Controversy
In October 2012, the Lebanese government reportedly planned to sue the producer of the event, confirming a fallacy on Hamra Street in Beirut, Lebanon. In particular, in the second episode of the second season of "Beirut Is Back", the streets are shown as narrow alleys with wandering militias linked to terrorist activity. In fact, the Lebanese government says it is a modern center of cafés and busy bars. Tourism Minister Fadi Abboud said he would take legal action against "lies", saying "Beirut is one of the safest cities in the world, safer than London or New York." Although Gideon Raff, co-creator of Gideon Raff, is Israel and thus prohibited from entering Lebanon, Abboud is also protesting the filming of episodes in Israel rather than in Lebanon.
Peter Beaumont of The Guardian writes of Muslim portrayals in the series: "High-profile Muslim living in the United States shares secrets: whether voluntarily or not, they are secret servants of Abu Nazir, al-Qaida terrorist leader. in other words, no matter whether they are rich, smart, quietly enjoying a western or interesting lifestyle: all should be suspected. "
Raff's work, including the homeland, has been criticized for their portrayal of Muslims. In an article for Salon , Laila Al-Arian called the show the most Islamophobic show on television, accusing him of portraying Muslims under a simple concept and as a monolithic group, the only one having only one purpose. is hurting Americans, and basing Brody's character in such a way as "pseudo psychology-that only audiences conditioned by tropical Islamophobia, anti-Arab in our media can find it consistent." He further criticized the show to fan the hysteria of Muslim "infiltration" in the United States; poor basic Arabic mastery; mistaken Islamic and Arab culture; and simplify the politics of militant Islamic organizations, for example by combining groups that in real life are rivals.
An article in the Atlantic by Jair Rosenberg challenged al-Arian criticism, arguing that they missed what made the show worthwhile, which disrespected militarism and US tactics in war on terror or black-and-white depictions against "good" Americans versus "bad" Muslims, but rather a show that challenges viewers' prejudices rather than affirming them. Similarly, Zach Novetsky argues that al-Arian criticism is a function of a show that has enough "depth and a layer for someone to construct a completely inaccurate interpretation of what is actually about the show."
Middle Eastern commentator Rachel Shabi argues that the Homeland "takes on US foreign policy in the Middle East is nothing more than defending the points of conversation from its supporters, even presenting US violence against civilians as" a necessary action in the pursuit of a far off crime worse ".
Middle East policy expert Fawaz Gerges told TheWrap, "The homeland is toxic to any attempt to bridge the gap between the two countries [the United States and Iran]".
The German news magazine Der Spiegel said the show depicts "a hysterical CIA agent in a hysterical state," and shows "paranoid tactics that delegitimize democracy" that the United States implies and surpasses in real life. , such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel's phone tapping.
In a 2014 report, human rights group Amnesty International found a relatively high level of popular support for torture in the US and the UK, in part because it honors the alleged torture found on popular English TV shows such as 24 and > Fatherland .
In October 2015, three graffiti artists were hired to add graffiti writings on the 5th season episode set (intended to depict a refugee camp on the Lebanese-Syrian border) to add "authenticity" to the screen, write a slogan instead of accusing racism.
