In 2018, the channel faced criticism for airing a satirical song that mocked Syrian refugees, suggesting they had become the majority and made Lebanese feel like strangers in their own country. In response, Syrians released two songs condemning racism and highlighting the involvement of various Lebanese political powers in Syria.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_951\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-951\" style=\"width: 770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-951\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Banner-in-Lebanon-against-racism.jpeg\" alt=\"Banner in Lebanon against racism\" width=\"770\" height=\"438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Banner-in-Lebanon-against-racism.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Banner-in-Lebanon-against-racism-300x171.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Banner-in-Lebanon-against-racism-768x437.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Banner-in-Lebanon-against-racism-696x396.jpeg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-951\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Banner in Lebanon against racism<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Moreover, in July 2022, another Al-Jadeed anchor, Dalia Ahmed, faced backlash for her comments about Syrian refugees.
