Topic Wiki

If your video is not embedding, see if your link starts with "http:" - if it does, change it to "https:" and it will work.

If a video isn't embedded you should assume it may be inappropriate for some people.

How do I embed a Youtube video?
Simply post the YouTube URL.
Alternately (actually, this may no longer work):
Click the "youtube" button on the second row on the furthermost left side.
You will now have the words: [youtube][/youtube] in your editor.
Now, copy and paste the youtube video id (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&x=y) in between the middle brackets in order for it to look like this:
    [youtube]oHg5SJYRHA0[/youtube]
and leave out this part of the link: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v="

Or you can paste the YouTube link, highlight it, and then click on the "YouTube" button. This will encase the link in the youtube tags,
Now just click "post" and you're done!


How can I search if a video has been posted here before?
This is not foolproof, but it's a good start.
Search for the youtube ID (youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)

When people have glasses, they figure it out by themselves. I've had glasses for nearly 20 years now.
+1, figured it out in 3rd grade when my glasses broke. No one in my class believed me that it worked.

Maybe she wasn't explaining very well, but it sounded like the 2 Jews who returned it called her rep on Shabbos. Makes it even crazier - not only did 2 Jews find it, it had to be non-frum Jews for it to help.

I love how even then some of the Yerushalmis were hiding their faces from the camera (I'm surprised they'd even know what it was back then). And the view of the Old City right at the beginning was wild, with basically no development outside the walls at all.
That view is of the South of the Old City. It's still not developed.

Not sure what you mean. It seems like the video was shot from somewhere southwest of the Old City (looking northward and little eastward), judging from the position of the Dome of the Rock. If that's the case, the area you see in the video below the walls of the Old City is still not particularly developed, but the area that appears in the frame above the Old City, especially the left hand side, is certainly developed.

The subject matter is much closer to match than law, so I think I have you on that one  ;D

But seriously, what am I missing? Where are you assuming the cameraman was stationed for that shot?

Slightly different tone/slant on the Middle East in '69 than in '38, to say the least. And is it just me, or did most of that training look really stupid and pointless?
