Combat has many forms and manifestations leading to various socio-cultural and political changes in society. Using several virtual and urban landscapes in Iran, Iraq, and Israel/Palestine as main case studies, I explore the relationship between memory and violence in the 21st century Middle East to argue that there has been what I call a "memory-centric warfare" waged against the region by the United States' neoliberal military complex and its allies, which is producing, preserving and perpetuating animosity and war. Virtual tactics have been developed to stir public opinion, train soldiers, combat enemy, and even heal veterans post-war that challenge some traditional notions, concepts, and practices of war in recent decades and increasingly impact the way wars are waged, perceived, and resisted. The boundary-less conditions of citizenship and virtual communication platforms also allow for new forms of political mobilization and remote manipulations to impact societies. Highlighting the role of various media, films, and social media, I argue that the virtual landscapes of memory are used to achieve militarized neoliberal hegemony. Investigating multiple prominent memorials in both urban and virtual environments, I demonstrate how memories are manufactured and injected into society. Finally, I demonstrate how new conceptions of the past are generated to achieve the consent of the masses to further indoctrinate, legitimize, and disseminate the ideas and values of dominant ideological, economic, and military leaders through forged memories.
