One of the most successful propaganda campaigns of the modern era has convinced millions (billions?) of people that the real masters of propaganda are “the Zionists.” It is a remarkable inversion.
Propaganda as used today, in my mind, consists of the "Big Lie" which Dr. Goebbel's used to tell a big enough lie often enough so it becomes it's own version of reality. The entire Jewish population of the Earth is a miniscule amount and somehow they're running the world? Bizarre.
There is a downside to being a people blessed with outsized intelligence, creativity, and ambition. You bring a lot to the world and overall make it a MUCH better place, but outsized success creates outsized envy. It doesn’t help that Jews have had an outside representation in the ranks of Communists and other usually nihilistic philosophies. Intellectualism does have a major downside.
This conundrum is part of the brokenness of the world, very consistent with both a Jewish and a Christian worldview. But, Christians have added to the problem by often perpetuating Jewish hatred. My good friend Jack E. Became a “messianic Jew, in his late 20s or 30s, and has built Christian hospitals all over Africa. He is truly a servant of the Lord and a fine human being. But his mother, a holocaust survivor, would not speak to him from the time he became a Christian until she was on her deathbed. Of course she could never forget nor forgive the horrors visited upon her and her family by the “Christians“ of Europe.
May our triune God of the Father, the Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, continue to love and protect Israel!
“ Tevye, is there a prayer for the Jews?”
“ yes, there is. May God keep the righteous Jews close to us… and keep the intellectual secular ones far far away!“
My apologies to “fiddler on the roof“. And I hope I have not overstep boundaries in what seems to me to be an empirical realistic explanation for brokenness.
The New York Times has become a major distributor of anti-Israel propaganda, manipulating readers' sympathies with photos of dead Gaza children while failing to provide any context about Israel's need to remove the existential threat posed by Hamas. Unfortunately, millions think the NYTimes is the ultimate source of objective truth.
All politics is a version of ‘Us versus Them’ tribalism, manipulated by clever and unscrupulous men and women in their service of Profit, and Political Power. Non of us is impervious to tribal emotions of Fear and Hatred. The latest Cohort of Propagandists have learned that simply packaged Emotional content cuts right through the Noise, to move us politically. So, Prepare for much more and much worse. The Antidote: hold the ground with facts and bright-minded Argument. We have achieved some stunning results in the realm of Social Media, replying to and debunking Nazism. This route to truth works.

Thank God the Ruach HaKodesh can guide us through the morass.
