Lies of Al Arabiya Die Stillborn… While History Lives in the Name of Algeria
✍️ BY: Mohamed Kehlouche
Algiers – September 2025 – It is no longer surprising to witness certain satellite channels transform into mere platforms for settling political scores. Yet when the game descends to the level of tampering with the collective memory of the Arab nation by resurrecting the voice of the late Gamal Abdel Nasser against Algeria, it signals an unprecedented decline in the ethics of media practice.
What Al Arabiya has done—broadcasting a dubious clip falsely attributed to Abdel Nasser—is not a professional lapse, but a deliberate act within a calculated agenda aimed squarely at undermining Algeria and its principled stances.
Although the video is unequivocally fabricated, the timing of its release and the context in which it was aired cannot be separated from an intentional attempt to tarnish Algeria’s image and distort its historic and ongoing role in championing just causes, foremost among them the Palestinian struggle.
From Journalism to Disinformation
For years, Al Arabiya has scarcely concealed its alignment with narratives serving well-known political interests in the region. But the recent episode of the falsified video reveals that the present target is Algeria itself—through an orchestrated attempt to erode its historical legacy and present it in a negative light before Arab public opinion. Such a cheap tactic serves neither truth nor professionalism; it merely exposes the channel’s political motivations.
Manipulating Historical Icons
Gamal Abdel Nasser is not merely a former Egyptian president; he is a symbol of Arab liberation and one of the most ardent supporters of the Algerian revolution. Nasser’s Egypt was among the first to stand with Algeria in its anti-colonial struggle against France. To weaponize his voice today against Algeria is not only an act of deception, but also an assault on the collective memory of the Arab world—a grotesque attempt to falsify indelible historical truths.
Algeria: Memory of Revolution, Reference of Struggle
Algeria, the land of over a million and a half martyrs, did not limit itself to its own liberation. It became a sanctuary for liberation movements across Africa, Asia, and Latin America. From Cuba in the far west to Vietnam in the far east, the name of Algeria resonated as a country that offered both material and political support to global revolutionaries.
This was never political opportunism, but a conviction deeply rooted in Algeria’s revolutionary ethos: freedom is indivisible, and Algerian independence would remain incomplete unless other peoples, too, achieved their own liberation.
Algeria in Nasser’s Eyes: From 1967 to 1973
For Abdel Nasser, Algeria was never merely a fraternal nation emerging from colonial domination; it was the embodiment of revolutionary will and unwavering solidarity with Arab causes.
In the wake of the 1967 defeat, as Nasser addressed his people and the wider Arab nation to acknowledge military setback and announce the era of steadfastness, he singled out Algeria under Houari Boumédiène for its immediate support. Algeria was the first to offer fighter jets and soldiers, placing its military capabilities at Egypt’s disposal. This was not symbolic solidarity but concrete action: squadrons of MiGs, an armored battalion, and hundreds of troops dispatched to the Egyptian front.
For Nasser, Algeria’s stance was proof that its revolution was not confined to its own borders—it carried the identity of the entire Arab nation. That solidarity in 1967 foreshadowed an even greater role during the October 1973 War, when Algeria once again contributed militarily, financially, and politically to Egypt and Syria. Its commitment was not circumstantial or emotional but strategic and enduring.
Nasser’s statements on Algeria are not mere historical footnotes—they are irrefutable testimony that authentic Arab solidarity, rooted in the will of the people, leaves an imprint no defeat or disinformation campaign can erase.
Palestine: The Central Cause
Since independence, Algeria has upheld Palestine as the central cause of the Arab nation, famously declaring, “With Palestine, right or wrong.” It hosted the leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organization and provided material and diplomatic backing. In fact, the proclamation of the State of Palestine in 1988 took place on Algerian soil—a testament to the profound historic bond between the two peoples.
To this day, Algeria has remained unwavering: it rejects normalization and defends the Palestinian people’s right to statehood with Jerusalem as its capital.
The Present as Continuation of the Past
Today, as Algeria faces a storm of hostile media campaigns, it is not merely defending its image, but reaffirming a deeper principle: some nations are not for sale, not for barter, and not for compromise. In an era of political capitulation and journalistic servitude, Algeria stands as a free voice reminding the world that justice is measured not by power, but by history and legitimacy.
Algeria’s position has not wavered. On Africa, it has consistently advocated for peace and fairness. On the international stage, it remains a staunch defender of peoples’ right to self-determination. On Palestine, it has emerged as the last Arab bastion rejecting normalization and refusing to compromise on immutable principles. Precisely for this reason, it becomes the target of relentless smear campaigns.
The deception perpetrated by Al Arabiya is not an isolated blunder—it is a chapter in a broader strategy to undermine Algeria and its principled policies. Yet history cannot be falsified by editing tricks, nor can the collective memory of nations be erased by a spurious clip.
Algeria, which once stood with Egypt in war, with Palestine in its struggle, and with liberation movements across the globe, will continue to embody resistance to media and political extortion. Algeria has never been a marginal state; it has always been the conscience of the Arab world and its last bastion in the defense of just causes.
By attempting—and failing—to discredit Algeria, Al Arabiya has not undermined Algeria’s image but rather destroyed what remained of its own credibility. Nations built on blood and sacrifice cannot be shaken by fabricated videos or slanderous narratives. The Algeria that championed just causes yesterday will remain their custodian today and tomorrow.
And if certain media mouthpieces believe they can manipulate history, they should know that the people remember: Algeria is not the foe of the Arab nation, but its final fortress against collapse.
