Propaganda, Iran, and the next war - a child’s perspective

May 22, 2008

Lees hier hoe iemand al jong geïndoctrineerd raakte - door het Jeugdjournaal.

All through the nineteen eighties, as far as I remember, there was news on this Jeugdjournaal now and then about the proceedings in the Iran-Iraq war. This so-called First Gulf War was a dreadful, very dirty business, that was started by Iraq.

It was started by Iraq, but I don’t remember having been told that by the Jeugdjournaal. Maybe it was told, maybe it was not. In any case the profound and lasting impression I got as a kid, watching the coverage of the first Gulf War, was that obviously, Iraq must be the good guys, and Iran must be the bad guys. That was the main feeling I remember having, when I think back of something I hope most kids do not remember at all from watching the Jeugdjournaal, the first Gulf War.
