التربية الوطنية في ظل الهجمات الإعلامية

Serious attacks are launched almost every year via social media against our Saudi heritage and our domestic and foreign policies. It doesn't matter who is behind them, but what matters is intensifying our response strategy and not remaining silent out of superiority, brotherhood, or any other calls.

A study published in The Times showed that half of Generation Z - aged between 18 and 27 - believe that the people of Britain are racist, and only one-tenth of them are willing to risk their lives to defend their British nation in war. In Britain, national pride is on the verge of disappearing due to accusations of racism and other charges through the media and in their classrooms.

Therefore, we must confront media attacks and respond to claims that question the contributions of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to national issues and deny the historically documented role of its government. The solution is not to rise above them, but to refute the essence of their lies, alongside disarming their moral arguments and exposing the leaders of these platforms and revealing their motives, while not harming the cultures of other peoples or using degrading language.

Broadcasting more national songs and raising national slogans and images, especially as this attack coincides with the timing of Hajj and the presence of all segments of the Islamic nation in our hospitality.

Rational media confrontation, not silence, is our way to increase the awareness of our young generations and instill national pride in their hearts; because they are the most important in this equation, not convincing other parties and provoking them.
