“Palestine 1920: The Other Side of the Palestinian Story”, an Al-Jazeera documentary

“A land without a people, and a people without a land” is how the relationship between Palestine and the Jewish people was described by Christian writers in the 1800s. And the 20th-century history of the Middle East has largely been written through these eyes. But this film from Al Jazeera Arabic looks at Palestine from a different angle. It hears from historians and witness accounts, and features archive documents that show Palestine as a thriving province of Greater Syria and the Ottoman Empire at the dawn of the 20th century.

“The Lobby (USA)”, a leaked Al-Jazeera investigation exposing Israel’s influence on US politicians

In late 2018, online Palestinian news site The Electronic Intifada obtained a complete copy of The Lobby – USA, a four-part undercover investigation by Al Jazeera into Israel’s covert influence campaign in the United States, made during 2016 and was completed in October 2017 but censored after Qatar, the gas-rich Gulf emirate that funds Al Jazeera, came under intense Israel lobby pressure not to air the film.
