Middle East In Less Than Five Minutes

In this episode of Middle East In Less Than Five Minutes, Igal dives into how major media outlets like Reuters, CNN, BBC, and more twisted the story of Hezbollah's military chief Haytham Ali Tabatabai after Israel's strike eliminated him. From "military leader" to "vile attack," see the whitewashing in action—and why it matters for understanding media bias in the Israel-Hezbollah conflict.

You want to understand how the entire Palestinian narrative works? Here’s the perfect case study — and it all starts with a moment that never even existed.

Shalom everyone — I’m Igal, and this is Middle East In Less Than Five Minutes.

Let’s talk about that Miss Universe clip. The one where Miss Israel, Melanie Shiraz, supposedly “glared” at Miss Palestine. The hate-filled comments, the threats, the headlines screaming:

“Death stare!”

“...

You ever read a comment so confidently wrong that you don’t know whether to laugh… or send the person a history book and a helmet?

Yeah. That was me today, reading a comment on Medium from an “expert” explaining Jewish identity to actual Jews. Apparently, according to him, 90% of Jews don’t know their own history, “Zionism isn’t real,” and my understanding of Jewish indigenuity “comes from a lower back part of my my anatomy.”

Shalom...

Let me ask you a brutal, uncomfortable question: How do you know the UN is no longer a human rights organization… but a political machine? When the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women looks straight at footage of raped, mutilated Jewish women — and responds: “No independent investigation found rape took place on October 7.”

Shalom everyone — I’m Igal, and this is Middle East In Less Than Five Minutes.

And yes… today we’re...

You know what scares me most? Not the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan — but how quietly it’s been unfolding while the West sleeps with its eyes open.

Yeah. That’s the West right now. Sleeping. Daydreaming.  And the alarm clock? It’s coming from the people who escaped the Muslim Brotherhood — not from think-tanks, not from politicians, but from insiders who lived it, suffered under it, and watched it swallow entire countries.

Shalom everyon...

You know those moments when you actually exhale and think, “Wow… someone in the system finally got it right”? Yeah — that’s me today. Because, for the first time ever, a British court just ruled that criticising Islam — calling it “backward,” “problematic,” even calling the Prophet Mohammed a “monster” — is legally protected speech.

Protected. Not “hate speech.” Not “Islamophobia.” Protected under the Equality Act. And honestly, I d...

Every time someone screams “Free Palestine,” they eventually bring up the Nakba.

They’ll tell you about 750,000 Arabs “ethnically cleansed” by Jews in 1948 — families forced out, villages destroyed, tragedy eternal. Sounds very convincing. Emotional. And heartbreaking. Except… it’s not the full story. It’s a weaponized myth — and it’s been used for 75 years to paint Jews as villains and rewrite history.

Shalom everyone, I’m Igal, and...

Dive into this hard-hitting episode where we unravel the tangled web of media bias in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
