Propaganda of Israel and America: “Goebbelism” in the service of destroying Gaza

By Anis Muhsen 

One of the most famous sayings of Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels is: “Lie and lie until you believe it.” Today, Israel applies this statement to its fullest in Gaza, and the United States and the colonial powers that ruled the Arab countries after World War I agree with it, especially France and Britain.

In their campaign against Gaza, Israel and its allies are also inspired by the principle of “the end justifies the means,” which was adopted by Niccolò Machiavelli, the sixteenth-century Italian thinker, philosopher, and politician.

This propaganda and this principle are not new to the Zionist mentality. For example, but not limited to, and to justify the establishment of Israel on the ruins of Palestine, the saying “a land without a people for a people without a land” became widespread and was marketed in Europe, which had long been searching for a solution to the Jewish question in it. The Nazi Holocaust against the Jews and other peoples of Europe contributed to convincing those who were not convinced to immigrate to Palestine, in addition to the allegations that the Jews in Palestine were defending themselves against the Arabs who wanted to kill them, and that the Palestinians abandoned their villages by choice and not out of fear of frequent news of massacres committed by gangs. Zionism. In this regard, Ilan Pappe exposes many Zionist deceptions and propaganda in his book “Ten Myths about Israel.”

As for Zionism’s use of Machiavelli’s principle, Lenni Brenner reveals in his book “Fifty-One Documents: Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis” what was done by Rudolf Kaststner, head of the Zionist Rescue Committee, in Budapest, which negotiated with the Nazis during the period 1944-1945 regarding the fate of the Hungarian Jews, which Brenner considers to be merely a cover for collusion with the Nazis to displace the rich Jews, those holding degrees, and professionals to Palestine, and to leave the poor Jews to their fate by deporting them to Auschwitz.

In the same vein comes the propaganda that is currently being practiced in the Gaza Strip, and accordingly; Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the ministers of the war government come out, along with the media, Zionist “intellectuals” and journalists, and Western media coordinate with them, to declare “Hamas” a new “ISIS”, so what is required is to establish an international coalition to eliminate it. The funny thing about this matter is that the colonial powers that founded Israel (the United States, Britain, France, and other Western countries) adopted the Israeli lie by committing heinous acts in the colonies surrounding the Gaza Strip during the “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation. From the cutting off of heads, the cutting of stomachs, and the burning of children and women, for the whole world to see US President Joe Biden shedding tears as he watched the Israeli victims who were slaughtered, raped, and burned, before the White House retracted this story and confirmed that the photos and videos referred to had not been verified, but after That day, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken adopted this Israeli propaganda, indicating that he had come to visit Israel, not only as US Secretary of State, but also as a Jew whose family had suffered as a result of Nazi persecution. Many Western media outlets have also adopted the story.

In conjunction with this propaganda, the pictures and videos of which were not published, because it would be easy to verify technically that it was not true, the Israeli machine of ethnic cleansing and military genocide was unloading all the hatred of its operators on Gazan women, children and the elderly who, despite direct transmission on Arab channels, did not receive coverage. In the Zionist-biased media, nor in the statements of Western officials.

Indeed, Israeli officials and many Zionist analysts did not hesitate to declare that what was required of the people of Gaza was their migration to Egypt within the most extreme right-wing Zionist concept of “transfer,” which is what US administration officials have called for, including National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications in the White House John Kirby. He declared the need for Egypt to open a crossing from Gaza to its territory to receive refugees from it, but without even talking about the possibility of their return.

Under the same pretext (fighting Hamas), and the same crying and wailing over the alleged massacres of the Gaza Strip, entire neighborhoods are destroyed in the cities of the Gaza Strip, and those from the north of the Strip are asked to migrate towards the south, where the border is with Egypt, in a scandalous scenario for the subsequent displacement of all Gazans from their land to Egypt. In a repetition of the ongoing Nakba.

If this scenario is achieved - and it will not be achieved as long as the resistance continues to resist and the people cling to their land - it will also mean the displacement of the Palestinians of the West Bank and Jerusalem, and perhaps the Palestinians of the territories occupied since 1948, out of their land, especially to Jordan, which sensed this imminent danger with Egypt, and is submitting with it. There is significant American and Western pressure, but this time, it does not seem that the Arab encirclement countries, nor the people of Palestine, are ready to yield to the threat and fear factor. Jordan and Egypt are adhering to their sovereignty, and the Palestinians are adhering to remaining in their land, and Zionist propaganda must be revealed for what it is through the steadfastness and resistance of the Palestinians, and the inability to stop the flow of correct information through social media, no matter how much these communication platforms try to prevent it, and the beginning of a change has recently been noticed. In some major Western media regarding the Israeli allegations.
