| Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (New York City) Weekly edition posted 12-17-2021: Caleb Nichols on Defending Public Libraries Counterspin (regular weekly feature of TJR) Available at FAIR's website fair.org/counterspin 2021 It’s important to powerful people to restrict what ideas people can access. It’s the land of the free and home of the brave, except if you want to know what’s happened and happens here, or to tell people about it. It all shows us the power of ideas. ... So if you are someone who wants to know about the world—and if you aren’t in a position to buy books online to read—you might, as many of us did and do, go to the library. That’s the place where you don’t have to pay to sit down, you don’t have to buy a book or a coffee in order to read. ... So it matters a lot that this critical, loved public institution is under threat of usurpation by the same folks who think that there should be nothing, nothing, that private-sector, profit-oriented rich people don’t own and control. Do you care about libraries, that let anyone in and support anyone’s interest in learning? Well, then get ready to fight, because that space, that idea, is on the ropes.

| Host John Roberts Christian Zionist influence on US policies concerning Israel/Palestine This Week In Palestine (award-winning exclusive weekly feature of TJR For a description or download of this or any week's edition of T.W.I.P., go to TJR's website truthandjusticeradio.org 2021 Today we examine Christian Zionist influence on the development of US policies concerning Israel/Palestine. Christian Zionists form a dominant portion of the so-called Christian Right. They are a major player in the Evangelical Movement, and a power player in the well-organized pro Israeli Lobby in the United States. 40% of the current Republican Party identify as Evangelicals…40%. So when we think about the base of the pro Israeli movement in the US we cannot think it is just Jews, it also includes the massive Christian religious right. Christian Zionists' clout in Congress is a major factor in the refusal of our elected Representatives to take a stand against the human rights abuses of the Israeli Government. An excellent forum on this issue was held at the Harvard Divinity School last October, and is the focus of our program this morning.
