this is the tower that nasser built it is known in egypt as roosevelt's erection. the relationship between united states and the soviet union and egypt soured over the years and nasser went to the russians and to the czechoslovakian public regime and that soured the relationship by 1958 the relationship between the united states and united arab republic had deteriorated significantly it is february 1958 egypt and syria united and the response is the monarchies in iraq to form the alternative the federation of arab monarchies. on march 3rd 1958 the king of saudi arabia between nixon and dwight eisenhower told the american ambassador saudi arabia they were underway to overthrow the syrian government to wake up the republican 48 hours later the syrian intelligence service announced they had a plot to assassinate nasser that was spearheaded by the king not only did they have evidence by blowing up his airplane they had canceled checks to the plot makers as if you overthrow the regime do not sign the check.

the cia did not put nasser in office even before his coup the cia was in contact with nasser and thecia identified nasser and arab nationalism as the wave of the future and the united states wanted to be on the wave of the future and saw an arab nationalism as a very effective counter to communism in the middle east. the individual associated with this whole policy was roosevelt and then as the one holding his hand in the picture there and current roosevelt is of course the sky and of the results family and was born in argentina and his most famous to americans as the man who put the shop back in power in 1953 when most was removed from power in iraq and that is what he is famous for an famous for the fact that he was the initial person who dealt with nasser. nasser very shortly after taking power asked the cia for money in order to buy arms as a military general who is a hero of the 1948 war against israel and one of the things he wanted to do was reward the egyptian army by building up its military capabilities but the cia gave them a very small stipend variously three, five millio

chastened by the 1967 defeat president nasser made the political u. turn and embraced fattah well in them and can a lot of the last 5. years of most of your sort of it at last a group of us in fact went to egypt and we finally met with nasser i told him i was a masochist i said we had a group of young men who believed in their god i'm country and were intent on liberating it he said egypt what from now on sure everything was us. egypt began providing training and support for a fact that was on the condition that operations not be mounted from egyptian territory jordan quickly became the springboard of attack the government in a man could only stand by and watch. in march 1968 palestinian guerrillas attacked a bus killing 2 israelis. defense minister moshe dianne vowed to teach the palestinians a lesson. the target was the jordanian village of kut army in the jordan valley which had become a factor stronghold. some $15000.00 israeli troops were mobilized and took part in that attack. the palestinian defenders put up a stiff resistance. jordanian army a

rival palestinian groups emerged advocating coordination with nasser's regime. madness waiting for the mossad would look at decision to form a palestinian branch and coordinated this with the president that it was agreed that our actions would conform with the overall egyptian military strategy that we wouldn't carry out military action that would prematurely do egypt into a war with israel for which it wasn't yet that. in 1964 president nasser convened the 1st arab summit his aim was to lead an arab response to the continued existence and growing dominance of israel. the arab leaders voted to set up a body to organize the palestinians in their diaspora a commercial katie seen here on the right a palestinian diplomat from a well known family was chosen to head the newly formed body. from the outset he wanted an organization which would not just kowtow to arab regimes who love allow are going on at the eyelet the arabs agreed to set up the p.l.o. as a means of releasing the frustrations felt by the palestinians but then came when the shook lady who decided he was

the following day nasser died leaving the palestinians without their. father hussein signed a further agreement regulating the presence of palestinian fighters and doing what some palestinians refused to accept that you. think we meant collapse and in july 971 king hussein continued his account. the jordanian army overran the remaining p.l.o. bases and. forcing the palestinians to capitulate. and some palestinian fighters chose to give themselves up to israeli forces across the river jordan rather than surrender to what they viewed as a grim fate at the hands of the jordanians. and so forth the palestinians would term the events that led to their expulsion from jordan as black september. the p.l.o. had held sway over large areas of jordan now it was transformed into a broken movement in search of a sanctuary. one affect us leaders otherwise known as abu iyad was determined that the p.l.o. remain a force to be reckoned with despite the defeat in jordan. and tom imam i'm with him. a little that apple yet gathered a group of us and said you have to prove t

he was less famous for the fact that he was the initial person i dealt with nasser.after taking money to buy arms, the military general, he was a hero in the 1948 war against israel and naturally one of the things he wanted to do is rework the egyptian army by building up its military capabilities. the cia gave him a very small stipend, variously three to $5 million depending on the source, which would imply very many cars. but nasser instead spend the money on building a radio tower for his radio stations the voice of the arabs. back in the 1950s, radio was the equivalent of twitter today. it was the means of communicating with people. this is the towers before bill. it is known in egypt as roosevelt's erection. i won't go further than that. the relationship between the united states and egypt soured over the years. when nasser went to the russians and the czechoslovakian public regime in order to get within, and that really soured relations. by 1958, relations between the united states and egypt united arab republicans deteriorated significantly. as i said, in febr

block looking at an international issue and that is at egypt under abdul nasser.nasser had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the israeli's six-day war in 1967. here, block has portrayed him as having a napoleon complex, when in reality, nasser was pulling back from extremism, realizing that he didn't have the financial wherewithal to continue fighting the israelis and trying to meet his agenda that. so this is a case perhaps where history has come down more on the side of nasser than herb block. charles schultz and herb block were good friends. and they often did little things to honor one another. mr. schultz not so much in his peanuts cartoons. he was a big fan of herb block personally. but here we have the time-honored character of snoopy cursing communism. communists in general, and snoopy represents bomb-happy generals. and that's another kind of vietnam cartoon. american generals wishing that they could bomb more in vietnam and win the war. one of the things i like to do is select five cartoons that relate to a series of events or a particular event

and let's get more now with yemeni journalist nasser who is joining us. so tell us the ceasefire just came into effect in the last hour is there any indication that hu forces will observe this true. well thank you very much. the us mr the wear is still there and nothing is changing although it's not. who would observe or with who he would observe or not i think the most important thing is. who would be able to in the this war is there is. a serious willingness from saudia arabia this war will in immediately and. this is why the police here are hard. to have because there have been a lot of developments a lot of the things that are happening so the hope now is the list has been higher than anytime before and saudi arabia is the only one who can in is they really want to into this war how high is that hope i mean realistically speaking put it into context for us i mean do you see now the possibility that this indeed could pave the way for a lasting and to the fore. there are a lot of things that have. community enemies and saudis and israel who are involved

nasser was at the world with me and with the destruction of the olive trees comes economic ruin as palestinians are left on able to work because they are forced to spend so long negotiating the divide. the bloody about. what i've been a kid with. bated. been a baby. of being. in. a year with a look how deeply in love with the lives of our lord. but is it a little bit too going on a lot of it is an official's little. visit they wanted to have. this was that. it was it was. inaudible i mean there's a particular you know. with the many of them and all that it's all. because of it but if you had to say to me you really mean is that. it is driving people in the spirit because the younger generation no there's no fear. livelihood for peace but it's their agricultural villages if they're in a situation where only about 200 people or 300 people out of a population of 10000 for example somebody says we've been to bernie 2 or 300 people can get regularly to their land obviously you can't call this an agricultural village anymore. you daughter to your deeds you need to show he doing on them. plus a lot of

arab endeavor its as right wing government not left wing government but you say that the outdoor nasser socialism is a brand of socialism that's been particularly violent and harmful. >> i think that's part of the problem we've had really since the 1930s. others said when you have hitler come onis board by late 1930s they're calling him a right wing dictator i think this was accidental. i think these were political scientists to decide decided to develop a spectrum of right and left so they put naziism over here and socialism and communism over here and in reality they're just different variance of socialism, in fact, hitler was proud of his socialism but he said like most inventor of something he wanted to make sure it was distinct and hiss was racist and, obviously, genocide y'all but proud of those things but he said this is unique he would come up with a unique form of social when you look at original they're from communist manifesto and a collection of everything else but they did it because after the war and people became so horrified with what he did, you know, with the holocaust

nasser was that the world will meet and with the destruction of the olive trees comes economic ruin as palestinians are left on able to work because they are forced to spend negotiating the divide. the bloody about. what i've been kid on with the. baited. a debate. i've been. in myself. with the left probably with the. blood but is it a little bit too who. want a lot of it is it my position was little. that they wanted to have. this was that. it was it was. not i mean there's a particularly. with somebody element of it is all. about it but if you had to say to me you really mean is that. it is driving people to despair because the younger generation have no there's no fear. her livelihood for peace but it's their agricultural villages if they're in a situation where only about 200 people or 300 people out of a population of 10000 for example somebody is we've been to bernie 2 or 300 people can get regularly to their land obviously you can't call this an agricultural village anymore. to your daughter did you did you need to show he doing on the. bus a lot of this sort of get out that is
