"Sunday Night Live" - Calling Bullshit on the BDS Movement, Live from Berkeley!

Well, it was bound to happen.

As you know, Radio Free Nachlaot's co-founder and Programming Director Lorelai Kude journeyed from Jerusalem to Berkeley a couple of months ago, where she's been staying in the "Peace Room" and investigating what she calls "The Knee-Jerk Reactionary 'Liberal' Heart of Darkness," otherwise known as the notorious anti-Israel, antisemitic activism that goes on in the Bay Area.

L'kavod the upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Day in America, our "Sunday Night Live" Show will be broadcast LIVE FROM THE PEACE ROOM in an undisclosed location in Berkeley and feature Lorelai's recent "Heart to Heart" series of interviews exposing the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of the BDS Movement ("Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions"), which in it's quest to align itself with legitimate causes has deliberately and disingenuously co-opted the narratives of the Native and Indigenous Peoples as well as that of other historically oppressed groups such as African-Americans, the GLBT community, and more.

For background and insight into the sly, manipulative use of terms such as "redwashing", "pinkwashing" and "greenwashing" by the BDS Movement and how the red, pink and green Peoples are fighting back, demanding the BDS symbol-usurpers to take their hands off narratives that don't belong to them, read Wendy Kenin's piece in the Times of Israel, and prepare yourself for "SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE FROM THE PEACE ROOM" - 7pm Jerusalem time on Sunday (that's 9am Pacific / 12N Eastern on Sunday, January 19th).

We'll be playing Lorelai's "Heart to Heart" (a Mitzvah Media Production for Radio Free Nachlaot) interviews with Blogger and Native/Indigenous activist RYAN MERVIN BELLEROSE,  South Africa-based academic and Native/Indigenous activist JAY CORWIN and Institute for Black Solidarity Founder DUMISANI WASHINGTON.

Prefacing the following with a big, fat "l'havdil" - Just as Rebbe Nachman insisted on being buried in Uman, which he called "the Jaws of Hell" so that his Neshama would serve as a merit and a protection for the Jewish People exiled in the Ukraine, Lorelai feels that the time she spends in Berkeley should be spent inserting herself into the California version of "the Jaws of Hell" ("Berkeley, the Knee-Jerk Reactionary 'Liberal' Heart of Darkness")  in order to extricate the truth from the outrageous lies that are being told as if they were actual fact (which, of course, they're NOT).

Another small but important point here - Radio Free Nachlaot has always been what Steve and Lorelai like to call "family friendly programming," and although one of Lorelai's worst midot (character traits) is her propensity for using swear words and foul language (something she's been WORKING ON very hard to correct since starting RFN together with Steve, from whose lips no one in living memory has ever heard a curse word issue), her use of the word "Bullshit" in her "Heart to Heart" series "Calling Bullshit on BDS" is deliberate. Because there's a time and place for 'language' and this is the time, and this is the place. "Bullshit" is a term that denotes complete falsehood, and if anyone deserves to have "Bullshit" called on them, it's the BDS Movement, which has done harm to Israel and the Jewish People by spreading lies as if they were fact, and usurping the struggles of other Peoples illegitimately while using every means possible to discredit, marginalize and isolate Israel from the world community.

So ... it's not swearing. It's using the term "bullshit" responsibly and accurately.

CALLING BULLSHIT ON BDS!

Attention, Radio Free Nachlaot friends, fans and family! Especially those of you who are appalled and disgusted as we are about the BDS ("Boycott, Divest and Sanction") movement which has unjustly targeted Israel between their deceptive, disingenuous propaganda cross-hairs.

WE'RE CALLING BULLSHIT ON BDS - RIGHT HERE ON RADIO FREE NACHLAOT!

We're so pleased and excited to feature a fascinating, thought-inspiring and provoking interview with respected University of Cape Town academic Jay Corwin on "Heart to Heart with Lorelai" this week.

Lorelai's interview with Jay Corwin (a Mitzvah Media Production, produced by Wendy Kenin for Radio Free Nachlaot) airs Thursday, January 9th at 6:30pm Israel time (that's 8:30am in California and 11:30am in New York).

Two hard-hitting, insightful blogs by Jay have recently been published on THE TIMES OF ISRAEL web site, "BDS Silences Native American Voices" (January 7th, 2014) and "Native American academics do not endorse the boycott of Israeli academics" (December 25, 2013).

After reading these pieces we knew we HAD to have Jay on the radio! (Please read them yourselves, and share!)

Jay Corwin was born in Wrangell, Alaska. He is a member of the Tlingit tribe, of the Eagle moiety and Kaayaashkeíditaan clan, enrolled in the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, and an original shareholder of Sealaska Corporation. Phd (1995) in Spanish and Latin American literature from the Florida State university and author of works on various pieces of 20th century Latin American fiction (including being one of the world's foremost authorities on the works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, author of "100 Years of Solitude").

Currently Head of the Spanish program at the University of Cape Town, Jay has both the Native/Indigenous AND academic credentials to look the BDS movement in the face and call it for what it really is - Bullshit.

For the record: "Bullshit" - that's Lorelai's word. Jay is much more refined than that, his words are far more eloquent and insightful, and for your information, he doesn't use a single expletive throughout the interview. 

Listen and hear as Jay exposes the LIES, the systematic, disrespectful and deliberate co-opting of the Native/Indigenous narrative by BDS propaganda artists, the arrogant colonialism of the mostly European pseudo-academic BDS leadership who hijack the historical struggle of Peoples from whom they neither descend from nor represent, and THE WAY TO PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST! 

Don't miss this interview - 6:30pm Israel time on Thursday, January 9th if you want to ingest some real truth and real clarity from an "outsider" looking in to our world in a way we ALL need to hear! 

And by the way, if you haven't already figured it out, since Lorelai has to be in Berkeley anyway, she's declared war on the BDS movement. You'll be hearing a lot more about that on future episodes of "Heart to Heart with Lorelai," a Mitzvah Media Production, airing at 6:30pm on Thursdays on Radio Free Nachlaot.
