The war of lies against Israel: the problem in historical perspective
Since the era of World War I, inversion of truth and reality has become a favored method of public persuasion. One of its most frequent expressions has been the accusation that the Jewish people have become the new Nazis, aggressors and oppressors. Contemporary observers have described this method as the “inversion of reality,” an “intellectual confidence trick” and “reversal of moral responsibility,” and these accusations have not been refuted; they have gradually gained credence.
Since inversion of reality constitutes the basic principle of current anti-Israel propaganda, it is important to understand how it works. This propaganda method is a product of totalitarian regimes, particularly of Nazi Germany. It is totalitarian both in its methods and in the absolute solution it advocates. It emphatically denies Israel’s legitimacy, sovereignty and right to self-defense. It strives to dominate public spaces (which now include social media) and, through constant social and political intimidation, creates a condition of groupthink supported by the madness of zombies on the streets.
