How Trauma Impacts Palestinians Over Generations: Hala Alyan Discusses | Amanpour and Company

What she is saying applies to everywhere. I don't know why we put people through things like this and then criticize the people for being upset, distraught, angry, or vengeful.

@UC2dqpxDyFFxoYLH5U5UgxIA No. I want to clarify that I am a human. I would argue that most households on both sides didn't ask for this fight. They may not like the other party, but they'd prefer it if their block stayed un-exploded. Any place that got blown up probably has scarred the survivors mentally forever. I was analogizing this conflict to the Americans using drones to blow up entire blocks in Pakistan. So when I say "we" I'm referring to America. America used fear and anger to start a war in the middle east. Even used Hollywood as propaganda to make Americans okay with it. Now we expect people to let it go when we blow them up. Trauma impacts these people. It changes their lives. No matter what side they are on. I'm not on either country's "side". The discussion for that can be left to people who spend a lot more time thinking about this than me.

Amazing interview!!! How can you recover from trauma that is continuing? The 11 children bombed in their homes in Gaza were in the process of recovering from previous trauma.

Great interview. Michel is always adept at probing.

@Meg Gallucci: While this interview may be great, the audio in this interview is rather horrid. They should have tried harder not to butcher the audio, which is something that they commonly do, to make the interview more relatable & more enjoyable.

Many of their videos are bad like this. Awesome content but terrible audio - low quality, choppy, low volume overall even when I have the volume all the way up. They should have budget than most programs so why does their audio suck?

[@MorpheusOne]

@Matthew Bittenbender: At least indirectly, it partly is due to Covid-19. Amanpour&Co were doing interviews over the internet before the Pandemic; but, the Pandemic has really changed that dynamic of doing interviews, over the internet, from a convenience to a requirement; i.e., 'if they're going to get it done, then, this is it - because, this is the only way.' That cuts down on overhead, such as the hair, make-up, wardrobe people, audio & lighting technicians, etc., that are needed in studio where most news programs are filmed, interviews & all. This means people, such as the people doing the interviews, are doing their own hair, make-up, clothes, audio & lighting... And, inevitably, things get overlooked. By the time problems are noticed, they may decide that it's good enough & that it's not worth redoing the interview. The bad audio, specifically, comes from the interviews being filmed over an internet-connected device, such as just a phone, in the home of the interviewer. If their home is not well made for this, such as wall-to-wall hardwood floors/walls, this means that noises, especially those that are loud enough, are going to reverberate around the room. This creates an echo sound effect that gets picked up by the audio recorder in the internet-connected device, during the interview, and so the video is likely to have a substandard audio quality. And here we are...

@@MorpheusOne the hair and make up are of no concern. Their tech IMHO however should be top notch. Their audio seems like what a rando on his/her garage would have, but that person probably has a better set up.

Leadership on both sides are crazy. If Allah and Yahweh came down and gave each other a hug, this just may help to end the violent ignorance. Please please 🌷☮🌷
