Daze, you are not getting what I’m communicating and that could be partly my fault in how I’m presenting it; Global politics is a game of confidence and sympathy and Israel excels at it — to the point of even confusing Progressives into doing things against their own good and the good of innocent people because they’ve been manipulated into a guilt-repentance scenario.
If you look at the industries that Israel and/or Jewish diaspora groups have dominated domestically or internationally, they are strongly centered on communications power; film, press, law, politics, data and programming.
For whatever reason, perhaps it’s something to be studied further as it doesn’t necessarily denote superior performance in all forms of intelligence but definitely does in a certain kind, Jewish diaspora groups excel at communication, persuasion; rhetoric. They effectively dominate or form and maintain narratives.
I never claimed that Palestinians deserve their lot but look at your own assessment of Americans, based on a handful of highly socially connected, bad representatives like The Clintons, The Bushes and some elitist freemasons (who actually consider themselves nation-less, as they’re all part of one global group working towards a one, world order global power consolidation) who, in no way, represent the experience, attitudes and intentions of most Americans.
This site is supposed to be about truth, right? I accept the truth about the flaws in American origin, American culture, the American system and Christian Americans, ourselves.
Don’t you want to know the truth of why Palestinians struggle to gain global sympathy? The stories are true, of poor public anger management as a cultural norm among a wide range of Muslim diasporas that have re-located outside of traditional homelands.
In Dearborn, Michigan, a group silently walking through a carnival while holding bible verses, gets abused, spat on, yelled at, chairs thrown at them, by angry Muslim locals who disapprove of the scripture.
Were they being provocative? Of course. But those are the kind of situations that add to the communication arsenal of your adversaries.
On 9/11, yes, there were Muslim communities dancing in the streets as the towers fell. I know people who lived and worked right in the area, who saw it with their own eyes. Others caught it on recordings.
Does that denote guilt? Of course not. But it provides a perfectly unlikable scapegoat for the real perpetrators. Such a perfect scapegoat, in fact, that no one pays close attention to the absolutely stupid, absurd story that the passports of the two accused Muslim “terrorists” were found in the rubble. Or that no plane was found at the “plane crash” site at The Pentagon.
Everyone even forgets that Israeli “art students” had set up a “project” in a tower almost a year before the attack, where a glass box was put out a window and photos were taken of people standing in it, from a helicopter. It was obviously a “green screen” film project. There were cardboard boxes on the walls, with TNT identification on them.
All people remember are videos of smiling Muslims celebrating and Mullahs saying “The Great Satan” deserved it. Not that they didn’t necessarily have a point, when talking about what our rogue FBI and CIA was up to abroad but it doesn’t win the global narrative game. People struggle to feel sympathy for those who hate them and want to see them fail. Every human would struggle with this.
Muslims protesting the free food served in refugee camps by lighting camps on fire, heading grooming gangs and recording gang rapes and assaults, attacking western female reporters in Egypt, threatening death to cartoonists and documentary filmmakers, flipping-out at town meetings and throwing chairs at carnivals: Even though it might be only 100 specific Muslims caught on film behaving badly and arrested and charged for these crimes, Israel doesn’t have to even break a sweat to use all of it to paint the narrative that Muslims are irrational, prone to a too-extreme-for-the-stimulus response, hotheads and “gee, maybe Palestinians have a warped perspective about what’s happening in their home, right, world?”
Is that fair? No, it’s not. But they’re winning the communication battle and Muslim religious leader “mouthpieces” are helping them do it. I would exclude those that called-out John Kerry’s illegal attempt to travel abroad to start a war in the Middle East, goading mullahs to set it off while Trump was President, though. Good for them. They made it clear that they knew what Kerry was up to and even basically said to Americans: “Do YOU know what he’s trying to do?!”
Some sophisticated Saudi royals of this generation and Dubai businessmen figured this out a few years ago and have been jolting a “soft power” response, regarding driving laws and women, trade deals, etc. They understand how important diplomatic outreach and frankly, charm and politeness, is.
