Kevin Michel reads “The subconscious mind is the guiding force for your entire life” I can relate to Chinyere’s courage to relocate from Utah to NYC, on the quest of making a better life for herself as I did the same. In September of 2017 I relocated from NJ to FL and told myself I would pursue entrepreneurship for a fourth time, but take it more seriously this time around. Moving from the known to the unknown is a great risk, and although it takes time to adjust it has been well worth it for me. Relocating is a huge decision that surprisingly does not require a huge amount of money as Chinyere has shown by moving with only $235 to her name. We often place many barriers in our way, which stop us from moving forward. Chinyere and countless others have proved that the lack of money does not stop progress unless we let it. A quote by John D. Rockefeller reads “Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.” Takeaway Chinyere mentioned the importance of being calm as a way to be productive. This really stuck out to me, as mastering the art of remaining calm is one of my goals for this year.  I actually have a picture on my vision board that says “calm is a superpower”. Being calm is having an inner peace that lessens the grip of anxiety, worry, excitement, and troubles. Ways to remain calm include slowing down, taking deep breathes, staying positive, I will make it my business to remain calm personally and professionally by developing coping strategies to use when needed. Being at peace is extremely important to me, which makes remaining calm essential for my success. A quote by Brian Tracy reads “Set peace of mind as your highest goal, and organize your life around it.” Leadership Challenge My leadership challenge for you would be to think about the one thing you can take away from this episode and adopt into your life.  I know it’s hard to absorb too much information at one time and it’s even harder to try and implement too many changes at once.  When I attend a training or listen to podcasts I aim to walk away with a least one thing that stuck out to me and one way that I can change as a result.  I challenge you to do the same!  If you decide to take me up on my challenge I would love to know about your key take way.  If you care to share, please go to the She Leads Podcast Discussion Group on Facebook and leave your comment under the Takeaway Thursday post for Season 4 Episode 1.

Bush came on national television and said "At this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger.” On the March 19, 2013 edition of Tell Somebody, we observe the 10th anniversary of Shock and Awe and other anniversaries just past and upcoming: a short clip of Bradley Manning’s statement acknowledging his release of documents to Wikileaks; International Womens Day March 8, 1917 and the start of the February Revolution in Russia, reading an excerpt from an eyewitness account; the 10th anniversary of the killing of Rachel Corrie in Gaza on March 16 with a rebroadcast of a 2009 interview with her parents Cindy and Craig Corrie; and the April 4, 2004 wounding of Tomas Young with 2005 and 2007 interviews with Young and a 2008 interview with his mother, Cathy Smith.  In a February appearance via Skype to an audience viewing the film Body of War, Tomas Young announced that he would end his life.

 This Monday Women's Magazine featured an interview with the award winning filmmaker Simone Bitton director of  “Rachel” the newly released and  deeply moving investigatory documentary that examines the death of peace activist and International Solidarity Movement (ISM) member Rachel Corrie, who was crushed by an Israeli army bulldozer in the Gaza Strip in 2003. We will be offering this film and a free copy of the CD “Needle in the Groove “as a premium for fund drive. “Needle in the Groove” features great female artists like Ani Di Franco and Andrea Prichett and was created to help fund the first girls camp in the West Bank. The post Women's Magazine – September 27, 2010 appeared first on KPFA.

The dearth of reporting on the" Massacre in the Mediterranean" is underwhelming nearly everywhere... but not on WWL! We will provide updated information as it comes in on both the attack on the Freedom Flotilla, and the progress of the Rachel Corrie tonight, along with op/eds about what this portends for Israel, the Middle East and the World. We will address the latest on the Oil Spill Disaster, and the efforts to staunch the jugular flow killing the Gulf. The latest information is telling us to expect it to go until Christmas. Again, we will cover the racist AZ laws, and the protests against them.American Citizens of many, many ancestries are finding themselves targeted with malice; their rights stomped upon. This is an ugly news cycle... and we need to make the World pay attention. Join us and help our efforts. We welcome callers!

Today we feature the music of Carmen Lundy from her latest: "Solamente." We open with "Going to the Ritual" by the late drummer/composer, Rashied Ali. Our guest this morning is Israeli-French filmmaker Simone Bitton, director of "Rachel," a new investigative film about the events surrounding the killing of peace activist Rachel Corrie.

Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi'a film: Youssou N'Dour: I Bring What I Love, opened with much success July 31 in the San Francisco Bay Area and has been held over at United Artists Stonestown Twin and the Osio in Monterey, and expanded to other venues beginning August 7: The Roxie Cinema in San Francisco and The Cerrito in El Cerrito, as the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival comes to a close. I was able to speak to two directors whose films screen today, Thursday, August 6 and Saturday, August 8: Beth Toni Kruvant, dir, "Heart of Stone" (JCCSF 8/8, 4:45 PM) & Shai Carmelli Pollack, dir. "Refugees" (Berkeley Rep, Roda Theatre, 2:30 PM, 8/6). Part 2 of this series will feature directors: Simone Bitton, dir. Rachel, which is an investigative film about the death of American peace activist, Rachel Corrie, and Helmer Pablo Trapero, dir. "Lion's Den," which explores Argentine prisons where women are allowed to keep their babies. I am trying to secure an interview with Ada Ushpiz, dir. "Desert Brides." Another film I'd recommend from the SFJFF is "Zrubavel," dir. Shumuel Beru. Beru is Israel's first Ethiopian film director. It's final screening is at Smith Rafael Aug. 9, 4 PM.

Rachel Corrie was killed 6 years ago while trying to save a Palestinian family from having their home demolished, and possibly from their own deaths, by a US-supplied Israeli bulldozer. On what would have been Rachel Corrie's 30th birthday, I had the opportunity to see the play My Name is Rachel Corrie at the Unicorn Theater in Kansas City, and to meet again with Rachel's parents, Craig and Cindy Corrie.  I recorded a conversation with them the next day, and part of it can be heard on this week's edition of Tell Somebody.  More information on Rachel Corrie at www.rachelcorriefoundation.org. Tent State University returns to UMKC Wednesday-Friday, April 22nd-24th with free food, speakers, and much more.  UMKC student and Tent State organizer Jessica Farmer came to the KKFI Studios to tell us about it. Bill Wickersham, founding member of the Missouri University Nuclear Disarmament Education Team (MUNDET), will be speaking on Monday April 27th 2009 in the Business Center at Longview Community College.  Wickersham tells us about that. And Russian Revolution returns to Tell Somebody this week with Part VII of Eyewitness to the Russian Revolution, a never-before published account of the February 1917 revolution that ended the reign of the Czars.

March 16th marks the sixth anniversary of Rachel Corrie's death in Gaza after being run over by an American-supplied Israeli bulldozer.  The play My Name is Rachel Corrie opens at the Unicorn Theater in Kansas City on March 19th.  On this edition of Tell Somebody, you'll hear some comments former CIA analyst Ray McGovern made about Rachel while he was here in Kansas City in October, 2008, and then an interview with Rachel's parents, Craig and Cindy Corrie, that I recorded when they were here in October 2006. After that, hear the words of Hugo Hakk, young officer in the Army of Czar Nicholas, in part two of the multi-part Eyewitness to the February Revolution.  Hakk is on leave from the Eastern front in February, 1917, and finds himself in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) in the days leading up to the revolution.

The Rachel Corrie Foundation continues the work and witness of Rachel, killed at the age of 23. She was in Palestine as part of the International Solidarity Movement, serving as a "human shield", protecting Palestinians and their homes.

She also is a permaculture gardener and teacher and a founding member of the Reclaiming tradition of witchcraft, a highly influential branch of modern Pagan religion with which she is very active bringing techniques and creative power of spirituality to political activism. She leads seminars in both permaculture and Earth Activist Training in both Europe and the United States. In other words, she is a strong and sensitive, well-rounded, talented and committed feminist woman. Some of her books are The Spiral Dance, The Fifth Sacred Thing, Webs of Power-Notes from the Global Uprising and the latest is The Earth Path- Grounding Your Spirit in the Rhythms of Nature.In this radio interview Starhawk speaks about her direct experience in the West Bank/ Occupied Territories/ Palestine where Palestinian refugees live and have been living for years as they have been pushed out of Israel. This interview took place in Berkeley, Ca. when Starhawk was on her way to speak at a memorial for Rachel Corrie, a young American woman activist who was in Palestine in support of the rights of the Palestinian people 2 years ago. Rachel Corrie was run over and killed, it seems very knowingly, by the driver of a US made Caterpillar special bulldozer, used over and over again to plow down houses of Palestinian people. Starhawk arrived for one of her visits a day or two after this murder occurred and speaks about the killing and the conditions in Palestine where she has been several times and plans to return again soon. She describes the continuing worsening hardships of the Palestinian people who are separated from their fields, food, livlihood, education, etc. by check points and a huge new wall. They are subjected to curfews and incredible hardships by the Israeli Military.
