Grayzone Radio with Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate’

'Our goal is to stop the genocide': Houthi spokesman meets The Grayzone

Mohammed Al-Bukhaiti, senior political officer and spokesman for Yemen's Ansarallah movement, explains the objectives behind his movement's naval blockade of the Red Sea in this interview with The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal. Al-Bukhaiti also responds to military threats from the Biden administration and allegations that Ansarallah is controlled by Iran's IRGC.



Part 2:Traumatizing the public into compliance with official Israeli, US lies

The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and Aaron Mate discuss how US and Israeli officials weaponize trauma and exploit the public's psychological weakness to deflect from their own failures. They also discuss the ongoing discrediting of the NY Times' article alleging systematic sexual violence by Hamas on October 7, and the US media's ignoring of allegations by Palestinian women in Gaza of sexual violence by invading Israeli soldiers.

Grayzone Radio is a production of The Grayzone, an independent news website dedicated to original investigative journalism and analysis on politics and empire. Washington DC-based independent journalist and author, Max Blumenthal, founded The Grayzone and is your host on Grayzone Radio.

The Final Straw Radio

First up, you’ll hear part of an interview with Shupavu wa Kirima, General Secretary of the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party, who comes on to talk to us about the ongoing hunger strike among prisoners at Red Onion State Prison in Virginia protesting the abuse of solitary confinement and the medical status of hunger striker Kevin Rashid Johnson. Keep updated at https://RashidMod.com

Then, Yuval Dag, an Israeli anarchist member of Meaarvot recently imprisoned for publicly refusing conscription, talks about draft refusal, opposing the war on Palestinians and the occupation and undoing zionist ideology. More at https://linktr.ee/meaarvot --most of the links are in Hebrew but your browser will translate fairly accurate to information like this:

Last month, about 10 teenagers burned their draft orders during the weekly demonstration against the regime coup in Tel Aviv, after announcing earlier that they would refuse to serve in the army in protest of the occupation and apartheid. The symbolic act gained attention, perhaps thanks to the "new refusal" on the part of the protest participants against the regime coup, hundreds of whom announced that they would not report for reserve duty if Yariv Levin and Simcha Rotman's reform plan was implemented.

Local conversations with high school students and young men and women active in the Bloc Against the Occupation and other organizations indicate that the protest against the regime coup and the political awareness it aroused accelerated a process of radicalization among them. They feel that other young people are also more willing to hear about the occupation. The issue of refusal is also much more common.

GOOD FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS-OR DO THEY? (Part 1)

Queer in Your Ear is guest-producing Tuesday's program. Emily Charles and Mary Salome are graduates of the KPFA/Pacifica Apprenticeship Program in the San Francisco Bay Area. They have been working together since 1992. They write: "We like the word queer to describe ourselves, and reject a narrow, single-issue focus on queer identity in favor of building alliances around shared goals for the liberation of all people. At the same time, we acknowledge the role of labels in creating visibility and power." You can find their previous programs on soundcloud.com/queer-in-your-ear

Tonight's program is Part 1 of GOOD FENCES MAKE GOOD NEIGHBORS-OR DO THEY?, a series of programs about borders, walls & fences, visible or invisible, that keep us in, keep us out & keep us divided. Part 1 focuses on red lining, racial covenants and other institutional policies which created and continue to enforce segregation. We focus on Chicago but these issues are national, and probably happening somewhere not too far from where you're listening. If you're not familiar with Chicago neighborhoods, the context should make things clear.

This program is dedicated to Lorraine Hansberry, the award-winning Black lesbian author of A Raisin in the Sun, and her father Carl Augustus Hansberry, who fought and won the fight against race covenants in Chicago. You'll hear an excerpt from the film version of her screenplay of A Raisin in the Sun in the middle of the program. The program also honors OUT-FM's intersectional approach to understanding queer issues. This stance reflects the reality that our struggles are intertwined and injustice is not a one-issue problem.
