The Kandari Chronicles

Committed to sharing knowledge, stories and commentary about the Middle East through audio essays about topics such as history, folklore, society and politics.The sharing is not strictly about relaying knowledge, but also about documenting and preserving elements of culture that in today’s educational system might be challenged by oversight or struggling with potential gradual irrelevance. The commentary revolves around looking at simple realities or concepts, but with a slight change of perspective; hoping that this minute change of view

    ATOMIC ZION - Israel's Ticking Time Bomb

    While the global spotlight shines on nuclear threats from Iran and North Korea, one state's arsenal remains shrouded in secrecy: Israel. With an estimated 80–400 nuclear warheads and a long history of military aggression and immoral behaviour, Israel has never signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT)—and yet it receives virtually no international scrutiny but plenty of aid and diplomatic cover.

    TERROR IN THE SHADOWS – Zionist Leaders with Checkered Pasts

    All societies must look back at their past with a critical eye. To accept that at some points along their histories there were inappropriate, immoral and even evil acts of injustice towards others. In the case of Israel, no action, especially immoral and evil acts, are even held to account. On the contrary, these acts are blessed and held high not as acts of terror but only as acts of resistance.

    SEARCHING FOR MORALITY – A Supposed Israeli Defense Forces’ Core Value

    Most Western political leadership repeat the term The Most Moral Army in the world, when referring to the Israeli Defense Forces, the IDF. Such propaganda is typically left unchecked by the mainstream media regardless of what the common person sees right before their eyes in terms of genocidal actions taken by the IDF.

    THE IDEA OF ARAB UNITY - A Dream Deferred or a Path to Progress

    Arab unity over the last century has been in the words, minds and lore of all Arabs. This idea that all Arabs have a collective consciousness that makes them a powerful group of connected people rose to glory over a half century, only to come quickly crashing down thereafter. So, what make the Arabs think this way of themselves? What are the unifying factors, and what are the opposing realities that combat this dream of a union?

    DEHUMANISATION OF PALESTINIANS – A Story Driven by Zionist Jealousy

    Nothing can justify a superiority complex by one group of people over another. Superiority is one thing when discussing the Zionist attitudes towards the greater population of the world, but when it comes to Palestinians, superiority doesn’t even come close to the dehumanising strategies and actions that have taken place over the course of the last century.

  6. 15

    A HYPOCRISY OF VALUES – Exposing the Duality of the Arab Personality

    Once Arabs began the shift in their way of life, of their nomadism and slowly became urbanised, the internal conflict between their tribal belief and behavioural systems continued for many centuries. Not enough time elapsed to gradually migrate the mindset from one shaped in the desert versus the a mentality requiring new sets of rules, civility and behaviour. Even those that had been modernised for many decades or centuries, retain certain fundamental traditions of the tribal consciousness.

  7. 14

    STEREOTYPING ARABS – A Timeless Hollywood Tradition

    Arabs suffer from a long and systematic stereotyping from the West. From the Orientalist movement of the 18th century till today, Western perceptions of Arabs and by extension Muslims, are based on what they have been conditioned to believe through the media be it in the form of literature, art, and more recently, movies and television, the tribal sheikh, the belly dancing concubine, the filthy rich oil billionaire and the token terrorist.

    HASBARA'S LAST STAND – The Final Days of Zionism’s Propaganda Machine

    Zionism over the last century has had the upper hand in spinning its web of narratives concerning the occupation of the Palestinian territories. Such a well-coordinated task was left to the Hasbara, Israel's propaganda machine, which decade after next, was able to brainwash most of the Western world, the global powers at the time, in dehumanising the Palestinian people and justifying all the inhumane actions committed by Zionists.

    THE COLLAPSE OF THE ZIONIST STATE – Revealing Israel’s Moral Decay

    The beginning of a nation for Palestinians won’t come with a peace. No Zionist has shown any will for a peaceful resolution to the crisis. The opportunity for a Palestinian state will only come with the likeliest of fates, and that is the end of the Zionist state as we know. Not due to any war or forced global pressure, but only through the increasing moral decay of the nation, through its own fragmentation and ultimately through the renunciation and total end to Zionism.

  10. 11

    CONFESSIONS OF AN OCCUPIER - Zionist Leaders In Their Own Words

    We delve into the disturbing history of racist and extremist rhetoric used by Zionist leaders. From the early days to the present, we uncover the shocking statements that have fuelled tensions in the Middle East and beyond. We bring together the chain of various statements made over the last 150 years that shed light and provide proof that what has and is happening to this today is not an exception, but part of a larger and consistent plan to overrun, displace and dehumanise the Palestinian people.

  11. 10

    THE PROMISED LAND – Who Did God Promise it to?

    In the later part of the 19th century, the major selling point for Zionists to convince Western nations to grant them the lands of Canaan revolved around the ancient promise that God had made. Zionism insisted that the victors of both World Wars had to acknowledge and believe that Palestine were rightfully theirs as it was written in the holy book. God had spoken. No one argue with that!

    EMBRACING ALNAKBA'S PAIN - How the Arabs Lost to the Jews

    The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 was a pivotal moment, shaping the modern Middle East. We meticulously examine the factors contributing to the Arab military's underwhelming performance during the war, going beyond the surface-level narratives. Through extensive research and unbiased analysis, we aim to uncover the complex reasons behind this outcome.

    HEBREW IS DEAD. LONG LIVE HEBREW! - Zionism’s Invention of a Common Language

    Zionism has masterminded a narrative that includes all types of history’s retelling. Part of this myth is the story of how the Jewish people throughout their long past have been one people with one history, culture & identity. Nonetheless Zionists attempt to convince the world that the Jews were one, even to the extent by making statements that Hebrew, the religious language of the Jews rarely used over the 2000 years was alive and kicking, evolved into modern Hebrew.

    SECURING THE REALM - American Prophesy or Zionist Conspiracy?

    Ever wondered how US policy towards the Middle East reflects Israel's interests? This video dives deep into the intricate web of lobbying, political influence, and strategic alliances that shapes an integrated Israeli - US foreign policy on the region.

  15. 6

    THE BOY WHO CRIED HOLOCAUST – Zionism’s Transference of Trauma

    Is it ok to use the Holocaust and its perpetrators as analogy for recent potential threats? Is it ok for Israel to label whoever is her enemy as or identify them as monsters about to commit another genocide of the Jews? This is the approach by the leadership of Israel over the last 50 years.

  16. 5

    FROM THE RIVER TO THE RIVER – The Zionist Endgame

    We explore the concept of Greater Israel from a Zionist perspective, from its interpretation in scripture, to its misrepresentation by the inception of the Zionist movement in the late 19th century and its implications for the Middle East region.

  17. 4

    ISRAEL’S DEMOCRATIC DECEPTION – Not All People Are Created Equal.

    Democracies as we think of them have one main element that is absolute, is that all are created equal, in how all have the same opportunities to seek their path in life without subjugation or the preferential treatment of a majority or group over another. To have the same freedoms and rights of your other compatriots. These are the principles in how democracies are judged. If these fundamentals are not honoured, then one may not call them democracies.

  18. 3

    OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW - The Creation of an Israeli Culture

    We delve into the “Whys” and “Hows” of the creation and forcefully promoted unified Jewish culture by the Zionist movement. As the nation of Israel emerged, there was a collective effort to create and nurture a sense of common identity among Jews that were now inhabiting their new home. Regardless of where their origins were, Zionists claimed that there was a singular Jewish and Israeli history, heritage and culture that was held deep within the hearts and souls of Jews.

    ARAB REJECTION OF ZIONISM – It’s Way Earlier Than You Think!

    When we think back on Palestine and Israel, many seem to think violence started only when Hamas infiltrated the Jewish country in October 2023. Others think the conflict started earlier as in the lack of consensus concerning the United Nations partition plan for Palestine, how the Arabs rejected such an offering from the international community. #palestine #zionism #zionistagenda #zionistregime #israel

    REDISCOVERING THE PARTITIONING OF PALESTINE – A Foundation for Injustice

    In what seems like endless instability in Palestine & Israel, one gets lost with the quantity of information. We look for a version of the truth to help us avoid our potential fears imbedded in such a crisis. There are indisputable facts that are veiled by the many narratives. One such narrative was the UN’s partitioning of Palestine into two states. #palestine #jew #nation #united #land #partition #injustice #crisis #british #balfour #settlement
