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.
❤️💔❤️

It reveals so much of what we have been seeing: one’s unwillingness to bring full accountability to the Israeli regime.
On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And The BBC’s Irresistible Desire to Quote Israel
We’ve had enough of the propaganda of the occupier being repeated by the legacy media. And when it still gives airtime to unsubstantiated claims by the Israeli government regarding Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya even as his life is at risk, we should be enraged.
How to Make (No) Sense of The New Lebanese Agreement with Israel
As the Lebanese government signs an agreement with Israel, seemingly disregarding the leverage Iran is currently granting them, what does this all mean? What does it mean for Hezbollah, Lebanese resistance, and the future of the country itself?
