The war to control the narrative

If you have been watching the news, you may have noticed the difference in covering the news. It is not so much that each side is lying outright, but that they point to different aspects of truth. Conservative news outlets like Fox and Newsmax point to October 7, while pro-Palestinian news outlets point to the ongoing genocidal events after October 7.

In any conflict, it is important to know the context. Newsmax gives the impression that the news began on October 7, when in fact that event was a climactic explosion after 18 years of an Israeli siege and blockade of Gaza. The Israelis have controlled the amount of food and medicine, giving the people of Gaza just enough to barely survive. Even fishermen have been banned.

I notice that Newsmax never uses the term Palestinian. It is always Hamas. It is as if there are no Palestinians living in Gaza. Israeli officials claim that everyone in Gaza is a member of Hamas, and everyone that is killed in the bombing campaign is part of Hamas, even though most of the casualties are women and children who were ineligible to vote in the last election.

Newsmax talks about Palestinians wanting to claim Israeli territory, when in fact it is the other way around. Likewise, they report how the Iranians sent 300 drones and missiles into Israel on April 14, but they say nothing about the April 1^st Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus which brought about the Iranian response.

Some, then, point to April 1^st as the origination of the crisis, while others point to April 14 as the start of the crisis. The average person is not informed well enough to understand the war to control the narrative (i.e., the propaganda war). To get a proper perspective of what is going on in the world, we need to be informed of the causes of each action.

The UK’s David Cameron was questioned about the Israeli genocidal response to October 7, and he immediately diverted attention to the 300 drones on April 14. He claimed that this response was disproportionate, even though no one was killed in the strike. Of course, he failed to address the disproportionate Israeli response to the October 7 event, in which more than 40,000 Palestinians have been killed and displaced.

October 7 is being used to justify the depopulation of Gaza so that Israeli settlers can take over that territory. The Israeli policy is to destroy the homes and apartments in Gaza so that it will be impossible to continue living there. They directed people south to Rafah in hopes that Egypt would agree to take the survivors and settle them in the Sinai. Egypt, of course, has flatly refused, leaving the Palestinians between a rock and a hard place.

Yesterday the Israelis began bombing Rafah, killing mostly children. This attack is supposedly to destroy the rest of Hamas. But it is clear that it is a final attempt to depopulate Gaza so that the Israelis can lay claim to the land. In fact, the Israelis are now attacking towns in the West Bank, which is ruled by the Palestinian Authority’s President Abbas. So Hamas is just an excuse to expel all Palestinians from the river to the sea before the UN can recognize a two-state solution.

This goal is part of the written platform of the ruling Likud party.

When Palestinians cooled off at the beach in Gaza, the Israelis were “enraged.”

How dare they have a moment of fun at the beach! It is an afront to the Israelis that these children (“future Hamas members”) are not yet dead. It is an affront to the Israelis that their mothers are alive to give birth to “future Hamas members.”

What is perhaps the most alarming is that polls show that 68 percent of Israelis agree with this genocidal policy. That still leaves 32 percent of Israelis that oppose it. Nonetheless, it shows a hardening of their Zionist belief. In my view this shows a clear drift toward divine judgment on Jerusalem, even though a quarter of American Jews are opposed. They believe that Israel is an apartheid state.

The news media would have us believe that these are “self-hating Jews,” and that to oppose Israel’s genocide is to be anti-semitic.

Note also the pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, reminiscent of the Vietnam era. I recall the incident at Kent State University, which called in the National Guard, which opened fire on the protesters, killing five students. Now Columbia University has also called in the National Guard. That probably won’t end well. Protests are only acceptable if the government organizes it covertly for their own purposes.

It is increasingly clear that Zionism itself is on public trial here. In past years, the Zionists controlled the narrative, insisting that Zionism was equated to Israel’s right to exist. But now the ugly truth is being exposed—that Palestine does not have a right to exist. It is all or nothing.

The root cause takes us back to UN Resolution 181 on November 29, 1947 which partitioned the land between Israel and Palestine. Obviously, that Resolution has been an utter failure and will have to be repealed at some point. Did the UN really have the right to give away half of someone else’s land? The Israelis were more than happy to comply with it, knowing that when they would become strong enough, they would drive out the Palestinians and claim the entire land for themselves.

Such is the nature of Zionism, and this is now being exposed for all to see. What the Zionists fail to see is that God is laying out His charges against them in the divine court before rendering judgment that will destroy Jerusalem and render the land uninhabitable to anyone. Hagar-Jerusalem will be cast out, as the prophecy states (Galatians 4:25, 30).

I have long believed that Christian Zionists will remain blind in this regard until Jerusalem is destroyed. Only then will they be forced into the truth. It will be a traumatic moment for them, because their entire eschatology will be destroyed in a moment. However, we who know the truth of this matter will not be shaken, because we stand on the sure word of prophecy.
