Manufacturing Hatred: Israel’s Campaign To Demonize Islam in the West
The concept of an "Islamic invasion" of the West materialized in large part because of Israeli PsyOps in the U.S.
Deus Vult!
Have you noticed how much Americans seem ready to fight a new holy crusade against Islam more than usual, as of late?
It’s not just algorithmic bias on social media.
Sure, anti-Islamic sentiment has been more or less a hallmark of Western society ever since 9/11, coming and going with the winds of political trends, but a mid-2024 report by the Council on American-Islamic Relations reveals that hate crimes and discrimination complaints against Muslims and Arabs in the United States have hit all-time record high numbers.
Moreover, it seems like rabidly anti-Islam, pro-Israel figures are being boosted across social media, like Republican congressional aspirant Valentina Gomez. She went viral for publicly burning the Quran with a flamethrower, calling all Muslims “terrorists,” and claiming she’s going to “stop Islam...once and for all.”
Despite rising to fame as a fierce critic of organized religion, American comedian Bill Maher sure loves to pick and choose which faiths actually deserve criticism. Maher will trash Americans all day, liberal or conservative, who dare to even question the atrocities Israel has committed in Palestinian lands, labeling them all terrorist supporters.
Conversely, the only state in the world to declare itself the singular homeland of a specific religious group, Israel, gets a free pass to kill men, women, and children en masse, torture prisoners, steal the land of another nation in violation of international law, and engage in more scandal that can be explored in a single article.
Islam: The West’s Harbinger of Destruction?
The list of American anti-Islamic crusaders goes on and on, notwithstanding the fact that a unified Islamic or Arab monolith that could bring about the demise of Christianity or Western civilization… does not exist! The pan-Arab Ba’athist movement, formerly embodied by the political parties of Saddam Hussein and Bashar Al Assad, has been crushed – the culmination of a destabilizing series of events for which we all have the West to thank.
No single entity unites Sunnis, Shiites, Wahabbis, Sufis, etc., for the purpose of expanding Islamic civilization, contrary to the claims of our 21st-century Templars; in fact, Muslims are mostly too busy fighting one another to pose any real threat to anybody else.
The widespread distaste for Islam in the West primarily concerns mass illegal migration and the fact that many of these migrants are Muslims who are breaking the law, as well as refusing to assimilate to the cultures of their host countries.
But that has nothing to do with Islam itself and everything to do with the fact that the West has destabilized the Middle East and North Africa through decades of wars and regime change! The so-called “Islamic invasion,” which is really an exodus of people fleeing war-torn lands, constitutes a crisis of the West’s own making; and its negative consequences are of a spontaneous nature, not that of an Islamic conspiracy.
On the other hand, Jews indeed have a unified force that directs their well-funded political interests – Israel. The Jewish state is dependent on billions of dollars in annual U.S. military aid and Washington’s global diplomatic influence for the continuation of its colonial project.
Israel Wants You To Hate Islam
It should then come as no surprise that Israeli influence operations in the United States constitute one of Tel Aviv’s primary foreign policy objectives. In 2024, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee spent nearly $52 million in political campaign donations to directly influence the course of U.S. politics. That’s not even to mention all the other, more clandestine, Israeli influence operations such as the Esther Project, in which social media influencers are being paid $7000 per post to spread Israeli propaganda demonizing Arabs/Muslims and improving Israel’s public image in the United States.
However, when it comes to the faith common among all of Israel’s adversaries, Islam, Tel-Aviv has been waging a multi-million dollar campaign to brainwash Americans into hating it, ever since the outbreak of recent hostilities between Israel and Hamas on October 7th, 2023.
According to Al Jazeera, the Tel-Aviv based marketing company Stoic behind the campaign is funded by Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, with the explicit purpose of covertly manipulating American public opinion away from supporting Palestine:
“The campaign’s existence came to light in early 2024 when researchers began noticing suspicious patterns across social media platforms. Scores of fake accounts were identified spreading pro-Israeli content, primarily focused on garnering support for Israel’s actions in Gaza. These accounts were predominantly linked to three websites: “Moral Alliance”, “Unfold Magazine” and “Non-Agenda”. Collectively, these sites amassed over 40,000 followers across Facebook, Instagram and X.
The campaign involved publishing pro-Israeli articles, often lifted from legitimate news outlets, and then sharing them through hundreds of fake social media accounts. One such example was an article reporting on allegations of UNRWA staff involvement in the 7 October attack. Researchers noted that the content was frequently repeated verbatim across multiple accounts, targeting the same individuals with identical posts and replies.”
The cherry on top? None of these firms, neither Stoic nor Bridge Partners behind the Esther Project, have registered as foreign agents or even revealed their identities - a clear violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). The legislation is selectively applied to countries on Washington’s hitlist, like Russia, whose television network RT was charged with ‘hijacking public discourse’ last year for failing to register media organizations allegedly associated with the channel.
‘Be discriminating about what images and ideas you permit into your mind.’ - Epictetus
When it comes to Israel, however, powerful people in Washington clearly don’t care about what happens to public discourse or what well-funded political interests are telling us to believe. With these forces in charge, it becomes nearly impossible for the individual to properly inform him or herself on just to what extent political issues are being artificially manufactured by the media and if, otherwise, it would even be worth paying much attention.
Don’t allow yourself to be brainwashed into thinking that Israel’s adversaries, essentially all of whom are trying to protect their own national sovereignty, are out to get you. Israel has its own predatory foreign policy agenda that cares for no nation other than its own – and Tel Aviv has demonstrated that its willing to do whatever it takes to carry out its expansionist ambitions.
