ISRAEL AND US MUST WIN THE PROPAGANDA WAR – Ken’s Thought of the Week

On October 7, 2023, the Hamas Muslim Brotherhood Islamo-Nazi Death Cult invaded Israel’s southern border and massacred 1,200 Israelis and took 251 hostages. More than 5,000 Hamas and other Gaza based Jihadi terrorists were ready to commit genocide against Israel’s 10 million citizens, had they not been stopped by Israeli citizens and the IDF. Hamas also bombarded Israel with thousands of rockets. The United States provided its support to Israel in the war that ensued and has been criticized for it at home and abroad.
Hamas’ major supporters and funders have been Qatar, Iran, and Turkey. Iran earned hundreds of millions of dollars from selling oil to China. It also earned millions selling arms to Russia. These “forces of evil” attacked the “forces of good” on Oct 7, 2023, marking the beginning of World War III. This physical war has, from the outset, been accompanied by a cultural war, employing a propaganda campaign of false narratives. This campaign aims to isolate both Israel and the United States. This campaign aims to isolate both Israel and the United States, while saving Hamas, its funders, and supporters from ruin and obliteration. Let’s examine the forces of evil that are waging these propaganda wars against Israel and America:
1) “Blood libels” have been the primary weapon in the propaganda war against Israel. Biased, corrupt, and anti-Semitic media, such as the New York Times, Al-Jazeera, and the BBC, have been willing participants in spreading blood libels against Israel, and not for the first time.
2) Millions of pieces of hostile disinformation and lies are posted on social media and through the Internet by bots (often state sponsored), and also by increasing the use of AI, further generating incitement. While they spread hate, and influence legacy media and policymakers worldwide, the social media companies are doing little, if anything to stop the antisemitic incitement.
3) Qatar, Iran, and Turkey are funding many pro-Hamas organizations, mosques, and hate-spewing Imams throughout the Western World.
4) Western democracies have been corrupted by socialist/communist/Islamist governments and their leaders, and have encouraged antisemitism in their regions through their mismanaged schools, universities, courtrooms, and controlled media.
5) In the U.S., Democrat governors of the 23 states have done little, if anything, to fight rising antisemitism, and the 27 Republican governors have not done nearly enough to criminalize antisemitism, or anti-Christian behavior.
6) The UN and its agencies such as UNRWA, ICC, and ICJ are antisemitic to the core, and they continuously look for opportunities to slander Israel and protect Islamic Death Cults.
7) Democracies such as the UK, France, Canada, and Australia are led by far-left leaders who have been slandering Israel. At the same time, they are now offering a reward to Hamas, vowing support for a Palestinian state, carved out of Israel.
What should democracies do to protect their Jewish and Christian populations?
1) Judeo-Christian countries that hope to survive the Islamic invasion must regain control of their borders and school systems. School books on history, geography, and literature must be examined for communist, Islamist, and globalist ideas and propaganda. In America, new laws should be enacted to require all individuals seeking public office to pass national security background checks, and to swear to uphold the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Those who were not born in America, or who reject the Constitution and Bill of Rights, should not be allowed to run for public office.
2) All mosques, imams, and Muslim schools must be reviewed to ensure they don’t preach or teach antisemitic and anti-Christian slander.
3) Major American universities and teachers’ colleges be similarly reviewed to ensure that professorial behavior does not violate the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
4) Israel and America should each create a new high-level government position dedicated to fighting the cultural war against their numerous enemies. The appropriate title of such a person could be: Minister or Secretary of Cultural Protection. The new minister should defend Israel’s and America’s Judeo-Christian values and culture, and unrelentingly attack the enemies’ disinformation propaganda and blood libels with factual and historical narratives.
5) The government or Congress should designate the Muslim Brotherhood and its hundreds of related organizations as Foreign Terror Organizations (FTOs), just as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Jordan, among others, have already done.
6) This new Minister/Secretary of Cultural Protection should work with the IRS to remove the tax-exempt status of anti-American/anti-Israel NGOs that pretend to be educational organizations but are actually political organizations.
7) The government should pressure social media giants to remove the content of Islamo-Nazi websites and bots that preach incitement to genocide.
8) The State Department should pressure Qatar, Turkey, Iran, and other funders of cultural terror to stop their support of the Muslim Brotherhood and its related affiliates, and ban their sponsorship of mosques, schools, or individuals. No Iranian government-sponsored mosque, school, or individual should be allowed on American soil.
9) The State Department should pressure countries to cut diplomatic ties with Iran unless it stops preaching genocide against America (Death to America) and Israel (Death to Israel). And the Treasury Department should cut funding to the systemically antisemitic and anti-Christian UN and its agencies.
10) The State Department should re-energize the Voice of America and other broadcasting services into our cultural enemies, such as Iran, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Russia, and China.
