The work journalists do in war zones cannot be overstated. International laws protect journalists in war zones as long as they do not participate in the hostilities. They report on the fighting and, humanitarian issues and abuses. The news they provide today will be the history our children are taught. Thank you to every journalist who has ever risked their lives to bring us the stories we need to see and hear.
@Ops Blac The "protection" the laws provide is that it labels fighters who attack journalists as criminals as allows them to be prosecuted. All fighters/soldiers engaged in warfare should be familiar with who is fair game and who's not. Journalists are not.
Journalists have shown the brutality of war; how the civilian populations are affected and some of the terror faced by soldiers. Journalism has probably changed the perception the public has of war, and this is a good thing, but now that a clearer picture of the brutality of war has been created in the minds of the public, they provide little except entertainment.

@John Weedon Drones massacred many innocent lives. Women, children, innocent relatives were killed by these drone attacks all around the world. Many times wrong info ensured that. I don’t know the stats in Syria, but in Pakistan and Afghanistan thousands of innocents were killed, unfortunately. Which is why more and more people became infuriated and joined the other side. Just imagine some wedding parties were also targeted. Which is why more and more people joined these groups.

The first kidnapping was different and not in Syria. It was in Libya 18 months earlier when he was captured by pro-Gaddafi forces and released from jail after 45 days. He wrote about the experience and returned to Libya to witness Gaddafi's capture. He was a brave journalist who cared about people. He did have concerns about safety after Libya but felt his work was important. He was as decent as they come.

I don’t think it’s balls a lot of the time, some of them for sure but a lot of them (especially the ones who just YOLO travel out to insurgent run areas without any protection) I think they get a rush and feel untouchable doing this work until they get hurt.
Ive been in a lot of dangerous countries for my non government job. A couple of times just going about my daily work and routine, I found myself in a couple of hairy situations for no reason other than I was a western foreigner. Let me tell you, the majority of this world is a very dangerous place, journalist or not.
Especially when the US is fomenting coups, civil war or illegally invading other countries and murdering their population to pillage their natural resources.
Hate this happened I remember when it happened I was so furious as someone who fought in 2006 in Iraq it made my blood boil seeing the isis push. However if someone was kidnapped once and survived and got home safe that should be a sign never place yourself back in a area without a strong security team around you again ! These journalists should never be anywhere without a good security team. The jobs they do are very dangerous and is needed for information the United States should assign civilian security teams made up of veterans plenty of vets who need work and could use the contracting work! The news stations should hire these private security teams and always have security with their people if the government won’t assign them!
All US vets are mentally ill with severe PTSD and homicidal/suicidal tendencies 😂😂😂 you'll be lucky to find a vet that won't shoot the ones he's supposed to protect if not worse 😂
No one will talk to them if they have security with them. Worse, they will be a much bigger target if they have armed personal with them. But we (the citizens) need to know what happens in the world and journalists are a very important part of our society. Imbedded journalism is worthless and we get the best stories/info from independent investigative journalists. Unfortunately journalism becomes more dangerous every year and I don't think that it will change soon. These groups (Mexican Cartels, Fundamentalists and organized crime in general) aren't happy that the information about them becomes public.
Yeah nuts would be a understatement. No clue what he was thinking ,sadly enough any hostages left are most likely dead as ISIS collapsed in 2016 and 2018 after many governments started to attack them!
I respect journalists who want to get things out to the people, but I feel like a lot of them including John are also a sort of adrenaline junkies wanting to play closer and closer to the fire until they get burned. They dont even bother try to move with the protection of a friendly fighting force, they just YOLO out in insurgent run war zones and stick out like a sore thumb.

@@SaigonMikael not true. He was kidnapped in Syria just a few months before crossing the Turkey border with Jeroen. They were both shot and had to be rescued by the Syrian army. Literally as soon as he recovered he went right back to an even MORE violent area. I feel sorry for what happened to him but it was an incredibly idiotic move. Jeroen (who is in this documentary) was also killed later on in another warzone.
The only rule in post modern warfare is there are no rules. Journalists know that, for any or no reason, they are at risk of Medieval cruelty and death at any time. Brave people, that's for sure! They are playing a game of cat and mouse and journalists are the mouse.
I remember seeing one of those beheading videos soon after 9/11. I was in 7th grade. Afterwards I could feel a sour feeling in my stomach and had to go to the bathroom bc I thought I was going to throw up. I never liked seeing that extreme violence. The other one that stuck with me was the Jane Doe video from the Zetas. It was horrifying.
I cannot watch videos like that. Not at all. Even when it's a damn movie and it has torture. I cannot watch or listen. Especially when they are whipping someone. My god that sound does something to me. That I'll yell at my husband and say " change that! U know I can't hear that"
I couldn’t watch one but I listened to one of this white man with I believe orange hair and a beard around 2017. The screams will haunt me for life. At least I’m Dubai they do it by one whip of a sword. It’s quick compared to how is does it. I’ve heard they continue to keep yazidis in the camps as slves bc they’re too scared to speak up.

@@ruthbrent7048 yeah it’s terrible. The one I mentioned above with the cartel was bad not bc of screaming, oddly enough she was silent but it was the way he did it.

@@dam11232 Mexican drug cartel or something killing people(other gang members) while recording it or something like that,if you want to know what they do in such videos without watching that disturbing stuff if you can't like me,the channel "disturbed reality" does it well,talks about the things happening in the videos(a lot of other disturbing videos too) without showing it,but he does it so well that you still feel like you watched the videos.There's one particular video that he has that is related to Isis and how they killed 30 or 40 people in a slaughter house like cattle on the holy day of ramadan or something like that,he describes that video also very well,all videos are great and you don't need to watch them since he doesn't show these videos but he talks them in detail what happens in them,don't really know how he can endure watching those videos to be able to tell us who can't watch them what happened
Sadly when we are fighting a enemy that doesn't play by established courtesies of warfare, they become targets, if you aren't with those groups you are their enemy. It is the same for soldiers who fight these groups to a much lesser extent. We are bound by certain battlefield etiquette rules that these groups also don't have to follow, for example the killing of medical personnel.
The US murders everything that moves allover the world to pillage their natural resources. Etiquette doesn't even exist in the US foreign policy and military dictionary.
@@Givemeproofkidyou can literally be charged for crimes committed on the battlefield, war crimes are real. Some battlefield etiquette is also the existence of them being laws of war. Terrorists do not care, the goal is to rule by fear, and ISIS is/was looking to rule the world through its terror. They have no intention of playing by the rules when they desire complete world domination.
For context, as stated at the start of the video but may be forgotten once you've been watching a few minutes this "aired" June 2017. This is especially relevant at the end.
Risking your life being a Journalist in Syria I would imagine the thrill knowing the risks could be exciting adrenaline for some of them until the reality of actually getting captured by a terrorist organization happens then the reality of likely death sets in. ISIS took one looks at Cantlie and said this guy sounds believeable he Can't Lie lets make him our spokesman as crazy as that sounds i bet they did.
I would never let my family negotiate with terrorists and they know that. I'm a ranger veteran. Many missions overseas. My family knew if I was ever captured. I'd do my best to get away myself. Other than that. Remember me in your hearts.
@@MarvoloSalazar I'm a civilian... don't negotiate on my behalf. I'll do my best to escape and if I die... I die. Don't incentive more Americans to be taken on my behalf.
Mustafa set them up … he had intel to where they were and he’s the only one that was allowed to go. He played both sides. Translators and interpreters usually do.
I have to give this beautiful journalist credit for going into war zone and doing her job my hat is off to her I wish her luck and protection so she can do her job and bring the world news of what's going on in Afghanistan in Iraq
The premiums would be unaffordable in these areas. Ransoms being paid out we’re regularly in the 5-10 mill range per person. Good luck if you are an American.
@@WJWeber no it isn't I've worked as a contractor in Syria and depending they can be around 50k a yr in this case when it was so hot it might have been more or less but they definitely wouldn't insure them on the return trip ur probably right about 5 mil on a second go in the same warzone
Watch both movies tied to this account and see for yourself, you will especially like the part when he's riding on the back of a police motorcycle in Mosul talking about how wonderful it is that the Dolat-alIslam is finally bringing justice to people in the form of Hadud, chopping off hands and feet and public beheadings to those who fall short of a true believer.
@@respond2meifudareMaybe you should start with “People started a rumour that he joined ISIS”. He didn’t join ISIS, he was forced to be a spokesman for them while in captivity. He is presumed dead, and has been for years, but ISIS militants stated they had sightings of him in 2017 and 2019, but nothing was confirmed. The family held a funeral for him in 2022.
you know, I have to say, I bet James would say he died doing what he loved and was passionate about. As much as the act of kidnapping and killing him made me RAGE, it consolidated the US public against ISIS and ultimately brought them down (was a part). I work in a very rare job, a very very dangerous job doing outbreaks of highly resisitant and deadly bacteria infections. I remember every day the danger I face but I also love the thrill of the chase, the danger is part of it. Its a challenge, its hard at times, but if I die doing this work, I had a good ride. I have to imagine anyone who does high danger jobs accepts that and the US government should NEVER negotiate with these terrorists. I hate it for the person, but it really does protect more people in the end. Very hard. Why these groups deserve no mercy. NONE
Brought them down? In 2014 they were only operating in Iraq and Syria, now they are all around the globe (Nigeria, Burkina Faso, still in the Middle east, Libya, Afghanistan, Philippines etc) They got what they wanted. what did the American public expect? hugs and roses after their government bombs cities en masse? churlish folk.
the US created ISIS, "public support" had nothing to do with their destruction but a change in policy, and "public support" is not what dictates policy, despite what you've been taught
You absolutely can't negotiate with terrorist. Is that so hard to understand why? They'll start asking to release imprisoned terrorist members more often that asking for ransom. Think
Well I can’t think of a time when people don’t negotiate with them. The us along with everyone has done it forever. It just depends where both lines are.
I see it going two ways, she was already destined for death and he couldn't change that or he expedited her death because she became a easy target because she was already willing to be a martyr and they used it as a way to make the u.s. look bad

⭐The way to get out of a hostage situation is you have to be a prize he wants to keep alive... Be a worth to your kidnapper he cannot detach from. Be everything that she needs. That will keep you alive while you plan an escape.
Before you find yourself restrained with a dark hood over your head as you are taken for a long ride to nowhere, it is better to have a plan and a mindset to avoid being kidnapped. My experience and training on this subject includes making the criminal decide if you are worth the trouble, or if another person is a better candidate for abduction
The fbi doesn't operate outside of American soil...... That would be the CIA. But journalist were told the risk and that territory would not be negotiated with
Well that’s what happens in a warzone nobody is off limits, there is no rules. Only consequences after maybe but at the time anything goes without punishment in that moment.
Yeah a lot of journalists seem to enjoy the rush and have some ego that they are untouchable unless there’s an accident, but it’s not a game. Especially after already being kidnapped and released there’s no doubt in my mind he was murdered as soon as they realized it was him again.
So wild that they were tweeting with anybody that would interact with them on twitter. Like that leader that was so affected by a tweet from a used car salesman that they started skyping?? 😳
My teacher in HS son actually got beheaded by isis actually my teacher ended up retiring from teaching because of it also son's name was Peter Kassig or something cant remember his last name
It's sad that they got killed like that but blaming government for not doing anything that is just throwing responsibility on others they knew the risks
The footage used and stories of the hostages are almost a decade old from 2014-2015. I imagine the activity has died down ever since the US' withdraw from Afghanistan.
Negotiating with terrorists only makes them kidnap even more people and funds their operations. Only way to deal with a troll is ignore its taunts while bombing it into submission, or leaving the area all together.
What is the movie called the one where Angelina Jolie plays the wife. They kidnap the husband I believe if I can remember correctly the name of the husband was Daniel Green or something like that. Eventually those tourists killed him and supposedly they recorded it. But in the movie Angelina she played the wife she didn't want 2 see it. She never has. And she did a phenomenal job played the wife. When they told her they killed him. Her cries and screams her sorrow was so sad. She did a good job.
Angelina Jolie played Marianne Pearl in A Mighty Heart. Probably the last time it was acceptable for a white actress to engage in some mild Blackface in order to be cast as a biracial woman.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure thaat the vast majority of people Middle East would rather never see an American soldier voluntarily bringing them "democracy", war, and regime change ever again, too.
I was 20 years old in 2001 and I remember how traumatizing it was for years following 9/11. Our entire way of life changed forever that day. It seems like kids nowadays are that they are now pro-terrorist. When I see them marching in the streets forfor Hammas, it makes me wanna throw up. I had to go to therapy during the entire war on terror. I saw so many kids, my age going into the military and dying. We watched 3000 of our own citizens die on TV that day. Words cannot describe how that felt.
Honestly i see their point and it was made quite clear in the video. If people know youre paying ransom it just makes everyone else connected to you an even bigger target. The journalists here clearly knew what they were getting into. If you keep running into a wall face first and ignore the pain youre not long for this world. If your reaction to being kidnapped by terrorists is "not again" then you probably made some choices that werent contributing to your long term survival. Actions have consequences.
I don’t even think the journalists should be allowed to go to war-zones without a waiver on they are responsible for the risk ands dangers. Journalists are a huge liability to their country of origin. To bring the kidnapped back, the government needs taxpayer money, military and intelligence resources and risk more lives just to risk one person’s life. The taxpayer’s money, resources and lives have to sacrifice for the country’s public image to save face. Journalists should go to danger zones on their own risks, hire their own securities and pay their own insurance.

@@dam11232 Mexican drug cartel or something killing people(other gang members) while recording it or something like that,if you want to know what they do in such videos without watching that disturbing stuff if you can't like me,the channel "disturbed reality" does it well,talks about the things happening in the videos(a lot of other disturbing videos too) without showing it,but he does it so well that you still feel like you watched the videos.There's one particular video that he has that is related to Isis and how they killed 30 or 40 people in a slaughter house like cattle on the holy day of ramadan or something like that,he describes that video also very well,all videos are great and you don't need to watch them since he doesn't show these videos but he talks them in detail what happens in them,don't really know how he can endure watching those videos to be able to tell us who can't watch them what happened
Sadly when we are fighting a enemy that doesn't play by established courtesies of warfare, they become targets, if you aren't with those groups you are their enemy. It is the same for soldiers who fight these groups to a much lesser extent. We are bound by certain battlefield etiquette rules that these groups also don't have to follow, for example the killing of medical personnel.
Like the ‘medical personnel’ who helped turn in osama? Many people believe they are legitimate targets if they help one side.
The US murders everything that moves allover the world to pillage their natural resources. Etiquette doesn't even exist in the US foreign policy and military dictionary.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂lol
No one follows any rule when dealing with enemies and we are not kids.
@@Givemeproofkidyou can literally be charged for crimes committed on the battlefield, war crimes are real. Some battlefield etiquette is also the existence of them being laws of war. Terrorists do not care, the goal is to rule by fear, and ISIS is/was looking to rule the world through its terror. They have no intention of playing by the rules when they desire complete world domination.
Their “fixer” sold them out. It’s hard to get leads when you’re being MISLED from the beginning and buy all of it.
That is actually true according to most who had ties to these slain journalists. Money wins.

Rest in Peace Steve Sotloff. You are dearly missed.
For context, as stated at the start of the video but may be forgotten once you've been watching a few minutes this "aired" June 2017. This is especially relevant at the end.
I feel sorry for those women and innocents who died and those European women and kids who are still in that camp .
Are you fool to be sorry for those Jihadis kids and child
The ones who willingly joined isis? 🤨
You shouldn't be sad for the one's in the camp, they chose that life.
Risking your life being a Journalist in Syria I would imagine the thrill knowing the risks could be exciting adrenaline for some of them until the reality of actually getting captured by a terrorist organization happens then the reality of likely death sets in. ISIS took one looks at Cantlie and said this guy sounds believeable he Can't Lie lets make him our spokesman as crazy as that sounds i bet they did.
so they shouldnt cover it unless they want their life converted into more funding for the terrorists operation....
Everyone who always says (they do not negotiate with hostage takers) is never saying that if it’s their own family that are the hostages 🙄🤷♂️🤔
I would never let my family negotiate with terrorists and they know that. I'm a ranger veteran. Many missions overseas. My family knew if I was ever captured. I'd do my best to get away myself. Other than that. Remember me in your hearts.

I have to give this beautiful journalist credit for going into war zone and doing her job my hat is off to her I wish her luck and protection so she can do her job and bring the world news of what's going on in Afghanistan in Iraq
Ok simp. The video is about a guy derp

How these ppl don't have kidnap and ransom insurance is beyond me
😂
@@jabru3092 it's very easy. I mentioned a company above that does it. Look at their website it's actually cool to see.
The premiums would be unaffordable in these areas. Ransoms being paid out we’re regularly in the 5-10 mill range per person. Good luck if you are an American.
@@WJWeber no it isn't I've worked as a contractor in Syria and depending they can be around 50k a yr in this case when it was so hot it might have been more or less but they definitely wouldn't insure them on the return trip ur probably right about 5 mil on a second go in the same warzone
Hold up
There is NO story that is worth your life like that.
I don't know why governments bother keeping these surrendered/captured ISIS people fed and alive. Let there be some justice. Just unalive them.

Makes sense they were kidnapped in Idlib because that's were the leader of ISIS and then his successor were killed.
And people still want to blame israel for having to deal with those people for decades
I was hoping to hear good news about John Cantlie but looks like no updates.
Is it possible he is actually still there?
Watch both movies tied to this account and see for yourself, you will especially like the part when he's riding on the back of a police motorcycle in Mosul talking about how wonderful it is that the Dolat-alIslam is finally bringing justice to people in the form of Hadud, chopping off hands and feet and public beheadings to those who fall short of a true believer.
has there been any news at all about what happened to John Cantlie? I can't find anything anywhere.
last we heard he had joined isis as a journalist for the caliphate. most likely killed in an american air strike
@@respond2meifudareMaybe you should start with “People started a rumour that he joined ISIS”. He didn’t join ISIS, he was forced to be a spokesman for them while in captivity. He is presumed dead, and has been for years, but ISIS militants stated they had sightings of him in 2017 and 2019, but nothing was confirmed. The family held a funeral for him in 2022.
Thank you for sharing this information.
you know, I have to say, I bet James would say he died doing what he loved and was passionate about. As much as the act of kidnapping and killing him made me RAGE, it consolidated the US public against ISIS and ultimately brought them down (was a part). I work in a very rare job, a very very dangerous job doing outbreaks of highly resisitant and deadly bacteria infections. I remember every day the danger I face but I also love the thrill of the chase, the danger is part of it. Its a challenge, its hard at times, but if I die doing this work, I had a good ride. I have to imagine anyone who does high danger jobs accepts that and the US government should NEVER negotiate with these terrorists. I hate it for the person, but it really does protect more people in the end. Very hard. Why these groups deserve no mercy. NONE
Brought them down? In 2014 they were only operating in Iraq and Syria, now they are all around the globe (Nigeria, Burkina Faso, still in the Middle east, Libya, Afghanistan, Philippines etc)
They got what they wanted. what did the American public expect? hugs and roses after their government bombs cities en masse? churlish folk.
What is " doing outbreaks" mean?
how does it protect more people in the end? they will still kidnap, not being able to sell them back only solidifies what will happen to them
@@rodmacd8357 It means she doesn't know that infections aren't contagious.
the US created ISIS, "public support" had nothing to do with their destruction but a change in policy, and "public support" is not what dictates policy, despite what you've been taught
RIP to the brave people who do this. I also am curious why something was blurred out on the web chart she was making..
You absolutely can't negotiate with terrorist. Is that so hard to understand why? They'll start asking to release imprisoned terrorist members more often that asking for ransom. Think
You should not deal with the Kiev regime.
@@thornil2231 you should take your medicine
Well I can’t think of a time when people don’t negotiate with them. The us along with everyone has done it forever. It just depends where both lines are.
Those drawings are really nice
38:25 They locked this guy up for talking to isis but in EU they give isis members a free house and let them roam around freely.
Why would other journalist even go out there knowing it has been so many other journalist that have been kidnapped from around that area. 🤦🏿♂️
I feel awful for these fixers, you can see the guilt they are carrying.
Good documentary, except the part where Adam shiff started to talk
Jeroen Oerlemans died in 2016. He was shot by a sniper in Libië. RIP Jeroen 🙏🏻
That dude totally got that girl killed and still doesn't get it.
I see it going two ways, she was already destined for death and he couldn't change that or he expedited her death because she became a easy target because she was already willing to be a martyr and they used it as a way to make the u.s. look bad
🤷♂️ at this point who knows really
Unexpectedly good documentary.

⭐The way to get out of a hostage situation is you have to be a prize he wants to keep alive... Be a worth to your kidnapper he cannot detach from. Be everything that she needs. That will keep you alive while you plan an escape.
Before you find yourself restrained with a dark hood over your head as you are taken for a long ride to nowhere, it is better to have a plan and a mindset to avoid being kidnapped.
My experience and training on this subject includes making the criminal decide if you are worth the trouble, or if another person is a better candidate for abduction
Terrifying

What about a cucumber sandwich 🥪?
Their info was sold to a broker for kidnappings. usually someome in customs or at the airport. Closest to the area
Well that’s what happens in a warzone nobody is off limits, there is no rules. Only consequences after maybe but at the time anything goes without punishment in that moment.
U gotta lose that name zombie
@@ShortSimson Learn to spell and I might consider it.
Yeah a lot of journalists seem to enjoy the rush and have some ego that they are untouchable unless there’s an accident, but it’s not a game. Especially after already being kidnapped and released there’s no doubt in my mind he was murdered as soon as they realized it was him again.
Exactly Civilian casualties does not invalidate a war of self defense and the reason foreign journalists are not allowed in Gaza.

Why can't the CIA use counterfeit money in this kind of situation..or are these sand ninjas to clever for that 🤔
It wud be money transfer not actual currency.. terrorists not dumb
I was under the impression that the US doesn't negotiate ransom with other countries because then it would open up the gates for others to do the same
So wild that they were tweeting with anybody that would interact with them on twitter. Like that leader that was so affected by a tweet from a used car salesman that they started skyping?? 😳

The footage used and stories of the hostages are almost a decade old from 2014-2015. I imagine the activity has died down ever since the US' withdraw from Afghanistan.
Negotiating with terrorists only makes them kidnap even more people and funds their operations.
Only way to deal with a troll is ignore its taunts while bombing it into submission, or leaving the area all together.
How are you gonna compare a terrorist with a troll
Exactly why Israel does not want to negotiate with Hamas
What is the movie called the one where Angelina Jolie plays the wife. They kidnap the husband I believe if I can remember correctly the name of the husband was Daniel Green or something like that. Eventually those tourists killed him and supposedly they recorded it. But in the movie Angelina she played the wife she didn't want 2 see it. She never has. And she did a phenomenal job played the wife. When they told her they killed him. Her cries and screams her sorrow was so sad. She did a good job.
The movie is called - A Mighty Heart and her husband is the reporter Daniel Pearl
Angelina Jolie played Marianne Pearl in A Mighty Heart. Probably the last time it was acceptable for a white actress to engage in some mild Blackface in order to be cast as a biracial woman.
I have a hard time feeling sorry for anyone who voluntarily goes to the middle east as an American.

They bomb our countries and expect us to be friendly.
I was 20 years old in 2001 and I remember how traumatizing it was for years following 9/11. Our entire way of life changed forever that day. It seems like kids nowadays are that they are now pro-terrorist. When I see them marching in the streets forfor Hammas, it makes me wanna throw up. I had to go to therapy during the entire war on terror. I saw so many kids, my age going into the military and dying. We watched 3000 of our own citizens die on TV that day. Words cannot describe how that felt.
Wow FBI is a real piece of work. 🥴 I hope
You win your case Toby
Honestly i see their point and it was made quite clear in the video. If people know youre paying ransom it just makes everyone else connected to you an even bigger target.
The journalists here clearly knew what they were getting into. If you keep running into a wall face first and ignore the pain youre not long for this world. If your reaction to being kidnapped by terrorists is "not again" then you probably made some choices that werent contributing to your long term survival.
Actions have consequences.
Here is John Cantlie?
Love your work!
I don’t even think the journalists should be allowed to go to war-zones without a waiver on they are responsible for the risk ands dangers. Journalists are a huge liability to their country of origin. To bring the kidnapped back, the government needs taxpayer money, military and intelligence resources and risk more lives just to risk one person’s life. The taxpayer’s money, resources and lives have to sacrifice for the country’s public image to save face. Journalists should go to danger zones on their own risks, hire their own securities and pay their own insurance.
This is why foreign journalists are not allowed into Gaza 😮
I feel sorry for him
