Hello and welcome to the Monday Breakfast show for Monday the 19th of May 2025.On today's show: Headlines: - Israel to allow small amount of aid into Gaza Strip, to enable the continuation of its siege and genocide.- Workers at Sesame Workshop, the non-profit behind Sesame Street, unionized to stand against layoffs, reduction in pay and working conditions. Last Thursday marked the 77th Anniversary of the first Nakba (also known as 'catastrophe' in Arabic, marking the ethnic cleansing of 750,000 Palestinian people from their homes and massacred on their lands in 1948), community members gathered to expose the location of Elbit Systems, in Port Melbourne. Elbit systems - Israel's largest private weapons manufacturer - continues the legacy of the Zionist state of Israel, with financial aid from the Victorian Labour Government. Last Thursday morning, Edmi spoke to a community activist at the picket outside Elbit HQ.

Catch it live then or listen back to previous episodes at 3cr.org.au/palestine.Next up is a segment from the Kanaky uprising commemoration gathering held at Camp Sovereignty on Tuesday the 13th. On May the 13th 2024 the Kananky people rose up against French colonial violence in so-called New Caledonia in response to proposed electoral changes that would entrench French control and marginalise Indigenous Kanaks. The event last Tuesday was held by the Black Peoples Union, Crime Scene Australia, Free Kanaky Solidarity Naarm, and Radio Rata to stand in solidarity wih the Kanak struggle for liberation, and to echo their call for freedom, sovereignty, and self-determination. We hear from Roscoe Lee Brown and Jasper Cohen Hunter at the first anniversary event for the Kanaky uprising held at Camp Sovereignty.Finally, Edmi speaks with Maddie from new teaching initiative Not A Set Doctrine about the anarchist alternartive educational curriculum, Maddie's own expereinces of existing and learning in and outside mainstream educational curriculums, and her philosophy behind creating free, inclusive and non-hierarchal educational spaces.
