I could listen to Ghadi all day.
Please remember, it’s not just young people protesting. I’m a middle aged Gen X from Australia who has always been involved in the fight for a free Palestine ❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸❤️🇵🇸
Well said. We all stand up for Truth and Humanity. The Zionists are the biggest threat to World Peace. Time for Change.
Your a god fearing human being thank you
WOW. Ghadi Francis is electric: fierce, intelligent, uncompromising. An absolutely necessary voice right now. Thank you, Rania.
1. Lebanon is NOT an Arab country. We are specifically Lebanese, an eastern Mediterranean people. (Not all of us are "brown" either, the majority are actually white and many of us have colored eyes).
2. THE VAST MAJORITY OF US do not want a political alliance with our neighbors, even though we like them. We believe we're better off being separate, and for good reasons.
3. Our nation was NOT colonized by Europeans in the 20th century. It was rather administered by France, with whom we have historic relations for centuries, for a short time.
4. Our borders are NOT NEW. Lebanon is a Phoenician name (LBN), and our ancestry goes back to the Phoenicians. We have been living on this land for MILLENNIA. It is not new.
5. We are proud of being uniquely LEBANESE. And being politically separate. Do not buy the narrative being put forward here that we want to be one nation. The Levant is not one nation, and hasn't been for most of its long history.
6. We want good economic relations with our neighbors. And we want to obviously get out of Israel's grasp and be free of war. But we want to remain as a separate country, and we will.
7. I agree with everything else that Rania and Ghadi said here. But I'm very proud of my Lebanese heritage. And do not believe in Pan-Levantineism. Just like most of us don't. That's the reality.
Well said Ghadi, as a Lebanese woman I concur with you. I am double your age & have been an activist since my youth & it's so uplifting to hear Lebanese journalists speak the truth so eloquently. God bless you ladies & God protect our Lebanon 🇱🇧 ♥️ 🙏
Amen from a Kafir.
You better care for what's going in Lebanon. A poor country because of Hezbollah.
So you support the Arab Muslims that literally attacked the native Lebanese population having been given refuge
@@simko8665 Lebanon would have been in a lot worse situation if Hezbollah did not exist. Hezbollah was created as a result of Israeli aggression in Lebanon. I have a Lebanese friend who told me the Israel bombed their home and killed family members. The crimes of Israel in Lebanon are many. I like to find out more about Sabra and Shatila. Hammas also was created as a result of continuous Israeli aggression in Palestine.
@@simko8665 Keep feeding yourself that and stay ignorant.
Thank you Rania and Ghadi. Independent journalists with journalistic integrity are the heroes of our time.
She's SO SANE, SO WELL-SPOKEN. THANK YOU! ❤❤
Ikr they both are beautiful ladies! Sham ppl(Lebaneses, Syrians, Jordanians,Palestinians) are made different😮 I hope new generations in the West can listen to this and to be friendly with our Arab world.. Im from Mecca praying for peace everywhere🙏🏻

Thank you so much!
free Palestine! ❤
I really love this guest. She is such a real patriot, so well informed.. Please have her on the show again sometime . 👍
Ghadi is not only a beauty, but she's also funny, insightful and a true warrior. Amazing woman ❤😊
Never heard Francis speak before. She’s amazing. I will be listening to her going forward
Watch the previous interview..... she's one who doesn't pull her punches
I always listen to her in arabic when I discovered her in october shes brave
You should listen to her in Arabic. She's spellbindingly eloquent.
When r u going to do a Dawah? Also did you know that Rania is an Atheist?
You make me so proud of being a Lebanese woman after listening to you both, well spoken, strong, and compassionate. God bless you both and continue your important work 🧿🇱🇧🧿
Unfortunately, she doesn't care about the Lebanese identity. She calls herself a Syrian sometimes, because she believes in Greater Syria. I lover everything else she says, but she is d ead wrong about that one.
Rania and Ghadi are kicking ass. I love seeing two Arab women of most highest conscience speaking and debating the most important issues of our time.بلاد الشام للابد
Watching from Jordan.
THERE ARE NO ARAB WOMEN IN THIS VIDEO. We Lebanese are not like you. We don't consider ourselves Arabs--that's just a language for us. Call them LEBANESE. Have some respect for them.

So why she don’t openly support Islamists in Yemen and Iran ?

Ghadi is what happens when you combine beauty and brains. Very eloquent and knowledgeable.
Beauty, brilliance, laughter - from ancient Greece!
@@stevekaylor5606 Exactly! As modern Greek I can easily detect both ancient Greek charm and spirit in her.
@@thrassyvoulospapadopoulos3565 Greek charm, spirit, belief in human potential + the birthplace of Western Civilization!
@@stevekaylor5606 what's the Ancient Greek connection? And Ghadi talks about her Arab heritage, says nothing about Greece. In case you didn't know, Arabs are typically like Ghadi, very upbeat and lively people. Make some Arab friends and you will know find a lot pf them like her.
@@stevekaylor5606 Interesting how Ghadi is talking about the Levant and its rich culture and you are "westernizing" it. I do not think she will appreciate this as she is very proud of her Arab heritage. It's being dismissive of the Levantine people.
Thank you for keeping the faith with the people of Gaza.
In our thousands and our millions WE ARE ALL PALESTINIANS
it's actually billions. We really are all palestinians because we are all not part of the ruling class and the the ruling class supports israel. To them we have no value like palestinians.
Lebanese are not Palestinians. We support them bc we have a common enemy trying to d estroy us. But we are not the same genetically or culturally.
@@aag3752The statement is figuratively, and not literally.
@@KASalaam2U But some people really believe we're the same people.
Agree. The Whole World is now Palestine. Sadly, the Zionists control most of the World Economy from Oil and Gas to Finance and Mainstream media, so it's gonna be a long and tough uphill battle, but Truth shall prevail and be victorius one day.
I am a 77 year old Scot and I am Palestinian. I am ashamed of the British hand in the carving up of your land after WWI and the infamous Balfour Declaration which led to the betrayal of the Palestinian people. Free Free Palestine.
The British created Jordan, was a betrayal of the Palestinian people too.?
@kingfisher-u8qread it again & read it quietly, the meaning is clear.
@kingfisher-u8q I think it's in English, if you know that language work on the text and you will get it. It might take time but I think you might make it.
I think you are exaggerating
That the Prophet (ﷺ) once came to her in a state of fear and said, "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Woe unto the Arabs from a danger that has come near. An opening has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog like this," making a circle with his thumb and index finger. Zainab bint Jahsh said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we be destroyed even though there are pious persons among us?" He said, "Yes, when the evil person will increase."
Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 3346
In-book reference : Book 60, Hadith 21
The Eastern European Jews brought the Israelites to the #Holyland, but they themselves did not return because they had never been there before; they merely settled in the Holyland. They have no genetic link whatsoever with Banu israel.
European settlers killed 56 million indigenous people over about 100 years in South, Central and North America, causing large swaths of farmland to be abandoned and reforested, researchers at University College London, or UCL, estimate.
When European settlers arrived in the Americas, historians estimate there were over 10 million Native Americans living there. By 1900, their estimated population was under 300,000. Native Americans were subjected to many different forms of violence, all with the intention of destroying the community. In the late 1800s, blankets from smallpox patients were distributed to Native Americans in order to spread disease. There were several wars, and violence was encouraged; for example, European settlers were paid for each Penobscot person they killed. In the 19th century, 4,000 Cherokee people died on the Trail of Tears, a forced march from the southern U.S. to Oklahoma. In the 20th century, civil rights violations were common, and discrimination continues to this day.
The genocide in Palestine is being funded by Jewish Zionists, and it's possible that they also contributed to the Holocaust. I am interested in discovering the extent of their influence on 9/11. #Mossad #CIA
Zionists orchestrated conflicts to anticipate the arrival of Dajjal, commonly referred to as the antichrist, at the third temple in the HolyLand.
There is no such thing as pro-Israel or pro-Palestine. The Lord talks about the HolyLand in the Quran. I assume everyone is welcome to the HolyLand with righteous conduct.
Ghadi Francis is a lady and her religion is humanity 🌹🙏
she has exactly the same reasoning as I have. incredible. I am in awe here
I second that.

@@aag3752 Yes, im tunisian berber, so i know the whole sidonian ordeal. They throw the arab identity on anyone these days, when infact just very few are arabs. The tunisian youth is culturally stricken by lack of true identity, they try to play arabians, but fail. They read hadiths over hadiths to find themselves, but get lost in even more confusion. Arabs take away peoples identity, as if you cant be a muslim without being arab, thats unfair. Arabs dont even understand tunisian clearly.
Ghadi nailed it right away: "There are people who just don't care." This is what I still cannot understand...how can you see and know about the massacres and dispossession and yet not care?
Because it had been propagated as an Islamic issue not a human issue as Christian Palestinians are fighting and dying too by the Zionist and their media
Their hearts are filled with hatred. Sadly.
@@Republica33 Most people have been massively propagandized and indoctrinated, so we need to understand how powerful that is before condemning everyone so easily. I've been talking about Palestine and the occupation to my friends (and customers) for a long time, and since October 7th several have opened their minds (and hearts) to have a broader understanding. I've even found unlikely allies in my discussions who have largely been silent just because talking politics isn't "proper". I think that most people are disgusted with what is happening, but feel helpless to do anything about it.
It reminds American citizens of their powerlessness…
@@Jimmydog777 Don't get me started on Americans. That said, the student occupations (and the overhanded govt crackdowns) have shown that people aren't entirely powerless, and that propaganda can be defeated by truth and information.
Free Palestine! Palestine and social media have opened many Americans eyes. We have been fed lies by our government for decades. Now we fight for change.
Freedom, healing, peace and restorative justice for Palestinian people!
Agree, we have been fed fake news, lies and propaganda for generations. Time for Change.
What an excellent host. I admire her way of thinking and her analysis. She's right,most people are immune to seeing the trauma of Palestine people because they are not humans. I cry every morning while having my blessed breakfast because I imagine all those Palestinians not having anything to we are having all our comforts. I wish there were more people like you guys in the world
I admire Lebanese people for their intelligence, kindness, humanity, and above all, being well informed about what's happening around the world.
@@susan40177 you are such a sensitive person, it’s moving my heart .
Just a question, do you know what has been happening in Yemen for the last 8 years?
Another one, have you heard about the crisis (civil war)in Sudan and the price children pay for it?
Just a question, have you ever shred tears for the children of Somalia or the 70,000 kids who had been killed during the civil war in Syria between 2011 - 2023?
Why do I have the feeling that your sorrow and sadness is not universal and that it even has become for some reason a very special particular emotion?
You are sickening me, shame on you and your family for not caring about children in other countries.
@@Wehcdhwtf?!? Knowing how she is sensitive enough to cry every morning over what's happening in Gaza, of course she would also be sensitive to the other suffering people in the world. This whataboutism is misplaced. People of conscience care about all of these people and places, but Gaza/Palestine is the issue that the western powers are trying to gaslight us about, which they are funding and supporting. It's the most hypocritical and frustrating of the world's issues. That does not negate the compassion we feel for Sudan, Congo, Haiti, Yemen, etc. If you are a caring person, you will naturally care about all. But the discussion here is about Palestine and Lebanon. We are allowed to stay on topic, in fact we must, or we will be defeated by the evil powers of imperialism.
Thank you for feeling the humanity of the Palestinians.
@@Hopethunder we a are sick of them!
Let’s talk about other countries and nations who are suffering and bleeding!

As an english man, I am appalled not only by what the IDF are doing but also how much the UK government is involved and how they allow our military to support what is going on. Sometimes I can`t read or look at what is going on because its so upsetting and feel powerless. Its just so heartbreaking.
🥱
Another hypocrite and ignorant, who on October 7 was in a coma. And he was awakened by the "innocent Palestinians" crying and begging for a ceasefire...
@@HamzaGrygorino-one cares what an IDF troll has to say
how many of those 'leaders', have even served one day on a frontline? 'so stupid'..
With you there...my friend...
Listening to this young woman, Ghadi Francis, speak enlightened me as to why Israel targets women, and why the brothers are willing to walk up and hand deliver devices to destroy tanks to defend them. The army that dresses up in women's unmentionables are afraid of women like this.
Read up on the history of Zaynab, the sister of Imam Hussein. She is the daughter of Imam Ali (the prophet Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law) and of Fatima (the daughter of the prophet Muhammad). Look at the speech she gave to the tyrant ruler Yazeed in Damascus back then after the battle of Karbala, where all her brothers, sons, nephews, cousins were massacred in front of her eyes under his command. Handcuffed and abused, her speech shook Yazeed's courtyard to the point that people started getting riled up and almost took her side over his, therefore he ordered his guards to shut her up immediately and to take her away. Talk about strong women...
Yes. You are correct.
@@MidnightClubin
So are you suggesting these two ladies should go to Gazza / Tel Aviv and deliver a similar powerful speech there?
@deepsareen1 I don't know how that's what you got from my comment. To answer you, then no. We haven't been massacred like Hussain and his family, and these 2 wonderful women aren't prisoners of war. They can deliver their speeches there when Palestine is liberated...
@@MidnightClubin
Please tell us who massacred Hussain?
And did Ayesha, one of Umm-Al-Moumineen, not wage a war against Hussain too?
This woman is fantastic. She makes me want to visit Lebanon. A dream I’ve always had. I hope I get there someday. As a white Australian I grew up with many Lebanese families and they have always treated me like one of their own. Fantastic people 😊
You should visit Lebanon is the most beautiful country in the Middle East . I am from Sydney I am Lebanese Christian
Lebanon can boast of having many unapologetically outspoken Lebanese women from the country and dual nationalities. Rania Khalek, Rania Masri, Julia Kassem, Dr. Marwa Osman, Ghadi Francis, incroyable!
Aussie Leb here, you should definitely visit !
Arabs are like that. Lebanon is just a little colonial carving up of Arab lands.
Please don't mix pink with white. The descendant from Europe are pink. The white are from Caucase mountains and it's region.
Israel and US will always be infamous for this and Irag and Syria.The list is so shameful😢

I could listern to Ghadi Francis all day ❤❤
Let’s value these women for their intellect and humanity. We are always falling into the trap of needing to qualify women for their aesthetic value. Are we doing this when a male is objectively attractive….”he’s intelligent AND gorgeous”. We just don’t. Women deserve better.
Well said, and so true.
You seem to be taking Islamic injunctions against status and capabilities of women rather lightly!
@@deepsareen1 This seems to be a reference to the reflexivity of the comments that pay tribute to the physical appearance of obviously attractive women. It would be nice if it were simply understood without the need to mention it, but this is the way of the world, good looks are a valuable commodity.
@@aliciaczechowski3281
Not just that; there is hypocrisy involved in most Muslims defending, on one hand, their texts downgrading the status of women while also praising their intellect and ability (on the other hand) as in this case.

Irish/Brit watching in awe from Italy - so glad I just found you 🤗
We're Lebanese. Not Arab. Not Pan-Levantine. I challenge this narrative. They're right about Israel. Wrong about Lebanese people--most of us are very proud of our own *separate* nation. Add that to your notes, please.
The two ladies on this show are outstanding
My best regards to both of you
I'm a Lebanese-Syrian woman, raised in the US. I'm also a long time subscriber to BTN. I want to say, the promise of more of this FANTASTIC conversation finally prompted me to become a paid subscriber. Both of you are incredible. Pan-arab unity, forever.
This interview and discussion really got to me. Lot's of learning here; compassion,, facts, conscience,. Every word here is real.
Ghadi, you're very wise, & the world shall be surprised when our bros. and sisters triumph, and beg us to share the story of freedom and justice!
Beautiful both of you, very informative, thank you
Rania of all the many excellent interviews you've conducted Ghadi Francis is one of the most intellectual I've seen. She is an exemplar of Arab humanity, learning, history and culture. What a rejoinder to the non history anti-politics barbarians of state Zionism.

Thanks so much. This was really an excellent episode. Enjoyed immensely. Free Palestine from Australia
Thank you Rhania and Ghadi, for an incredibly
informative and highly enlightening discussion,
about a broad range of the problems
unfolding across the Middle East today. I think
all Westerners ( I am American), and Israeli
Zionists and Jews, should become acquainted
with the realities on the ground in your region,
from the 1800’s to the present day. Having had
several courses at University level many years
ago, I am fully familiar with the meddling and
machinations of the Europeans and eventually
Americans, in creating the artificial borders
in your region, that resulted in so much chaos,
and needless death and destruction over the
past 200+ years. The British and their
Imperial aspirations, probably are largely
responsible for the problems that have
unfolded in the Middle East, even before
World War I . From the 1920’s onward,
the insatiable need for England to have
supreme control over the oil riches of
your region, led to so much instability
in the region. After World War II, the
Americans became the ones who
wished to control the Mid-East oil
holdings, to strengthen U.S. hegemony
in the region. My country also helped
create much instability in the region,
and after 1948, by unconditionally
supporting the Zionist Project of the
Jewish State. The current conditions
certainly did not develop without
much Western meddling and
intervention in the region!
It was quite helpful to hear things from the
perspectives of those who live or have ties
in the region, without the typical Western or
Israeli extreme biases and propaganda! We
only get these viewpoints from other
courageous independent investigative
journalists like yourselves, never from our
governments or mainstream media outlets.
I think many young people around the world
are awakening to the realities of this
horrific genocide of the Zionists, and as
their ranks swell, Western governments
will finally be held to account for the
atrocities they are complicit in facilitating ,
by supporting the murderous psychopaths
in the current Israeli government. I am
ashamed of my government’s
participation in this, and as an American
of the Jewish faith, equally outraged by the
conduct of Israel and its military over the
past 76 years! This nightmare and
unimaginable suffering and hardships being
inflicted upon the civilians of Palestine and
Lebanon, must cease immediately! There is
absolutely no justification for any of this
horrific behavior being metered out against
civilians!!! I cannot comprehend, how the
West stands by as this barbaric behavior
by Israel continues, with no end in sight.!
My prayers go out to all those who continue to
suffer, and for all the martyred souls that have
already perished! To use the atrocities committed
during the Holocaust, to defend what Israel has
done for decades, is an insult to all those who
list loved ones in. World War II, and equally as
offensive to those who have lost loved ones
since the early 1900’s in Palestine.
Thank you both for having the courage to
speak your minds, share your views and
keen insights, and expose the truth about
this genocide, for a change. You are both
doing an excellent job keeping us all
better informed about this critically
important information! Please keep up
the good work!!!
You two are amazing "people"!
I always live your show, TODAY, your guest, Ghadi, was on FIRE, her language was excellent, AND her body language was ABSOLUTELY FLUENT.
Always love these discussions ❤
Thank you Rania, great interview, enlightening as usual.
Wonderful---truly compassionate and highly intelligent guest---thank you!
Beautifull human beings, being courageous a true intellectual host and hostess
Two awesome women.
Ghadi is a fascinating voice and an eloquent speaker but her argumentation was all over the place. It took me a few replays to work out where she seems to stand on things.
Did anyone else feel the same way?
No, it all flowed for me
🤡💩🤫 I
No, I found her extremely articulate!
true there are few out of margin argument, but i've watched her in arabic she is much fluency and coherence, but talking a second language and speeking to a different audience has its tall on a young enthusiastic journalist.
@@waeltfaily9865 I don't mind if someone has an accent or makes idiomatic or vernacular mistakes - especially in a second language. She is eloquent despite that and no doubt a treat to hear in Arabic.
My concerns and confusion is around the substance of her positions and their political coherence. Part of my work revolves around modelling politics and I can usually rapidly map people's positions into political models and theory. In her case it was far from clear what she represents. I can try to illustrate this.
She is clearly not a Muslim and states so in more than one way. This of course puts her at odds with almost everyone in the ME which is fine but it means she cannot appeal to any theological support for her positions. She is not an Arab from Israel / Palestine but claims to speak for them as a sister which given the above makes her a form of pan ethno chauvinist or nationalist. But she then rejects the rest of the people by fondly imaging a greater Leventine or greater Syria nationalist, not unlike how extreme Zionists imagine a greater Israel. But in the case of the Zionists this is a theological stance and in the case of most conservative Muslims a modern form of a Caliphate. In her case that makes no sense as she is not a Muslim.
Her rhetoric and talking points are at first glance straight out of the Said Qutb canon, which would make her an Arab national socialist but she does not include the Arab people in this picture either and her rejection of Islam puts her at odds with any such thinking - i.e. most modern Muslim Brotherhood schools of political theory.
At the end I listened to it three times and at best all I could do is put her in the Lebanese or Leventine National Socialist camp but I suspect most adherents of that thinking would reject her out of hand.
But thanks for the response.
I have nothing against Jewishness, just Israel.
Judaism s NOT Zionism

TRUTH BEING TOLD....B1😮😮😮
Thank you Ghadi ❤️
I truly like these two beautiful ladies. They always bring us solid news.
She's gorgeous
Both !
@@greendragonspirit1646 Levant ladies are pretty, especially the Lebanese.
@TalkativeApe-gl1ex that's what attracted the jihadists there.
@@TalkativeApe-gl1exWhat are their Instagram accounts?
Yes, she is beautiful, but commentary regarding looks is contained only for women, but you never hear it if such and such journalist or commentator is a man.
We have been ONE ARAB Nation for 20 thousand years and we will remain ONE ARAB Nation till the Day of Judgement. No one can divide the Arabs.
The Israeli education minister needs to be educated. All that bravado yet he will be at the back or in Poland.
Inspiring!
