Middle East Propaganda
The Middle East is in a constant state of military alert, and hardly a day goes by without some bigwig, somewhere, issuing an incendiary statement intended to fan the flames of conflict. And to make matters worse, ordinary people are subjected to a constant onslaught of propaganda – from all sides. But how much do we really know about that area?
Here’s a small quiz to test your own knowledge:
Q: What Middle East country has the most Jewish people outside of Israel?
A: Iran – with 25,000 Jewish citizens
Q. What Middle East leader donated money to a Jewish hospital, one not in Israel?
A: President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran
Q: Would you rather be a Palestinian living under Israeli occupation in Gaza, or a Jew living as a citizen in Iran?
A: Only you know the answer to that last question. But before answering it, I recommend you read this illuminating article by Mike Whitney, which attempts to set the record straight about our perceptions of the Middle East situation: Why Iran’s Jews Are Better Off Than Gaza’s Palestinians
