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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Hexagrams or six pointed stars today are rarely used by Arab artists or designers if at all. The hexagram once a staple of geometric and architectural design is now socially forbidden due to its association with Zionism and Israel.
This video separates the facts from the fiction when it comes to the Zionist narrative.

Decades ago an interview between an Australian and a Palestinian was conducted in Beirut, Lebanon. It was 1970. What was quoted in the interview is still applicable today. Nothing has changed. The inequity of the struggle. The oppression of the Zionists. And the suffering of the Palestinian people.

How can one nation in today’s civilised world still be above the law? How can it ignore the calls of every global institution that represents humanity to cease and desist from the injustices it keeps on carrying out? For three quarters of a century, Israel has turned a blind eye and deaf ear to every instant when international law called it out for its violent, unjust and inhumane conduct.
