🚨 PROPAGANDA COLLAPSED LIVE ON AIR
Journalist Rajdeep Sardesai asked Iranian actress Elnaaz Norouzi about the situation in Iran.
He tried the usual narrative:
“Bombing is terrible… civilians are dying… school girls died.”
Her response stunned the room:
“Our regime has massacred Iranians for 47 years. When girls were poisoned in schools and thousands executed by the regime, where were you all?”
@bassem_youssef9 Regardless of your politics, what are you saying? You know Tel Aviv is full of civilians of all walks of life.
What are you actually hoping for? How do you sleep at night
Now that we’re out, I can speak freely about some of the things I’ve learned having accidentally found myself in a war zone, hunkering down with Israelis and other tourists in Tel Aviv shelters:
- I appear to have underestimated the power of trauma bonding
- Israelis’ insistence of living as normal of a life as possible under the most abnormal conditions is truly something to be in awe of
- there’s this thing you can do where you enter a liminal space of half-sleep so you straddle the awake world and the sleep world so you never miss a siren
- your high cortisol + adrenaline levels become a new baseline and your awareness of it fades away
- every barrage is a game of Russian roulette. Knowing your life is at the mercy of both technology and fate permanently changes the chemistry of your brain cells
- there is something truly clarifying about being in a shelter while hypersonic missiles dance overhead. You look at the person you’re in the shelter with - is this the one I want to share the terror of imminent extinction with? Have I lived well? Did I treat my family and friends right? Have I forgiven?
- while I was afraid on several occasions, I still consider it the privilege of a lifetime to witness history in the making
- the frisson of real danger cannot be replicated in our safe, prosperous societies back home. It is invigorating and forces one to jettison all utopian and luxury beliefs
- it’s inspiring to see young people exhibit qualities that in the West hasn’t been seen since WWII - resilience, duty and sacrifice
- the delta between what was going on in the kinetic war and the information war was observable; too many lies were spread in the fog of war which were far too easily believed (some big account confidently asserted that 1/3 of Tel Aviv was destroyed, which I could see with my own eyes was clearly not the case)
- there is a lot more diversity of opinion inside Israel than is apparent from the outside
- the shared, bedrock consensus that has been hammered into the consciousness of Jews because of their deep history and sense of self is a great strength the West sorely needs to emulate
@FSPDomino@stoolpresidente There was a very educated response from Natasha.
With respect - your dialogue does not get taken seriously is because when you seemingly lump
Together a bunch of conspiracy theorisation, it debunks it all.
and thank god for that cuz i don’t think dialogue will help sway u.
Sadly
@Dalicar @unchainedoctor @forbin01 This is not true, there are 2 million Israeli Arabs. It’s a small country - That’s a huge amount and they are having babies faster than most Israelis (apart from ultra orthodox). They have very single right !!
@Dalicar @unchainedoctor @forbin01 How is it apartheid when my doctors and neighbors and friends are Israeli Arabs, living freely. Participating in the parliament in schools in sports etc.
No Israelis can enter territories governed by Hamas.
@Dalicar@nathaliele75481 And there is a very long video with extensive footage. Houses were burnt, not with flamethrowers. Gas and lighters. People too
@m_ainasoja@Dalicar Ffs Michael - the possibilities of taking this down a dark path are endless if you’re going there. If you believe everything Wallace says you’re already rewriting history, so go ahead!
@Dalicar @bolykifineart And your secret intel is what? Conspiracy theories ? You’re gonna show us that Israel knew about this and they killed their own people ?
@Dalicar @unchainedoctor @forbin01 Why is someone a “troll” who expresses an opinion other than yours? Why are you so hateful. Do you live in Israel or Gaza ?
