[00:00:00] supposed to grow up, sleep safely in his mother's arms.
[00:00:03] Here his seven-year-old brother left and slowly discover the world around
[00:00:07] him. Instead, his life lasted just 20 days.
[00:00:11] During a US- Israeli air strike on Tehran,
[00:00:14] a residential building in the Majidia area was strike. Muhammad Ali,
[00:00:18] his mother, his seven-year-old brother and several other family members
[00:00:22] were killed while visiting relatives at their home. The
[00:00:25] explosion was so powerful that the baby's body was
[00:00:29] a thrown out
[00:00:29] of the house. He was only 20 days
[00:00:32] old, he was not a soldier, he was not a
[00:00:35] politician, he carried no weapon and had no role in the conflict, he
[00:00:39] was true cost of war is not measured only by
[00:00:42] in numbers, sometimes
[00:00:44] it is measured by
[00:00:45] a silent cradle, by
[00:00:47] a tiny piece of clothing that will never be worn, by
[00:00:51] room where a baby's cries will never be heard
[00:00:55] of again, that is why the story of Muhammad Ali is
[00:00:58] of more than the story of one victory. It forces
[00:01:01] a simple question: when war reaches baby's room,
[00:01:05] what happens to our ideas of security, humanity and the value of
[00:01:09] human life. For many Iranians, Muhammad Ali's name carries
[00:01:12] even deeper meaning. In Shia Muslim tradition, the name
[00:01:16] Aliaskar recalls the
[00:01:18] of youngest son of Imam Hussein a baby who became one
[00:01:21] of the most powerful symbols of innocence and suffering during the
[00:01:25] tragedy of Karbala, centuries
[00:01:27] of separate Aliaskar from Muhammad Ali. different
[00:01:31] of wars, of different times, different places, but the image
[00:01:35] is painfully caught in violence. he did not choose, caught in
[00:01:39] violence, he did not choose and could never understand. for many
[00:01:42] Iranians, muhammad ali became modern reminder of that
[00:01:46] same innocence, a child who had not even had the chance to
[00:01:49] discover what life was before war took it away. he was
[00:01:53] born into war
[00:01:55] a and he died in it. his entire life lasted 20 days. that is
[00:01:58] why his name should never disappear into a list of casualties,
[00:02:02] for his memory to survive, his story must be told for years to
[00:02:06] come. 20 days of life, lifetime of
[00:02:10] remembrance.
[00:02:17] of
[00:02:21] of
[00:02:21] a
[00:02:35] Tonight on expose we begin with mainstream digital media where the New York Times
[00:02:39] and the Hill reveal turmoil at the highest levels
[00:02:42] of the
[00:02:43] me Trump administration. From the
[00:02:45] me of resignation
[00:02:48] of of the army secretary to military descent over the war against
[00:02:49] of Iran. Then in social media we turn to the explosive criticism confronting
[00:02:53] Washington over its increally apologetic alignment with
[00:02:56] Zionist Israel. In fake news CNN's framing. Iranian
[00:03:00] retaliation comes under scrutiny while the
[00:03:04] of independent offers a remarkable glimpse into the fallout surrounding an overstretch
[00:03:08] US military and in figures we follow the numbers to
[00:03:12] Jordan examining the economic, security and human cost
[00:03:16] of hosting US forces. finally in voices,
[00:03:19] Peter Benard and John
[00:03:21] of Stewart challenge a deeply entrenched narrative about power
[00:03:25] and victimhood. welcome to expose, the award winning show
[00:03:29] that leaves no stone.
[00:03:31] of
[00:03:37] from CNN's headline flipping the chronology of Fus Iran escalation
[00:03:41] to the independent exposing the extraordinary precautions
[00:03:45] surrounding thousands of years sailors. Today's stories reveal how
[00:03:49] media framing and military conduct can tell two very
[00:03:52] different tales. Here are the headlines. CNN headline
[00:03:56] War Iran blamed for retaliation as US strikes get
[00:04:00] buried, 500 sailors, 200 days at sea, why
[00:04:04] pataya is preparing for more than a military
[00:04:06] visit?
[00:04:13] as western media
[00:04:15] of scrumble to frame Iran's retaliation as aggression while overlooking what
[00:04:19] triggered it, and as another story exposes the darker side of an
[00:04:23] overstretched US military, we
[00:04:25] a examined the narratives behind the headlines, joining us a broadcast media
[00:04:29] expert for.
[00:04:33] so US Thank the machine you
[00:04:34] media Farah, is hyped
[00:04:34] thank once you, again as Iran retaliates
[00:04:38] to relentless by targeting
[00:04:41] US aggression, US assets in Arab countries, arab countries that appear unwilling to
[00:04:45] acknowledge
[00:04:45] a simple reality, the reality is that allowing Washington to use your
[00:04:49] territory and to use your bases to attack the Islamic Republic
[00:04:53] can make you legitimate targets and can make your territory part
[00:04:55] of the battlefield, so our first example from CNN with the
[00:04:59] head. Iran attacks Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait, defying
[00:05:03] Trump's warning, so notice the wording, Iran
[00:05:06] attacks, but the reality described inside the report of course tells a
[00:05:10] different story, so let's watch. Okay. "the
[00:05:14] US military also says it strikes across the country were
[00:05:17] responding to Iran's recent attacks on US troops in the
[00:05:21] region and commercial shipping in the straight of hormoz. Iran
[00:05:25] quickly defied President Trump's warning to not retaliate and
[00:05:29] launched ballistic missile attacks on Jordan, as well as we
[00:05:32] see here, Jordan saying it intercepted 10 missiles
[00:05:36] from Iran and another three fell in remote areas.
[00:05:39] Kuwait and Bahrain say they intercepted. drone attacks from
[00:05:43] Iran. CNN's Kevin Liptach is joining us right now from
[00:05:47] the White House. What are you hearing Kevin this morning from the
[00:05:50] administration? Well, President Trump certainly does not sound
[00:05:54] like a man a hurry to get this conflict over with, despite
[00:05:58] uh the spike in oil prices and despite concerns from many of his republican
[00:06:02] allies that this could hurt them in the mid-term elections. You
[00:06:05] know, this latest round of tensions began on Sunday
[00:06:09] when the US attacked Iranian positions on Larach. island that
[00:06:13] it said we're preparing to launch uh mines into the straight
[00:06:17] of hormous, that prompted Iranian retaliation, which prompted us
[00:06:21] retaliation, which prompted Iranian retaliation back to this
[00:06:24] familiar pattern of back and forth strikes that has drawn in
[00:06:28] almost every country in the region that houses those tens
[00:06:32] of thousands of US
[00:06:34] troops.
[00:06:38] so the headline places Iran at the beginning the chain of aggression, but if you
[00:06:41] listen... to CNN's own reporter, you hear the contradiction.
[00:06:45] Yeah, actually, Kevin Liptach, CNN's reporter,
[00:06:49] acknowledges actually that the sequence began with the US attacking Iranian positions on
[00:06:53] Larak Island, and which was followed by Iranian retaliation
[00:06:57] and followed by then another US retaliation, so even CNN's own
[00:07:01] reporting is contradicting the simplistic framing of Iran as
[00:07:05] the initiator. Okay, which makes the headline particularly
[00:07:08] revealing, seem, I mean the um audiences or...
[00:07:12] sees Iran attacks Jordan, as forad is highlighting,
[00:07:16] Bahrain and Kuwait, but the report itself describes the cycle
[00:07:20] triggered by a US attack, the contact is buried
[00:07:23] beneath the headline in the story, and this is actually,
[00:07:27] miraculously how propaganda can continue to operate without inventing facts,
[00:07:31] so you selectively frame them, the words that are spoken during the report tell one
[00:07:35] story, but the headline its own is priming viewers to
[00:07:38] absorb another, even if you're present those reality, which is let's say the US inissue.
[00:07:43] Yes, uh, so now let's move from war narratives to
[00:07:47] another remarkable story, actually, the independent published Thailand
[00:07:50] issues prostitution warning as 500 US sailors arrive
[00:07:54] after 200 days at sea, so the story reports that thai authorities
[00:07:58] basically prepared additional patrols and conducted raids ahead the
[00:08:02] USS Abraham Lincoln's arrival in pataya, detaining 40 to
[00:08:06] 50 people over suspected prostitution, so let's watch
[00:08:09] that.
[00:08:52] You know it's actually ironic that uh, it's just ironic like
[00:08:56] foreign city preparing and police patrols because thousands
[00:09:00] of US sailors are arriving uh after more than 200 days
[00:09:04] at see, yes I mean indeed, sema when a military visit requires
[00:09:07] authorities to prefer specifically for a prostitution
[00:09:11] crackdown, "it raises uncomfortable question about
[00:09:15] the conduct and reputation accompanying America's
[00:09:18] global military footprint which they're very proud of. yeah, I mean, this
[00:09:22] dates back a long time, but perhaps this is another measure of you, further
[00:09:26] imperial decline uh, not simply losing influence abroad, but
[00:09:30] increasingly exporting the social and moral baggage and decay
[00:09:34] of an overstretched military presence. okay, so from distorted
[00:09:37] headlines about who started a war to the extraordinary
[00:09:40] precautions surrounding. military report visit today's stories show
[00:09:44] how media narratives and military culture can reveal far
[00:09:48] more than their headlines suggest. Fuad and thank you again,
[00:09:52] both
[00:09:54] of you.
[00:10:00] From resignations at the army's highest levels to explosive
[00:10:03] revelations of military descent over the war against the Islamic Republic of
[00:10:07] Iran. Cracks are widening across the Trump administration's national
[00:10:11] security establishment. Here are the headlines: the
[00:10:15] army in turmoil Hexeth clashes trigger resignation at
[00:10:19] the top pentagon in uprore. Classified leak exposes
[00:10:23] military descent over.
[00:10:32] As storm deepens inside the Trump administration, new reports
[00:10:36] are raising serious questions about leadership, military command and
[00:10:40] growing descent over the war against Iran. Joining us again our digital
[00:10:44] media expert, and analyst, welcome
[00:10:48] back, we start with you, thank you, so actually things appear to
[00:10:52] be taking a turn for the worst in the Trump administrator. with the army
[00:10:56] secretary Daniel P. Drisco, handing in his
[00:10:59] resignation, and simultaneously the Pentagon is erupting over this
[00:11:02] classified leak exposing military descent over the war on
[00:11:06] Iran. So let's begin with the New York Times with this article that they've
[00:11:10] published titled army secretary resigns after clashes with Hegseph over
[00:11:14] firings by Helen Cooper and Greg Joff, so this title alone tells us
[00:11:18] that disagreements over how the military is being run have actually
[00:11:22] reached the highest levels in a long time, so the... Article
[00:11:25] reports, army secretary Daniel P. Drisel, the services
[00:11:29] top civilian leader who classed repeatedly with defense secretary
[00:11:33] P. Texas over
[00:11:34] the Auster of a swath of key combat tested leaders,
[00:11:38] handed in his resignation on Monday, according to administration officials, so the
[00:11:41] resignation comes amid a series of firings and feudes that have left the army
[00:11:45] essentially rudderless as it struggles to deal with the threat posed by cheap
[00:11:49] deadly drones and missiles that have pounded US bases in the middle east. So
[00:11:53] the article continues, army has not had a chief of staff,
[00:11:57] the services top officer since Mr. Hegsaf fired Jen Randy
[00:12:00] George without explanation back in April, and there are no signs that he is
[00:12:04] close to filling the position, officials said, so Hack Seth has
[00:12:08] forced out at least three senior officers who had been viewed as potential
[00:12:12] successors to General Randy George, and when senior
[00:12:16] generals is being removed, while the army lacks a
[00:12:19] permanent chief of staff, um, this goes beyond an
[00:12:23] internal political uh dispute, actually it raises major
[00:12:27] question, sema about command and also about
[00:12:30] control, at the moment when American forces are facing actually two
[00:12:34] things, an active and expanding regional
[00:12:37] conflict, exactly, and you have experience commanders being pushed out,
[00:12:41] senior positions remaining vacant, and strategic disagreements
[00:12:45] basically reaching the top the chain of command, so this is a really dangerous
[00:12:48] combination during wart specifically, yeah, and the term does not stop at the
[00:12:52] army, actually, so the hill reported also an article that was titled pentagon
[00:12:56] erupts over classified leak of Iran war descent that top
[00:12:59] military leaders warned against extending these large
[00:13:03] scale operations as they call them against Iran
[00:13:06] so the article says the warnings appear in the August 14th edition the
[00:13:10] Secretary of Defense Orders Book SDOB detailed by the heads the Army
[00:13:14] Navy and Air Force and the four star commanders overseeing US operations throughout
[00:13:17] Europe Asia and Latin America. It continues people familiar with the
[00:13:21] classified assessment prepared for Hegs have told the Washington. that
[00:13:25] several combatant commanders have advised the defense chief that prolonging
[00:13:29] operations against Iran is unsustainable and it risks weakening the
[00:13:33] US's ability to address threats elsewhere, including on US
[00:13:36] soil. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnel condemned the
[00:13:40] report saying publishing highly classified assessments from the secretaries orders
[00:13:44] book is a crime. It's a betrayal the forest, and he added that the Pentagon
[00:13:48] wants candid advice and that disagreements are common. But if
[00:13:52] military commanders themselves actually are warning that prolonging
[00:13:56] this war is unsustainable um that suggests actually that
[00:14:00] this agreement may be far more consequential than
[00:14:03] ordinary internal debate, don't you agree for? yeah, that's right, and when
[00:14:07] descent, leadership, perges and classified leaks emerge
[00:14:10] simultaneously, the bigger story is institutional strain, and the question is
[00:14:14] whether political leadership is listening to its military professionals or
[00:14:18] overriding them. okay, so also therefore, from resignations at the top to
[00:14:22] military leaders warning against prolonging the... war, the reports
[00:14:26] point a Pentagon under extraordinary pressure, semant for. Thank you
[00:14:30] so
[00:14:30] much.
[00:14:38] From explosive clashes with reporters, the controversial statements
[00:14:42] on Zianus Israel, top Trump administration officials are
[00:14:45] facing mounting scrutiny online over whether Washington's foreign policy
[00:14:49] is really serving American interest. Here are the headlines.
[00:14:53] America first or... design is first. Social media takes
[00:14:57] aim at Trump officials Washington
[00:15:00] under fire. The Trump administration's Israely entity
[00:15:04] allegiance parks online.
[00:15:06] Fury.
[00:15:14] As American politicians increasingly appear to speak for Zionist
[00:15:18] Israel rather than the American interest. Social media users
[00:15:22] are asking just how far this alignment can go. joining
[00:15:25] us to examine the controversy is social media exper and
[00:15:29] analyst welcome to you both thank you so
[00:15:33] netics have been frantic actually this past week over the all
[00:15:37] facious way that senior figures in the Trump administration are speaking about
[00:15:41] Zionist Israel and US policy with Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of
[00:15:45] War and the Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the center of this criticism, so
[00:15:49] let's begin with a post that's questioning the priorities of America's military
[00:15:52] leadership,
[00:15:53] and it's controversial actually, because Americans are asking whether US
[00:15:57] forces should be serving US interests first, maybe, yes,
[00:16:01] so JBC press wrote,
[00:16:05] Pete Hexeth exploded in anger at reporter. asked him why our military
[00:16:08] serves Israel first, so let's watch that video
[00:16:11] together. the American people also want to know what they're
[00:16:14] sending their men and women to war for, are is
[00:16:18] there a concern of this spiraling into a longer war and then one for the
[00:16:22] chairman when you're done? did you not hear my
[00:16:25] remarks? we're ensuring the mission gets
[00:16:28] accomplished, but we are very clear eyeed as the president has been unlike other
[00:16:32] presidents uh about the foolish policies the
[00:16:36] past that.
[00:16:53] and that question goes directly to the heart the controversy, mean who
[00:16:57] exactly is Washington accountable to, that's right, and the reaction is very
[00:17:01] significant because dismissing the question doesn't make the underlying concern
[00:17:05] disappear, it reinforces the perception. that criticism the
[00:17:09] US-Israeli relationship itself is becoming politically unacceptable,
[00:17:12] yes, yeah, there's a reason for that. yep, the next post actually focuses
[00:17:16] on Rubio and a disputed account of how Washington became involved in the war on
[00:17:20] Iran, so for Americans the controversy lies in whether their government is
[00:17:24] being transparent or not about the decisions that could send them
[00:17:28] to war. so Morgan J Freeman, MJ Free
[00:17:31] wrote, porter says, he told us wrote porter
[00:17:35] says, he told us yesterday that Israel was going to... strike Iran, which says, "that's
[00:17:39] not true. were you there yesterday?" and then the reporter says, "yes, I asked you the
[00:17:43] question. let's take a look at that video.
[00:17:44] yes. yesterday you told
[00:17:48] us that Israel was going to strike iran and that that's why we
[00:17:52] needed to get involved. today the president said that Iran was going to get.
[00:17:56] yeah, your statement is false. so that's not
[00:17:57] what i was asked very specifically. were you there yesterday? yes,
[00:18:00] question. wait a minute, there
[00:18:04] absolutely was an imminent threat, and the imminent threat was that we knew that..." Iran was
[00:18:08] attacked and we believe they would be attacked, that we knew
[00:18:11] that if Iran was attacked and we believe they
[00:18:15] would be attacked that they would immediately come after us. Now did you, were
[00:18:19] you the one that cuz somebody asked a question, did we, were you the one that cuz somebody asked a question
[00:18:23] answer, did we go in because of Israel,
[00:18:25] and I said, you answer, I told you this had to happen anyway, the president made
[00:18:29] decision, and the decision he made was that Iran was not going to be allowed to systematically
[00:18:32] destroy this terroristic capability that they had, and we carried that out. I was very
[00:18:36] clear on that answer. "this was a question of timing of why this had to happen as a joint
[00:18:40] operation, not the question the
[00:18:41] intent. the exchange raise
[00:18:45] much bigger even question that what we're trying to analyze about
[00:18:49] accountability, for example, when decisions involving ward
[00:18:53] are being challenged even publicly, exactly, and social media
[00:18:57] magnifies that confrontation because millions can see how officials are
[00:19:01] being directly questioned and judge the answers for themselves.
[00:19:04] yeah, definitely, and our third post actually..." even more
[00:19:08] disturbing, presenting the statement attributed to an Israeli
[00:19:11] entity minister addressing soldiers before entering Gaza, because of this content
[00:19:15] actually it has triggered outrage online and
[00:19:18] internationally, so Mo Abu Salah, a
[00:19:22] historical scandal that the whole world must see, the Israeli minister
[00:19:26] addresses the Israeli soldiers before entering Gaza saying, grab the babies in Gaza and
[00:19:30] smash their heads on the rocks, so let's watch
[00:19:33] this.
[00:19:37] ספת לטובת המאמץ המלחמתי של החטיבה הפרולה
[00:19:41] חתיבת גיבתי היות וקיבלתי כל פעם הערות
[00:19:45] לגבי תחום הציונות אנחנו מתחילים שתחילת התדריך אנחנו היום עושים
[00:19:49] ציונות בהפתעה אני הולך להתקשר עכשיו באיזשהו סר
[00:19:52] מהכנסת עושים לו טלפון
[00:19:54] בהפתעה אנחנו עושים פה ציונות בהפתעה אתה
[00:19:58] שומע יפה יש לי פה סתכל חבורת
[00:20:02] לוחמים מדהימה הולכת להילחם להיכנס פה
[00:20:06] בשיא הכוח אני צריך. 30 שניות של ציונות, יש לך על
[00:20:09] השעון, אני פותח השעון, 30 שניות, שר בהפתעה, זה נקרא,
[00:20:13] אין בעיה, שומעים אותי, שומעים אותי, נוחמים יקרים
[00:20:17] וגיבורים, לא רק עיני עם ישראל מפורות
[00:20:21] אליכם, אלא עיניהם של דורות על גבי דורות, שעוקו
[00:20:25] והושפנו, נרמסו ונהרגו מבלי היכולת שלהם להגן על
[00:20:28] עצמם, הם קיבו וחלמו שיום אחד יקום עם מעפר
[00:20:32] יאכות בנשקוב ויקב, אשרי שיאכז ונפט
[00:20:36] את הליך אל הסלע.
[00:20:50] whether Washington is drawing a line between criticizing the Israeli
[00:20:54] regime and criticizing the United States itself, yes,
[00:20:57] so Marco Rubio officially, now is this a GBC press
[00:21:01] again, that anyone who dares to criticize Israel will not be
[00:21:04] granted a US visa, by the way, this doesn't apply if you
[00:21:08] criticize the US itself, so let's
[00:21:10] watch, under president Trump, the
[00:21:14] United States will stand with the Jewish people,
[00:21:18] we have implemented a vigorous new visa policy that will prevent
[00:21:22] foreign nationals from coming to the United States to foment hatred against
[00:21:26] our Jewish community. We are holding international organizations and
[00:21:30] nations accountable for rhetoric against Israel that resurfaces in the
[00:21:33] manifesto of monsters like Yoron and Sarah's
[00:21:37] Killer. But we do see eventual light at the end of this long
[00:21:40] tunnel of suffering. One can imagine a middle east and which the
[00:21:44] Abraham accords eventually reign. So thank you for the
[00:21:48] opportunity to address you.
[00:21:54] so these posts actually collectively are reflecting ever growing
[00:21:57] online argument over whether US foreign policy is being driven by US
[00:22:01] interests strictly or of course by this unwavering
[00:22:05] loyalty that we've seen develop over the years to zionist Israel.
[00:22:09] okay, well as social media continues challenging Washington's official
[00:22:13] narrative, the real question is whether American citizens are still
[00:22:16] being allowed to question the policies carried out in their
[00:22:20] name seam and thank you
[00:22:22] very
[00:22:30] much from missiles raining over Jordanian territory to soaring coast and
[00:22:33] battered tourism sector, the numbers tell a story of a country
[00:22:37] paying the price for hosting America's military footprint in the region.
[00:22:41] Here are the headlines. Jordan pays the price,
[00:22:45] 119 projectiles, 14 injured and
[00:22:49] economy under. pressure, America's war, Jordan's
[00:22:52] bill, the hidden cost of hosting US
[00:22:55] forces.
[00:23:03] As Jordan absorbs the economic and security fallout the US
[00:23:07] zinist aggression against Iran, the numbers reveal the price of
[00:23:11] allowing foreign military operations to be launch from its
[00:23:15] territory. Joining us is senior researcher Miriam Sharabati and
[00:23:18] analymayim, welcome to you both. Miriam: Thank you, Farah,
[00:23:22] the figures tell a very striking story of a country caught between the
[00:23:26] dependence on Washington and the consequences of Washington's regional
[00:23:29] wars. Now, Jordan has faced 119 missiles and
[00:23:33] drones launched toward its territory during the escalation with its air
[00:23:37] defenses intercepting the fast majority, but interception
[00:23:41] does not mean there is no cost. Falling Debris and shrapnill
[00:23:45] have caused 14 reported injuries along with localized damage and
[00:23:48] disruption. military installations hosting US forces, including
[00:23:52] the airbase and have become
[00:23:56] targets and then comes the economic price, right,
[00:24:00] right, tourism, which accounts for nearly 15% of Jordan's
[00:24:04] GDP, has been badly hit, fuel and gas
[00:24:07] prices rose by roughly 11% after the complicated
[00:24:11] complications of trade and investment prospects around,
[00:24:14] okay, so obviously Jordan is effectively paying a
[00:24:18] price for hosting the military. structure that makes it part
[00:24:21] the conflict, and as you're highlighting, medium, while it's
[00:24:24] economy is deteriorating according to your article,
[00:24:28] absolutely, and there this is where the political responsibility cannot be
[00:24:32] ignored, right? Jordan remains heavily dependent on Washington,
[00:24:36] receiving up to two billion annually in US military and economic
[00:24:39] assistance, yet when missiles and drones begin reaching
[00:24:43] Jordanian territory, that relationship does not necessarily shield
[00:24:47] ordinary jordanians from the constituence. It's a painful contradiction
[00:24:51] actually, because Jordan is still benefiting from the strategic relationship with Washington, but at
[00:24:55] the same time this relationship is exposing it to retaliation and which is connected
[00:24:59] to a war that it did not initiate. Absolutely, and
[00:25:02] this kind of brings us back to the responsibility the Jordanian regime
[00:25:06] itself, it if it permits US forces to use
[00:25:10] Jordanian territory as a platform for operations against
[00:25:14] Iran, it also has responsibility to protect its
[00:25:17] population from the consequences, for sure. "the public should not be expected
[00:25:21] to absorb the risks of American and Israeli entity regional
[00:25:25] adventures while receiving litter protection from the follow and
[00:25:28] the uh 90 119 projectiles that you are
[00:25:32] actually highlighting make the risk intangible, miriam because
[00:25:36] this is no longer simply geopolitical
[00:25:40] calculation taking place on maps every now and then it is reaching
[00:25:43] jordanian communities affecting the economy as you previously highlighted,
[00:25:47] infrastructure and also livelihoods, yes precisely and these figures that you're
[00:25:51] presenting are exposing this imbalance, Jordan is bearing the immediate security and
[00:25:54] economic costs, and then at the same time it's dependence on Washington is making
[00:25:58] it very difficult to pursue any kind of independent course, exactly so... we're
[00:26:02] talking 14 injuries, 119 incoming missiles and
[00:26:06] drones, 11% rise in fuel and gas
[00:26:09] prices, and tourism sector representing 15% of
[00:26:13] GDP under pressure, all point to a country paying the
[00:26:17] price for its strategic and uncalculated, and as the
[00:26:20] regional war expands, the question becomes whether Jordan
[00:26:24] will continue absorbing the consequences of foreign military presence
[00:26:28] its soil. medium and sema, thank you.
[00:26:38] and a striking conversation on the daily show two Jewish voices
[00:26:42] confront the devastating transformation of power challenging
[00:26:46] the familiar David and Goliath narrative in the context of
[00:26:49] Zianis Israel's war of genocide on
[00:26:52] Gaza. Peter Benard, editor at large at Jewish
[00:26:56] currents, author the Benart notebook on substack
[00:27:00] and professor at the newmark. school of journalism joins host
[00:27:04] John Stewart for a conversation that cuts through political
[00:27:08] tabues. Let us watch
[00:27:10] it together. What happens when
[00:27:13] David becomes Goliath, and the
[00:27:17] responsibility there, is that what troubles
[00:27:20] you? Yeah, I mean, our responsibility is to
[00:27:23] remember, is to remember what was done to us, to remember
[00:27:27] what we would have wanted people around the world. I'm not saying
[00:27:30] that what's happening in Gaza is the equivalent the holocaust or any. like that, but with
[00:27:33] happening in, it may be slow. i
[00:27:36] saw an article in the times, bret stepens, i think, and his argument
[00:27:40] was, this can't be
[00:27:41] a genocide, because Israel's so strong they could kill them much quicker,
[00:27:45] right? and i thought, well, that's the most cynical description of a
[00:27:49] military siege and a purposeful starvation that i've ever seen in
[00:27:53] my life. right, mean even Israel's leading human rights organization, but salom has just
[00:27:57] come out with report saying they believe this is genocide, so it
[00:28:01] seems to me if if we want
[00:28:02] to remember our history, if we want to honor those in our own families
[00:28:06] and of our people who were slaughtered and who were genocided, who
[00:28:10] were starved to death while nobody in the world cared, our obligation is
[00:28:14] to care, our obligation is to risk something,
[00:28:18] listen man, this
[00:28:22] has this has rocked my, i feel like crazy person, i
[00:28:25] feel like i'm watching something
[00:28:27] that is so
[00:28:29] self-evidently inhumane,
[00:28:33] and horrific and to be told that I have
[00:28:37] to shut up because I
[00:28:40] risk the Jewish state by speaking out, I would
[00:28:44] say the opposite, I think not, I think they're putting the
[00:28:48] likelihood
[00:28:49] of a surviving Jewish state much more at risk with this
[00:28:53] type of action, I think they're the
[00:28:55] ones that are that are being
[00:28:58] anti if you want to define the definition of.
[00:29:02] antisemitism would probably have to bomb himself. I
[00:29:06] mean,
[00:29:10] ladies and gentlemen, with that we conclude our expos for tonight right here on Press TV,
[00:29:14] until next week, question the headline, trace the source and never surrender your
[00:29:17] judgment.
