The Middle East is changing — quietly but dramatically.Syrian-born journalist and media entrepreneur Hayvi Bouzo joins Ariel Whitman on The Western Spirit to reveal how a new generation of Arabs is rejecting anti-Israel propaganda and seeing the Jewish state in a new light.Bouzo, founder of Yalla Productions and co-founder of ME24, explains how independent Arab media voices are challenging the dominance of Al Jazeera and other state-backed outlets — and how Arab youth are turning toward peace, openness, and cooperation with Israel.From the erosion of anti-Israel narratives to the rise of reform-minded women and creators across the region, Bouzo describes a seismic cultural shift the mainstream media refuses to cover.This is the story of a region awakening — and why Israel’s greatest future allies might come from the Arab world itself.👇 Watch the full conversation to learn:Why young Arabs no longer see Israel as the enemyHow Yalla Productions and ME24 are transforming Arab mediaWhy Al Jazeera and similar outlets are losing credibilityWhat the West gets wrong about the Middle EastWe’d like to thank the Ayn Rand Center Israel for their generous support.Our viewers are warmly invited to AYN RAND Con Tel Aviv — a special conference on December 19, exploring how ideas shape our actions and which ideas are essential for Israel’s victory.Chapters00:00 The Evolving Narrative in the Arab World11:00 Shifts in Public Opinion and the Younger Generation18:01 The Complex Situation in Syria28:05 Turkey's Role in the Middle East31:19 Hezbollah's Decline and Lebanon's Response36:54 Changing Perceptions of Hezbollah38:24 Western Media's Misrepresentation of the Arab World41:23 The Ideological Battle in Media45:43 Countering Extremism Through Media51:24 The Vision for a New Media LandscapeAYN RAND Con TLV – A New Path to VictoryJoin us in Tel Aviv and be part of a profound discussion on the power of philosophy in times of challenge.🎟 Special Offer: Enjoy a 20% discount on tickets when registering through the link below.Register here: https://tic.li/c/90051/9emk89qyjq
