Asymmetrical Propaganda War
by Steven Shamrak
When I started my weekly
Internet editorial letters six years ago, the term Hasbara,
pro-Israel propaganda, was dormant. Fighting the anti-Semitic and anti-Israel
propaganda is only the first step. The main and ultimate goal is to unite Jews
and our genuine friends behind the true Zionist inspiration and create a Jewish
state on all Jewish ancestral land, Eretz-Israel.
Generally speaking, I believe that it is a waste of time to reply to
accusations and fabrications of anti-Semitic or anti-Israel bigots, if there is
a difference. We must focus on our own goals and actively pursue them!
At the same time, because
of the use of modern communications and the Internet by Jew-haters, in addition
to the traditional anti-Israel media bias, it would be foolish to ignore or
dismiss the damage being caused to
Propaganda is a weapon
used to manipulate people’s opinion. It is a very important tool of warfare. It
has being successfully applied by many countries: Communists in the former

Recently I was asked why I
use term “leftists” instead of “socialists” in my letters. It is because in its
pure form Socialism is a wonderful ideology, for which people are still not
ready. It is about social justice and absolute equality for all. Modern
‘leftists’ are driven by hate! They do not care or know what real Socialism is
about!
Al-Qaeda Calls for Utilising PA-Style Arson Epertise
In the latest issue of
its English-language magazine Al-Qaeda is calling on its followers to attack
America using methods identical to those used by terrorists in Israel, that is,
large-scale arson attacks. PA terrorists frequently target Jewish communities
in Judea and Samaria, and arson has been used to drive Jews from mixed towns in
Israel.
Old City
Properties Returned to Jews
The Supreme Court
ordered two Arab squatters in Jerusalem’s Old City to vacate the homes they are
occupying. The court had rejected Arab squatters’ appeal on the basis that the
properties had been legally acquired by Jewish people prior to the
establishment of Israel in 1948. (It took Jews 64
years to get their properties back. How long would it take for Arabs and other ‘Jew-lovers’
to confiscate Jewish land and homes?)

Friends are and I'll Tell You who You are!
A self-identified
“Muslim Palestinian-American”, Hala Hijazi - a Jordanian native and current San
Francisco city employee, who has an extensive history of espousing unabashed
anti-Israel rhetoric, has personally obtained between $100,000 to $200,000 for
President Obama’s re-election campaign.
Adlene Hicheur, a particle physicist employed at the
prestigious CERN laboratory, was arrested in 2009 after police intercepted his
emails to a contact in al Qaeda which suggested the Algerian-born scientist was

Tough Jewish
Super-heroes
“The Avengers” the
biggest film opening of all time - made over $200 million at the box office in
a single weekend in cinemas in North America. It is unknown to many that the
characters were created by three Jews (Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Joe Simon) and
the film consists of an all-star team of Marvel Super heroes. (by Ronn

Revolving Doors
for International Terror
The United States has been secretly releasing
captured Taliban fighters from a detention centre in Afghanistan as part of
negotiations with insurgents to curb ongoing violence in the country. The deal stipulates that the fighters must promise to give up violence,
however there is little to stop them resuming attacks against Afghan and
American troops. "Everyone agrees they are guilty of what they have done
and should remain in detention. Everyone agrees that these are bad guys. But
the benefits outweigh the risks," an American official told. (The Koran allows Muslims lie to Infidels! It is a
well-known fact that the high number of released Palestinian terrorists have
returned to their favourite pastime - terrorism. The US deliberately repeats
Israel’s mistakes.)
Turkey is an
Islamic Stooge in NATO
Turkey is bailing out
Iran and countries facing Arab Spring rebellions. They have bought hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of gold from Turkey as they try to protect their
wealth from depreciating currencies. Turkey’s assistance to Iran is in direct
opposition to the international efforts to punish the Iranian economy, until it
cooperates with the United Nations and allow full inspections of its nuclear
facilities.
Political
Prostitution in Action!
In a surprise turnabout,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided to cancel the early
elections he had called just 24 hours before and instead form a unity
government with the opposition party Kadima. The decision shocked much of
Israel's political establishment, which was gearing up to dissolve the
parliament, or Knesset, and launch campaigns for a Sept. 4 vote. By joining the
government coalition, newly elected Kadima Chairman Shaul Mofaz avoids facing
voters amid polls indicating that his centrist party would lose more than half
its Knesset seats. Just a month ago, Mofaz declared he would not join the
government and vowed to unseat Netanyahu. (Political
survivalist, Netanyahu, has thrown a life rope to the political adversary and
alienated allies! The move could be justified if he has done so in preparation
to attack Iran’s nuclear program.)
Global Caliphate in Jerusalem?
Egypt’s Islamists aim to install a global Islamic
caliphate with its capital in Jerusalem. “The capital of the caliphate - the
capital of the United States of the Arabs - will be Jerusalem, God willing,”
Safwat Higazi told thousands of Brotherhood supporters at a Cairo soccer
stadium. (Why Jerusalem? What is wrong with Mecca?
Will they wage war against Arabs after the demise of Israel?)

Propaganda War.

Jew-haters have been
resurrecting the same false accusations and fabrications even after they had
been proven wrong many times over. Even now, some Christians still believe that
Jews use the blood of Christian babies in ritual preparation of matzos. “The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion” is still used by traditional anti-Semites and
the book has successfully migrated from anti-Semitic
Enemies of Jews do not
care about facts! Their brains are completely short -circuited and consumed by
hate. They are not just unwilling but unable to process or accept facts. They
jump from one issue to another, from country to country in their hateful
asymmetrical propaganda war against Jews! The aim is to create the perception
that their lies have some element of truth. They often say: “There is not smoke
without fire.” And, they are very good at creating lots of smoke!
Surprisingly, most of the
so-called independent Western press, exploiting the anti-Semitic inclination of
the general population, is a willing participant in the Israel-bashing game.
Journalists are only too happy to report anti-Israel information, often without
checking the source and its validity. Editors use screaming headlines like:
“World Bank Blames Israel for Poor PA Economy” or “Will Israel Return Golan
Heights to Syria?” to increase the sale of their papers, but in the process
they are creating the perception of Israel’s wrong-doing and an atmosphere of
uncertainty which only encourages PA terrorists to perform their blood-thirsty
acts. Many of those editors and journalists are quite knowingly and eagerly
participating in this scam!
At present, many Jews do
not believe in or even have any knowledge about the rights of Jewish people to
the land called
From a Jewish existential
point of view, we can’t ignore or dismiss the activities of our enemies as
either naïve or harmless. That is why I implore you to participate in actively
promoting and defending the Zionist ideals. By the coordinated effort of many
