Many would consider the term ‘death factory' to be associated with another era, one that is long in the past. But reports have emerged from inside Sednaya prison, bringing to light the horrific death camp and torture complex that was operated by the Assad regime until the regime's collapse, just one week ago. It has been reported that 96,000 people have disappeared into Syria's vast network of secret prisons, including thousands of women and children. The overwhelming majority were tortured to death.  The Center for Peace Communications (CPC), an NGO that works through media, schools and spiritual centers to resolve identity-based conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa, gained unprecedented access to Sednaya. They have captured exclusive footage from inside its underground dungeons, and recorded testimonies of those lucky enough to survive what many have called a human slaughterhouse. This footage was released by and in partnership with The Free Press.  To discuss what we know about Sednaya prison and Syria's path moving forward, our guests are Joseph Braude and Ahed Al Hendi.  Joseph Braude is the founder and president of the Center for Peace Communications. He is the author of four books on North Africa and the Middle East, and is a frequent contributor to English and Arabic newspapers and magazines. He has served as a consulting advisor to non-profit organizations, the U.S. government, and the private sector in the realms of Arab civil society engagement, strategic communications, and counterterrorism. Ahed Al Hendi is a Syrian affairs analyst. He is a former political prisoner in Syria, and was arrested for establishing a secular anti-regime student organization.  Exclusive footage and survivor testimony from inside the Sednaya prison, courtesy of the CPC and The Free Press: https://www.thefp.com/p/watch-assads-human-slaughterhouse-sednaya-prison

In the last year, we've witnessed a disturbing trend among some on the fringe left, who cheer those they think are resisting Western imperialism. Even when those anti-imperialists are. . . designated terrorist groups. This misguided support was on full display on the anniversary of October 7, when protesters marched through London chanting, “I love Hezbollah”, and in New York, where they flew flags for the Iran-backed militia group flags and carried “New York for Hezbollah” signs.  It was a remarkable sight, but unsurprising when you consider the distorted lens through which these extremists look at the war in the Middle East. To them, Hezbollah, the group responsible for killing 241 Americans in a 1983 terror attack and for murdering 85 innocents in Argentina in 1994, is simply a resistance group defending Lebanon from Israeli aggression.  But is that how the Lebanese see Hezbollah? An armed Shia group as the defender of Lebanon, a country of many different religious and cultural communities? Defender of Beirut, a city that one Lebanese journalist recently called “a tolerant and diverse cosmopolitan center”?  On today's show, Michael Moynihan sits down with three people with intimate knowledge of what Hezbollah really is: a totalitarian force in Lebanon, an occupying force in Syria, the perpetrators of narco-terrorism and sex slavery, and the foot soldiers of Iran's imperial project in the Middle East.  Joseph Braude is an expert on Arab culture and politics, and the founder of The Center for Peace Communications, which partnered with The Free Press to produce the animated series Hezbollah's Hostages. Hezbollah's Hostages, which you can watch on The Free Press's YouTube channel, interviews the victims of the terrorist group in Lebanon and Syria, who have spoken out at great personal risk. Episodes have covered the story of a Lebanese fighter's indoctrination from childhood, the account of a Syrian woman abducted and forced into sex slavery, and the enlightening narrative of a Syrian who became a drug smuggler for the organization. Please check the series out, if you haven't already.  Makram Rabah is a history lecturer at the American University of Beirut and, through his frequent appearances on pan-Arab television, a fierce and courageous critic of Hezbollah. Makram lives in Lebanon, where his life is routinely threatened. Finally, Hanin Ghaddar is a Lebanese journalist and author of the book Hezbollahland: Mapping Dahiya and Lebanon's Shia Community. She is a leading expert on the group's history and its role within Lebanese society. We discuss the history of Hezbollah, its function as an Iranian proxy, its unpopularity in Lebanon and in the broader region, the group's criminal activities, like drug and sex trafficking, and the path forward for Lebanon now that Israel has significantly weakened Hezbollah's military capabilities.  And if you liked what you heard from Honestly, the best way to support us is to go to TheFP.com and become a Free Press subscriber today.

What does the “day after” look like in Gaza? A series of meetings recently took place between Gazans and law-makers in the West, sharing their vision for a Hamas/UNRWA free rule in Gaza. Joseph Braude, President and Founder of the Center for Peace Communications shares this work and vision. With Shahar Azani.

Joseph Braudy is the founder and president of the Center for Peace Communications and a renowned author, broadcaster and Middle East expert. Apart from Hamas propaganda, it is difficult to talk to people in Gaza about their situation - but we did. We listen to personal stories from Gazans who are oppressed by Hamas terrorists and provide insights how the people in Gaza are suffering under Hamas rule. This gives different perspective of the Hamas-Israeli war, that should be known in the international debate.

Bob Seidenschwarz invited Joseph Braude to discuss the Middle East. Bruade is an author, broadcaster, and Middle East specialist.

 A woman is weeping over a covered body on a street in Gaza. She's surrounded by people. She turns to the camera and screams: “All this is because of the dogs of Hamas.”  And then two men grab her and literally silence her. They hold a hand over her mouth.  What if we could hear real stories from people living in Gaza about how Hamas treats them?  The Center for Peace Communications is helping to do just that with the video testimony they've published in their “Whispered in Gaza” and “Voices in Gaza” projects. In this episode, Joseph Braude (president of the Center for Peace Communications) joins Ron Steslow to discuss how Gazans talk about Hamas, the way they are treated and who they blame for the war.

(10:38)  The discussion turns to how well these stories represent the views of Gazans and the broader implications for Palestinian society. (12:12)  Ron and Joseph discuss the challenges and biases in media coverage of the Gaza situation. (25:00)  How the global perception of Hamas has been disconnected with the realities in Gaza.  (30:00)  Exploring how Gazans view the October 7th Attack, Israel's response, and how they blame Hamas for the humanitarian crises. (32:16)  Challenges to delivering aid to those who need it most in Gaza. (35:12) Discussion on the possibilities of change in the governance of Gaza. (36:33) Joseph offers clarity on common misunderstandings about the Israel-Palestine conflict.

As the war in Israel expands ... many are concerned about the plight of Palestinians in Gaza. Palestinians there are unfortunately unable to speak out and have their voices heard due to Hamas' control over the region. But one organization is providing a unique platform for these silenced voices. Joseph Braude from The Center for Peace Communications joins to discuss their project, "Whispered in Gaza."

Palestinians in Gaza are forbidden to express ideas or expose realities that displease Hamas, its Islamist rulers. Whispered in Gaza, a Center for Peace Communications initiative, breaches this blockade by featuring frank testimony from dozens of Gazans. What picture do they paint? How has this series, already viewed more than five million times, had an impact?

What is life like for people under Hamas' terror rule? Joseph Braude, founder and president of the Center for Peace Communications, shares the back story behind this series of animated videos telling the story of ordinary people in Gaza. With Shahar Azani.

In this episode of Frankly Speaking we speak to Joseph Braude, President of the US- based Center for Peace Communications about his in-depth new series of what life is really like under Hamas in Gaza. We ask him how he's been able to acquire these often-harrowing insider accounts, and what's to come for others under Iran-sponsored military.

Hundreds of foreign broadcasters crowd Arab radio waves today -- some backed by nations like the US and Russia, others by transnational movements from the Muslim Brotherhood to the Catholic Church. One network, operating on a modest budget, stands out for punching way above its weight: the Korean Broadcasting System's Arabic service. In this short documentary, Joseph Braude tells the story of the Korean network, the people who run it, and the broadcast's implications for Middle East policy, with exclusive interviews from Seoul and Washington.

Moroccan King Mohammed VI visits the White House. A BBC interview with Joseph Braude, and the story of the only Jewish broadcast on Arab airwaves.

The saga of Islamic civilization is in many ways a universal story of good versus evil, the cycle of life, and the foibles of human nature. It isn’t too big a stretch to connect that saga to some of the great stories and classic movies Americans know and love. That’s the premise of this two-episode documentary, co-produced with Public Radio International’s Afropop Worldwide. With the help of Don Vito Corleone, R2D2, and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, it tells the story of two slave rebellions that transformed the history of the Middle East and North Africa and crystallized the Sunni-Shi’ite divide in Islam. Along the way, there's a soundtrack of enchanting medieval Arabic music. Co-narrating the documentary with Joseph Braude is Georges Collinet, the legendary broadcaster from Cameroon whose voice is ubiquitous on the airwaves of Africa. Enjoy!

In the first segment of this episode, Joseph Braude reports on Yemen's looming water emergency. Then, a review of Naomi Sakr's new book, "Transformations in Egyptian Journalism."

As part of its outreach to the West, the Al-Mesbar Center co-sponsored the publication of an e-book with the Philadelphia-based Foreign Policy Research Institute. A one-day conference to introduce the book was held in Washington in March 2013 -- the first-ever Al-Mesbar event in the United States. Joseph Braude introduced the Center to the audience.

Joseph Braude talks to Kenneth Pollack, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution's Saban Center for Middle East Policy, about US-Iran crisis scenarios -- and tunes into actual war simulations produced by the American and Iranian armed forces.

Holocaust denial is common throughout the Arab world -- but as Joseph Braude reports, a 26-year-old Moroccan Muslim has been fighting to raise awareness of the historical facts. Along the way, he is also teaching Jews that numerous North African Muslims, notably the late Moroccan king Muhammad V, saved thousands of Jews from the Nazis.

In this short documentary, Joseph Braude recounts the history of Islamist movements, from their beginnings in the early 20th century to the present.
