I am not an expert on Iran — but I can turn to those who are.
That’s what I’m inviting you to do, too.
I invite you to watch this excellent conversation on Jadalyya, a platform that hosts a lot of scholars, analysts, and true experts in their fields who I admire greatly. One of its co-editors is Noura Erakat. Another one is Mouin Rabbani. That alone should be enough to catch your attention — and to push you into spending your time watching the recommended video below.
It is extremely dense. In over an hour and a half, you get to hear from four guests (Moun Rabbani is one of them) whose collective knowledge of the region simply cannot leave you without having learned anything new. Quite the opposite: it will leave you better informed and much better equipped to notice and deconstruct a great deal of propaganda that is already coming our way.
Please find the bios of both speakers and the host, Bassam Haddad, in the video description itself.
Watch it, share it, and continue seeking sources (ideally: informed voices of conscience ✊🏽) who deconstruct the mainstream narrative using their unbeatable expertise and a moral compass.
If you happen to be a Lithuanian speaker, please find an excellent video that does exactly that here.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️

Your Antiwar Voice Is Needed More Than You Might Think
The war machine won’t stop until it’s stopped, just as its propaganda won’t just disappear on its own. It was to be actively pointed to, deconstructed, and rejected as loudly as possible. And this is where everyone’s voice matters.
Good News: We Are on a Boat Ride Together; Bad News: It’s Being Steered by Psychopaths
We’re on a boat steered by psychopaths — and they’re not taking us anywhere nice. As the U.S. and Israel are destroying Lebanon and Iran, one thing can’t be clearer: it is the whole world that has to make them stop.
