A terrific article by Ido Singer! The Soviet Union is the one who came up with the absurd propaganda that Israel is a white settler colonial state and the Palestinians are poor, helpless colonized people robbed of their ancient homeland. It is propaganda that endures to this day. Nothing can be done to get rid of it accept try to share the facts. This framing has caused so many radicalized westerners especially young people, to see everything having to do with Israel through the lens of colonialism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, genocide, you go down the list. But this isn’t the case, the situation is much more complex than that. It also obscures the fact that the real oppressor of the Palestinian people is NOT Israel. It is Fatah, Hamas and the Arab countries. If you’re looking for an apartheid against Palestinians, you’ll find it alright but not in Israel or the West Bank. But rather in Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. Fatah steal from their own people as do Hamas. Who exactly is the great oppressor of Palestinians here. You want to talk apartheid? Talk to ACTUAL victims of such an oppressive and evil system those black, Coloured and Asian South Africans who lived under the REAL apartheid and whom’s suffering you are trivializing by making that ridiculous comparison.
Genocide? Ethnic Cleansing? Colonialism? The Jewish people ironically enough experienced all those things and the Palestinians never have. On the first point, the Holocaust, that’s all I need to say. On ethnic cleansing that’s literally what almost every country Jews have ever lived in have done to them be of England, France, Germany, Russia, Ukraine, Sicily, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Spain, Portugal, Egypt, Iraq, Yemen, Morocco, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran all expelled their Jewish populations at some point in history. By the way, this is also what the Jordanians did when they took East Jerusalem in 1948. Colonialism? Well, the Jews were colonial subjects of the Arabs for centuries and by the British Empire for decades. Going back to the apartheid point, Jews and Christians are forbidden to pray at the Temple Mount while Muslims can. Is that not a religious apartheid?
Funny how the Arabs one of the most prolific colonizers in history who conquered and oppressed the Jews, Kurds, Copts, Bedouins, Druze, Maronites, Mandeans, Berbers, Samaritans, and the Persians and who enslaved millions of white Europeans and black Africans are now the one’s crying oppression. Meanwhile, the Jews are the ultimate example of de-colonization and an indigenous people taking back their homeland in action! The Palestinians used this propaganda to try and make Israel look like the bad guys. But all the while they were shooting, stabbing and kidnapping people, massacring civilians, hijacking planes, blowing up buses full of schoolchildren, raping young women at music festivals, looting, sacking and burning civilian homes, and all sorts of other horrors. It doesn’t matter if they are oppressed people or not, that is NOT how you fight for a cause! The Civil Rights Movement in the United States didn’t need to do these things to get civil rights legislation passed and Jim Crow dismantled.
A great post. Thank you. What is not said is that this is all being financed by Qatar who has given billions to our universities so that they exhibit influence on our educational system. Including, btw/ the Teachers’ Union and it’s wonderfully Progressive leader Randi Wiengarten, that another great example of his “useful idiot” strategy who’d sell out her own people for some more $$… a “Kapo” of the highest degree.
Lastly, how about those 7 “Jewish” Senators who voted to cut military aid to Israel.
Party over people. Gotta win that next election, yeah?
“Jewish” Senators who voted to cut military aid to Israel. History has shown that "useful idiots" are often disposed of once they are no longer needed. There are many historical precedents for this type of behavior.
The solution is simple, Jews need to stop whining and start actively defending our existence, we cannot win this through dialogue as the dialogue is already far too distorted, we are never going to make the rabid jihadists like us so why are we wasting resources trying, find the source of their money and their evil and end them, do it now as they are coming for us, your name is already on their list, it may be a little far down but it is there, its just a matter of when, our only salvation will be when they are so afraid of us they will be too afraid to come out into the light ever again.
The good news can be seen in the examples of the countries of Eastern Europe. They suffered for two generations under the system that refined the propaganda. Yet, the finally broke free. Nothing is forever except G-d.
Brilliant! Really an antidote for violence, disrespect and ingratitude. Though not a Jew, I have a tremendous respect for the state of Israel, and lament the one battle after another they have endured to secure a homeland.
Despite this KGB operative's explanation personal accountability is the key to defeating this "useful idiot" transformation. "To thine own self be true" from Shakespeare's "Hamlet" is the answer and teaching the young ones that THEY hold truth in THEIR hands is truly the way to defeat this cult of victimhood, period. Just like a dripping faucet it takes a little bit every day to fill the youthful empty bucket with positive beliefs.
So is the antidote. You cannot undo fifteen years of installed ideology in one conversation. You do it one interaction at a time, one young person at a time, one honest exchange at a time.

Term “Useful Idiots” belongs to Vladimir Lenin! He hated the “slobbery” Leftists and called them that because he knew how to direct them through propaganda and infiltration, so the West would destroy itself.
We were warned. The PLO Charter originated, was drafted in Moscow in 1964, following this Soviet Russia and Communist bloc countries collaborated with the PLO to depict the Palestinian cause as the anti-imperialistic cause to appeal to both the Left and the Islamic world. By the 1970s, they overtook the United Nations. Muslim and Communist bloc countries aligned against Israel and Western democracies. Stalin’s doctrine is being utilized to challenge Israel, destabilize Western institutions, and oppose capitalism. The far right, the left, academia, and the media—have adopted the view that Israel is an occupier, with a narrative portraying the United States as a malevolent force, despite it remaining the main destination for people from around the world.
Before diving into the following information, kindly watch the following clip on YouTube, it will give you an idea how the ideological subversion process is manufactured:
G. Edward Griffin interviews Yuri Bezmenov Ideological subversion or psychological warfare changes the perception of reality to such an extent that despite the abundance of information, no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interests of defending themselves, their families, their community and their country.
Bezmenov is worth reading as a Cold War warning about Soviet active measures, and how those works became useable for others.
"Deception Was My Job: The Testimony of Yuri Bezmenov, Propaganda Agent" is a great and troubling read. Worth a full read to really get our teeth into the concepts of what your article talks about!
Muslims have killed 2.6 million blacks in Africa in the last 20 years
Muslims are killing Christians every day all over the world
There is a world wide Muslim religious war...
And so many people pretend it isn't happening.

Very well put. Thank you

Thank you for the kind words and for reading, Rick.
I mentioned it in another article about AIPAC, but you're right. It needs connecting here as well.
That vote was disgraceful. Not mincing words.

That is the right read.
The system is durable until it isn’t.
Eastern Europe is exactly the right example. Poland, the Czech Republic, the Baltic states.
They know what the ideology costs because they paid for it in full. That is why they spend the most on defense and say the clearest things.
History is a better teacher than comfort.
Thank you for this.

The dripping faucet image is exactly right.
Demoralization is slow and cumulative.

So true, sadly

It is all very true and well taken -- your experiment and its implementation by Bezmenov's former operators in practice.
Add a general apathy of the masses that can't seem to see through this psyops and lets itself either to be led by them or ignore them .
superb piece and i truly wish this brain washed generation would wake up but i am not confident
We need to speak up. A lot.
What we can do at the moment is homeschool our own children and teach them the truth.
Very 👍true!

Beautifully said. I wish the "propaganda structure" was widely known not the propaganda itself fooling the useful idiots.
