    Israel is losing the propaganda war because they didn't see the alliance forming against them between the western far left and far right.

    Prior to the 10/7 attacks, it was clear that the far left and far right both hated Jews, but they also hated each other so much that it was unlikely they would push the same message on social media. In addition, they also reasoned that the far right also hated Arabs, so it was unlikely they would take up strongly for Hamas.

    Israel turned out to be incorrect. The Horseshoe theory finally came true, and social media was full of the loudest elements of both the left and right bashing Israel, pushing misinformation, and creating a phony genocide narrative.

    Upon realizing this, Hamas seized upon it, and started putting out all kinds of fake news regarding starvation, targeting of civilians, greatly exaggerated deaths, etc.

    The extreme retards ate it up and kept sharing it. Even the NY Times bought one of those fake starvation pics, and had to very quietly walk it back.

    Israel had no good response to this. They tried to reason with people, but you can't reason with extremists. They will just shout over you and accuse you of being a manipulator -- a trope successfully utilized against Israel by both the left and right.

    Israel's next tactic was to slow down their offensive, figuring that if they make it a humane war, people will change their minds. That also backfired, as it dragged the entire process, and it gave way to allegations that the humanitarian efforts were fake, and that this was all an excuse to extend the war and commit the genocide they always wanted.

    So, yes, unfortunately we are now living with the highest level of western anti-Semitism that I've seen in my lifetime.

    several quick things:


    1. regarding fake media, it is hardly one sided, e.g.,


    AI Overview
    While some Israeli soldiers and officials initially claimed that Hamas beheaded babies following the October 7, 2023, attack, official Israeli sources later stated they could not confirm this specific claim. The Israeli government ultimately acknowledged there was no evidence to support the allegation.
    The initial propagation of the claim
    Journalist's report: The claim began circulating on October 10 when a reporter for the Israeli news channel i24News stated that soldiers had described seeing babies with their heads cut off in Kfar Aza. The reporter later clarified that soldiers believed "40 babies/children were killed," which quickly became conflated with the beheading claim.
    Official statements:
    Following the initial media reports, a spokesperson for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office repeated the claim that babies and toddlers were found with their "heads decapitated".
    Some IDF spokespeople also initially repeated the beheading claim to news outlets, stating it was based on soldiers' accounts from the scene.
    International figures: US President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken also referenced reports of beheaded babies in the days following the attack. The White House later walked back Biden's comments, clarifying he had not seen confirmed evidence but was alluding to news reports.
    The claim is retracted


    2. has it not occurred to you that much of the sentiment could be rooted in our exhaustion with funding anyone else, much less other nation's weapons and wars and god knows what else, all while we run trillion dollar deficits and debt we can never repay?


    3. why have we launched bombs on iran (aren't finished doing so) and in the same 10 year span sent them a pallet of cash. i digress. they aren't bothering me. far more concerned with others in the world.


    4. do i get debited $7k for this post?

    I actually researched the whole "beheaded babies" thing, because the anti-Israel faction of leftists and Islamists were referencing it so much on social media, and I never had a clue what they were even referring to, as it wasn't something I ever saw in realtime, despite consuming a lot of media. Anyways, what actually happened is that a couple BRITISH tabloids picked up on the i24 reports, printed the story, then they pretty much immediately walked it back. And 99.9% of the people consuming media never even saw the actual allegations.

    But the anti-Israel faction has spent the last 2 years using this as some sort of all purpose gotcha to justify their own consumption of obviously fake propaganda they never walk back or disavow, no matter how obvious and bad faith the propaganda is.

    This is exactly what Biden said.

    "I never really thought that I would see, have confirmed, pictures of terrorists beheading children."

    And his own aides said they told him not to say anything about allegations of beheaded children, because they were unsubstantiated and already being walked back. But Biden, who didn't even know where he was half the time and was making a gaffe pretty much every time he tried to talk, went ahead and said it.

    And like I said, the anti-Israel bad faith left has been using this as some sort of gotcha for 2 years to justify fake propaganda they never walk back no matter the complete lack of evidence for most of their allegations.

    In the literal fog of war one allegation was made that had to be walked back (and it was pretty much immediately to the point very few people ever even saw it), and leftists and Islamists have had to go back to the well over and over and over referencing this to justify their nonstop fake bullshit, because that is all they have.

    neither of us are there, so neither of us know. we only know what the liars on both sides say. we can both do our best to ferret out the bs from the truth, but from across the world, not so much. my resp above was in resp to druff's ons-sided view of the propaganda. my bottom line, kill who they want, just don't ask us to pay for it or have your back, so think twice. we have more than our fair share of problems here.

    Bombshell!
    Former Israeli pm Ehud Barrak raped and beat Virginia Roberts Guiffre to a bloody pulp.
    Made her beg for her life, but the pedophile coldly told her it was simply part of her job.

    In her memoir, Giuffre said she first met the “Prime Minister” on Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands sometime in 2002, when she was just 18.

    She was ordered to escort him to a cabana, but the man made it clear as soon as they were alone that “he wanted violence.”

    “He repeatedly choked me until I lost consciousness and took pleasure in seeing me in fear for my life. Horrifically, the Prime Minister laughed when he hurt me and got more aroused when I begged him to stop. I emerged from the cabana bleeding from my mouth, vagina, and anus. For days, it hurt to breathe and to swallow,” Giuffre wrote.

    This is the reason the govt is shut down, this is who the Republicans are protecting. There's a thousand other victims and Trump wants to pardon Maxwell, that's about right.

    I haven't looked into her 'suicide' it's certainly convenient.

    Imagine the horror stories from Palestinian women and children.
    The Israelis rioted for the right to rape. barfff!

    The politician “raped me more savagely than anyone had before.”

    She immediately rushed to Epstein and begged him not to send her back to the Prime Minister.

    “I got down on my knees and pleaded with him. I don’t know if Epstein feared the man or if he owed him a favor, but he wouldn’t make any promises, saying coldly of the politician’s brutality, ‘You’ll get that sometimes,'” she continued.

    Here's a good article about the fake famine in Gaza: https://www.foxnews.com/world/gaza-f...rt-predictions


    Not only is the famine fake, but over 80% of the UN aid shipped into Gaza was stolen by armed Hamas terrorists. Here's a picture of one of the incidents:





    Remember all of the allegations against Israel lying about Hamas stealing the aid? Guess it was all true, huh?


    So let's review here:

    - Hamas abruptly attacked Israel with the goal to kill as many civilians as possible, and to kidnap others. They succeeded, kidnapping hundreds and killing 1200.

    - Hamas hid among their own civilians in order to get as many of them killed as possible by the Israeli response, thus planting the seeds for propaganda that Israel was committing genocide

    - Hamas consistently and wildly inflated death numbers, and often alleged that Israel targeted and killed "doctors" and "journalists", who in reality were Hamas terrorists

    - Hamas repeatedly posted pictures of emaciated children, alleging Israel was starving everyone as part of their genocide. These pictures were all debunked and shown to be the result of genetic disorders. NY Times had to walk back these claims after they stupidly posted one of these pictures as supposed evidence of starvation.

    - Hamas stole over 80% of the aid sent in by the UN, yet claimed Israel was either blocking it or stealing it themselves.

    - After Israel withdrew from certain areas of Gaza, Hamas dragged people out of their homes and executed them in the street. So much for caring about the lives of civilians, huh?

    - Hezbollah attacked Israel from the north just ONE DAY after the 10/7 attacks, in what was supposed to be a coordinated attack to overwhelm and destroy Israel.



    Given all of the information above, how can anyone believe Israel was the bad guy here?

    If people like Tellafriend don't want American tax dollars spent on assisting Israel, that's fine. I can respect that.

    But then just say that.

    Admit that Hamas is a collection of brutal religious fanatics who actually want a real genocide, while putting out false propaganda that it's Israel trying to exterminate them.

    You can concede that Israel isn't the bad guy in this situation, while at the same time saying, "We have enough problems at home, we shouldn't be sending them our money."

    I might not fully agree with you, but I can respect that position. That's just a difference of opinion regarding spending.


    Portraying Israel as evil genocidal maniacs just isn't accurate or fair. They're the victims in this whole thing. They're surrounded by religious nuts who want them dead. They are living under extremely different circumstances than we are here in the US, where our only "foreign invasion" issue involves too many illegal immigrants flooding into the US, and the drug cartels pushing their stuff over the border. We are not under existential threat. Israel is.

    It’s not like Nick Fuentes or Candace Owens or the vast majority of those speaking out against Israel short of college students really give a fuck about Palestinians. And college students generally will take up the cause of anyone darker than Brad Pitt. They are consistently bleeding hearts. If it was Native Americans, they’d be protesting. So I don’t view their activity last year as anything new.

    What’s new and what I told you was coming 5 years ago was that if the right continued to embrace the conspiracy shit, it would eventually backfire on Jews.

    Somewhere buried in that Covid thread I think, but a conversation we certainly had here, was me telling you about seeing this local guy over in PA and how it threw me that he was like the most popular guy in town and he had a large Swastika tattoo. Like a local biker business guy who paid for all the kids school lunch programs. He was Iraq vet. Nice guy in general to me because I’m basically an Aryan poster guy at first glance and it’s not like I have any desire to talk politics with a bunch of hillbillies. But I’m a people watcher.

    I just thought about the difference between then and my childhood. Like a guy could finance the school lunch program and if he had Nazi tattoos, it would have been parents saying get him the fuck away from my kids. And then the Facebook shit I’d see circulate. That mixture of conspiracy that if you were smart, could see it was essentially blaming Jews. Most didn’t take it that way because they’re dumb, but I knew someone would eventually take them that direction.

    You handwaved it away at the time like always. Some rural dude in PA wasn’t indicative of any larger movement according to you and I privately laughed at your naïveté. As if you had a better idea of who exactly MAGA was when I live surrounded by them while you interact with them on the internet. Like being in the LA suburbs gives you a feel.

    Think of how we’d speak if we were having dinner in Vegas and saw a bunch of black kids creating drama. We’d look at each other, roll our eyes, and if we couldn’t be overheard, would probably say let’s get the fuck out of here and away from these n-words. But we wouldn’t if there was a black guy at the table we like. Being a Jew, you aren’t hearing how people talk now. I’m not saying it’s as prevalent as disgust with black culture, but it’s something I never heard at 30 in my life. People bitching about Jews. Now it’s fairly common. And it’s not like I’m around liberals. No leftist liberals at all.

    You like to think you’re the average Republican and all these nut jobs just help you win elections.

    No, It’s their party and you just help them win elections. You’re their black vote, not vice versa.

    This is like a perfect storm of bad shit as far as feelings towards Jews go. The tipping point that made it bipartisan and populist was Epstein/Iran. That’s when it went from fringe to mainstream and public sentiment shifted largely. It was long coming but that was the moment it all came together.

    I have no idea who sponsored Epstein, but it sure seems likely Jews were involved. Following it up and at almost the exact moment bombing Iran was bad optics. Then the Bondi and Patel idiocy where they pretended they didn’t just act like the Epstein file release was the biggest issue facing America for years and playing dumb.

    It made Trump look beholden to Jews at a time he was clearly covering up the Epstein files for whatever reason. That was a giant opening.


    Their continued missteps since just make it worse. As much as you’d like America First and Israel first to be complimentary, it isn’t.


    Like yes buy social media companies and attempt to sway opinion. Thats smart. Announcing you’re doing it is idiotic.

    I have always valued Jewish people because of their contributions to science and the world. I genuinely like your people. In a world getting dumber by the day, I am for more smart people. That they’re a little pushy and neurotic and try to hustle me occasionally isn’t some deal breaker. The good outweighs the bad.

    But when I see Netanyahu I don’t see a smart guy. I listen to him and if he was ever smart, that time has passed.

    I get Jews didn’t have a lot of good options, but tying themselves to MAGA and evangelicals was pure idiocy. The entire movement is an anti-intellectual movement. They hate science. They hate education. They claim to love Jesus while being the ugliest souls alive. Well they don’t forget your people killed him.


    I grew up among evangelicals. They love the land. That’s distinctly different than loving the people on that land they viewed as damned if they don’t convert. Like I respect Jewish achievement. Find a MAGA person who could even name those achievements.

    And when your biggest contributions to the world are science and medicine and education, joining up with the people who don’t value those things is idiocy.


    Just sit back and think how dumb it is to join a movement of evangelicals and largely uneducated people when your main contributions are in the hard sciences. Imagine joining the chorus who rail against the MSM when you owned the fucking MSM.

    Now some kid on the internet is viewed 100x more and more influential than the networks you owned. Imagine supporting MAGA who blames everything on Hollywood when you ran Hollywood. Enjoy those Kirk Cameron movies directed by Mel Gibson.

    A secular progressive culture that values education and science and the arts, all areas where Jews excel, was what provided decades of prosperity free of anti-semitism.

    Now you’re tied to retards who don’t value any of that. And our debt is ballooning. It’s the tipping point. And everyone knows where it went sideways. The Middle East wars and bank bailouts. The last place you want people looking if you’re a Jew.

    Muslim chants of death to America is and has always been entirely about our support of Israel. Their way of life isn’t western. They’d view us as immoral demons, but what Stone Age people think is irrelevant. They aren’t a threat. They never do 9/11 if they don’t hate us because we support Israel. If we said fuck Israel tomorrow they’d build statues of Trump all over the Middle East and he’d be second to Mohammed.

    So the we need Israel as some foothold in the Middle East isn’t a real argument when support of Israel is the only reason we need a foothold in the Middle East. Give Israel up and they love us.

    You like to think all those Jews who excelled in America post WW2 and aligned themselves with Democrats were dumb. They weren’t the dumb ones. Those were people who had recently seen what happens when the fascist right seizes control. Those are Jews who saw the whole playing field and made a smart choice and realized a secular culture that values science and education would allow them to flourish with their natural skills.

    But then some Jews started thinking let’s join with the morons who hate that they didn’t finish school and have shit jobs, who hate science, who hate medicine up until they need it, who love to sue when schools become more secular and start removing the 10 commandments and other assorted fairy tales. But those are the smart Jews to you.

    It’s pretty clear you’re going to keep posting whatabouts right up until you have a moment of clarity about who you’re in bed with.

    I dont think that is fair. When Trump took over the Republican Party he made it clear you are either a sycophant or you are the enemy. And Trump goes after his perceived enemies. And given the Democrat Party's forays into radical left wing anti-Zionism, Islamism and socialism (Elizabeth Warren is still tweeting about how we need to break up big tech) the American Jewish community couldn't really afford to make Trump an enemy on top of this.

    I dont think Israel, Jews or more generally the technocrat business elite (including a lot of non Jews) really had a better option than aligning with Trump the way partisan politics have polarized. I agree with you that playing footsie with Evangelicals and more generally the racist, anti-semitic, low human capital right is going to work out long term; but I am not sure there was a lot of better options.

    Also, lets be frank. They are higher IQ and not as racist, stupid or poor; but the religious Jewish right is as wacky as the Evangelical right when it comes to Zionism and greater Israel.

    "Portraying Israel as evil genocidal maniacs just isn't accurate or fair."

    That's exacly what they are, what's not fair is the generations of Palestinians who've been trapped, terrorized humiliated raped, dispossed and now if they're lucky they'll die in a missile strike.c. If they're unlucky they'll be slowly starved til they're permanantly damaged or death.
    They're trapped, can't leave even if they wanted. For decades, trapped!

    But then just say that.

    Admit that Hamas is a collection of brutal religious fanatics who actually want a real genocide, while putting out false propaganda that it's Israel trying to exterminate them.

    You can concede that Israel isn't the bad guy in this situation, while at the same time saying, "We have enough problems at home, we shouldn't be sending them our money."

    I might not fully agree with you, but I can respect that position. That's just a difference of opinion regarding spending.


    Portraying Israel as evil genocidal maniacs just isn't accurate or fair. They're the victims in this whole thing. They're surrounded by religious nuts who want them dead. They are living under extremely different circumstances than we are here in the US, where our only "foreign invasion" issue involves too many illegal immigrants flooding into the US, and the drug cartels pushing their stuff over the border. We are not under existential threat. Israel is.

    It’s not like Nick Fuentes or Candace Owens or the vast majority of those speaking out against Israel short of college students really give a fuck about Palestinians. And college students generally will take up the cause of anyone darker than Brad Pitt. They are consistently bleeding hearts. If it was Native Americans, they’d be protesting. So I don’t view their activity last year as anything new.

    What’s new and what I told you was coming 5 years ago was that if the right continued to embrace the conspiracy shit, it would eventually backfire on Jews.

    Somewhere buried in that Covid thread I think, but a conversation we certainly had here, was me telling you about seeing this local guy over in PA and how it threw me that he was like the most popular guy in town and he had a large Swastika tattoo. Like a local biker business guy who paid for all the kids school lunch programs. He was Iraq vet. Nice guy in general to me because I’m basically an Aryan poster guy at first glance and it’s not like I have any desire to talk politics with a bunch of hillbillies. But I’m a people watcher.

    I just thought about the difference between then and my childhood. Like a guy could finance the school lunch program and if he had Nazi tattoos, it would have been parents saying get him the fuck away from my kids. And then the Facebook shit I’d see circulate. That mixture of conspiracy that if you were smart, could see it was essentially blaming Jews. Most didn’t take it that way because they’re dumb, but I knew someone would eventually take them that direction.

    You handwaved it away at the time like always. Some rural dude in PA wasn’t indicative of any larger movement according to you and I privately laughed at your naïveté. As if you had a better idea of who exactly MAGA was when I live surrounded by them while you interact with them on the internet. Like being in the LA suburbs gives you a feel.

    Think of how we’d speak if we were having dinner in Vegas and saw a bunch of black kids creating drama. We’d look at each other, roll our eyes, and if we couldn’t be overheard, would probably say let’s get the fuck out of here and away from these n-words. But we wouldn’t if there was a black guy at the table we like. Being a Jew, you aren’t hearing how people talk now. I’m not saying it’s as prevalent as disgust with black culture, but it’s something I never heard at 30 in my life. People bitching about Jews. Now it’s fairly common. And it’s not like I’m around liberals. No leftist liberals at all.

    You like to think you’re the average Republican and all these nut jobs just help you win elections.

    No, It’s their party and you just help them win elections. You’re their black vote, not vice versa.

    This is like a perfect storm of bad shit as far as feelings towards Jews go. The tipping point that made it bipartisan and populist was Epstein/Iran. That’s when it went from fringe to mainstream and public sentiment shifted largely. It was long coming but that was the moment it all came together.

    I have no idea who sponsored Epstein, but it sure seems likely Jews were involved. Following it up and at almost the exact moment bombing Iran was bad optics. Then the Bondi and Patel idiocy where they pretended they didn’t just act like the Epstein file release was the biggest issue facing America for years and playing dumb.

    It made Trump look beholden to Jews at a time he was clearly covering up the Epstein files for whatever reason. That was a giant opening.

    I'm afraid there are some inaccuracies in what you wrote above.

    Jews aligned with the Democratic Party because they were once in the lower class of this nation. The Jewish immigrants of the early 1900s largely toiled in the factories and other shit jobs, for low pay and often dangerous conditions. Democrats at the time were supportive of workers rights, safety regulations, and advocating for the poor. The choice for the Jews was obvious, especially given that there was a fair amount of anti-Semitism at the time within the Republican Party, and this was absent from the Democrats. Had I grown up in the early 1900s under such circumstances, I likely would also have chosen to be a Democrat.

    Jews eventually rose up to become successful and many of them wealthy due to a culture stressing education, smart monetary decisions (insert joke here), and valuing of establishing careers.

    Rather than join the more rich-people-friendly Republicans once successful, Jews remained aligned with the Democratic Party partially due to family influence (you are far more likely to take on the politics of your parents), and partially due to a feeling of obligation to help the less fortunate. Jews remembered that they were once part of the "less fortunate" demographics in this country.

    Unfortunately, over time the Democratic Party became stronger on left wing social policy, as well as the embrace of communist and socialist values. Nothing about this sort of thing aligns itself with Jewish culture, but given their longtime family histories as Democrats, many Jews became brainwashed that these were the correct positions to take. It's really like any partisan nowadays. The party tells them how they should feel about a long list of subjects, and they parrot that almost 100%.

    For decades I told fellow Jews to get into the present. It wasn't 1920 anymore, and they weren't working 12-hour days in the factories. These were successful professionals who were voting to tax themselves at confiscatory rates, supporting policy which gave hardened criminals chance after chance, and searching for victim classes rather than emphasizing unity.

    This has given rise to the bizarre phenomenon of the self-hating Jew. It's one thing for a goy like you or Tellafriend to be critical of Israel. But to be Jewish and barely affected by watching the Hamas barbarians slaughter your own people, and then repeat phony "genocide" propaganda... it's just insane. Any Jew knows how much the radical Muslims hate us and want us dead. These Jews allowed their politics to fuel an obsession to support the perceived brown underdogs over the perceived white oppressors. This overruled their Jewish identity. They were willfully ignorant to the history of Muslim terrorists and their overtly stated desires to murder all Jews. It became an oppressed-versus-oppressor war in their twisted minds.



    I can tell you that, until October 2023, I was not concerned about right wing anti-Semitism. It was isolated in small pockets, and where it existed it was more snide remarks behind the scenes rather than any real confrontation or discrimination.

    Over the past two years, the ugly Jew hatred has spiked by orders of magnitude, for the reasons I stated in one of my other recent posts. This occurred on BOTH the left and right. You are acting as if I am breaking bread with a party full of uneducated rubes who hate and resent my people, and are eschewing the tolerant intellectuals who want to welcome me with open arms.

    That's not true. The left is also full of rabid anti-Semites. They are just better at hiding it, and couching it in language of, "We love the Jewish people, and just hate the Israeli government." It's a lie. That's why none of these "caring about human life" lefties had a cross word to say about Hamas on October 7, 2023 (or any time since). They can't say it out loud, but they all felt that these filthy Jews had it coming.

    There's a reason that open anti-Semites like Ilhan Omar have become stars in the Democratic Party, with almost zero intra-party pushback against her Jew hatred.

    There's a reason why universities allowed pro-Hamas demonstrators to disrupt campuses for months on end, and for Jewish students to be harassed.

    There's a reason why a closeted, arm flapping weirdo Tim Walz like was selected as Kamala's VP, instead of popular Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. Dems didn't need more votes in Minnesota, but definitely needed them in PA. However, there was real concern within the Democratic Party that a large portion of their base might stay home if a dirty Jew was on the ticket.

    I did dismiss in 2020 the threat of white supremacy and right wing Jew hatred. At the time, it was not prominent enough to be a real threat. After 10/7, this changed because the right wing anti-Semites had their moment to stoke Jew hatred, and they discovered an unexpected ally in the far left. The loud nutjobs from both sides found common ground in Jew bashing, and you see the results.

    It seems you believe that one day I will come to realize I made a mistake by allying myself with a party which is increasingly anti-Semitic. However, if I were to switch to the other side, I would encounter the exact same thing, just presented in a different way.

    If I were in college right now, I'd feel a hell of a lot more comfortable saying "I'm Jewish and a big supporter of Israel" at a College Republicans meeting than I would in a meeting with any left wing groups. Do you disagree?
