The paradox of displaying Morocco’s full map on an Israeli channel versus its truncation on a Qatari channel

Recurring professional failure: when Qatari channels ignore Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara

The keen observer of media and political affairs cannot help but pause with bitterness at the systematic approach followed by certain media outlets associated with Qatar, which insist on every occasion that Morocco is mentioned to present its map as divided. This is never a mere typo or a technical glitch that could be rectified by a subsequent correction; it is a calculated media stance repeated and presented to the public as if it were the established truth.

This provocative handling strikes at the heart of the feelings of Moroccans and their territorial integrity, especially since it is repeated systematically, leaving no doubt about the intentions, thus turning the screen into a platform to entrench blatant geographical and political fallacies regarding a cause that is sacred to all the Moroccan people.

The great paradox: the supposed enemy recognizes Morocco’s territorial integrity

But the strangest thing, which raises astonishment for anyone following the details of the regional media landscape, is this shocking paradox in the way the Israeli media operates; on an Israeli channel, classified in general popular discourse as the “enemy,” the map of Morocco appeared complete, from Tangier to Lagouira, without any truncation or exclusion of the southern provinces.

This stark comparison places public opinion before bold questions: How can a channel belonging to an entity described as hostile respect the territorial integrity of the Kingdom and draw its true borders, while another channel that claims to defend the nation and its causes chooses to erase half the map and strike at Morocco in its territorial core?

Conclusion: the masks falling and the exposure of double standards

What the Qatari channel is doing by repeatedly publishing a divided map of Morocco can only be considered a continuation of a double-standard policy, which invalidates all claims of professional neutrality or support for just Arab causes. Conversely, the media reality proves day after day that actual actions and practices are what reveal the truth of positions, far from the ringing slogans intended for mass consumption.
