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.
❤️💔❤️

An Interview on Iran and Israel You Have to See
This is an absolute must-watch: Jeremy Scahill, one of the few journalists who interviews and is trusted by various actors, including the Iranian government, talks to Samir Mohyeddin about the U.S.-Iranian negotiations and Israel’s “fragile ceasefires” in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s a conversation good for our brains and conscience.
When Words Become Both The Representation And The Represented
The simplest propaganda technique – blatant lies – might be all that Israel and its supporters have left in their toolbox. Yet words with no meaning is what our leaders, too, have been resorting to for years now, following Israel itself.
Israel: The Only Country Whose Actions Never Represent Itself
If it is not its ministers, navy, police, prison guards, people marching on the streets, nor settlers protected by the army, who, then, actually represents Israel?
