The Final Straw Radio

TFSR will be subbing for Its Going Down from sister station KPFA in Berkeley; IGD is taking a break from their radio show for an indefinite period. Final Straw does a weekly podcast and radio version from the East Coast.



This week on the show, we’re featuring the voice of an anti-Zionist Jew living in lands occupied by the Israeli state. For the hour we speak about some of his experiences of trying to resist the ongoing war against Palestinians, collaboration with Palestinian comrades against the occupation, the silencing of dissent during the escalation by the Israeli state and other topics.



For a very thoughtful series of podcasts about the situation in Palestine, check out the two recent episodes of the Its Going Down podcast (https://itsgoingdown.org).

Antifascists Repressed in Budapest

Following this, you’ll hear a segment by A-Radio Berlin (a co-member of the Channel Zero Network as well as the A-Radio Network with The Final Straw) about repression of antifascists recently under the far right Hungarian administration of Victor Orban. This also appeared in the November 2023 episode of Bad News, the monthly English-language podcast of the A-Radio Network.

Out-FM from sister station WBAI in NY

THOUSANDS OF QUEERS MARCH FOR PALESTINE IN MANHATTAN

Thousands of Queers March for Palestine in Manhattan

John Riley & Pauline Park will be discussing their participation in the recent Queer March for Palestine in Manhattan.

On Sunday, November 12, a crowd of young adults numbering between 2,000-2,500 gathered, rallied, and marched from Union Square to the Stonewall Inn, where they again rallied and then marched to Washington Square Park. We present a sampling of the speeches given at all 3 locations. Homemade signs expressing solidarity with Queer Palestinians and their freedom struggle were abundant.



"Pinkwashing" of Apartheid Israel's current genocide in Gaza by LGBT organizations and media outlets

Pauline Park and Naomi Brussel discuss the 'pinkwashing' of Israeli apartheid's current genocide in Gaza being conducted by some LGBT community-based organizations and media outlets. They discuss the national and local LGBTQ organizations and New York's Gay City News, and the Washington Blade, and some of the reasons for the positions.

Pinkwashing is the attempt by the Israeli government and some organizations to mislead the public by focusing on a few pro-queer reforms by the Israeli state to distract from gross human rights violations by the Israeli government.
