Key Arab-Israeli Conflict Facts
Open individual rights societies are far more vulnerable to the vertical warfare domains than closed collectivist regimes. Bannon-Putinists flood the zone with shit by conspiracist-reality-demolishing disinformation, which is symptomatic of decaying deinstitutionalizing democracies. It’s Vladimir Putin puppets like those pictured below that drive democracies into anocracy, that in-between state between authoritarianism and law democracy.
And then into one person, one vote, one more time authoritarianism or civil war.
But they’re not found only on the Trumpster/Orban/Meloni/LePen /Erdogan/AfD populist Right. They’re abundant on the oppressor-oppressed binary-wokerati Left. Both love conspiracy theories about Jews. Conspiracist anti-Semitism, cross-dressing as anti-Zionism, is therefore the litmus test of democratic decay.
This is the fertile soil in which the Arabs have planted their disinformation warfare.
The “no Jews, no news” global pogrom
The result: a double standards anti-Semitism of “no Jews, no news” that pervades Western media and discourse about murderous Muslim vs. Muslim mayhem in the Middle East (Syria, Yemen, Kurdistan, Somalia, Darfur, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Libya):
Have you fallen for any of the secular-sounding bullet points below? After all, nobody who isn’t a psychopath won’t agree that apartheid, war crimes, genocide, and dispossession are evil and that rights, justice, and self-determination are good. Hang the former on Israel and Zionism and claim the latter for Arabs and you’ve won the narrative war.
You’ve been snookered by Arab disinformation warfare if you assume that the Palestinian cause is only about these human rights-sounding placards:
Undo “Nakba” and recover “stolen land.”
Undo “occupation” and “dispossession.”
“Israel, apartheid state.”
“Israeli genocide and war crimes/”
“Two states living side by side” instead of “two states for two peoples” to ensure that Palestinian statehood would not jeopardize an unlimited…..
“Right of return” to get “a just solution to the refugee problem/”
“Palestinian rights”, which really mean….
“Palestine free, from the river to the sea” (“free” meaning free of Jews).
“Innocent civilians.” Hamas isn’t and doesn’t represent the people of Gaza.”
“Indigenous” “from time immemorial.”
Almost all who repeat them have never heard of “waqf,” “dhimmi,“ “shaheed,” “Yishuv,” “active measures,” “effendi,” “fellaheen,” Hebron 1929, Safed 1838 and 1880 massacres. Ernest Bevin, Golda Meir’s Palestinian passport, Hope-Simpson report, Peel Commission, Zuheir Mohsen, Baghdad Farhud, Mufti Amin Al-Husseini, Azzam Pasha’s “war of extermination, Mizrahi and Falasha Jews, Bedouin Stanford MBA Sophia Khalifa, Lucy Aharhysh, and Israeli Arab IDF Major Mona Liza Abdo.
If you don’t know what these terms mean, you’re the useful idiot target of a 75-year Arab-Soviet and Arab-Russian-Iranian hybrid disinformation war that redefined Israel after its 1967 Six-Day War victory. A decolonizing rescue project to build a homeland for Jews - a tiny David vs the Arab Goliath of the map below.
It redefined Israel by updating the Tsarist-forged Protocols of the Elders of Zion, branding it as a white Euro-American arm of global Jewish power oppressing Palestinian (no longer Arab) victims:
Which projects western wokeratis’ oppressor-oppressed binary onto the Arabs’ century-long denial of Jewish equality in sovereignty.
The “we hate Zionism, not Jews” loophole recycles old Jews as bankers and Bolsheviks’ anti-Semitism. It recycles anti-Semitism as a conspiracy theory of how hidden power works that German socialists August Bebel and Ferdinand Kronawetter called “the socialism of fools.”
From socialism of fools’ placard protest to global pogrom
What results from this hybrid disinformation warfare? A snowballing global pogrom that moves from every synagogue and every Jew viewed as an Israeli embassy.
Placard slogans for simpletons
The anti-Semitism cross-dressing as anti-colonialist anti-Zionism then gets wrapped into a package of placard slogans for simpletons. It illustrates Voltaire’s warning to “beware of the great simplifiers”: apartheid, oppressor, genocidal, foreign element, white European settler colonialist.1
Islamists replicate the Soviets’ “active measures” strategy of creating front groups with inoffensive secular-sounding names to lure in the young and disaffected in need of belonging and performative protest. It’s the cause of the month upon which to ride the identity politics hobby horse that most obsesses them.
Narcissistic performative and politically trendy tragedy tourism requires no education about the real issues in play.
Performative placard protest also demands less sustained work than actually organizing and accomplishing real change at home.
Since studying, learning, and thinking are hard work and demand a long attention span, most people simply won’t do it.

Juicy Jews are mapping the entirety of Jewish publications here on Substack.
Though 60–65% of Israelis are descended from 851000 Mizrahi or Sephardic Jews expropriated, expelled, and pogromed out of Arab states and 2% are black Ethiopian Jews.
It’s time for Israel to wipe Hamas and Hezbollah from this Earth. Then on to the head of the snake: Iran.
Excellent article
