"Tribute to Jeff Beck" #STBB837

As Israel’s racist, right-wing government has careened even further right, Israelis have been protesting in the streets “for democracy.” But in Palestine, Israeli forces have killed a shocking number of people this year as their war ramps up. What is driving the conflict ground right now and where is this apartheid system headed next?

Israeli General’s Son: Myths and Facts of an Apartheid System

In a historic event, on Monday the United Nations commemorated al-Nakba, which means “catastrophe,” and marked the beginning of the apartheid state of Israel and the massacre and displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their homes. Despite what Americans are taught, Israel was not created as a safe haven from oppression — in fact, the origin of Israel has anti-Arab, anti-Semitic, and imperialist roots.

Brian is joined by Dr. Nazia Kazi, a professor of Anthropology at Stockton University, and author of the book “Islamophobia, Race, and Global Politics,” which was just updated and re-released.

How Colonialism Created Israel w/ Prof. Nazia Kazi

Track Title: "Rise Up"

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
When the night is dark and the road is long
And the weight of the world feels so strong
When your feet are tired and your heart is weak
And your dreams seem too far to reach

(Chorus)
Rise up, rise up, don't give up the fight
You're stronger than you know, you can win this fight
Rise up, rise up, reach for the sky
Let your heart be your guide, and you'll fly

(Verse 2)
When the storm clouds gather and the thunder rolls
And the winds of change take their toll
When you're lost in the crowd and you feel alone
And the road ahead seems unknown

(Chorus)
Rise up, rise up, don't give up the fight
You're stronger than you know, you can win this fight
Rise up, rise up, reach for the sky
Let your heart be your guide, and you'll fly

(Bridge)
You've got the power within, to chase your dreams
You've got the courage to believe in what you can achieve
No matter what they say, you can make it through
You can climb that mountain high, and reach for the view

(Chorus)
Rise up, rise up, don't give up the fight
You're stronger than you know, you can win this fight
Rise up, rise up, reach for the sky
Let your heart be your guide, and you'll fly

(Outro)
So rise up, rise up, and take your stand
You've got the strength to make it to the promised land
Rise up, rise up, and make your mark
And let the world know that you've got heart.

Rise Up

Track Title: "Emotional"

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
My heart's an open wound,
And my tears they come in floods.
I try to hide the pain,
But it's all too much to contain.
I hold on so tightly
To the things I can't control.
But when the darkness falls
I'm lost in this emotional hole.

(Chorus)
'Cause I'm emotional,
And it's tearing me apart.
I try to keep it in,
But it's written on my heart.
And I'm reaching out,
For someone to hold me tight.
'Cause I'm emotional,
And I can't do this alone tonight.

(Verse 2)
I wish that I was stronger,
But these feelings won't subside.
I try to push them down,
But they're eating me alive.
I'm scared to let you see
The parts of me that I can't hide.
But I know that I need you,
To help me through this emotional ride.

(Chorus)
'Cause I'm emotional,
And it's tearing me apart.
I try to keep it in,
But it's written on my heart.
And I'm reaching out,
For someone to hold me tight.
'Cause I'm emotional,
And I can't do this alone tonight.

(Bridge)
So hold me close,
And don't let go.
'Cause I need you now,
More than you could ever know.

(Chorus)
'Cause I'm emotional,
And it's tearing me apart.
I try to keep it in,
But it's written on my heart.
And I'm reaching out,
For someone to hold me tight.
'Cause I'm emotional,
And I can't do this alone tonight.

(Outro)
No, I can't do this alone tonight.
