This Week with David Rovics

When all is lost, all that's left is our dreams.

Another powerful and timely remix to the latest song I've recorded, from Chet Gardiner.

While EuroVision was getting the headlines, FalastinVision was where you could find the most relevant music.

Some thoughts on the silent majority.

There is a mythology so many of us grew up with, that because of the experience of the Nazi holocaust, Jews were generally a more moral people, as a whole, and no state run almost entirely by Jews could possibly do something like genocide another people. This mythology was wrong, and Gaza is the evidence.

 

Chet added some musical touches to serve the song and turn up the intensity a notch.

Chet Gardiner has made some powerful improvements to the song, with various instruments.  The genocide of the people of Gaza is happening now, via famine and disease.  One thing you can do right now is share this song.  Songs can reach places the news stories don't.

The Israeli plan is to kill everyone in Gaza -- "to holocaust them," as Netanyahu's advisors say live on national TV, in Hebrew.

I had a good time chatting the other day with the hosts of the podcast, Unfinished Business with Paul & Rob. We talked about Gaza and music and other things.  The interview with me begins 12 minutes in.

A few thoughts from my recent travels in Canada and Denmark.

Entering the third month of Israel's total embargo on Gaza, the starvation has begun.

Americans Who Tell the Truth -- americanswhotellthetruth.org -- is a brilliant project that's been going for decades now, which involves portraits painted by Robert Shetterley of many wonderful people.  I was interviewed recently for the website by Constance Carter, AWTT's Director of Education, and the interview was so nicely edited that I thought I'd share it with you.

Do it well, and you might just grow a movement. Do it badly, and you can kill it in the bud.

Here's a little Earth Day preview of the sort of concert folks have in store coming right up in BC and Denmark...

Some of us were just going for the bread and circus, but when we went there, we found neither.

After our visit to Mexico, we spent several days in southern California and three weeks between England and Scotland.

Almost a month into Israel's complete blockade of food, water, medicine or anything else getting into the Gaza Strip, as the Israeli military orders mass evacuations of Palestinians to an unknown destination, here is Chet Gardiner's chilling remix of my most recent song about all of that.

The only groups that are actually trying to enforce international law when it comes to Israel's war crimes are organizations that are illegal in many western countries to say anything nice about, or you risk being considered a terrorist.

Normally the ruling elite is supposed to be able to distinguish between reality and their own propaganda, even if most of the commoners believe it. With the new administration, it appears that these people actually believe their own lies, and are actively setting up a whole regime based on them being true.
