Challenging Anti-Iran Propaganda In the Middle East, w/ Denijal Jegic

  • The Middle East is drowning in anti-Iran propaganda emanating from Western, Gulf and oligarch-funded outlets that seek to turn the populations in the region against Iran and other institutions deemed to be “backed by Iran.” In Lebanon this plays out in a sectarian narrative that portrays Hezbollah as an Iranian proxy and depicts Shias as agents of an Iranian occupation of the country. This pattern has also been replicated in neighboring countries in an attempt to turn people against the regional forces that challenge U.S. imperialism.
    To understand the phenomenon, Rania Khalek was joined by Denijal Jegic, a professor of communication at Lebanese American University and author of a forthcoming research paper titled, “An Iranian Occupation of Lebanon: The imperialist media discourse on Western Asia.”

    As a lebanese shia, thank you for reminding people that we are indeed a part of lebanese population and not outsiders or anti-lebanon as some claim, and we had relationships with our neighbors over centuries.

      We really need a "decleration of human duties". The duty to tell the truth, the duty to listen, the duty to respect other human cultures, the duty to seek peace etc. All this talk about freedom and human rights means nothing when all you say are lies and democratic elected governments are destroyed by coups/wars/sanctions if they dont obey US rules/the will of rich Big western Businesses to get richer.

We are happy to see Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran having mended their differences and gone on of their diplomatic ties once again. Thanks to China for doing a great job.

    The explosion in the harbour of Beirut as devastating as it was, must have been a work of the CIA or their closest vasalls. After the 9/11 events, the Pentagon and US regimes plans for East Middle East was to making regime change in seven countries in five years. Lebanon was one of them and the terrorist attack in Beirut must have been an attempt to start an upheavel.

      Iran is not a Western neoliberal country.
      Iran is further acting in line with the evolutionary standards of its own culture and civilization. Any country with a great civilization like Iran should stay true its own culture and civilization, too.
      Iran shouldn't forgo its ways to please a neolib hegemon and its lackeys around the world that have eliminated all the elements of their own cultures for the sake of implementing the disastrous neolib world order.
      So, propaganda shall and will continue against Iran and any country that defies the neoliberal world order by staying true to its own culture and its own independent national interests.
