  • Why would Frank Gardner want to return to the region where he so nearly lost his life? In this talk, Frank describes why the Middle East is so interesting and vibrant, and why he had to go back.
    Now BBC Security Correspondent, Frank talks about his connection to the Middle East, why he loves this misunderstood and much-maligned region, and why young people should take up languages and travel the world.
    A fluent Arabic speaker, Frank Gardner chose Arabic & Islamic Studies and went on to live with the Bedouin in Jordan. His fascination with the region continues today.
    In 2004 Frank and his cameraman Simon were ambushed by terrorists while filming in Saudi Arabia. Simon was killed and Frank survived with extensive injuries. Returning to work, he was awarded the OBE by HM The Queen in 2005 for services to journalism, awarded Honorary Doctorates of Laws by six British universities and voted Journalist of the Year in the European Diversity Awards.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    Same apply for the rest of the world. There are some unpleasant people from every country in the world but generally most people in most countries are good.

    An excellent source of info on the Middle East [including Israel] is Dr. Mordechai Kedar, a Lecturer in Arabic at Bar-Ilan University who also spent 25 years in Israeli Intelligence.
    He doesn't pull punches......check him out on TH-cam being interviewed in Arabic on Al-Jazeera some years ago but he knows his stuff.
    He also has a novel plan to suggest instead of the impossible to implement 2 State solution idea.

    Even though it makes no sense to blame the arabs as a whole, it takes stoicism and good temperament to not let his experience color his view of the arabs and Muslims. He still loves the culture to which he devoted his whole life.

    I would nt have put Morocco in the Middle East ..

    • @kingfisher7360
      @kingfisher7360 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    12:40 well not because of that but to be honest saudi government really work for its own citizens : fast devoloping countery, allowing women to drive, almost free education and healthcare system, good jobs and high income... etc
    why would they go out if their kingdom is working well?!

    Apologist even after being shot. Height of delusion.

    • @maysa4083
      @maysa4083 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      How does acknowledging that there are good and bad people everywhere make him an apologist. Also did you skip the part he said that the terrorists had attacked a place in Riadh and killed many people. Those people who were killed were Arab, Saudi, Middle Eastern and most probably Muslim so how on earth does it make sense to blame the 'arab world' as a whole.

      If you have 200 friends and a mugger attacks you one day, do you suddenly hate all your friends?
