Israel/Hamas War Commentary: Propaganda

By Rich Kozlovich

Editor's Note: Here is the link to all I've published about this horror: My Israel/HAMAS War Series.  RK

As this war unfolds it becomes clear the planning that went into this wasn't just about arms, infiltration, targets, etc.  This was planned as a worldwide effort not only as a violent vile action against Israel, but a public relations war also, involving their corrupt talking heads in the media, academia, governments all over the world, and international institutions, especially the UN.  They're all now been exposed for their vileness and corruption.  Now, everyone knows where everyone stands.  I like it. 

Minimizing the number of dead Jews -  October 9, 2023 By Milli Sands - It is fashionable to compare the current war in Israel with the 9/11 attack. “This is no less than Israel's 9/11,” said Ian Bremmer, the president of Eurasia Group, in reference to the scale of the attack.  Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper explains why he thinks the Hamas attack in Israel compares to the attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001. Gilad Erdan, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, analogizes similarly. He stated on "Fox & Friends Weekend" (10/08) that the 600 dead in the conflict with Hamas equates roughly to 20,000 Americans dead on 9/11, given population differences (the number of dead is almost certain to rise). Erdan’s back-of-the-envelope math is: there are ~330,000,000 Americans and ~10,000,000 Israelis. Hence, there are 33 times more Americans than Israelis. 33 x 600 = 19,800. Roughly, 20,000.  This minimizes the number significantly. ............

CNN's claims about Gaza are loaded with canards -  October 15, 2023 By Michael Berenhaus -What is with CNN and its reporting on Israel's military operation to take out Hamas in Gaza? Its reporting is littered with cliches and canards.Here is an obvious one:

CNN claims Gaza is an "open air prison" with, by implication, Israel the oppressive jailer.

But Gaza is not an "open-air prison" as CNN reporters have said several times on their programming. If it's an open-air prison, how do they explain the thousands of rockets, drones, attack boats, paragliders, automatic rifles, and other sophisticated equipment that the Hamas terrorists were able to bring in?  Does a prison exist where it is possible to sneak in that kind of weaponry? Doesn’t CNN understand that they are aiding and abetting not to mention inflaming pro-terrorist supporters with their terrorist-supportive rhetoric?   Do they ever check the nonsense they repeat over and over? .......

The Daily Chart: The Pathetic Genocide Claim - October 10, 2023 by Steven Hayward in The Daily Chart - The crazed anti-Semitic left likes to say that Israel is engaged in “genocide” against Palestinians, but it is hard to see how anyone can take this seriously if you look at the growth of the Palestinian population...........

 

 Leftist media outlets are ridding themselves of Islamists October 14, 2023 By Andrea Widburg - Sometimes, people ask me how I keep going when the news is so depressing. It’s partly because I’m compulsive, but it’s also because you never know when a Black Swan—a completely unanticipated event—will change things. For Israelis, Hamas’s attack on thousands of civilians was the worst kind of Black Swan. However, horror can be cathartic and clarifying. Here in America, it might even lead to cleaning up the news media. The good news is that Americans have their heads screwed on right by a two-to-one margin. (I wish it were a greater margin, but I’ll take two-to-one.) That’s because, when it comes to what happened, they side with Israel and agree that Hamas needs to be destroyed:.............

 

The urgent need to counter Hamas’s social media propaganda By David Sypher Jr. October 13, 2023 - The world is closely following the ongoing Hamas-Israel conflict, with speculations about the next possible events, including the involvement of groups like Hezbollah, or potential actions by Israel with U.S. support against Iran. Predictions and opinions on these matters flood social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), often coming from individuals rather uninformed on the complexities of the situation. While social media plays a significant role in spreading information, it’s also becoming a breeding ground for more sinister activities that, if left unaddressed, can have devastating consequences.  Hamas is not only engaged in a well-organized terrorist attack but has also launched a social media campaign flooded with viral rumors, misleading images, and outright falsehoods. This campaign aims to sow division and hate. It’s time we stop giving attention to terrorist propaganda...........

 

Hamas-Sympathizing Dem Blames Media for Her Hamas Propaganda Incident About the Gaza Hospital Bombing - Matt Vespa October 19, 2023 - Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) are two of the most vocal and visible terrorist-sympathizing voices on the Hill. Both have a history of anti-Semitic shenanigans, Omar with the more extensive list, including the infamous tweet about Israel having hypnotic powers over the world. Omar, remember, couldn’t denounce radical Islamic terrorists who committed the 9/11 attacks, describing it as an event where “some people did something.” ............
