Between Samson and CNN...Whose narrative wins?

and you may know that the one who said it is called Samson, and this is true. Perhaps you think that he is a popular, traditional Arab hero like Antara or Al-Hayy bin Yaqzan, but you are wrong.

This mighty Samson is Samson the son of Manoah. This is a Hebrew Biblical character. According to the Old Testament, especially the Book of Judges, this Samson the son of Manoah is one of the Jewish judges, and the judge for the Jews at this time is their religious ruler. And according to the Biblical narrative, after many of the children of Israel returned to Worshiping idols, God gave the Palestinian people power over them at the expense of that story, so they took their land, so God sent this Samson and gave him supernatural power so that he would never shave his hair. When he grew up, he went to the Palestinian cities, but he loved a Palestinian girl and married her, but on the wedding day he said a riddle to thirty Palestinian men, but they became angry about that, especially since the riddle was difficult, so he killed them all. So the Palestinians decided to take his wife and marry er to someone else, so he burned all their farms.

The Palestinians became angry again and burned his wife’s house and her family. In response, Samson decided to slaughter the largest number of Palestinians

Twenty years after he became a judge over the Jews, Samson went to Gaza to a prostitute named Delilah, and he loved her. They agreed with her that she would know the secret of his strength, and in fact she knew that, namely his hair, so she shaved his hair and he became powerless. They were able to capture him and chain him in one of their temples, so they prayed to God to give him his strength again to take revenge on him. Even the temple was demolished against him and them, and this is what happened

Here he said his famous word against me and my enemies, O Lord

Samson died, and a large number of the Palestinians who were gathering in the temple died with him

This is a summary of this story as mentioned in the Old Testament, and as you have noticed, of course, it is one of the biblical narratives that root the causes of hostility between the children of Israel and the Palestinian Arabs who lived in this place, and how they turned this story, which shows the Palestinians as devils, into an Arab and even international heritage story.

This Samson became a popular hero, and throughout history people bear witness to his heroism, even though, as them story says, he shed the blood of thousands of people.

This shows how the Israelis have, over time, found marketing for their stories and visions of events. Therefore, it is not very surprising that the international media has fully embraced the Israeli story of current events

If what international channels such as CNN, the BBC, and others are doing may be intentional or due to the power of the Israeli propaganda machine, then beware that you may be attracted by this propaganda machine through social media from where you are not aware, And you may unwittingly adopt its version of events without realizing it. Even if it is not completely, they may have achieved great achievement, even if partial

Do not be surprised by what I say, for you and your fathers and grandfathers have adopted their story without realizing it, as happened in the story of the mighty Samson.
