On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Historian of the Middle East Dr. Assal Rad. She discusses how Western media has consistently whitewashed Israel’s crimes for years against Palestinians, the shaping of media narratives and the use of language to change perceptions of Israel’s occupation of Palestine, how institutional dehumanisation and demonisation of Palestinians in the US, UK and EU is necessary to justify the magnitude of Israel’s crimes, the media’s broad refusal to challenge the narratives of the US State Department and Israel, the role of corporations in corrupting the media and political landscape in the US to ensure their narratives of choice prevail, the double standards of Western governments and media when it comes to talking about Saudi-Iran & Saudi-Syria normalisation agreements in the Middle East as well as Iran’s alliances in the region, AIPACs vice grip on US politics and covert Israeli influence campaigns to influence US elections, the ideologies of US officials which lead them to whitewash and enable Israel’s crimes, and much more.
