Saudi media continues to decay in swamp of normalisation

In a new scandal, Saudi regime’s media is continuing to fall in normalization with Israel, the local newspaper, Al-Jazeera, published an article promoting the late Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.

The article written by “Siham Al-Qahtani,” called Meir as “one of the distinguished women, regardless whether she was “good and bad”, because it is not a measure of the selection of the character you are talking about.

It is worth noting that Golda, the Zionist war criminal, worked on funding for the Jewish terrorist gangs, who committed the massacres of 1948, which when stood on the shore of the Gulf of Aqaba, said: “I smell the scent of my ancestors in Khaybar.”

The Saudi media raises a lot of anger in Arab and Islamic circles these days by adopting a letter promoting the embrace of the Israeli occupation, amid calls to boycott it.

As the Saud media ignore high instructions, with premeditation, all the attacks practiced by this occupation against the Palestinians and the Arabs individually and groups, along the Arab map.

However, neither of us should be surprised, or pretend to be shocked by what he sees and hears, and we should not be forgot that this infodemic is not the product of the moment.

Looking back a little, and reflecting on the Saud media during the last three decades, it can be said that the normalization we see nowadays is nothing but the tip of the iceberg.

With reference to the nineties of the last century, the beginning of the spread of the fashion of Arab satellite channels, the Saud regime and its pioneering companies in the field of media investment have flooded the space with a large number of satellite channels with trivial or propaganda-directed content.

Within a few years, the Arab space was filled with a sweeping torrent of channels, some of which were devoted to deepening the sectarian rift, including those that promoted the fortunes of astrology and herbal and sacred treatment, while other channels began to wash the brains of Arab youth with strange contents imported from Mexico and the United States, and even from Australia and Turkey.

In conclusion, the purpose of these stations, or packages, as they were called, was only to deflect debate in the Arab public sphere away from the central issues, and to distract the public towards contents produced under the heresy of “the public want this”.

To fill the air of hundreds of satellite stations, Saudi money poured millions of dollars into producing or buying rights to entertainment programs that descended to occupy the media space with empty noise, first, and then closed this space to any serious attempts to produce meaningful media content.

In the last decade of the last century, media organizations of the Saudi regime spent large amounts of money on competition, cooking, fashion and spawning programs for singing and dancing stars, without any production that raises the social or cultural values of the recipient Arab audience.

Rather, these media projects emerged as if they were lying in wait for Arab awareness, and seeking to dilute the public space and pollute its soil, so that no valid seed would sprout in it.

With the advent of the electronic media era, the same money went to creating hundreds of media platforms, falsifying thousands of fake electronic accounts to flood the public electronic field with poisoned flies, spreading rumors and false news, and heralds a time of fraternity with its ally Israel.

With the outbreak of the Arab Spring revolutions, the “adversary” countries sought to create new leaders for public opinion, calling them “influencers”, opening electronic platforms for them, and entrusting them with the tasks of deluding public opinion and occupying it with side and marginal issues that relieved it of their daily and living concerns.

In conclusion, it is clear that what we are witnessing these days from targeted media contents is only a link in a series that started at least three decades ago, in which Arab countries spent millions of dollars to suffocate and surround Arab public opinion, so that no list exists for it.

What we see today is just a link in the series Ki Arab Awareness, and the engineering of the Arab audience, to turn into a herd or herds. The series of normalization, which we witness these days of successive episodes, is nothing but a passing burst preceded by waves of dilution, dumping, looting and robbery targeting our generations.

The danger of normalization series is no less than the enormity of cheap anesthesia and entertainment programs, and the latter are no less terrible than brainwashing programs with content that falsifies our heritage, falsifies our present, and drains our future. The current wave will pass, with the end of the last episode of this or that series, but it is more dangerous that the platforms for raising awareness and manipulating the masses will be extended.
