This is the first one-third of a very rich conversation on food sovereignty topics that Just World Educational presented on November 28, as part of our latest webinar series “Beyond Survival: Food Sovereignty Challenges in Palestine and Worldwide.” This session of the series explores commonalities between the food-sovereignty struggles of Palestinians and of Native American and Black communities here in the United States.
We’ll be releasing the next two portions of this conversation in upcoming podcast episodes. You can learn more about this whole project here.
Richard Falk on the lasting legacies of Operation Cast Lead
Just World Podcasts
12/30/18 • 35 min
This episode of our podcast is the second in a special mini-series we’re releasing as part of our “Cast Lead Plus Ten” project. In this episode of our mini-series you can hear the second half of the conversation Helena Cobban had about Cast Lead, with the distinguished international jurist Richard Falk. In the previous episode, Cobban and Falk had discussed mainly what happened during the Cast Lead assault, ending with the ceasefire that Israel and Hamas reached on January 17, 2009. In this episode, they discuss the broader strategic impact and lasting legacy of “Operation Cast Lead”, including the whole saga of the UN Fact-finding Commission which was headed by Judge Richard Goldstone, and the role Cast Lead and the fate of the Goldstone Commission both had in galvanizing new generations and new forms of activism in the worldwide Palestinian-rights movement.
Stay tuned for the next episode in this mini-series, to be released January 3!

Story-Backstory ep. 13: Bolton: pushing the United States into a war against Iran?
Just World Podcasts
05/17/19 • 30 min
On this week’s podcast, Just World Educational's president, Helena Cobban, discusses the currently high tensions between the United States and Iran with Amb. Chas W Freeman, Jr., a very distinguished former American diplomatist and the author of a number of very informative books. The most recent of these are collections of his essays on, respectively, US-Chinese relations and US policies in the Middle East.
This week’s podcast is linked to a column Ms. Cobban wrote that ran May 15 on the Mondoweiss website, under the title “Bolton pushing United States to over-reach in Iran”.
In Ms. Cobban's interview with Amb. Freeman, he warns of some of the very dire effects that Pres. Trump's withdrawal from the six-party, 2015 Iran deal has already had on the rule of law internationally and on the continuing erosion of the safeguards the U.S. Constitution always placed on the executive branch's ability to enter willy-nilly into wars of choice. He warns of the dire consequences to be expected if Washington should get into a shooting war with Iran, and he assesses the roles that China, Russia, and the European countries that were also parties to the Iran deal might be able to play in defusing the tentions and de-escalating the conflict.
