“Homeland once depicted Hamra Street in Beirut as some back alley shithole and funny enough they did the filming for that in Tel Aviv. Unsurprising that the writers are making Israeli slop now,” said another.

Disgusting.

Middle East Eye has reached out to Ronn and Apple TV for comment.

Which is to say, it’s very literally a one-sided piece. It sounds like a crap show from a crap show producer, but why it was green-lit and who did it are unknown.

Not a fan of judging things like this before anyone's even seen it.
I'll encourage anyone who wants to have an opinion on it, to watch the whole thing before saying anything about it.

Be sure to consume all your propaganda before you have an opinion.

Maybe we can also take into account the last 3 years when we watch it.

I couldn't really tell you that Apple TV itself is biased towards Israel in any way. The show Tehran shows both Mossad and the IRGC as pretty horrible organizations, with Mossad even being shown as slightly worse.

So without knowing anything about the show other than a few people involved and a trailer. For all we know, maybe the protagonist was actually betrayed by the IDF?

If we have literally no idea what the show's about, we can't really call it propaganda. You can watch it without immediately becoming a zionist, if you want to make up your own mind on what it is.

Absolutely!
One needs to understand the context of the media as well.
How else can one determine it is propaganda.

Middle East Eye commonly publishes hilariously anti-Kurdish propaganda, on top of entirely fabricated news. You trusted this news piece just because it confirmed your existing beliefs. You are not as resilient to propaganda as you think you are.

Middle East Eye is comically inconsistent and downright hypocritical in their perspective/messaging on issues outside of Palestine/Israel.
