Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently told a group of “influencers” gathered at Israel’s Consulate General in New York that TikTok was the most important “weapon” in the propaganda war.

Public support for Israel in the United States has reached historic lows.
A Gallup poll in July found that 32 percent of Americans approve of the Israeli campaign in Gaza, while 60 percent disapprove, a 10 percent drop in support from the previous September.
Pew Research Center findings showed that a third of American adults (33 percent) say the country sends Israel too much military aid, a larger portion of the population than those who say the US provides the right amount (23 percent) or not enough (8 percent).
A majority of Americans hold a negative view of Israel and report being “extremely” or “very” concerned about its military strikes killing Palestinian civilians and about starvation among Palestinians in Gaza.
A New York Times/Siena poll revealed that there are slightly more Americans who sympathise with the Palestinians than those who sympathise with Israel.
Israel’s popularity crisis is particularly acute among young Americans, with only nine percent of those aged 18 to 34 backing Israel’s military action in the Strip. Forty-two percent of those in the 18 to 29 cohort say the US grants Israel too much military aid, compared to 21 percent whose opinion is that the US is giving the right amount or too little.
One influential ghoul after another – from Hillary Clinton to wealthy tech investors and members of Congress – has attributed this shift to TikTok, as if American youth are incapable of independently concluding that it is wrong to repeatedly set fire to tents filled with displaced persons.
Amid the decline in pro-Israel sentiment, which is functionally the same as a decline in support for US imperialism in and beyond the Middle East, the US ruling class is aggressively asserting control over powerful media organs.
Control of the narrative
On 25 September, US President Donald Trump issued an executive order mandating that for TikTok to continue operating in the US, one or more Americans had to own the majority of the platform.
Trump’s actions, it is worth noting, build on the Biden administration’s approach to TikTok, which also called for US control of the app, a position with bipartisan support in Congress.
Accordingly, a group of US investors led by the software firm Oracle is taking control of 65 percent of TikTok.
Oracle is set to oversee TikTok’s US operations, provide cloud services for user data storage and secure a licence to take charge of the app’s algorithm.
Oracle founder Larry Ellison is one of the top donors to the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF), a US nonprofit that effectively subsidises the Israeli military. He has said that he feels a “deep emotional connection to the State of Israel” and “we”, seemingly a reference to Oracle, will “do everything we can to support the country of Israel”.
A similar process has unfolded in traditional news media. In August, the Ellison family’s media company, Skydance – an outfit financially supported by Larry Ellison and run by his son, David – acquired Paramount, a movie studio that owns CBS and a host of cable channels.
Bari Weiss, a talentless behind-kisser and tattle-tale passionately opposed to free speech and to Palestinian freedom, has been named CBS News’s editor-in-chief.
Now, the Ellison family has its sights set on Warner Bros Discovery, which owns HBO, TBS and CNN.
Media capture
While there is ample space for pro-Palestine messaging on TikTok, it is not as if traditional news outlets like CBS have a record of supporting Palestinian liberation.
CBS, like all major corporate media in the United States, far more often than not produces content favourable to US-Israeli objectives in West Asia.
For example, in the last year, the CBS News website ran 2,575 stories that mention Gaza, with only 388 containing the word “genocide”.
In other words, in a period that mostly predates the Ellison-Weiss regime, only 15 percent of the site’s Gaza coverage mentioned the crime of crimes, even as one credible source after another has concluded that Israel has carried out a genocide in the Strip.
Thus, CBS News already had a record of what I have previously called genocide denial by omission, a form of media distortion that helps enable genocide by reducing the likelihood that enough of the American population will accurately understand that their government is party to an extermination campaign to bring it to a halt.
CNN, for its part, helped manufacture consent for the Gaza genocide by making pro-Israel propaganda its official policy.
What the latest developments in the media landscape represent are, as with so much else in the Trump era, a movement towards vulgar, unabashed assertions of raw power that dispense with the typically hollow and hypocritical pretences of an open and democratic society that characterised America’s recent past.
Losing legitimacy
The American state and the billionaires it serves know that they cannot win the Palestine-Israel debate, and they see that their colonial outpost is rapidly losing perceived legitimacy.
Trying to stamp out content that makes Israel and the US look bad by occasionally giving audiences a partial glimpse of US-Zionist barbarism in Palestine is a sign of desperation rather than strength.
The gambit will not work.
Media outlets do not operate in a vacuum, and people are not empty vessels that news firms can simply fill with whatever they like.
Israel’s image cannot be restored, and neither can that of the US ruling class, certainly not among young people who won’t soon forget their peers being suspended, expelled or chewed up by the US’s merciless deportation machine.
They won’t soon forget their colleges turning riot cops against them or putting snipers on the roofs of school buildings during pro-Palestine student protests. They won’t soon forget the mainstream media lying to them while Palestinian journalists showed them the grieving parents whose bereavement was enabled by western, and especially American, taxpayers.
If the Gaza “ceasefire” holds, the international movement in solidarity with Palestine may lose some of its energy in the West.
However, even if the frequency of mass demonstrations in western cities dwindles, the organisations and alliances formed after 7 October are not all going to disappear.
Indeed, many of these formations predate 2023, with the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement having established nodes around the world and achieved numerous successes since its inception in 2005.
That institutional memory cannot be erased by media manipulation, nor can the experience, political organising skills and self-confidence that pro-Palestine activists have gained by fighting, and sometimes winning, through 20 years of BDS or two years of resisting genocide.
shocking’ women and girls safety figures getting ‘ much worse’ warns former UK security boss
Story by Lotti OBrien • 11h •
The former head of the UK’s security agency is urging police to do more to keep girls and young women safe as she warned over rising levels of violence and street arracks.
. Felicity Oswald, former chief executive said police are not doing enough to protect girls and women from migrant attacks
Women will not go out at night, they wont even drive at night, and many kids going to school now carry knives
the sexual attacks by migrants at Epping have been hightlighted but many others have had news suppressed
I have only one thing to say about Yids and it goes like this, Tod Dem Juden you Vermin.
“They won’t soon forget the mainstream media lying to them…”
It’s the first thing they WILL forget, count on it.
The way college kids gassed at peace marches forgot about Vietnam the minute the draft was ended. The way OccupyWall Street forgot everything after they were run out of town. The way 911 Truthers were kicked to the curb by EVERY outfit dispensing news, large or small,
The regime is just consolidating itself. They cannot lose under current rules.
And only a major event can change the rules…
Instead of polls telling you how many lick jew arse, what you need are polls telling you why. Money is the main thing, obviously, but there are endless hoards of them who don’t get any benefit – all white self-proclaimed “christians”. Why do they believe everything the jew tells them? Why do they spout antishitmetic every time someone says holohoax? Why do videos of children being machine-gunned by jews have no effect on them? Why do they think it’s “conspiracy” that everything is owned by the jew? Why did they switch from being what they were before black-lives-mattered to the tranny-loving nation-destroying turds they now are? Because from the other side, they all look like brainwashed psychos.
F**k Israel, F**k jews, and F**k those trying to cover for them. The world had it with these demons long ago and they can threaten us all they wish but they will LOSE the war.
Send in the Giddyup 32 per cent, cause nothing says shot (DOA) like a fake 32% poll. Wasn’t Joe polling 32 (for months), or was it Kackula? Just once they should try 28, or an even just a more realistic number (13?). They could even try some influencers’ pictured with a $7,000 check, and propaganda written in on the memo line. In any case, beating this dead horse across the finish line ain’t happening with that old 32 %. Whadda they think we are, 3 card monty suckers?
What’s next, a color revolution in Venezuela??? Geez, get some self-respect anyway…
“… or not enough (8 percent).” — There you go folks; the true jew infestation of the U.S.

“Media outlets do not operate in a vacuum, and people are not empty vessels that news firms can simply fill with whatever they like.”
Can’t help thinking that the Jiby-Jab was designed to make people forget matters of right and wrong and good and bad.
I hope God fills these young ones with His holy spirit so that they can recognize the crimes committed by the Moloch monsters in occupied Palestine.
Looks like this is happening and the young are not being fooled, anymore.

Gaza: A living necropolis, with Dorotea Gucciardo
Twenty-five months into a genocide and under continued siege and blockade, Gaza is a “living necropolis,” Dr. Dorotea Gucciardo of the medical solidarity organization Glia tells The Electronic Intifada Podcast.
The Gaza government media office stated on 6 November that 28 percent of the expected and needed aid has entered Gaza since the 10 October “ceasefire,” confirming, they say, that “the occupation continues its policy of strangulation, starvation, humanitarian pressure and political blackmail against more than 2.4 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.”
Meanwhile, the winter months are approaching, and Israel is still blocking the entry of shelter materials, construction items and heavy machinery to clear the millions of tons of rubble.
Gucciardo, who speaks to us from Gaza, says that she was supposed to return to Gaza earlier this year, but was denied twice before being allowed in. The experience, she explains, “was emblematic of the experience of a lot of health workers trying to come in to provide aid, where the Israelis are rejecting about 50 percent of applicants at any given time.”

“Influencers”, eh? What the whirled really needed for that group of reeking shit-rags pictured at the top was for a squad of Einsatzgruppen to burst into the room wielding shotguns, flame-throwers, and hatchets then use those tools for their intended purposes.
Then there is the utterly evil, criminally insane Satanyahoo, for whom no punishment could possibly be considered too cruel, unusual, or painful. That festering shit-stain on the fabric of humanity deserves nothing but to experience paralyzing fear and excruciating pain every second of his existence.
Like I say, ad nauseam, it’s the JEW MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The entire problem could be solved if enough people would read and *comprehend* some fairly simple books and papers, which explain in clear terms, the working of what is called “money and finance.” It’s all so simple that scary terms like that are used to direct our attention away from it so that “billionaires ” can utilize it to run ponzi schemes and three-card-Monty scams on the general population.
Gottfried Fedor explained it as the difference between to graphs, the first graph meandering up and down over time. This graph shows normal business activity: sometimes you are up, sometimes you are down; this too will pass.
The second graph represents the progress of usury-finance capital: it may start of low, going along for quite awhile as not overly high, but eventually, it begins to rise…and then more and more…until suddenly, there is a sharp, upwards curve, like a Hockey stick, and it soars straight up…”forever.” THIS is the ‘national debt’ model that the international tribe has now imposed upon all but one or two nanion states in the world.
As that curve “prigresses,” your life becomes worth less and less, but the people running the scam have no worries because, your increasingly huge DEBT, representing their credit lent to you at compounding interest, is ‘money’ to them. In fact, it is the only money in existence, if the ‘economic zone’ in which you li e and work, enforces that debt-money as ‘legal tender.’
I know that the above is a bit complicated, and less fun to think about out than pornography. Don’t you wish there was a way to describe money in terms of sex, or at least the birds and the bees?
If there was, the world might be a much different place!
I am gonna weack my brain to develop an explanation of how money (or human economy) works, that incorporates sex, to at least some degree, so that readers will be motivated to pay attention. LOL. That’s a promise!
