You had to go to a pretty weird bookstore to find global media and fringe media. But today we have social media, which is the global medium; its algorithms are shaped by billions of people worldwide who don\u2019t really love Jews. So while in the 1990s a young person probably wasn\u2019t going to find Al Jazeera or someone like Nick Fuentes, today those media outlets find them; they find them on their phones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s also this increasingly post-literate media; less and less text, more and more videos,\u201d Hurwitz continued. \u201cSo you have TikTok just smashing our young people\u2019s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza. And this is why so many of us cannot have a sane conversation with younger Jews, because anything that we try to say to them, they are hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments, and they are just seeing in their minds: carnage. And I sound obscene.\u201d<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The most insane part of this clip is when she claims that Holocaust education is problematic because today it is failing to make young Jews blindly love Israel, and instead, they are sympathizing with victims of racism, be they Black or Palestinian. What a wretched witch. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rFZxR5G4HQ\">https:\/\/t.co\/rFZxR5G4HQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Richard Medhurst (@richimedhurst) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/richimedhurst\/status\/1990896744670867742?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 18, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Hurwitz went on to say that Holocaust education has begun backfiring, because it has been giving young people the wrong impression that genocide is always bad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd you know I think unfortunately, the very smart bet that we made on Holocaust education to serve as anti-semitism education in this new media environment, I think that is beginning to break down a little bit because, you know, Holocaust education is absolutely essential, but I think it may be confusing some of our young people about antisemitism,\u201d Hurwitz said. \u201cBecause they learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews, and they think oh, antisemitism is like anti-black racism, right? Powerful white people against powerless black people. So, when on TikTok all day long, they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny Palestinians, it\u2019s not surprising that they think, Oh, I know the lesson of the Holocaust is you fight Israel. You fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hoo boy. Lots to unpack here.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just so fascinating to see a former White House speechwriter making so many of the points that anti-Zionists have been making for years, but taking the exact opposite meaning from them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The mainstream legacy media has always hidden anti-Israel views from the public\u200a\u2014\u200aand that was a good thing.<\/li>\n<li>Social media has now given Palestinians the ability to expose the truth about Israel\u2019s abuses\u200a\u2014\u200aand that\u2019s a bad thing.<\/li>\n<li>People aren\u2019t falling for the Zionist spin and narrative-diddling anymore because they\u2019ve seen the carnage in Gaza with their own eyes\u200a\u2014\u200aand that\u2019s a problem.<\/li>\n<li>People who learned from Holocaust education that genocide is wrong have been applying those same lessons to the genocide in Gaza\u200a\u2014\u200aand this means they\u2019re \u201cconfused\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hurwitz isn\u2019t denying Israel\u2019s abuses or framing its genocidal atrocities as the problem, she\u2019s just coming right out and saying that people obtaining information and moral clarity about those abuses is the problem. The atrocities aren\u2019t wrong, what\u2019s wrong is people seeing those atrocities and calling them what they are.<\/p>\n<p>I love the way she complains that she looks \u201cobscene\u201d for trying to lay out arguments and narratives justifying the Gaza holocaust for people who\u2019ve seen the \u201cwall of carnage\u201d from the genocide. I mean, yes. Yes obviously you\u2019re going to look obscene if you try to tell someone why raw video footage of massacres, mutilated children and emaciated bodies is actually showing something that is justifiable and acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t stand in front of a pile of child corpses justifying their murder and then whine when people ignore your spinmeistering and keep staring at the tiny bodies. That\u2019s like murdering an entire family and then telling the cops, \u201cBut you\u2019re not listening to my reasons for killing them!\u201d They\u2019re doing the normal thing while you are being obscene.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WZMxSJNQjJE?si=mc__PJzFQ5ESpsgh\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WZMxSJNQjJE\">Video Link<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/infolibnews\/status\/1990634043218534790\">viral clip<\/a> of this tirade going around Twitter and I was curious if Hurwitz had said anything after the video segment ended which might have made what she said sound less horrible, so I went to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WZMxSJNQjJE&amp;t=563s\">the original video<\/a> on the Jewish Federations of North America\u2019s Youtube channel, and nope. It didn\u2019t get any better.<\/p>\n<p>Hurwitz went on to say that people are wrong to carry the lessons of Holocaust education into opposition to Israel\u2019s genocidal atrocities because the Holocaust was Nazi Germany blaming Jews for all their problems in the same way people think Israel is the source of all the world\u2019s problems today.<\/p>\n<p>She then mourned the way western Jews \u201cre-imagined Judaism as a Protestant-style religion\u201d in order to integrate into western society rather than retaining a strong identity that is loyal to the state of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe problem is, we\u2019re not just a religion,\u201d Hurwitz said. \u201cWe\u2019re a nation. Civilization. Tribe. Peoplehood. But most of all we\u2019re a family. And so if you are a young person raised in America who thinks Judaism is a Protestant-style religion, then the seven million Jews in Israel are merely your co-religionists. So my co-religionists, if I look at them and they\u2019re not practicing my religion of social justice and certain prophetic values then what do I have to do with them?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that\u2019s a category error,\u201d says Hurwitz. \u201cThe seven million people in Israel, they are not my co-religionists, they are my <strong><em>siblings<\/em><\/strong>. But I think if you think of them as merely your co-religionists, it\u2019s easy to slide into anti-Zionism. You don\u2019t necessarily have that connection to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hurwitz is saying here that Jews around the world should be loyal to Israel no matter what Israel does, not because that\u2019s the moral or truthful position but because Israel is where their loyalties belong.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but if my siblings were murdering civilians I would immediately become their enemy. I wouldn\u2019t defend my brother if he was going around shooting children in the head like IDF snipers <a href=\"https:\/\/caitlinjohnstone.com.au\/2024\/10\/10\/israeli-snipers-routinely-deliberately-shoot-palestinian-kids-in-the-head\/\">have been doing in Gaza<\/a>, in fact I would feel a special responsibility to stop him exactly because he is my brother. Genocide doesn\u2019t magically become acceptable if the perpetrators are your \u201csiblings\u201d, unless you are a sociopath.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just incredible how hard Zionists have been <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/caitoz\/status\/1917360195547848737\">freaking out<\/a> about the way Israel has lost control of the narrative these last two years. More and more often we\u2019re seeing them say the quiet parts out loud as they frantically scramble to manage perceptions and manipulate minds around the world.<\/p>\n<p>Many things which used to be hidden are finding their way into the light.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unz.com\/cjohnstone\/zionists-are-freaking-out-about-losing-control-of-the-narrative\/\">Source\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They may own or control most of the mainstream media but with the advent of social media the Zionists have lost control of the narrative<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-318764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary","category-Israel_Anti-Semitism_Zionism_and_US-UK_allies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=318764"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318764\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":318765,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318764\/revisions\/318765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=318764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=318764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=318764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
