Part of Global Political Economy class requires us to join a programme called Soliya where students from different universities around the world engage with one another through video conferencing once a week for two hours. This programme’s main objective is to draw people from the West and the East helping them to learn more about each other’s cultures, perspectives, identities etc. usually we would have readings for the week we’re meeting that would help us get background and current information on the topics we are covering.
So :) part of this course is a video editing assignment!!
This year’s topic is the U.S. presidential candidates and their stance on the Middle East!! We got provided with lots of background information about the elections plus media clips provided by AP and Al Jazeera, mainly footage on the elections!!
I had put this together :p…wasn’t very easy...there were 97 media clips to look through!! However in this one I have split these clips to the bits I want and trimmed them together.
This is a like a rough draft of what I think I want to include, plus trying out the extra features that are available, so far I’ve only added titles!
Thought of sharing it :)…
It is interesting how the Israelis, both figures within the government, refer to U.S.’s engagement and support to Israel as an “obligation”.

I truly enjoyed watching that. You took care to get a broad look at each candidate's opinions and highlighted the irregularities. I can see why you included that clip of Obama at the AIPAC rally. Nice.
The only thing I'd ask for would be subtitles with the date and context of the interviews and speeches. That can help a lot when you're trying to understand why each candidate is saying what they are.
Thank you for putting this up :)
Very interesting, Rama. My theory is in politics, candidates are careful to tell people what they want to hear. Which may mean it differs from one group to another. ;)
