The Netanyahu regime has reportedly opened yet another front, this time on the American Internet, according to both Max Blumenthal and Alistair Crooke. The latter recently appeared on Judge Napolitano’s show:
The eighth front is inside the United States, and it is the front that is against—if you like—the podcasters and the influencers that are on the internet. This is because they have already largely bought the mainstream media and have been controlling that from the Obama administration on. We all see that now, the details of how much they were controlling things through COVID and everything else.
Now, the eighth front is really the war that I think Max Blumenthal has been outlining very clearly: the war against people like Charlie Kirk and against others who are questioning why it is “Israel first” and not “America first.” They are asking, “What is this takeover of America by Israel and these big Jewish oligarch billionaires who seem to wield huge influence?” These are the same people who have just bought TikTok because they don’t like it; its algorithm doesn’t seem to give enough support to Israel, so they’re going to change the algorithm to make sure it changes its position.
So that’s the front. The front is to maintain control and to have influence over the young Americans, be they Republican or Democrats. But the young Americans—you would know this much more than me as an outsider—are drifting away very noticeably from supporting Israel, as is the rest of the world. And this is an existential threat because if Israel loses America, it’s an existential threat to its future.
Is the Israeli government actually concerned about the effect of alternative media, such as the one you and I are on at this very moment?
Very concerned about it. Very concerned because these young people, these young MAGA people, the sort of Nick Fuentes and people like this, Charlie Kirk—I mean, they are still quite young, but quite clearly they’re going to move into positions of power increasingly in the United States. And if they’ve lost the young, they are going to lose America. Not today, not tomorrow, but this is the eighth front. This is the big war that Israel and Netanyahu believe they cannot lose.
They must keep control over the internet media system, as well as the mainstream system. So they’re splashing out, buying up as much as they can, which I think Max Blumenthal has outlined quite extensively.
However, based upon a) the selection of influencers and b) the inept rhetoric, I very much doubt this eighth front is going to enjoy very much success.
MEET NETANYAHU’S PRO-ISRAEL INFLUENCERS
Debra Lea, Lizzy Savetsky, Emily Austin, Shay Szabo, The Latino Zionist, Hannah Faulkner.
These are 7 identified influencers who met with Netanyahu to plan for their Israeli propaganda campaign as part of Israel’s 8th Front War. Netanyahu instructed them to:
– Target TikTok & X
– Christians who criticize Israel are Woke Reich
“Woke Reich.” Oh my. Boomer confirmed! I haven’t seen a rhetorical misstep that bad since “Gamers are Dead” launched GamerGate. Also, needs more umlauts. Völk Reich would be more like it.
Now, anyone can buy all the influencers they like, but what they’ll soon find is that the influence wielded on their behalf is essentially nonexistent because a sponsored influencer is primarily useful for exposure, not for directing opinions. No one is going to change their minds about anything because Nickles Fuentes or The Latino Zionist tell them to do so.
Especially if Col. Macgregor is correct and Israel is about to launch Round 2 with Iran on its own without significant assistance from the US military.
