Better known to many through her Instagram account @leb.historian which has gained a large audience especially since Lebanon's 17 October Revolution, Chloe Kattar joins us on This Is Not a Watermelon for a special podcast episode to contextualize the current Israeli war on Lebanon. We focus on Israeli propaganda and discuss Zionist expansionist agenda and the ways in which these imperial narratives are disseminated.

She dismantles vague terms weaponized by the the Israeli occupation such as "Hezbollah Infrastructure", clarifies the ambiguities of the "Dahiyeh Doctrine", and explains the impact of drones and psychological warfare on a civilian population.This episode was recorded on Tuesday October 22nd, 4:30pm Beirut Time. 0:00 Introduction 1:16 Information Wars & Israeli Propaganda 8:40 Israeli Messaging & Narratives to Western Audiences 11:32 Chronology of the War in Lebanon 22:05 Zionist Agenda in Lebanon 24:51 Awareness in the West 27:09 Relating Palestine & Lebanon 32:07 The "Dahiyeh Doctrine"38:19 Drones & Psychological Warfare 41:32 Resource Recommendations Chloe Kattar is a research fellow in history at Darwin College, at the University of Cambridge.
