Lee Smith: Why Are Many Free Thinkers Falling for Iran–Hamas Information Warfare? | ATL:NOW

“During the 2006 Second Lebanon War, we had all sorts of Hezbollah propaganda being put through not only to the Arab states, but to the American media as well. And the American media was replaying this.”

Lee Smith is an investigative journalist, and author of “The Strong Horse: Power, Politics, and the Clash of Arab Civilizations.” He joined me to discuss how media manipulation is playing into the current Hamas–Israel war and shaping public opinion, as well as the roles that the Iranian regime and the U.S. government are playing.

“We have records of all sorts of meetings between high-ranking Iranian officials and the leaders of Hamas—Ismail Haniyeh—and the leaders of Hezbollah—Hassan Nasrallah—training operatives specifically for this assault … It’s very sick, and the reason that the Biden administration is concealing this is because the Biden administration still wants to restore the nuclear deal with Iran,” says Mr. Smith.
