Is The Pakistani Taliban a Security Threat?
Jan 31, 2023 #TalibanPakistan #Pakistan #TehrikETaliban
Pakistan is mourning roughly a-hundred people killed in a suicide bombing at a mosque in Peshawar.
The attack was the latest in a series blamed on the Tehrik-e-Taliban, or the Pakistani Taliban.
The attack took place in a highly fortified police compound.
So was there a security failure?
And can the embattled government win the war against the armed group?

Atlantis and the Fall of the Lemuria: The War that Sank a Continent
For thousands of years, the world has been captivated by the mystery of Atlantis. The concept of an ancient city hidden beneath the ocean is fascinating.
But what if there was not just a city, but an entire continent buried beneath the waves?
The continent of Lemuria is a massive landmass believed to have sunk in the Indian Ocean after some ancient, catastrophic event.
Atlantis and Lemuria are similar in that they’ve sparked numerous theories, legends and interpretations.
But Atlantis and Lemuria are very different in one way. There’s no proof of Atlantis.

Gaza Under Seige - Full Documentary
Oct 16, 2019
Israel and America's attempts to isolate Yasser Arafat have only increased his popularity amongst his Palestinian subjects.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...
Ever since Israel threatened to expel or assassinate Arafat, crowds like this have flocked to his Ramallah Compound. Over the past 18 months, Arafat’s compound has come under siege three times. Israeli tanks have reduced large sections of the building to rubble. However, far from undermining Arafat, Israel’s actions have only increased his popularity. Palestinians see him as embodying their nation’s struggle and take all threats to his safety personally. The sighting of an ambulance entering the compound sends the media into a frenzy, reports circulate that he has been poisoned. Despite a brief appearance to allay the rumours, Palestinians are all too aware of how frail and vulnerable their leader is.

War of Lies: How to Sell an Invasion - Full Documentary

War of Lies: How to Sell an Invasion | ENDEVR Documentary
Watch 'The War You Don't See: Why Propaganda Hides the True Face of War' here:
• The War You Don't See: Why Propaganda...
Saddam Hussein's arsenal of "weapons of mass destruction" was George W. Bush's main justification for waging war against Iraq in 2003. After the invasion of the country, American leaders recognised that they had been mistaken, and that the Baghdad tyrant did not possess such a capability. Bush claimed it was an error and defended his good faith, denouncing the negligence of his secret services. But the brutal truth lies elsewhere: The war in Iraq was based on lies.
It was the poisoned fruit of an unprecedented manipulation of the American public, the international press, and politicians around the world. This documentary reveals the deception, interpreted by those who imagined it, and unveils how America committed to a conflict that caused hundreds of thousands of casualties and cost some 3000 billion dollars.

For over a year Kurdish forces have united in defence against bloody IS attacks. So how have Islamic State still managed to recruit hundreds of young Kurds to fight for the Caliphate against their own families?
"There are Kurdish families in Halabja whose sons are in IS and their hearts are broken, but I'll never go to their funerals", says the grieving mother of Kaihan Borhan, a Kurd who died fighting with the Peshmarga against IS. Her family is distraught that the people responsible for his death could well be Kurdish nationals. "I have a friend whose brother died fighting for ISIS", says Kaihan's brother. "I never grieved for him and my friend cannot bear to look me in the eye." In this report we see the path to extremism that many Kurds have taken. Dissatisfaction at the Kurdish Intelligence service, Asayish's persecution of Muslims and domestic grievances are being skilfully exploited by IS propaganda, led by Khattab Al-Kurdi and his Saladin Brigade. "With God's permission we will sow the seeds of the Caliphate throughout our land", says the Kurdish Khattab, who has been one of the most persuasive forces in luring Kurds towards the Caliphate. Even with Khattab's reported death in April 2015, the threat of more Kurds joining IS seems unlikely to diminish, with a new Kurdish Imam carrying the rhetoric forward.

What US media is missing in Israel’s war on Gaza
Nov 11, 2023 #Aljazeeraenglish #News
Freedom of expression is under the gun in the Land of the Free. We look at what media in the United States is missing in Israel’s war on Gaza - and why it matters.
Contributors:
Noura Erakat - Associate Professor, Rutgers University
Abdallah Fayyad - Journalist; Former Member, Boston Globe Editorial Board
Alex Kane - Senior Reporter, Jewish Currents
Jack Mirkinson - Acting Senior Editor, The Nation
On our radar:
The vast majority of mainstream outlets in the US are corporate-owned. Nic Muirhead reports on how publicly-funded broadcasters in the Anglosphere are taking heat over their coverage of the Gaza story.
‘India Stands With Israel’:
Indo-Israeli relations have been on the upswing for the past few years. And in this war, Indians have been showing their support through posts online, and rants on TV with some disinformation thrown in, to skew how this conflict is understood. Meenakshi Ravi reports.

more than a month into the war on Gaza
0:02
we're starting with the coverage in the
0:04
US freedom of expression is under the
0:07
gun in the land of the free in the UK
0:11
Canada and Australia the journalistic
0:13
resistance starts with the basics the
0:16
terminology in
0:17
use and India is generating its own kind
0:21
of Gaza coverage it is one-sided and at
0:24
times
0:28
dangerous
0:31
hello I'm Richard gizbert as Israel's
0:33
ground Invasion enters a dangerous new
0:35
phase we're focusing on the one country
0:37
with the power to stop the Carnage in

0:43
Palestinians have been killed the UN has
0:46
called The War Zone a children's

0:51
trapped among decaying bodies in the

0:56
stand by Israel in public when the
0:58
cameras are gone their counseling
1:00
restraint or so they say the 4-Hour
1:03
humanitarian pauses that Israel put into
1:06
effect on Friday are what passes for
1:09
Progress that still leaves another 20
1:11
hours a day for the Israeli military to
1:13
bomb civilians fleeing their homes
1:16
across American news networks the
1:18
argument that Israel's Mass Slaughter of
1:20
civilians is a justifiable Act of
1:23
self-defense often goes unchallenged and
1:26
there has been far too little discussion
1:28
of a ceasefire some Us Media Outlets
1:31
though have produced powerful accounts
1:33
of this asymmetrical War but there is an
1:35
unmistakable undeniable chill with too
1:38
many voices silenced criticism of Israel
1:42
can keep you off the American Airwaves
1:44
out of print or even cost you your
1:46
[Music]
1:48
job Israel sees the parades in the
1:50
rallies for the ceasefire and they see
1:53
no parades and no rallies for the return
1:55
of the hostages or the removal of Hamas
1:58
the United States is the armor of Israel
2:01
the United States is the Diplomatic
2:03
protector of Israel and that's why the
2:05
discussion here matters a great deal
2:07
we're in a religious War here I am with
2:09
Israel do whatever the hell you have to
2:11
do to defend yourself level the place
2:14
there's actually two conversations
2:16
happening in the US there's a popular
2:18
conversation amongst people receiving
2:20
their information directly from the
2:23
ground they they the door of the
2:27
hospital and completely different
2:28
conversation amongst those who are
2:31
consuming their information from more
2:33
popular sources of media Gaza is not now
2:36
Under Siege Israel has been under siege
2:39
for 75 years to understand how biased
2:43
American media coverage of the war in
2:45
Gaza can be just turn on the television
2:48
you can see it in what is condemned and
2:51
what is condoned in who is the humanized
2:54
and who is not in what is questioned and
2:58
to what extent our newspapers our
3:01
journalists our cable news networks are
3:03
not pushing American officials enough
3:06
they're not asking them to condemn the
3:09
Israeli Prime Minister talking about
3:11
genocidal Biblical verses to justify
3:14
their military campaign the goal is to
3:16
destroy Hamas Hamas is creating these
3:19
casualties not Israel I I don't think
3:20
anyone's asking NE well some people may
3:23
be asking is real to apologize but
3:25
that's not what I'm asking about I don't
3:27
think to this day there is a single
3:29
editorial board um in the United States
3:32
that has actually called for a ceasefire
3:35
in spite of the Carnage you know you're
3:37
actually seeing some Israeli press take
3:39
stronger and Bolder stances as opposed
3:42
to newspaper editorial boards here in
3:43
the country that have more or less
3:45
fallen in line with what the state
3:47
Department's party line is you have seen
3:51
um American politicians like Marco Rubio
3:54
or Nikki Haley using genocidal language
3:59
of about Gaza and I'll say this to to
4:02
prime minister Netanyahu finish them
4:04
Marco Rubio said I don't think there's
4:06
any way Israel can be expected to
4:08
coexist or find some diplomatic off-ramp
4:12
uh with these Savages and neither of
4:14
those comments were treated with the
4:17
kind of shock they deserved to be
4:20
treated
4:22
with Americans were among those
4:25
horrified by the gruesome images they
4:27
saw on October 7th after hamas's attack
4:31
that killed more than 1,400 Israelis
4:34
since then too many in the US media have
4:36
been taking their cues from the Biden
4:39
Administration it's insistence that what
4:41
Israel is doing despite the killing of
4:43
more than 10,000 Palestinians somehow
4:47
remains an act of self-defense almost
4:49
every military analyst has said that a
4:51
ceasefire could give Hamas that
4:52
opportunity to regroup and Carry Out
4:54
Future attacks and we saw more than 2/3
4:56
of Americans now want a ceasefire it is
4:59
is a growing movement that is
5:01
insufficiently reflected in the
5:03
mainstream media commentary which often
5:05
draws the line well short of that what
5:08
about Israeli officials that I that I've
5:10
talked to about these calls for a
5:12
ceasefire they say that just gives Hamas
5:14
time to regroup interviewees tend to
5:16
repeat the Israeli media's talking
5:18
points on Hamas hospitals and human
5:21
Shields the storing of Munitions all
5:24
kinds of explosives under hospitals
5:28
under refugee camps under civilian
5:31
targets the use of civilians uh as
5:35
really just tools of War um by Hamas
5:40
those are claims that Israel has made
5:42
many times before but have never been
5:44
verified on the question of
5:46
representation and who gets to be heard
5:49
a body speaking for Arab and Middle
5:50
Eastern journalists says it is deeply
5:53
troubled by reports the journalists of
5:56
Middle Eastern descent are being
5:58
sidelined from report reporting or
6:00
commenting on the current War while
6:02
suggestions for nuance and precise
6:04
language in reporting are being ignored
6:07
in
6:08
newsrooms there's not necessarily you
6:11
know this red line that editors have
6:13
that you know you're not allowed to say
6:15
this or you're not allowed to say that
6:17
there is a culture of fear in our
6:20
institutions here about talking honestly
6:22
and freely about this because whenever
6:24
something that sheds light on human
6:27
rights violations committed by Israel
6:29
there's usually a massive push back
6:31
campaign and people are afraid of it
6:33
newspapers like the New York Times And
6:34
The Washington Post have done an
6:36
admirable job um of reporting uh on
6:39
what's going on in Gaza I've seen plenty
6:41
of Stories of the coverage of Civilian
6:44
harm in Gaza cable television by
6:46
contrast you know because of the sort of
6:49
nature of cable TV it's sort of short
6:51
segments kind of favoring sound bites
6:53
the sort of type of analysis you're
6:55
getting there is just truncated and
6:57
often um
7:02
misinformed when taking in the coverage
7:04
of Gaza or even scrolling through their
7:06
social media Americans should consider
7:09
who they are not hearing from voices
7:12
that have been silenced journalists who
7:14
have been fired over the positions they
7:16
have taken online they include a New
7:19
York Times magazine writer who signed a
7:22
joint letter opposing the Israel Gaza
7:24
war was questioned by her editor about
7:27
that and ended up resigning after the
7:30
editor of Harper's bizarre magazine
7:32
tweeted that Israel's cutting off power
7:34
to Gaza was inhuman the Magazine's
7:37
parent company Hurst banned its
7:40
employees from expressing personal
7:42
political opinions on social media this
7:45
goes beyond news outlets into the art
7:48
world the new york-based magazine art
7:50
Forum fired its editor-in chief after he
7:53
signed a petition calling for a
7:55
ceasefire one that neglected to condemn
7:58
hamas's attack on October 7th it seems
8:02
like the top
8:03
Executives of these uh corporate media
8:06
Outlets are actually in a pitched battle
8:08
with the producers who want to tell a
8:10
different story I have been blacklisted
8:13
by several outlets as I've been told by
8:14
producers my Clips have also been
8:17
censored and even though they've aired
8:18
live have not been posted on their
8:21
websites the explanations for it is that
8:23
I either made the anchor look bad or
8:26
that I'm too advoca none of the reasons
8:29
provided have to do with I said
8:32
something that wasn't true or I was uh
8:35
inflammatory in any way it was literally
8:38
other reasons in order to craft a
8:40
particular kind of story where we can
8:43
express empathy for Palestinian lives
8:46
but not point the finger about why they
8:51
are being killed in a genocidal campaign
8:53
and who is doing
8:55
it to express support for Palestine
9:00
brings many different risks it risks you
9:04
um being ostracized within the broader
9:07
media World it risks you not getting uh
9:12
career opportunities it risks you being
9:15
on the front page of a tabloid newspaper
9:18
um you know and labeled a terrorist
9:20
sympathizer and that is reflected in
9:24
both the coverage from the last month
9:26
and also the broader climate of
9:29
repression that we have seen in so many
9:33
different areas of public
9:37
life after almost a month of locking the
9:40
international media out of the war zone
9:43
and then disputing the reporting of
9:45
Palestinians inside Gaza Israel finally
9:48
allowed some Western journalists to
9:50
enter this past week under certain
9:53
conditions the reporters have to be
9:55
embedded with Israeli forces that act as
9:58
their protectors
9:59
and ultimately their editors as a
10:02
condition to enter Gaza under IDF escort
10:05
Outlets have to submit all materials and
10:07
footage to the Israeli military for
10:10
review prior to publication I applaud
10:12
CNN and others were at least telling
10:14
their audiences that their information
10:16
is filtered by the Israeli State CNN has
10:19
agreed to these terms in order to
10:21
provide you the viewers a limited window
10:25
into Israel's operations in Gaza but I
10:28
think that should have done more to push
10:30
back against the conditions that first
10:32
that they had to be embedded with the
10:34
Israeli military and that second none of
10:36
their coverage would be published
10:37
without the approval of the state so
10:40
literally all that's filtering out is
10:42
State propaganda the population will be
10:44
able to go from the north to the South
10:47
surely and all freely in order to get
10:49
the IDF do what it need to do in order
10:51
to do demolish Kamas and I think here
10:54
it's incumbent upon audiences to
10:57
exercise scrutiny why why is Israel
10:59
preventing a Foreign Press from entering
11:02
Good Morning America on ABC News where
11:05
they said this was a rare short and
11:07
quite intense opportunity to see what
11:09
the situation is like in Gaza on the
11:11
ground it's only rare if you are
11:15
overlooking all of the journalism from
11:18
inside Gaza going towards the violence
11:21
not away from it through unbearable
11:24
conditions to actually bring the world
11:27
these stories I just was
11:31
to give water to my
11:34
grandma and right
11:37
here a house there around three dozen
11:40
journalists inside Gaza have been killed
11:44
reporting through unimaginable
11:48
personal emotional trauma losing their
11:52
families and to
11:57
erase all of that is very very shameful
12:02
and when you close your eyes at night
12:03
what is it you think about that is not
12:05
to dismiss some quality American news
12:07
coverage of this war and its impact on
12:10
Palestinian civilians this CNN interview
12:13
with a nurse who worked in Gaza will
12:15
stick with viewers there were children
12:19
with just massive burns down their faces
12:22
down their necks all over their limbs
12:25
and because the hospitals are so
12:27
overwhelmed they are being charged
12:29
immediately after and still US News
12:32
output is pulling its punches on the
12:34
scale of the killing the mass
12:36
displacement the crimes against humanity
12:40
in examining this war perhaps Americans
12:42
need to reflect on some of their own
12:44
Colonial history to remember that all
12:47
colonizers including Americans started
12:50
out by occupying the land of the other
12:54
the fact that for most Americans they
12:56
cannot critically examine Israel also
12:59
represents their own blind spots of
13:01
understanding themselves as living
13:02
within a settler racial Colony as
13:05
benefiting from white supremacy on lands
13:07
that are still colonized and not seated
13:10
by over 500 indigenous Nations
13:13
everything that we can critique
13:15
Americans for failing to see in the
13:17
humanity of Palestinians reflects their
13:19
own inability to see
13:24
themselves so Palestine here is not an
13:27
exception the rule is a colonial
13:30
framework and a liberal understanding
13:33
that somehow we've overcome colonialism
13:35
which is not true we continue to exist
13:38
in an enduring Colonial
13:43
reality the vast majority of mainstream
13:45
news outlets in the US are corporate
13:48
owned elsewhere in the anglosphere
13:50
though publicly funded broadcasters are
13:52
taking heat over their coverage of the
13:54
Gaza story and some of that as Nick mad
13:57
explains comes from within
13:59
first up Richard is the BBC in the UK
14:02
Ramy Rim the Network's correspondent in
14:04
Beirut sent an email to director General
14:06
Tim Davy expressing his concerns he
14:09
argued that historical context and
14:11
significant information including expert
14:14
opinion that Israel's actions could
14:16
amount to genocide was either entirely
14:18
missing or not being given due
14:20
prominence when Davy failed to reply to
14:23
that email rayim shared it with the rest
14:25
of his colleagues at the BBC in Canada a
14:28
lawyer journalist had similar things to
14:30
say about cbc's coverage he interrupted
14:33
a speech the network CEO Katherine Tate
14:35
was giving you are not telling the truth
14:37
as an organization about the genocide
14:39
happening in Gaza before the eyes of the
14:41
world in Australia more than 200
14:43
employees at ABC met to point out issues
14:47
again over terminology and the Network's
14:49
Reliance on Israeli military's talking
14:51
points they also called out ABC's
14:54
refusal to use certain terms such as
14:56
occupation apartate and genocide even
15:00
Invasion but just back to the UK for a
15:02
moment and an instance of Journalism
15:04
that Rose to the challenge Channel 4's
15:06
sakander kamani was embedded with the
15:08
Israeli military in Gaza when they came
15:11
across Palestinians fleeing the
15:13
bombardment we're not allowed by the
15:15
military to go any closer Israeli
15:18
soldiers can prevent journalists
15:19
embedded with them from interviewing
15:21
gazan refugees what they cannot do is
15:24
stop those news organizations from
15:26
working with Palestinian reporters to
15:28
tell that side of the story footage
15:31
filmed on the salahudin road by
15:33
Palestinian journalists gives you a true
15:36
sense of scale and showcasing the scale
15:39
of this tragedy is something Channel 4
15:41
has been very effective in doing thanks
15:43
Nick Israel's hasbara campaign its PR
15:47
effort to win diplomatic backing and
15:49
shape public perception is an overdrive
15:52
these days not that it's really needed
15:54
in places like India prime minister
15:56
Narendra Modi has been crystal clear
15:58
clear in his backing of this war New
16:00
Deli says it sees it as an act of
16:03
counterterrorism and self-defense just
16:05
last month when the UN voted in favor of
16:08
a humanitarian pause India abstained
16:12
Indo Israeli relations have been on the
16:14
upswing for the past few years now the
16:17
image of Israel is a Hightech prosperous
16:19
nation that survives in a region
16:22
populated by quote unquote enemies
16:24
resonates with many Indians and they've
16:26
been showing their support through posts
16:29
online rants on television with some
16:32
disinformation thrown in to skew how
16:34
this conflict is understood the
16:36
listening posts minak shiavi now on the
16:39
pro-israeli messaging that's coming out
16:41
of India and why it
16:44
matters Israel is at War we didn't want
16:48
this war it was forced Upon Us in the
16:51
most brutal and Savage way 2 days after
16:53
Hamas Fighters burst out of Gaza and
16:56
carry out one of the most audacious
16:58
attacks on Israeli territory prime
17:00
minister Benjamin netanyahu's office
17:02
posts this video online Hamas will
17:05
understand that by attacking us they've
17:08
made a mistake of historic proportions
17:11
within minutes the message has thousands
17:13
of shares and replies numerous Israeli
17:16
posts demand netanyahu's resignation but
17:19
there's another set of messages from
17:21
Indians and they are all in so the
17:25
responses from Indian accounts have been
17:28
extra Ary to say the least sometimes
17:30
they put up posters in which they say we
17:33
stand with Israel sometimes they put
17:35
Graphics of two hands in a clasp painted
17:38
with Israeli and Indian Flags sometimes
17:40
theyve just tried to reflect on how this
17:44
conflict in Gaza mirrors the kind of
17:46
challenges that India faces security
17:48
wise when we try to understand why is
17:51
there such a widespread interest in
17:53
India with respect to this particular
17:55
conflict one of the things is a shared
17:57
experience of ter terrorism when October
17:59
7th happened hamas's attack on Israel in
18:02
India almost immediately parallels were
18:05
drawn with the 2611 experience which
18:07
were a major terrorist attack happening
18:10
on the Indian city of Mumbai in 2008 to
18:13
me it had a lot of shades of our own
18:16
2611 uh when you had terrorists coming
18:19
from Pakistan on boats and uh uh
18:22
creating the rampage that they did this
18:24
major space that Israel suddenly started
18:27
to occupy in the Indian imagination was
18:29
because that common threat was found the
18:33
same radical
18:35
jihadist islamist terrorist
18:39
thinking that Israel is a victim of we
18:42
are a victim of as well Israel is
18:43
fighting this war on behalf of all of
18:46
us Israel is fighting this war for you
18:49
and me new delhi's support for Israel
18:52
was Swift and unequivocal prime minister
18:54
Narendra Modi tweeted in solidarity an
18:57
Indian news Outlet as though on Q went
18:59
on a war footing themselves channels
19:02
that just a few months earlier had not
19:04
seen fit to send their journalists to
19:06
cover unprecedented violence in India's
19:09
Northeastern State of Manipur they
19:11
dispatched reporters all the way to
19:13
Israel heavy bombs are being used right
19:16
now to take out the Hamas leadership and
19:19
you know there is collateral damage
19:20
proclamations of Vengeance and calls for
19:23
Mass killing were issued from Indian
19:25
news
19:26
Studios policy
19:28
1 for
19:35
[Music]
19:36
one the coverage I think has been
19:39
extremely sensationalist and
19:45
dramatic there was a reporter who was
19:48
asked to quiet down by Israeli soldiers
19:51
because of how loudly he was trying to
19:54
cover what was happening then there's
19:56
another reporter from a channel who was
19:59
reporting from a paraglider after
20:01
reports came out that Hamas crossed the
20:04
border on
20:08
paragliders there's also been
20:11
misinformation shared by Indian news
20:13
channel there was a video of a group of
20:17
people carrying what looked like a dead
20:18
body but when they put down the person
20:21
the person got up and walked away so
20:23
this uh video was shared with the claim
20:25
that Palestinians are faking the death
20:27
of the victims but this video turned out
20:31
to be from 2020 and it was shot in
20:34
Jordan uh during Co lockdown and it was
20:36
by a bunch of people who were trying to
20:38
flout the the lockdown rules whereas in
20:40
the past Israelis would send out
20:43
disinformation or their talking points
20:45
and they they would land on American and
20:47
British mainstream media platforms now
20:50
you have large Indian accounts
20:53
amplifying this just a few days ago a
20:56
BJP leader addressed a rally and he
20:58
invented a set of of his own
21:04
[Music]
21:09
lies and then lamented about the kind of
21:11
small pockets of support that some
21:15
Indian Muslims have shown or displayed
21:17
for Palestinians uh in India and he
21:19
asked them do you want Hamas to come to
21:22
India this is how hate and
21:23
misinformation works you keep repeating
21:26
something again and again again and
21:28
again that you know there is Islamic
21:31
Terror and how Israel is trying to
21:33
protect itself and then there is a
21:35
Muslim threat in India and how Hindus
21:37
are trying to protect themselves and if
21:39
you keep repeating this there comes a
21:42
time when people who are consuming this
21:44
or who may be misinformed when they see
21:47
that Muslims are treated with a lot of
21:49
violence they can one justify it or two
21:52
just say that they deserve it so what
21:54
happens is that you take away how a
21:57
normal human being would react to
21:59
someone who is facing violence and this
22:02
is essentially what hate and
22:03
disinformation achieves modern day India
22:06
and the state of Israel came into being
22:07
within a year of each other India
22:10
through its independence from British
22:11
rule in 1947 Israel through its
22:13
expulsion of Palestinians and the
22:15
establishment of the state in 1948 on
22:18
the question of Palestine India's
22:20
independence leaders Mahatma Gandhi and
22:22
jawaharlal nehu they were vocal in their
22:25
support in 1936 when Palestinian rose up
22:28
against the British and their push for a
22:30
Jewish State Neu compared Palestine with
22:33
India under colonial rule he talked
22:35
about a gross betrayal of the Arabs by
22:37
British imperialism Palestine was not an
22:40
empty land it was well populated with
22:43
little room for large numbers of
22:44
colonists is it any wonder that the
22:47
Arabs objected to this intrusion a
22:50
little more than 10 years later when the
22:51
United Nations voted to create the state
22:53
of Israel there were only three non-arab
22:56
countries that voted against that
22:57
resolution
22:58
India was one of them times have changed
23:01
so have the
23:03
geopolitics historically speaking I mean
23:05
I'm refering to the post 1947 era which
23:08
is when we got Independent India and
23:10
Israel haven't really had a very nice or
23:12
cozy relationship that you probably see
23:14
now that has come after 2014 which is
23:17
when Prime Minister Modi has come to
23:19
power
23:22
shom oh what a great great day great day
23:26
and of course one of the reasons is that
23:28
both these countries have nationalistic
23:30
governments and that perhaps is one of
23:32
the ideological uh reasons why uh you
23:35
know the relationship has taken off so
23:37
relations between you know India and
23:39
Israel did not start with Narendra Modi
23:41
but what happens in 2014 is Modi and
23:44
Netanyahu meet properly officially at
23:47
the UN General Assembly in New York and
23:50
they agree at that moment to quote tear
23:53
down the remaining walls between the two
23:55
countries India purchases around 50% %
23:58
of all weapons sold by Israel per year
24:01
and India is also beginning to
24:02
co-produce weapons and they're working
24:04
in agriculture they're working in Tech
24:06
they're working in cyber security 2017
24:08
was the first time that an Indian Prime
24:10
Minister actually traveled to Israel and
24:13
you see a kind of an um you know upgrade
24:15
in the relations ever
24:26
since
24:31
in the past month India has reaffirmed
24:33
its support for the establishment of a
24:34
Palestinian State the so-called
24:36
two-state solution uh towards
24:39
establishing a sovereign independent and
24:41
viable state of Palestine New Delhi has
24:44
also sent medical and disaster relief
24:46
Aid to gazans how much of that made it
24:49
pass the Israeli blockade and into the
24:51
strip is not known the war is a big
24:54
story in India and as it rages on it is
24:57
folding into another even bigger
24:59
domestic story India is going into a
25:02
huge election next year and this issue
25:04
will serve as a way to consolidate the
25:06
Hindu nationalist base in India it
25:08
serves Modi very well electorally to be
25:10
seen as close to Israel as a country
25:12
that's able to put Muslims in their
25:14
place but it's also about modernizing
25:15
the state the BJP has pushed this
25:18
narrative that in order to be a strong
25:20
militaristic Global player it had to be
25:23
close to Israel all this rhetoric around
25:25
minorities and the domestic sentiment
25:27
with respect to minorities I think it is
25:29
really not understood well and it is
25:32
often you know foreign media that falls
25:34
for a certain kind of narrative and that
25:37
leads to a rather skewed understanding
25:40
of how Indian societies actually operate
25:43
I think it is too soon to tell how this
25:45
war will will play out when it comes to
25:48
um elections in India next year but
25:50
there are already po that are claiming
25:52
you know you have to stand up against
25:55
Islamic terrorism otherwise what would
25:58
happen in India is what is happening in
26:00
Israel so for Hindus to protect
26:03
themselves from this threat is to
26:05
reelect Prime Minister
26:08
Modi just one final note those of you
26:11
watching on YouTube may have had to jump
26:13
through a few Hoops to see our latest
26:15
reporting having to sign in because of
26:17
age restrictions or simply not being
26:20
recommended our content now there are a
26:23
number of reasons for that but one of
26:24
the biggest has to do with advertisers
26:27
companies that don't want their ads up
26:29
against images of the suffering that
26:31
this war has produced we are not going
26:33
to change the way we cover this story
26:35
just to please an algorithm so if you
26:38
value our journalism please share it it
26:41
is more important than ever that these
26:43
stories are heard we'll see you next

Hamas's Rise to Power in Gaza - Full Documentary
Oct 9, 2023
Hamas Victory (2006): Are we witnessing a new political movement in the Middle East? The pressure is now on Hamas to transform itself into a recognised legitimate government. Report by ABC Australia, April 2006.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...
"It's like a big political Tsunami hitting the whole region," states Dr Iyad Saraj. "Ten years of failures have left many despondent with the political process." Jewish settlements are expanding, corruption is getting worse," despairs former Fatah supporter Omar Shaker. In comparison to Fatah, Hamas is seen as clean and honest. Despite its involvement in violence, its elevation to a legitimate, elected political party could be the start of a new direction for the region.

Islam - Empire Of Faith - PART TWO
Islam: Empire of Faith, Part 2 - The Awakening
As Academy Award-winning actor Ben Kingsley notes in his narration, the European Renaissance had its beginning in the metropolis of Baghdad, a center of learning at a time when Europe was sunk in the Dark Ages. Originally aired on PBS, this second of three episodes in the documentary Islam: Empire of Faith recounts early Islam's thirst for knowledge. Muslims of the time saw "no insurmountable contradiction" between faith and natural laws. According to this program, the Islamic empire sent scholars throughout the world to gather all the knowledge of mankind, which was brought to Baghdad and studied by scholars. While Christians considered Aristotle and Plato blasphemous, Muslim scholars studied and admired the Greek philosophers. Islamic mathematicians devised the system of Arabic numerals we still use today, and medicine was so advanced that Muslim surgeons were performing cataract surgery a thousand years ago. Also covered is the beginning of the Crusades. Highlights of this episode include footage of the Alhambra and Cordoba, Spain, which was the western jewel of Islam. Expert commentary is provided by such scholars as Ahmet Karamustafa of Washington University, George Saliba of Columbia University, Sheila Blair of Boston College, and Carole Hillenbrand of Edinburgh University. ~ Steve Blackburn, Rovi

Islam - Empire Of Faith - PART ONE
Islam: Empire of Faith, Part 1 - The Messenger
Originally aired on PBS, this first of three episodes in the documentary Islam: Empire of Faith recounts the history of the religion of Islam, from its beginning in 622 A.D. as a small desert sect led by the prophet Muhammad, to its zenith hundreds of years later as an intellectual and artistic empire -- the largest the world had known -- that spanned three continents and exercised tolerance for other religions. Highlights include re-enactments of battles and commentary by numerous scholars, including Jonathan Bloom of Boston College, Islamic art historian Esin Atil, Michael Sells of Haverford College, John Renard of St. Louis University, and Walter B. Denny of the University of Massachusetts. Narrated by Academy Award-winning actor Ben Kingsley. ~ Steve Blackburn, Rovi

Islam - Empire Of Faith - PART THREE
Islam: Empire of Faith, Part 3 - The Ottomans
Originally aired on PBS, this last of three episodes in the documentary Islam: Empire of Faith covers the history of the expansionist Ottoman Empire and its ambitious sultans through the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent. As Academy Award-winning actor Ben Kingsley explains, a key successful aspect of the Ottoman method of expansion was to leave in place the clerks -- the bureaucracy -- of the conquered territories. The Sunni Ottoman regime had more trouble from their rival Safavid Dynasty of Shiite Muslims than from their vanquished Christian subjects. Highlights of this program include footage from old Constantinople and from Istanbul, marvelous Islamic architecture, and mosaics and paintings portraying historical events. Expert commentary is provided by such scholars as Esin Atil, historian of Islamic art, Walter B. Denny of the University of Massachusetts, Victoria Holbrook of Ohio State University, Ahmet Karamustafa of Washington University, Cornell Fleischer of the University of Chicago, and John Renard of St. Louis University. ~ Steve Blackburn, Rovi

The King of Kings (1927) - Full Silent Film
The King of Kings is a 1927 American silent epic film produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille. It depicts the last weeks of Jesus before his crucifixion and stars H. B. Warner in the lead role.
Featuring the opening and resurrection scenes in two-color Technicolor, the film is the second in DeMille's Biblical trilogy, preceded by The Ten Commandments (1923) and followed by The Sign of the Cross (1932).
Plot
Duration: 1 minute and 20 seconds.1:20
The King of Kings (1931 re-release trailer)
Mary Magdalene is portrayed as a wild courtesan, entertaining many men around her. Upon learning that Judas is with a carpenter she rides out on her chariot drawn by zebras to get him back. Peter is introduced as the Giant apostle, and we see the future gospel writer Mark as a child who is healed by Jesus. Mary, the mother of Jesus, is shown as a beautiful and saintly woman who is a mother to all her son's followers. The first sight of Jesus is through the eyesight of a little girl, whom he heals. He is surrounded by a halo. Mary Magdelene arrives afterwards and talks to Judas, who reveals that he is only staying with Jesus in hopes of being made a high official after Jesus becomes the king of kings. Jesus casts the Seven Deadly Sins out of Mary Magdalene in a multiple exposure sequence.
Jesus is also shown resurrecting Lazarus and healing the little children. Some humor is derived when one girl asks if he can heal broken legs, and, when he says yes, she gives him a legless doll. Jesus smiles and repairs the doll. The crucifixion is foreshadowed when Jesus, having helped a poor family, wanders through the father's carpentry shop, and, himself a carpenter's son, he briefly helps carve a piece of wood. When a sheet covering the object is removed, it is revealed to be a cross towering over Jesus.
Jesus and his apostles enter Jerusalem, where Judas incites the people and rallies them to proclaim Jesus as the King of the Jews. Jesus, however, renounces all claims of being an Earthly king. Caiaphas the High Priest is also angry at Judas for having led people to a man whom he sees as a false prophet. Meanwhile, Jesus drives away Satan, who had offered him an Earthly kingdom, and he protects a woman caught in adultery. The words he draws in the sand are revealed to be the sins the accusers themselves committed.
Judas, desperate to save himself from Caiaphas, agrees to turn over Jesus. Noticeably at the Last Supper, when Jesus distributes the bread and wine saying that they are his body and blood, Judas refuses to eat or drink. Towards the end, Mary confronts her son and tells him to flee from the danger that is coming. Jesus replies that it must be done for the salvation of all peoples.
Jesus goes to the Garden of Gethsemane where he is soon captured by the Roman soldiers and betrayed by Judas. Judas' life is saved, but, upon seeing that Jesus is going to be killed as a result, he is horrified. Judas takes a rope that the Romans had used to bind Jesus' wrists and runs off. Jesus is beaten and then presented by Pontius Pilate to the crowd. Mary pleads for the life of her son and Mary Magdalene speaks for him but Caiaphas bribes the crowd to shout against Jesus.
Jesus is taken away to be crucified, though he pauses on the Via Dolorosa to heal a group of cripples in an alley, despite his weakened condition. Jesus is crucified and his enemies throw insults at him. (One woman even anachronistically eats popcorn and smiles with glee at Jesus' crucifixion.) When Jesus does die, however, there is a great earthquake. The tree where Judas had hanged himself, with the rope used to bind Jesus's wrists, is swallowed up amidst bursts of hellfire. The sky turns black, lightning strikes, the wind blows, the people who had mocked Jesus run in terror, and the veil covering the Holy of Holies in the Jerusalem Temple is torn in two.
The tumult ends when Mary looks up at heaven and asks God to forgive the world for the death of their son. The chaos ends and the sun shines. Jesus is taken down from the cross and is buried. On the third day, he rises from the dead as promised. To emphasize the importance of the resurrection, this scene from an otherwise black and white film is shot in color. Jesus goes to the Apostles and tells them to spread his message to the world. He tells them "I am with you always" as the scene shifts to a modern city to show that Jesus still watches over his followers.
Many of the film's intertitles are quotes (or paraphrases) from Scripture, often with chapter and verse accompanying.

Cast notes

A giant gate built for this film was later used in the 1933 film King Kong, and was among the sets torched for the "burning of Atlanta" in Gone with the Wind (1939). Other sets and costumes were re-used for the 1965 Elvis Presley film, Harum Scarum.
The movie has two Technicolor sequences, the beginning and the resurrection scene, which use the two-color process invented by Herbert Kalmus.
The 1927 Cummings trial for divorce from her husband Frank Elliott revealed that DeMille, because Christians would not accept any reflections cast upon Christ or his mother, had Cummings sign a contract on August 21, 1926, that regulated her private life for seven years. It included clauses that prevented her from divorcing her husband for any act, to do anything that would give her husband grounds for divorce, or play a prostitute or similar role in any film.[5] The contract did not prevent the divorce.
Release
The King of Kings was the first movie that premiered at the noted Grauman's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, California on May 18, 1927.[6] The film was screened there again on May 24, 1977, to commemorate the theater's 50th anniversary.
In what is considered one of the earliest applications of market segmentation to film promotion, students ranging from elementary to high school were dismissed early to attend afternoon screenings of the film. The King of Kings was seen by around 500 million viewers between its original release in 1927 and the remake released in 1961.[7]
In the United Kingdom, the film was initially banned by the London County Council due to a rule that prohibited films from showing a materialized Christ, which led to a revision of the local censorship rules.[8]
Critical reception
The King of Kings received rave reviews from the critics. The Film Daily stated: "There can be said nothing but praise for the reverence and appreciation with which the beautiful story has been developed. . . The King of Kings is tremendous from every standpoint. It is the finest piece of screen craftsmanship ever turned out by DeMille".[9] Photoplay described the film as "Cecil B. DeMille's finest motion picture effort" and thought he took "the most difficult and exalted theme in the world's history—the story of Jesus Christ—and transcribed it intelligently and ably to the screen."[10] Norbert Lusk of Picture Play believed "The King of Kings is Cecil B. DeMille's masterpiece, and is among the greatest of all pictures. It is a sincere and reverent visualization of the last three years in the life of Christ, produced on a scale of tasteful magnificence, finely acted by the scores in it, and possessed of moments of poignant beauty and unapproachable drama. This is a picture that will never become outmoded."[11]
Accolades
In June 1927, Photoplay named the film one of "The Best Pictures of the Month".[10] For their work in The King of Kings, H. B. Warner, Victor Varconi, Rudolph Schildkraut, and Ernest Torrence were included among "The Best Performances of the Month".[10]
In 2008, AFI nominated this film for its Top 10 Epic Films list.[12] It is widely considered to be among the most popular Hollywood biblical epic films depicting the life of Christ.
Lawsuit
In 1928, actress Valeska Surratt and scholar Mirza Ahmad Sohrab sued DeMille for stealing the scenario for The King of Kings from them.[13] The case went to trial in February 1930 but eventually was settled without additional publicity.[14] Surratt, who had left films to return to the stage in 1917, appeared to be unofficially blacklisted after the suit.[14]

My Daughter and The Caliphate - PART ONE
Sep 5, 2019
A father fights to save his daughter who has run off to join the terror organization Islamic State. For four long years Maik Messing doesn’t know if she will survive the ordeal. And for those same four years he was joined by a camera Team.
"Your own child prefers to live among terrorists rather than with you, and even thinks it’s cool. That just destroys you!" When Maik Messing‘s daughter Leonora suddenly disappeared in 2015, the whole world changed for this father from Saxony-Anhalt.
Maik hadn’t noticed that his daughter had been radicalized. Leonora had been living a parallel Islamic existence online, sharing experiences on facebook and whatsapp groups. The prospect of living in the so-called Caliphate held no fear for her. After leaving Germany, she married high-ranking German IS terrorist Martin Lemke, who worked for IS intelligence. As his third wife, Leonora began her married life in the IS capital Raqqa. She stayed in touch with her family back home via voice messages and social media.
Meanwhile, Leonora’s father undertook everything in his power to get his daughter back to Germany: "This is life or death. That much is absolutely clear."
For four years a TV crew accompanied Maik - a baker by vocation - as he met with human traffickers from Syria and negotiated with terrorists, all while trying to continue with his daily life in Germany.
Any attempts to rescue his daughter were extremely precarious. Islamic State controlled not only the streets of Raqqa, but each and every person who lived there. At times, the psychological pressure for Maik Messing was so great he even contemplated suicide.
The film offers not only a rare glimpse of life inside the Islamic State, but also depicts this often brutal existence from the perspective of a naive teenager. One who, in the middle of it all, still finds time to listen to German pop musi.
Update July 2020:
According to information provided by the German broadcaster NDR, Leonora is still in the al-Hawl detention center in Syria with her two children. Her family has taken legal action against the German government to have Leonora and the children brought back to Germany. The court has ruled in favor of the family. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic it is not clear when and under which circumstances their return can take place. It is also unclear whether Leonora will be taken into custody upon her return.

My Daughter and The Caliphate: PART TWO - Leaving the Islamic State
Sep 22, 2022 #dwdocumentary #documentary
At the age of 15, Leonora Messing secretly left her home in Saxony-Anhalt. She’d planned her journey down to the last detail, traveling via Turkey to Syria. She had her heart set on marrying an IS fighter - a man she had never even met before.
She joined the Islamic State terror organization and married IS intelligence officer Martin Lemke, who was also from East Germany. Years of horror began - a life-and-death struggle. Leonora’s father, Maik Messing, a baker from the southern Harz region, did all he could to get his daughter out.
He suddenly found himself in touch with traffickers and talking to Al Qaeda -- a previously inconceivable scenario. He was fighting for his daughter’s life and gripped by constant fear; at one point he thought she might even be dead.
After seven years, Leonora returned to Germany. After a short spell in prison, she was eventually put on trial. Readjusting to life back in her home country was a challenge for Leonora and her family. Her traumatic experiences haunt her. A team of reporters documented this moving story about guilt, blame and second chances.

The Gazan Women Turning to Hamas
Oct 30, 2023
Tired of years of endemic corruption, Palestinian women are turning their backs on Fatah and supporting Hamas. But having voted for change, the pressure is now on Hamas to deliver.
Subscribe to Journeyman here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...
When Nahida Sleibi's husband was injured, Hamas was the only organisation who came to her help. "Hamas is able to reach out to women through financial assistance", explains politician Intisar Al-Wazir. It runs a network of schools and hospitals which have a reputation for being efficient and corruption free. But while its social policies won it the female vote, rumours Hamas plans to implement Sharia Law have alienated some women. Others are worried about the financial implications of its rigid foreign policy. As Nuha states: "We're concerned the international community will reject us and things like petrol will be refused to us."
