"En Argentina hay un solo canal de noticias que no controla el sionismo israelí" | Sebastián Salgado

In a recent interview with Argentine journalist Sebastián Salgado, a well-known critic of the Middle East situation, the geopolitical conflicts involving Israel, Palestine, Iran, and other nations in the region were discussed. Salgado, renowned for his coverage of international affairs and his focus on the resistance of oppressed peoples, shared his perspective on the current situation and the growing tension in that part of the world. The conversation began with an analysis of Iran's latest military responses following the Israeli attacks in Syria and Lebanon. Salgado emphasized that the Israeli actions have generated an unprecedented military response from the Islamic Republic. "Today is the second response, but the first of this magnitude," he noted, referring to the Iranian military incursion. According to the journalist, this attack is not only a reprisal, but a declaration that "at this point we do not have the exact dimensions," which further increases tension in the region. The interview also focused on Israel's military might, its ability to maintain multiple combat fronts, and the unconditional support of Western powers. Salgado emphasized that “Israel is nothing more than a Western creation” and questioned whether the state is prepared to face simultaneous wars. In his words, Israel has used “religious and biblical devices to carry out a colonization process” and, since its founding, has been militarily supported by Western powers, especially in nuclear terms. A high point of the discussion was the confrontation with Hezbollah, where Salgado mentioned that the current conflict has crossed “red lines,” referring to the assassination of Hezbollah leader Seyed Hassan Nasrallah. The Lebanese resistance has responded with a ferocity that Israel had not anticipated. “Israeli soldiers are not wanting to enter Lebanon… it is the only army in the world that wears diapers,” Salgado stated ironically, underscoring the growing fragility of the Israeli military front against Hezbollah. In an interesting twist, the Argentine journalist linked the conflicts in the Middle East with the internal situation in Argentina. Salgado maintained that Zionism has a strong influence on Argentine politics and the media. According to his analysis, figures like Javier Milei are products of this influence. "Milei is a creation of Israeli Zionism to operate within the Argentine Republic," he stated emphatically, warning against Zionist interference in national politics. He also recalled how, in the history of Zionism, Argentina was considered a possible territory for the creation of the State of Israel, which, in his opinion, explains the country's strategic importance to this movement. Media control was also a central topic in the conversation. Salgado pointed out that in Argentina, virtually all major media outlets are controlled by Zionist interests: "In Argentina, there is only one news television channel that is not controlled by Israeli Zionism," referring to Extra TV, the only space where he himself collaborates and that offers an alternative perspective on international conflicts. The interview concluded with a worrying look toward the future. Salgado raised the possibility that this local conflict could escalate into a global confrontation. "We are probably witnessing what could be called a third world war," he warned, alluding to the arms races enveloping major powers. However, this new war, according to him, would not only be fought on the battlefield, but also in people's minds. For Salgado, cognitive warfare, waged through disinformation and media manipulation, is the most powerful tool that powers have in today's world. The interview with Sebastián Salgado was a reminder of the geopolitical complexities affecting the Middle East and their global impact. His words, critical and full of concrete data, invite reflection on the role of the media and political manipulation in times of conflict.
