Great discussion, it deserved far more time. Thank you 👍👍👍
awesome work
One aspect that this discussion hasn't covered is the usual question: Follow The Money.
As I understand it, the British Treasury issued 'Bradbury Nores' since the Commercial Banks in The city would not fund the British War effort.
This is very quiet. It is hard to hear what Bernard Regan is saying.
To be honest
As reasonable this „30 Minutes Concept“ may normally be. Sometimes it is definitely way too short.
This is very informative
Tariq Ali was a close friend of Malcolm X
+TeleSUR English please provide me the info on the name of the tune & composer of your intro music; the violin piece - simply excellent
"SEMITISM", according to Webster's and ALL of the other dictionaries, means you "Practice or believe in SHOWING JEWS FAVOR”... "SEMITIC" refers to ALL of the people of the area, Palestinians, Syrians and yes, isralies too... THEREFORE, "antisemitism" and "antisemitic" mean two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT things... I LOVE Palestinian people, I do NOT believe in showing ANYONE "favor", ESPECIALLY anyone that believe they are BORN SUPERIOR to ME... that I and everyone else is "just Goyim"... That is the MOST SUPREMACIST set of beliefs in the world and I'm ALLOWED to THINK that way and CHOOSE to NOT support it!! The one thing I do KNOW, I've been BEGGING for someone of that "faith"/NATIONAL IDENTITY to come TALK to me and EXPLAIN to me what I'm "WRONG about", EXPLAIN to me WHY we give israel (a "FIRST WORLD" country) 3.8 BILLION DOLLARS a year INSTEAD of using it to fund ANTI-PEDOPHILE groups or Veterans groups or Women's Rights groups or a PLETHORA of other BETTER causes, EXPLAIN to me ANY of the stuff that is supposedly "non-existent" and EXPLAIN what other reasons people feel the way they do about israel? I am a PERSON OF COLOR, my grandfather was a CONCENTRATION CAMP SURVIVOR, so you CAN'T just write me off as "some dumb skinhead", yet I NEVER have ANYBODY that believes my OPINION WORTHY enough to come TRY to "adjust" it. I'm just supposed to believe a bunch of stuff that DOESN'T MAKE SENSE (well, OTHER than "conspiracy") because it makes people uncomfortable talking about it.. AND/OR, I'm RIGHT and people don't LIKE that... I'm open to being wrong, but again, I'm just not worthy enough, apparently... Just look at all of the responses I will get on THIS comment.. anybody who ASKS QUESTIONS or points out the INCREDIBLE HYPOCRISY and OBVIOUS APARTHEID going on, like Ben & Jerry's saying they no longer want to sell in ILLEGALLY OCCUPIED TERRITORIES (STILL selling IN israel though), gets INSTANTLY labeled as someone who "hates jews", when Ben & Jerry's is a JEWISH COMPANY.. how does that work??? How is it that retirement funds for average people are being threatened over this? How come nobody's really talking about it? Again, I'd LOVE to be WRONG, I'd LOVE for SOMEBODY to just come EXPLAIN it to me ANY of this, but NOBODY ever seems WILLING, because APPARENTLY I'M just beneath YOU.. am I WRONG?
Sure wish this had some volume.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence that the year the Balfour decoration was presented or made or whatever, just happens to be the year the Spanish Flu distracted everyone
Grace and peace.
The question must be asked in all this conversation, where are the real Hebrew Israelites that were given the land and then removed for disobedience from Israel in 70AD?
It is clear that those in Israel that are calling themselves Jews are not, but Europeans from Russia, Turkish group, or Khazars.
They also call themselves Ashkenazi Jews. Ashkenazi were from the tribe of Gomer, gentiles, not Shem, Shemitic.
Sounds like a lot of lies going on here, help me out?
4:00 "Oil was becoming a critical commodity"
And yet when Ataturk negotiated the incorporation of Mosul into Iraq (1924)
oil hardly featured. The Turks accepted 10% of revenue, then sold that for £500,000.
(I assume to the proprietors BP ?)
5:50 "Great rivalry with the French in the Levant"
Ironically it was Napoleon's invasion of Egypt that
dragged Britain into the Middle East.
Napoleon's strategy was to defeat Britain by attacking
its trade with India
"After Aboukir Bay 3 Aug 1798 Napoleon was stranded."
"16 May 1806, Napoleon issued the Berlin Decree on 21 November 1806, which brought into effect a large-scale embargo against British trade. ... All connections with Britain were to be cut, even the mail"
"A secret treaty with Russia (1807) to divide Europe and share the Ottoman Empire.....a treaty with Persia ......hoping to strike the British in India".
(Those quotes are from my notes).
Even in (1840) the first Afghan war, the Russians were negotiating with
the Persians to threaten Britain in India.
7:00 "Capitulation in the Ottoman Empire"
The Ottomans had huge loans they couldn't pay, so gave economic Capitulations
to their creditors. Salt and Tobacco were handed over, and produced revenue which covered the interest. Other industries were handed over : the Europeans would invest in these and make them much more productive : employment, regional prosperity and Turkish tax revenue all increased.
" Ottoman Public Debt, 25% to pay the Ottoman debt and the ... also be permitted to establish monopolies on such goods as cigarette paper, playing cards, and salt."
9:00 "Britain needed to show they had an interest : a people who they had to defend"
When they negotiated Mosul with the Turks there was no mention of "an interest".
They simply pointed to the inhabitants who wanted nothing to do with Turkey.
In the negotiations over Alexandretta (Iskenderun), a referendum was agreed upon and Britain turned a blind eye to its being rigged in the Turks favour.

Ottoman South Syria was a bloodbath from Napoleon's siege of Acre and Jaffa in 1798 until the death of Muhammad Ali in 1840. The Ottomans invited the Jews, who were being expelled and murdered in the Russian Empire, to come and rebuild the country.
I heard they barred Jews from buying land
@@hyperborea9289 In feudal societies, land = wealth. Christian and Muslim societies have usually banned the Jews from owning land.
@@jonlenihan4798 I'm saying the ottomans didn't want the Zionist going there and banned them from buying land they even try resettlement of armenian circassian there to stop the Zionist
@@hyperborea9289 Before 1840, there was no private property in the Ottoman Empire. Lands were granted for the lifetime of a grant holder, by the Sultan. In practice, when a grant holder died, his heir went to Istanbul, brought the Sultan a gift, and renewed the grant. Usually.
The tanzimat reforms changed the system to one of land ownership. In Ottoman South Syria, the large landowners increased their share by claiming lands that belonged to small farmers, and lands that were held communally by villages. Small farmers and villages had not the wherewithal to go to Istanbul and properly register their own claims.
In about 1870, Russia began implementing a Jew-elimination program: one third by forced conversion, one third by forced emigration, and one third by murder. Soon Jewish refugees began arriving in Ottoman South Syria. The local landowners sold land to the Jews at hugely inflated prices, including lands that the small farmers and villagers thought they owned.
Conflict followed. There may have been times when land sales were suspended. I don't remember. Look it up. But landowners eager to sell and Jewish refugees eager to buy, would have been the dominating dynamic over the long run.
You mean palestine outside Israel.
A lot of talk about nothing but speculation 100 years after the fact with no documentation at all. Write a book to make a buck and muddy the history waters for $$$$$$.
The Jews didnt have a homeland? Didnt God give them the promised land? 😮
One thing i wanted to point out, so many people think the Balfour Declaration created Israel which we know is false.
From 1918 to 1948 the British didn't give 1 inch of land to the Jews.
The British on the other hand gave 77% of the Mandate borders to the the Arabs in 1922 and named the country after the Jordan River. ( Jordan) The British also gave out the White paper in 39 barring all Jewish immigration while letting thousands of Arabs immigrate during this time.
Good article to read.
