TWIP-250112

President Jimmy Carter was a strong advocate for Palestinian rights and was critical of Israeli policies in the occupied territories. During his presidency, he facilitated the Camp David Accords, which led to a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt. However, he was disappointed that the agreement did not lead to a broader peace settlement, including Palestinian self-determination. In his 2006 book, *Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid*, Carter argued that Israel's continued control and construction of settlements were major obstacles to peace. He used the term "apartheid" to describe the situation in the West Bank, which sparked significant controversy. Carter defended his use of the term, stating that it accurately described the forced separation and domination of Palestinians by the Israeli military. Carter's stance and his book have been both praised and criticized, but he remained steadfast in his belief that a fair and just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was essential for lasting peace in the region.

Laurence Gonzales— "Why Do Smart People Do Stupid Things" Part 2

Why do smart people do stupid things? This is the question asked by Laurence Gonzales, author of “Deep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why” and “Everyday Survival: Why Smart People Do Stupid Things.” Gonzales examines the mental scripts we follow as we live our lives and how these scripts prescribe our response to a situation based upon our past experiences. The problem is that sometimes these scripts result in wrong and possibly dangerous actions based on insufficient evidence or memory in our past experience. Gonzales’ work demonstrates how these scripts can sometimes lead to us being our own worst enemy. To break from this cycle and encourage full understanding of a situation and wise decision making, Gonzales encourages “curiosity, awareness, and attention.” He writes, “Those are the tools of our everyday survival… we must all be scientists at heart, or be victims of forces that we don’t understand.” In a series of two Radio Curious visits with Laurence Gonzales we discuss how our mental scripts are created both genetically and from our personal experiences and how to keep them from getting us in trouble. I spoke with Laurence Gonzales from his home near Chicago Illinois on January, 19 2009. Our conversation began when I asked him how human behavior today has been shaped by that of our ancestors many thousands of years ago. The book he recommends is “Survival in Auschwitz” by Primo Levi

The Nurse Breaking the Bones of Black Babies / Trump Wants to Rename The Gulf of Mexico

The first half of today’s episode covers a story about a Virginia nurse accused of breaking the bones of several Black infants in the care of the NICU at which she was employed. This vile story sheds light on the very racism many folks say doesn’t exist and also explains how pervasive it can be when it goes unpunished. The second half of the show sees us discussing a handful of the things Trump has walked back since his campaign, in addition to his desire to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. We also discuss his unhinged behavior and what more we have to do to combat his policies. Our Way Black History Fact covers the first Black Medal of Honor recipient, Sgt. William Carney, and the story behind his heroism.

Commentary on Chrystia Freeland

Chrystia Freeland is permitted to dodge question of why she supports Banderites in Ukraine today, just as her grand-father did in his years as an employee of Nazi intelligence. It is not a “long ago question”, it is today’s reality. That’s why all should read Peter McFarlane’s “Family Ties” (Lorimer).

The new cold war that the U.S. unleashed against China - Yanis Varoufakis

Yanis Varoufakis is a former finance minister of Greece, university teacher, author in economics and technology, and engaged in European politics. A video of this candid and fact filled talk before a Chinese audience has recently surfaced. How did China, on the flimsiest of pretexts, end up in the crosshairs of both Biden and Trump? Varoufakis reveals the related danger to the U.S. financial system that apparently is so serious that this new Cold War might even turn into a shooting war. The video of this talk was recorded just before the U.S. November 2024 elections, and it is 12 precious minutes longer than this radio program. I highly recommend you find it on YouTube under the title “The new cold war that the United States unleashed against China - Yanis Varoufakis”. DATE OF FIRST PUBLICATION: Nov. 13, 2024

John Platt: In Search of The Ivory-Billed Woodpecker (re-broadcast)

When you visit the World Wildlife Fund’s list of critically endangered species, the first animals named are large, beloved mammals like the African Forest Elephant and the Eastern Lowland Gorilla. While these majestic creatures tug at our heartstrings, there are also a lot of smaller, more unsung organisms that are in grave risk of extinction, like the lowly freshwater mussel. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak to environmental writer, John Platt, the editor of The Revelator to talk about some of the less glamorous animals that have recently been declared extinct or are on the brink of extinction. First, we take a deep dive into the plight of the ivory-billed woodpecker, a regal swamp-dwelling bird whose demise may or may not have been premature. Then we discuss why Hawaii is referred to by some naturalists as the extinction capital of the world, and look at the ethical quandaries presented by the emerging field of resurrection biology, also known as de-extinction.
