Join our Patreon to get access to exclusive monthly Zoom calls: https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslimThis past week, the world has reflected on the death of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. As Nixon's national security advisor, he was notorious for his ultra-realist approach to international politics, which saw the policy of triangulation with China and the Soviet Union that was pivotal in bringing China into the Western sphere and ultimately helping the emerging economy become a global power. But also the carpet bombing of Laos and Cambodia, in a failed attempt to solicit concessions from the North Vietnamese. Such unscrupulous foreign policy is again on display over Gaza. The silence with which the Western powers have embraced the slaughter and the tacit, if not open, approval of Israel's behaviour evokes a long-standing memory in the global south about a racist colonial logic. Today, we would like to explore this with our very own elder statesman', Dr Mahathir Mohamed. Dr Mahathir Mohamad has been Malaysia's longest-serving prime minister for some 22 years. He has stewarded Malaysia through a difficult period; today it is a thriving economy. He came back to power briefly after winning a resounding victory in 2018. Dr Mahathir has seen first-hand in his 98 years the rise of America and the establishment of Israel, but also the sorry state of much of our ummah - and today, we would like to tap into his extensive knowledge and wisdom.You can also support The Thinking Muslim through a one-time donation: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/DonateSign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comPurchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merch Find us on:Twitter: https://twitter.com/thinking_muslimFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslim Host: https://twitter.com/jalalaynWebsite Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com Hosted on Acast.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $965m in damages after falsely claiming the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax. We hear from Jennifer Hubbard whose daughter Catherine died in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Malaysia's 97-year-old former leader Mahathir Mohamad has announced he will defend his seat in the general elections expected next month. So, is experience a quality we value in leadership? Is it time to talk about Covid again? As the Northern Hemisphere heads towards winter some experts are concerned that Covid could disrupt economies again.

Mahathir Mohamad is the former Malaysian PM who is set to run for office again... aged 97. Throw people like US President Joe Biden into the mix, and some people are questioning if there should be an age limit on those working in local and central government. Let's see what Tova and Duncan think of it all!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $965m in damages after falsely claiming the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax. Elizabeth Washington, who has been following this case for the New York Times, explains. Malaysia's 97-year-old former leader Mahathir Mohamad has announced he will defend his seat in the general elections expected next month... So, is this a sign that we value age in our leaders? Professor of leadership at the University of Bristol, Wil Harvey, gives his analysis. Florida is still counting the cost of Hurricane Ian. Some estimates say it could cost the state more than $40bn. Ken Johnson is a Real Estate Economist at Florida Atlantic State University and a Former Broker. He tells us about the impact this has on insurance and the housing sector.

Malaysia's richest state, Selangor, confirmed that it will not dissolve its state assembly and hold polls this year, a move that points to prolonged political intrigue lasting at least till the middle of next year. Will the other states follow suit? Plus why is Dr. Mahathir Mohamad still contesting at the age of 97? And are the young cohort of first-time voters going to game changers for Malaysia's 15th General Election?  Prime Time's Bharati Jagdish finds out more from Shannon Teoh, Malaysia Bureau Chief at the Straits Times, in this comprehensive conversation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mahathir Mohamad served as prime minister of Malaysia between 1981 and 2003, and again between 2018 and 2020. Today's episode in part examines the implications of being governed by the very old; Mahathir was 93 when he returned to power in 2018. Ethnic tensions are intrinsic to Malaysian history and politics. A mix between Malays, Chinese and Indians, the majority Malay population, reeling after years of partly real and partly perceived suppression by the other groups, rallied around Mahathir, who promised to construct a country run by and for Malays. This had mixed results, but few can dispute Mahathir didn't give it a good go; he served as prime minister for twenty-two years, staying in power by locking in the Malay vote for five elections in a row. My guest today is James Chin, professor of Asian Studies at the University of Tasmania. James has written extensively on Malaysian politics, and his outlook for Malaysia's future is mixed; whilst he is encouraged by the increasing pluralism at the top of Malaysian politics since 2018, he is also concerned by the pervasive influence of Islamism. We discuss these issues, as well as the implications of having a country so defined by ethnic division.

Kelumun Racun Negara Serumpun Oleh. Deena Noor (Tim Kontributor Tetap NarasiPost.Com) Voice over talent: Dewi Nasjag NarasiPost.Com-Hubungan Indonesia dan Malaysia seperti dua saudara dekat yang kerap kali memanas. Saling mengeklaim wilayah, benda, atau warisan budaya tertentu menjadi bumbu pedas di antara keduanya. Memang sudah sejak lama dua negara serumpun Melayu ini mengalami pasang surut. Terkadang hangat bersahabat, terkadang dingin, dan di lain waktu bisa panas bergejolak. Seperti baru-baru ini ketika media Singapura, Strait Times, mewartakan tentang pernyataan mantan Perdana Menteri Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad yang cukup membuat heboh. Diberitakan Mahathir menyatakan bahwa Kepulauan Riau RI dan Singapura pernah menjadi bagian dari wilayah Malaysia sehingga harusnya diklaim kembali. Hal ini disampaikan Mahathir dalam sebuah pidato di Selangor, Malaysia pada Minggu (19/6/2022). Ia juga mengatakan bahwa dahulu Tanah Melayu sangat luas membentang dari Tanah Genting Kra di Thailand selatan hingga ke Kepulauan Riau dan Singapura. Karena itulah, Malaysia harusnya tak cuma menuntut kembali Pedra Branca atau Pulau Batu Puteh saja, tetapi juga Singapura dan Kepulauan Riau. (cnbcindonesia.com, 23/6/2022) Benarkah demikian? Kenapa perseteruan di antara negara serumpun sering terjadi? Bagaimana seharusnya hubungan yang terjalin menurut Islam?

In our Regional Roundup, Leslie Lopez, Regional Correspondent, Straits Times discuss the expansion of the EU sanctions on Myanmar's military junta to include several key officials and four entities tied to the regime, Former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad's scathing attack on Najib Razak in a letter to Johor voters, Indonesia's plan to reduce their reliance on foreign vaccines, and more.

"In the fight against bigotry, we stand together, and we must. In the fight against injustice, we stand together, and we must. In the fight against intimidation, we stand together, and we must. After all, a government that launches wars to steal another person's birthright will do anything to all of us." Cynthia McKinney has made a career of speaking her mind and challenging authority. She began on day one of her political life and hasn't looked back. With her opinions, actions, and even her sense of style, McKinney has inspired both admiration and controversy. During her second term, her district was re-drawn and re-numbered the 4th district. McKinney protested the new boundaries, but was still reelected to the seat. She was a supporter of a Palestinian State in Israel-occupied territory, and sparked controversy by criticizing American policy in the Middle East. After 9/11, McKinney suggested the President had received warnings. The criticism she received as a result, combined with being targeted by the pro-Israel lobby, contributed to her defeat in the 2002 election; however, she ran for the seat again and was re-elected in 2004. McKinney was a vocal critic of the government's response to Hurricane Katrina. When Nancy Pelosi encouraged a boycott of a Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate Hurricane Katrina, Cynthia chose instead to participate and submitted her own report to the Congressional Record. She continued her criticism of the Bush administration's handling of the matter and its failure to secure a way back home for Katrina survivors. Cynthia pressed for government transparency and accountability and introduced legislation to release the documents related to the murders of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Tupac Shakur. She was the first Member of Congress to file articles of impeachment against George Bush and she voted against every war funding bill put before her. Cynthia was forced out of Congress once more in 2007 when she was targeted for defeat, again, by donations from pro-Israel contributors that flooded into her opponent's campaign coffers. Cynthia McKinney has never been afraid to speak her mind, and stand up for what she believes in. Late in 2007, she left the Democratic Party to take her energy and ideas to the whole country by becoming a Green Party Presidential Candidate. Cynthia won the Green Party nomination for U.S. President and in 2008 ran for President. In December 2008, Cynthia made international headlines when the Free Gaza boat she was aboard was rammed by the Israeli military as she was attempting to deliver medical supplies to the people of Gaza during Israel's Operation Cast Lead. Cynthia and her fellow humanitarian activists, rescued by Lebanon, never made it to Gaza. In 2009, Cynthia attempted to reach Gaza again, this time armed with crayons, coloring books, and school supplies for the children. She and her fellow human rights workers became the Free Gaza 21 after their boat was overtaken in international waters by the Israeli military and they were kidnapped to Israel. Cynthia spent seven days in an Israeli prison. And again, Cynthia did not make it into Gaza. Finally, Cynthia entered Gaza by land in July 2009 with George Galloway's 250-volunteer-strong Viva Palestina, USA. And as a rider and a member of the support team, Cynthia recently completed a cross-country bicycle ride with five other Bike4Peace 2010 cyclists who started in California and ended in Washington, D.C., speaking to the American people about the possibility of more peaceful U.S. policies if enough of us are willing to participate in our own positive, personal transformations. Cynthia had not been on a bicycle in twenty years and faced many personal obstacles along the way. However, she met this challenge with her usual good humor and determination and by the last day of the ride was able to complete over 60 miles on her bicycle. In August 2011, Cynthia completed a very successful 21-city peace tour in the United States, educating urban communities in order to promote a more peaceful U.S. foreign policy. In 2009, Cynthia conceived of DIGNITY as an international activist peace organization to assert respect for human rights by taking direct action for peace. It was under this banner that Cynthia took three DIGNITY delegations to Libya, including one delegation of journalists during the U.S./NATO/Israel aggression against the Arab Jamahiriya state. Since 2005, Cynthia became a supporter and follower of Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's efforts to “criminalize war.” She has appeared in Kuala Lumpur several times, declaring that city the Peace Capital of the World. She recently reported on her experience in Libya in the “Arab Uprising” Conference organized by the Perdana Global Peace Foundation and served as an official observer at the historic Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal that, on 22 November

Ikuti Kenyataan Khas berkaitan COVID-19 Oleh Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.

Ikuti Kenyataan Khas berkaitan COVID-19 Oleh Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.

We’ve heard numerous accounts of the infamous Langkah Sheraton that spelled the end of the former Pakatan Harapan government. Some have called it a dark day for Malaysian democracy, while others saw it as inevitable - and a solution to the growing divide between former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and his successor, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. But how do youth leaders from both sides of the political divide look back on that day? What role did they play, especially if they had no legislative say? To answer these questions and more, we speak with Datuk Dr. Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki, UMNO Youth Chief, and YB Howard Lee, Perak Assemblyperson for Pasir Pinji and DAP Youth Chief. Image Source: Datuk Dr. Asyraf Wajdi Dusuki Facebook, howardlee.my

Nearly a year after Langkah Sheraton, former Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad remains a relevant part of our country’s political fabric. For Pakatan Harapan, the neverending question of working with the political giant continues to be a main sticking point in a united opposition.

Another Charlie Hebdo cartoon. Another violent response. Where and when does this end, one wonders? @chedetofficial chose to keep it real and called a spade a spade in this controversial thread. He asserted that a fruitful reconciliation will only begin when countries, organisations, or individuals learn to not impose their value systems on others. Link to original thread: 1.

La modération des réseaux sociaux et des plateformes en ligne est de plus en plus interrogée et critiquée par les citoyens et le pouvoir politique. Le tweet a été retiré, le compte même supprimé, mais le message de l’ancien Premier ministre malaisien a eu le temps de faire le tour du monde sur Twitter. « Les musulmans, y disait-il, ont le droit d’être en colère et de tuer des millions de Français pour les massacres du passé ». À 95 ans, Mahathir Mohamad a été par deux fois Premier ministre de Malaisie, pendant une période de 24 ans, et ce jusqu’en février dernier. Il était donc suivi par 1,3 million de personnes sur le réseau social. Il a fallu l’intervention de Cédric O, le secrétaire d’État français au Numérique, pour que Twitter procède à la suppression de son compte, alors même que son message génocidaire était jusque-là maintenu avec un avertissement. C’est dire toute la difficulté qu’éprouvent les plateformes internet à réguler les messages incendiaires d’appel à la haine. Une chercheuse américaine, Sarah T. Roberts, vient de publier en français Derrière les écrans, un livre dans lequel elle explique que les Facebook, les Twitter ou les Instagram nous vendent la vision d’une modération automatisée à partir de mots-clés et de machine learning. En réalité, dit-elle, « c’est un doux rêve » vendu au public « pour réduire la pression autour de la modération ». 15 000 modérateurs chez Facebook Car pour retirer les messages les plus violents en tenant compte du contexte, de l’humour ou de l’ironie éventuelle, il faut toujours un œil humain. Sur Facebook, on trouve ainsi une armée de 15 000 modérateurs qui doivent supporter de voir le pire dans des conditions éprouvantes. Il leur faut à la fois censurer ce qui franchit les bornes de l’acceptable et laisser passer ce qui peut choquer mais relève de la liberté d’expression et permet de capter du temps de cerveau disponible chez l’internaute. Parfois, on l’a vu pendant la campagne américaine, la modération devient un véritable censeur éditorial. Les patrons de Twitter et Facebook ont ainsi été convoqués par les sénateurs républicains pour avoir bloqué un article du New York Post qui faisait état de prétendus mails d’Hunter Biden, le fils du candidat démocrate, à propos de ses affaires en Ukraine. La visibilité de l’article avait été réduite car les deux plateformes ne croyaient pas à la véracité de ces mails. Ce qui est sûr, c’est que les géants du web ne peuvent plus se dédouaner de leur responsabilité. La Commission européenne, qui prépare pour décembre une loi sur les services numériques, a déjà fait savoir que les plateformes devront coopérer avec les régulateurs, fournir des informations sur leurs algorithmes et dire aux utilisateurs comment marche leur système de recommandation de contenus et leur modération.

Over the weekend, there was a mixed response to Dr Mahathir Mohamad's endorsement of Parti Warisan Sabah president Shafie Apdal as the Pakatan Harapan Plus candidate for PM. Some have welcomed the proposal, saying it will focus much-needed attention on East Malaysia. Critics point out that  Warisan commands only 9 seats in Parliament, and the move is simply to thwart Anwar Ibrahim from becoming PM. Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak to Vilashini Somiah, Gender Studies programme at Universiti Malaya.

Glenn van Zutphen and award-winning author Neil Humphreys speak to Nile Bowie, Correspondent, Asia Times about his exclusive hour+ interview with former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad and how the 95-year-old leader might have one more political comeback after claiming that the multi-racial opposition parties will threaten a return to corrupt and authoritarian misrule. He speaks openly about Anwar Ibrahim, the US-China Trade War, and the outcome he wants for Singapore's GE2020.

The weekend's political drama saw Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia announce that former Prime Minister and founder, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, has lost his party membership alongside four other lawmakers. The purported reason for the sacking was because they chose to sit among the Opposition during the May 18th parliamentary sitting. Tun Mahathir has since come out to challenge the move, and we speak to his legal counsel Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla, about whether he believes the termination has any legal standing.

Straits Times Regional Correspondent, Leslie Lopez gives an analysis on the expulsion of former Prime Minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his son from the Bersatu party, the highlight of underlying tensions coming from Umno with the other party groups which make up the PN coalition government and more.

Malaysia, without considering the damages of the COVID-19, is coming out of a political turmoil. Mahathir Mohamad has been the long-living kingmaker of Malaysian politics and, after his resignation, Mr Muhyiddin Yassin took his place. However, as I have discussed with Emmanuel, I observe Malaysia from outside and it seems to me it is a declining country surrounded by more dynamic and flexible nations. According to Emmanuel, Malaysia has the potential to blossom again, because it has still good economic infrastructure. However, the demographic dividend is not helping the country. Its salaries remain low, due to the large immigration from low-income Muslim countries. The risk for Malaysia is to remain forever in the low-income trap.

Days after the 94-year-old was replaced as Malaysia's prime minister, we revisit a conversation he had in 2018 with Kevin Rudd at Asia Society New York.

TRT World's Robin Adams talks to Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in an exclusive interview.

On Oct 31, Malaysian Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad, announced that it will proceed with a cross-border MRT link project with Singapore, with proposals to amend the project and reduce costs by 36 percent. Joining us to discuss this is political correspondent at ‘The Straits Times’, Adrian Lim.  

One year after the corruption-tainted government of Najib Razak was ousted in a stunning electoral upset, sentiment in Malaysia has turned from elation to frustration. The motley coalition led by Mahathir Mohamad, the 93-year-old former and now new prime minister, has been weighed down by in-fighting. There are growing fears that he is backsliding on promises to roll back draconian laws and reinvigorate the sluggish economy. Is Mahathir really a changed man? Will his government be subsumed by internal battles? And how will he manage growing US–China rivalry and simmering tensions with neighbouring Singapore? Two leading experts on Malaysian politics, Professor James Chin and Dr Vilashini Somiah, and the Director of the Lowy Institute’s Southeast Asia Project, Ben Bland, discussed these pressing questions and more. Professor James Chin is Director of the Asia Institute at the University of Tasmania. He is a leading commentator on Malaysian politics and has published extensively on Malaysia and the surrounding region. He is the author of a recent Lowy Institute paper, New Malaysia: Four Key Challenges in the Near Term. He has written and edited several books on Southeast Asian politics including Malaysia Post-Mahathir: A Decade of Change?. Dr Vilashini Somiah is the Head of Research at Iman, a think-tank in Kuala Lumpur that focuses on community engagement. It is known for its research on preventing violent extremism, socio-religious trends and public perceptions. Vila has a PhD in Southeast Asian Studies from the National University of Singapore. Her academic work focused on irregular cross-border migrants on the island of Borneo and their struggle against state power. This event was part of the ASEAN–Australia Visiting Fellows Program at the Lowy Institute, which is supported by the Australian Government through the Australia–ASEAN Council of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the Malaysian Prime Minister Dr. Mahathir Mohamad calling for a gold backed currency as a unit of account for trade between East Asian nations. Dr. M argues that having gold back the currency avoids the issue of manipulation. In the second half, Max interviews Alasdair Macleod of Goldmoney.com for his thoughts on the gold market as the US Federal Reserve chairman calls for the end of the use of the word ‘unconventional’ when referring to QE and other new monetary policy tools. They discuss whether or not interest rates will go to zero in the US as billionaire investor Stan Druckenmiller believes and what happens, in that case, to Europe where over $10 trillion worth of bonds have a negative yield.

Last month, Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad made a call to utilise coal in Sabah to address Malaysia’s energy needs, and Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal followed up by saying that the state will carry out a feasibility study. This plan has caused outrage, especially among the environmental and civil society groups in Sabah, who have previously fought against coal mining and coal-fired power plants in Sabah, fearing irreparable ecological, social, health and climate damage. Joining us to elaborate on why we should all be powering past the use of coal and moving towards renewable energy are Sheelasheena Damian, a Policy Analyst for WWF-Malaysia, Dr. Murallitharan Munisamy, the Medical Director for the National Cancer Society Malaysia and Shaqib Shahril, a member of the Malaysian Youth Delegation (MYD).

HARDtalk’s Zeinab Badawi speaks to the world’s oldest head of government, Malaysia's Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad. He came back to office in May after election victory against his own former ruling coalition. The country has been mired in allegations of corruption swirling around the previous government, which have dented confidence at home and abroad. First time round, he was Prime Minister for more than 20 consecutive years until 2003. Can Mahathir Mohamad leave his own chequered past behind and lead Malaysia to a brighter future?

The defeat of Malaysia’s ruling party on 9 May was unlike any election result the region has ever seen. No party in Southeast Asia has held power for so long, only to lose it at the polls. In its place, a broad coalition led by 92-year-old former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad has formed a new government. Can such a diverse coalition remain united as it addresses fundamental questions of the Malaysian social contract, including racial preferences? Mahathir once jailed Anwar Ibrahim, but has now freed him: how will their relationship develop as they seek to govern together? Will former Prime Minister Najib Razak be held to account for the 1MDB scandal, and how will the United Malays National Organisation react to its first experience in opposition? What will the change in government mean for Malaysia’s relationship with Australia, given Mahathir’s difficult history with earlier Australian prime ministers? The Lowy Institute’s Director of the Southeast Asia Project, Aaron Connelly, hosted a panel discussion with Amrita Malhi, Visiting Fellow in the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs at the Australian National University; James Chin, Director of the Asia Institute Tasmania; and Kean Wong, contributing editor at New Mandala, as they discussed these questions.

The Malaysian elections are shaping up to be more uncertain than ever - we’re seeing former ministers come back out of retirement to speak out against Prime Minister Najib Razak as well as allegations of propagating fake news being levelled at former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad. Dr Francis Hutchinson, Senior Fellow & Coordinator, Regional Economic Studies Programme and Malaysia Studies Programme at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, offers his insight on the latest developments this election.

Guest: Fmr Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney"In the fight against bigotry, we stand together, and we must. In the fight against injustice, we stand together, and we must. In the fight against intimidation, we stand together, and we must. After all, a government that launches wars to steal another person's birthright will do anything to all of us." Cynthia McKinney has made a career of speaking her mind and challenging authority. She began on day one of her political life and hasn't looked back. With her opinions, actions, and even her sense of style, McKinney has inspired both admiration and controversy.During her second term, her district was re-drawn and re-numbered the 4th district. McKinney protested the new boundaries, but was still reelected to the seat. She was a supporter of a Palestinian State in Israel-occupied territory, and sparked controversy by criticizing American policy in the Middle East. After 9/11, McKinney suggested the President had received warnings. The criticism she received as a result, combined with being targeted by the pro-Israel lobby, contributed to her defeat in the 2002 election; however, she ran for the seat again and was re-elected in 2004. McKinney was a vocal critic of the government's response to Hurricane Katrina. When Nancy Pelosi encouraged a boycott of a Select Bipartisan Committee to Investigate Hurricane Katrina, Cynthia chose instead to participate and submitted her own report to the Congressional Record. She continued her criticism of the Bush administration's handling of the matter and its failure to secure a way back home for Katrina survivors. Cynthia pressed for government transparency and accountability and introduced legislation to release the documents related to the murders of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Tupac Shakur. She was the first Member of Congress to file articles of impeachment against George Bush and she voted against every war funding bill put before her. Cynthia was forced out of Congress once more in 2007 when she was targeted for defeat, again, by donations from pro-Israel contributors that flooded into her opponent's campaign coffers. Cynthia McKinney has never been afraid to speak her mind, and stand up for what she believes in. Late in 2007, she left the Democratic Party to take her energy and ideas to the whole country by becoming a Green Party Presidential Candidate. Cynthia won the Green Party nomination for U.S. President and in 2008 ran for President. In December 2008, Cynthia made international headlines when the Free Gaza boat she was aboard was rammed by the Israeli military as she was attempting to deliver medical supplies to the people of Gaza during Israel's Operation Cast Lead. Cynthia and her fellow humanitarian activists, rescued by Lebanon, never made it to Gaza. In 2009, Cynthia attempted to reach Gaza again, this time armed with crayons, coloring books, and school supplies for the children. She and her fellow human rights workers became the Free Gaza 21 after their boat was overtaken in international waters by the Israeli military and they were kidnapped to Israel. Cynthia spent seven days in an Israeli prison. And again, Cynthia did not make it into Gaza. Finally, Cynthia entered Gaza by land in July 2009 with George Galloway's 250-volunteer-strong Viva Palestina, USA. And as a rider and a member of the support team, Cynthia recently completed a cross-country bicycle ride with five other Bike4Peace 2010 cyclists who started in California and ended in Washington, D.C., speaking to the American people about the possibility of more peaceful U.S. policies if enough of us are willing to participate in our own positive, personal transformations. Cynthia had not been on a bicycle in twenty years and faced many personal obstacles along the way. However, she met this challenge with her usual good humor and determination and by the last day of the ride was able to complete over 60 miles on her bicycle. In August 2011, Cynthia completed a very successful 21-city peace tour in the United States, educating urban communities in order to promote a more peaceful U.S. foreign policy. In 2009, Cynthia conceived of DIGNITY as an international activist peace organization to assert respect for human rights by taking direct action for peace. It was under this banner that Cynthia took three DIGNITY delegations to Libya, including one delegation of journalists during the U.S./NATO/Israel aggression against the Arab Jamahiriya state. Since 2005, Cynthia became a supporter and follower of Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad's efforts to “criminalize war.” She has appeared in Kuala Lumpur several times, declaring that city the Peace Capital of the World. She recently reported on her experience in Libya in the “Arab Uprising” Conference organized by the Perdana Global Peace Foundation and served as an official observer at the historic Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal that, on 22 November 2011, found former President George W. Bush and former Prime Minister Tony Blair guilty of the crime of aggression and other crimes against the state and people of Iraq.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement
