Podcast appearances and mentions of rachel small

Two Refuseniks from Tel Aviv talk candidly about Israeli society's reaction to their movement and the supports they've created to make it easier for more youth to refuse enlistment in the IDF.Tal Mitnik and Einat Gerlitz share their story, while also acknowledging despite all they've been through during their stints in military prison, it can't compare to the situation of Palestinian youth their age.Comparisons are made to Canadian settlers; both our states' being predicated on ethnic cleansing and colonial violence, and the struggle to decolonize spaces from within while understanding our role in maintaining that same colonial state.Their assessment of Israeli society at the moment, and the possibilities for peace are instructive, but difficult to hear.

More than 30 Palestinian trade unions have issued a united call to stop arming Israel. This call comes in light of Israel's intensified assault on Palestinians over the past weeks, and particularly the unfolding genocide in Gaza. Activists in Canada have responded by blockading weapons facilities in Ontario and Quebec and informing Canadians about the flow of weapons from Canada to Israel. We talk with Rachel Small, an organizer with World Beyond War.

Randy Janzen and Rachelle Friesen join Rachel Small and Marc Eliot Stein to talk about unarmed resistance, a broad nonviolent practice that is being used in war zones all over the world today. Nonviolent resistance is the theme of #NoWar2023, World BEYOND War's upcoming annual virtual gathering of peace activists from all over the world. In this conference preview, we talk about the work of organizations like Unarmed Civilian Protection, Community Peacemaker Teams and Nonviolent Peaceforce who have been quietly discovering new paths and routes to conflict resolution in a meaningful grasp for hope as the world burns. Music: "Hummingbird" by Dinah Thorpe.

Liz Carmichael is an Oxford professor who spent the last four days in ceremonies observing Elizabeth's 70 years on the throne. She was moved by it and shared her feelings – though Rachel Small did not see the monarchy the same way, but described them as exploitive of indigenous people, among other bad traits. We talk about the meaning of monarchs as standing outside of politics. Matt Legge thinks the attitudinal gap is generational, for he has no particular feeling for royalty, though his parents do. He holds conflict resolution workshops. For the video, audio podcast, transcript and public comments: https://tosavetheworld.ca/episode-462-royalty-assimilation-like-button.
