“Pro-Palestine”, Prejudice and Propaganda

The Tools of Zionism

Deconstructing Distortion: Using Our Intellectual Weapons

Listening carefully is central to effective deconstruction. We live in a time where advertising companies hire psychologists in order to utilize their understanding of consumer psychology and motivations, and where a single phrase or meme on social media can go viral within seconds – an idea spreads like wildfire before our rational brain can engage.

If we develop the habit of perpetually looking below the surface, we can see many of these effects as they predictably unfold, yet in a hectic world of information overload, we tend instead to absorb and internalise sometimes against our better judgement.

Today, the multiplicity of tools available to craft images and manipulate visual effects is manifold and diverse and our guard is concomitantly at its lowest, our filters at their weakest and our critical faculties overloaded; we are effectively at the whims of advertising and its sister, propaganda.

“Israel” is a state that well recognizes the importance and impact of good advertising and of leveraging all the propagandic tools available, as well as having the accompanying big budget to harness these tools to its ends. It has always been eggshell “sensitive” to social media effects (the hair trigger paranoia of the true narcissist), as we know from its ongoing statements on social media as well as its recent drive to recruit “influencers” for inordinate sums, to disseminate its messages.

It is particularly concerned about the younger generation, whom it sees slipping from its nefarious grasp as they see with their own eyes, the atrocities being inflicted on the civilian population of Gaza which is around 50% children. These young people have seen raw footage of massacre upon massacre, that no amount of propaganda can attenuate.

Even so, much of the discussion around this is still subject to distortion and propaganda in a Zionist dominated media with its atmosphere of mass censorship and silencing of pro-Palestinian voices. Amidst all this it is useful to be alert to propagandic techniques.

Words such as “mob” and the “Pro-Palestinian crowd” are consciously deployed to misdirect us and to rapidly paint an image in our minds of unruly, angry and violent groups of people – the actual facts are that massive demonstrations of up to half a million people have been disproportionately peaceful – quite a feat.

Even the term “Pro-Palestinian” is frequently misused and applied to actual Palestinians. We don’t call English people pro-English or Italians “pro-Italian”. This is a very conscious attempt to conflate a national identity with an ideological stance and thus justify racist attitudes of censorship and discrimination towards it.

The mainstream Western media has broadcast and amplified these distortions – elliptical explanations, critical omissions, even use of active over passive that somehow airbrushes out the perpetrator (“Israeli’s” are killed but Palestinians just “die”) are well documented strategies. It behoves us to be aware of them – in every context.

Small white shrouds of Palestinian babies and children, the targets of Zionist hate.

Zionism: Cohesive Strategy vs Diffuse Humanitarian

I refer to Zionists as an “entity” because they are much more coordinated and strategic than “pro-Palestinians”.

The reasons for this are that those who stand with Palestine are an incredibly diverse group of people who have in common compassion, principles, a hatred of injustice, and just a sense of shared humanity that rightly hates to see civilians and children being brutally slaughtered.

The Zionist entity on the other hand is a co-ordinated group, with common strategies as well as a desperate need to stand with power - and the kind of inner weakness that compels them to support brute force and the dominant power dynamic.

Hence they are commonly seen perpetuating propaganda that they know is false yet supports their ultimate agenda - with dishonesty as no barrier to a morally bankrupt ideology that stands with apartheid, ethnic cleansing and the mass slaughter of children. They know exactly what they are doing – and they proceed to do it.

To be clear – what is happening in Palestine is a ruthless colonial land grab, common thievery and murder in the naked pursuit of resources at a time where the earth is overtaxed and the demands of an ever expanding population far exceed its ability to provide for them.

Resource control and exploitation is behind “Israel’s” ongoing annexation of Palestinian land as well as its settlement expansion, restricting Palestinians from using their own natural resources such as natural gas and water, whilst driving its own economy at their expense and attempting to drive them off their land whether by genocide or forcible transfer.

However, the problem of Jewish supremacy is very real; in fact Jewish exceptionalism and entitlement is what constitutes Zionism and drives many Jews to feel justified in killing Palestinians; as well, it allows Christian or atheist Zionists to promote their agenda of removing any Holocaust guilt from themselves and projecting it onto the Palestinians, allowing them to carry the burden of punishment whilst pursuing their own goal of gathering Jews into the “Holy Land”.

This removes the latter from Europe as well as allowing a European settler-colony to thrive in the Middle East. Religious and political objectives thus align in this poisonous colonial project. This underpinning of unhinged religious fervour compels the Zionists, in true colonial fashion, to project the blame elsewhere and attribute to others, their own motivations.

Hence the constant accusation that pro-Palestinians are Islamists and therefore enemies of the West. If not, then they are brainwashed “leftists” who court Muslim “terrorists”. Of course, in none of these characterizations do we see the normal, plain, simple truth – that those people who support Palestine are against apartheid and ethnic cleansing as well as the wanton killing of civilians and thousands of children in particular.

True simplicity is never the goal of propaganda; by confusing the plain truth, and continually bleating: “Islamist!” “terrorist!” they muddy the water and attempt to scare people into holding back on their rightful disgust towards the simple and plain thieving of land and killing of civilians.

On the other hand, “over-simplification” is the tool of propaganda; once it has befuddled the brain by pulling the cloak of religious obfuscation over the reality of colonialism, apartheid and ethnic cleansing, it then attempts to formulate simplistic prejudicial labels and slogans that can be circulated and repeated to replace the truth.

This is why, no matter what labels are thrown at us, we must always remember the simple truth: apartheid, ethnic cleansing, genocide and the killing of civilians especially children.

Jihad, Judaeo-Christian Lies, Taboos and “Enemies of the West”

As a result of all the foregoing, one of the most significant techniques deployed by the Zionist entity is to utilize the religious card in reverse. Whilst Jewish supremacists have been raised to hate Arabs, Muslims and Palestinians in particular, and also indoctrinated that Palestinian land is their religious birthright, the favourite Zionist technique of sleight of hand is consummately played by attributing this in reverse.

It is the Muslims persecuting them, they want to throw all Jews into the sea, blah blah blah. All the while, who do we see being killed in their thousands? Propaganda can only travel so far, but it cannot eclipse the truth, it cannot negate the raw footage, it cannot undo the rows upon rows of tiny white shrouds lined up stained with blood; it cannot reconstitute a city from rubble even in the minds eye. Reality cannot be argued with.

Do you honestly think that if it was Christians or Buddhists killing Palestinians and attempting to steal their land, it would change the feelings of the Palestinians towards those oppressing them? Don’t allow lies of “antiSemitism” to cloud your judgement.

Therefore the spectre of racial hatred has reared its head full force in recent months, and this is directly linked to the worldwide demonstrations in support of Palestine; to cast these as some kind of “Jihad” to the simple-minded, whilst reviving fears around immigration is a naked strategy to stem public support of Palestine, and garner support for “Israel’s” actions in the Middle East, which are directly supported by the UK and US governments.

I have written elsewhere what “Jihad” actually means for Muslims, notwithstanding that fringe extremist groups like ISIS and Daesh directly supported and funded by the West are not sanctioned by the almost 2 billion Muslims in the world.

If we were though, to take the word “Jihad” as analogous to a “war” of great bloodshed and violence in the name of religion, I will state categorically that what we are seeing in the announcements of “Israeli” politicians, representatives and members of society is analogous to a Jewish Supremacist Jihad.

This is by no means a judgment on all Jews, but we absolutely cannot bind our tongues from saying the word “Jew” just as we say “Muslim” and “Christian”. I cannot state strongly enough that Jews are not a protected species that we should shy away from naming, and every reasonable Jewish person I know agrees with this or is even embarrassed at this ludicrous exceptionalism that is actually the true source of supremacy. Saying the word “Jew” is not a taboo and does not make you an anti-Semite; if you have a vague sense of unease about this, unlock your critical brain – you will feel better for it.

The new coining of “Judaeo-Christian” while supposedly harking back to some ancient religious time of unity is actually a term coined around the nineteenth century and revived again in the mid-20^th century to emphasize commonality between Christians and Jews.

It has very recently gained traction due to its vigorous promotion in the wake of the genocide with figures such as Pete Hegseth and Mick Huckabee attempting to infuse with new life, historical currents like the Crusades in an awakening of patriotic fervour and white imperialism; what they really have in common is their unfettered support of “Israel”,

Again, the impetus for this revival is fully aligned with “Israel’s” actions in the Middle East and its attempts, in conjunction with the US, to garner support for its genocide through leveraging tired racist tropes of Muslims out to take over the West.

The accusation “Jihadi” towards people who support Palestine, is a sinister attempt to shut down criticism of a genocide, smear humanitarians with simplistic religious labels and at the same time express the speakers racist attitudes. Irony indeed.

It is “cultural commentators” like the rabid racist Douglas Murray who studied English at university but is sometimes seen cosplaying as a real war correspondent pretending to be in a conflict zone, complete with press vest albeit in the very safe haven of “Israel”, comfortable and coddled while he spits his anti-Muslim vitriol, who can be seen peddling such simplistic stereotypes.

The smear of “pro-Islamist” and even “Jihadist” has even been used in desperate attempts to discredit for example, Mamdani – educated, cosmopolitan and devastatingly articulate, all of the characteristics in an ethnic person, particularly of Muslim background, that are so incendiary and ire-producing to racists.

And yet the people of New York voted for him – this included not only a third of Jews in fact, Mamdani secured approximately two thirds of the young Jewish vote, representing a significant Jewish outreach that reveals an internally conflicted Jewish populace; for the Jewish supremacist Zionists, this would have produced a panic like no other.

For it is these Jewish supremacists and Zionists who have long acted as the gatekeepers of the institutions of power and privilege, who have perpetuated the propaganda and attempted to purchase every social media outlet in order to retain their formerly ironclad grip on the narrative. What has happened instead is that people have started to awaken in their millions.

Humanitarianism is not a trend; it is not a fashionable accessory and it is not a passing fad. Standing with humanity is a deeply rooted trait and fundamental to our shared values of decency. We should be shocked at what we have seen “Israel” doing over the past two years. Don’t let anybody shut you down or tell you that this constitutes antisemitism. We all owe it to our brothers and sisters in humanity, to speak up loud and clear for justice, for humanity and against genocide.
