Notice how especially large & aggressive “pro-Palestinian” marches follow large & high-profile massacres of Jews by Hamas. It’s what happened on Oct 8, and it’s what’s happening now, after the execution of 6 Jewish hostages. It’s not accidental. There’s an objective here: to draw attention and sympathies away from the massacred Jews; shift the news cycle; get the world back ‘on track’ with viewing Jews as the devil incarnate - and shut down any attempt to think or say otherwise. There’s also the goal of presenting Jews as the culprits in their own murder. Notice the latest Hamas statement, in which Hamas says it had warned the Jews not to try to free their hostages, implying it’s the Jews’ own fault their hostages are dead. Meanwhile, the release of videos filmed right before the hostages were executed is meant to deliver a powerful emotional punch: to spark rage that the Israelis and the world will direct at Bibi rather than the real culprit - the Hamas. This is psychological warfare, which relies on disinformation, intimidation and emotional manipulation, and it’s having an effect (see what’s going on in Israel). The Hamas document the Israeli media reported the IDF uncovered recently shows just how intentional and strategic Hamas has been with all of this. Its psyops are geared at the Israelis, at the American Jews, and at the West more broadly. How we collectively respond to this will determine whether we are able to defend our societies or not. https://bird.makeup/@visegrad24/1830677324645220526
