“A land without a people, and a people without a land” is how the relationship between Palestine and the Jewish people was described by Christian writers in the 1800s. And the 20th-century history of the Middle East has largely been written through these eyes. But this film from Al Jazeera Arabic looks at Palestine from a different angle. It hears from historians and witness accounts, and features archive documents that show Palestine as a thriving province of Greater Syria and the Ottoman Empire at the dawn of the 20th century. The evidence suggests that its cities had a developing trade and commercial sector, growing infrastructure, and embryonic culture that would enable it to meet the challenges of the decades ahead. However, the political ramifications of the Balfour Declaration, San Remo Conference and British Mandate set in motion a series of events that profoundly affected this vibrant, fledgeling society and led to the events of 1948 and beyond. This film is the other side of the Palestinian story.

Yale University has been making headlines lately — and not in a good way — as Dr. Naomi Wolf has been giving them hell over their Covid-19 vax mandate. Yale is requiring students, most between the ages of 17 and 22, to take the bivalent booster tested on eight mice in order to continue their education for the spring semester — while allowing their faculty a pass on the latest shot. “My husband’s a private investigator, an intel guy, and he found a shocking paper trail from Yale’s own records and from a government database that tracks funding,” shared Dr. Wolf. “So basically, Yale’s making more money now from HHS than from the students’ tuitions. Yale got has gotten $9 billion from HHS since 1998 — and 1.7 billion since COVID began. And they just, in 2022, got $607 million from HHS and only $475 million from tuition. So you do the math! They need HHS more than they need their students.” Yale also got another $3.4 million for student emergency care funding during COVID. That is — masking, distancing, vaccinations, and so on. “There’s a dead link when you try to find out what exactly HHS is paying for with student emergency treatment during COVID.”
