from Orientalistics: Podcast on Language, Religion and Culture · host Farshid Delshad
The Stolen Identity: How Modern Arab Antisemitism Was ManufacturedThis episode explores how modern antisemitism in the Arab world grew out of a manufactured Arab nationalism—engineered by political and religious leaders to mask economic decline, corruption, and authoritarian rule. It examines how entire national identities across the region were tied to the destruction of Israel, creating what can be called a “stolen identity.” Through historical analysis and cultural insight, the discussion unpacks the political manipulations that shaped collective consciousness for over 70 years and reveals how hostility toward Jews became a diversion from internal failures.#ArabNationalism; #Antisemitism; #MiddleEastPolitics; #Israel; #IdentityCrisis; #Dictatorship; #Corruption; #OrientalisticsPodcast; #FalseNarratives; #JewishHistory; #ModernMiddleEast; #MediaPropaganda; #PoliticalManipulation; #StolenIdentity; #RegionalConflict; #HistoryNarratives; #ArabLeaders; #SocioPoliticalCrisis; #Zionism; #CriticalThinking
