One on Hardtalk with the BBC’s Stephen Sackur, the other from BBC’s Newsnight. I’ve forwarded first video to 15:58 because the first half of the talk is a bunch of ridiculous clichés on the part of both men on Zionism, anti-semitism and Israel. If you like you can always start it from the beginning. Ultimately both interviews leave you wanting more.

FROM BOSNIA TO BENGAL -- The purpose of this blog
Me, I'm Nicholas Bakos, a.k.a. "NikoBako." I'm Greek (Roman really, but when I say that in English some five people in the world today understand what I'm talking about, so I use "Greek" for shorthand). I'm from New York. I live all over the place these days. The rest should become obvious from the blog.
See "JADDE: THE MISSION AND STARTING OFF, the blog's first entry below, and JADDE: THE NAME OF THIS BLOG for my general agenda:
"What I hope this blog accomplishes is to create even the tiniest amount of common consciousness among readers from the parts of the world in question."
