The Western media.. lies and does not beautify

Recent events in the Middle East and the world have proven that Western media follows a pattern that it has always been known for, based on bias, misleading coverage, spreading lies, lack of objectivity, and distorting facts in favor of the Israeli enemy, with regular and continuous failures. 

The most recent positions that reflected the failures of the Western media were what was published by the “Wall Street Journal” newspaper. About an alleged role for Egypt and Jordan in calling on former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to leave the country and form a government in exile, which the two countries denied.

A statement by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the “allegations” were incorrect. Regarding advising Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to leave Syria and form a government in exile, he categorically denied the information reported by the Wall Street Journal. America in this regard.

 

 

 

The Jordanian embassy in Washington indicated that the newspaper did not contact it to verify this claim, which “constitutes a serious violation of journalistic standards.” , “Wall Street Journal” management claims By “issuing a correction immediately”.

Beautifying the enemy

In Syria, these Western media platforms have proven that the end justifies the means for the benefit of America in its dealings with the armed factions, specifically the leader of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham. After his picture topped the headlines of foreign newspapers and channels as a terrorist, the United States allocated $10 million to find him, as CNN decided to… Beautifying his image and re-presenting him to the world in an image far removed from the terrorist and with his real name of “non-verb”, and new words were used to describe the Syrian armed groups such as rebel groups, revolutionaries and opposition.

Also, “media” intended The West sought to create a wide space in transmitting the statements and statements of the leaders of these Syrian movements, while ignoring the official Syrian narrative and linking it to a satanic “Iranian-Russian” alliance. According to these means, in addition to adopting a discourse of fear about the fate of Syria and the Middle East by spreading the concept of Syria being exposed to the fate of civil war and division.

In covering the events in Syria, the Western media sought to divert attention from the scenes of Israeli crimes in Gaza and the violation of the ceasefire agreement. Shooting in southern Lebanon, and the crimes of bombing Gaza and displacing its residents disappeared from their screens.

Demonizing the resistance

Since the start of the war in Gaza, the media has adopted The West, the Israeli discourse, justifies the brutality and crimes of the occupation, as a response to the October 7th attack, in addition to its attempt to demonize the legitimate Palestinian resistance against the occupation and take the war out of its historical context and the realities of geography, by stating that Israel is the occupying power of the Palestinians who own the land. 

< p>A report by the Middle East Institute of Global Affairs concluded that the Western media failed to cover the aggression against Gaza and Lebanon in an objective, balanced and impartial manner. The blatant bias in favor of Israel, as the mainstream Western media has largely adopted a biased narrative of events since the attack launched by Hamas on October 7, and considered it a “terrorist attack,” while portraying the Israeli attack on Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of more than 50,000 people. Civilians, most of whom are women and children, as an act of “self-defense”.

The West is entrenched in the minds of opinion. The international public declares that what is happening in Gaza and Lebanon is war, not war crimes and aggression, and that it is a legitimate right of the occupation, despite the fact that its crimes resulted in the genocide of about 2.3 million people in Gaza, the destruction of the entire infrastructure and homes, and the starvation of its citizens.

False allegations&nbsp

Following the October 7th attack, the Western media adopted false allegations and lies that appear to an objective person to be “charades.” Israeli» Cheap, such as that Hamas fighters beheaded Israeli children and burned their bodies, raped underage Israeli girls, and that they possess secret tunnels and military facilities hidden under civilian infrastructure such as hospitals and refugee camps, and these “false” narratives spread; on social media and appeared prominently in famous newspapers and channels such as the “Daily Mail” And “The Washington Post”.

These false allegations had tragic consequences, facilitating the occupation to commit crimes against humanity such as massacres of hospitals in the Gaza Strip, claiming the presence of a Hamas command and control center under Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza, and the American media repeated these allegations. Once it became clear that this was not true, everyone moved on to something else.

And on the ground, Palestinians died based on these lies, including intensive care patients, and these allegations were likened to false American accusations that Saddam Hussein’s regime possessed weapons of destruction. Comprehensive, as this was the main justification for the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

The American media circulated a lie about Iraqi soldiers snatching infants from incubators. In Kuwait to justify the first American invasion of Iraq, although the deaths of infants in incubators in Gaza due to Israeli measures did not lead to a ceasefire, and instead, the Western media turned a blind eye to those massacres.

Unbalanced coverage

To achieve this, a report by the “Security Context” website stated that “CNN” For example, in its coverage of the Gaza war, it focuses on the plight of Israeli civilians and soldiers, and conveys personal stories about Jewish prisoners and those killed by the Israeli aggression army, while it considers Palestinian martyrs as mere numbers without telling stories that sympathize with them or publishing their pictures.

It also takes root. Media such as the “Daily Mail” The image of Hamas and Lebanese Hezbollah fighters as terrorists, while the Arab media portrays them as fighters for freedom and against Israeli oppression. 2023, when southern Gaza was bombed, which led to more Palestinian martyrs.

 However, the newspaper highlighted «British Telegraph» Highlighting a statement issued by US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, he blamed Hamas attacks during the ceasefire, and Western channels focused on the response of the Joe Biden administration to the current events, which turned the United States into an external hero.

The contradiction.

The contradiction. And racism

Western media adopted Israeli solutions to end the war against the Gaza Strip and Palestine, such as the possibility of “transferring” The Palestinians to the neighboring Arab countries, and this is consistent with the distorted mental image presented in Western films of the Arabs and that they live in a desert and have no affiliation to the land, with the aim of achieving the Jewish dream of a homeland from the Euphrates to the Nile.

And “Owen Jones” considered, The journalist in the British newspaper The Guardian said that these allegations represent a degree of racism in the Western media’s coverage of various events in the Middle East and Africa, which contradicts the claims of European and American countries in defending freedom and human rights.
