The Arab Propaganda Machine –

Shapes World Public Opinion

World Public Opinion is the force behind Israeli leaders making decisions, concessions, and policies that no sovereign government in the world would ever make. World Public Opinion is bringing Israel to her knees. The promoter of this world public opinion is the well coordinated, super financed Arab world community. History is being rewritten on campuses, in encyclopedias, and in politics.

Read on, put 2 and 2 together!

For the last 13 years we have all been watching how Israeli soldiers hide behind jeeps while getting stoned and fire bombed. This is not because the Israeli army is weaker than it was 20 years ago. It is a direct result of the power of World Public Opinion. World public opinion has developed such a far-reaching long arm that its strength has come to determine the behavior of a single soldier in the street, in Jerusalem, Hebron, or even Yaffo and Haifa – of late.

The Arab cause has never gained ground by way of their somewhat unorganized fighting machine – their armies – they have always lost. They have, however, recognized and developed the most powerful well-oiled, well-organized modern fighting machine ever known - World Public Opinion. They have, over the years, become masters at feeding and controlling this medium. So competent, they even have Jews expounding the Arab cause, publicly denouncing Israel - the result is what we see every day in the news footage.

Of the many strategies used by the Arabs to fuel this machine there is one - seemingly innocuous one - that goes almost totally unnoticed and unfettered, but whose power is awesome and has, over recent years, contributed more to the forming of world public opinion than anything else. Seemingly systematically, public gatherings across North America - many times on university campuses - are used to explain their version of the issues. These gatherings are usually in the guise of an impartial attempt to show both sides of the conflict. They have been most successful because they use an “objective” third party that is “knowledgeable.” These “knowledgeable” parties have been, amongst others, university professors, fledging film producers, and more astonishing - Jews that have chosen to champion the Arab cause. The Arabs have created a brilliant system where-by they plant seeds, nurture them, and feed them - all with an eerie patience - eerie, because they know that time is on their side.

Recently I attended one of these gatherings at Dalhousie University in Halifax. The focal point of the gathering was a documented movie created by a young Canadian (whose name I will not mention so as not to provide him the fame he seeks at the expense of the Jews) and funded by the Canadian National Film Board. The film was a series of interviews of Lebanese and Israeli “Palestinians”, Jewish Israelis, and at least one Israeli politician. Although the official theme of the film was an unbiased approach to the conflict, much inaccurate and outright disinformation was used, and it was plain that all interviewees were hand-chosen to push home one idea - the total delegitimatization of Israel’s existence.

In the packed university theatre the attendance was comprised of about 65% Arabs. The majority of the remaining 35% seemed to be Arab supporters and truly unbiased and sincere young people and students that were there to learn “both sides of the story” - many for whom this was their first encounter with “documentary truth.” The remainder smattering were made up of about 8 Jews.

The atmosphere during the Q&E after the film was totally hostile (toward the Jews) and any views put forth by the Jewish representation were blatantly laughed off by the audience and dismissed by films director and creator with a wave of the hand (one lone Jewish student was so intimidated that she was afraid to speak). This may not seem serious. After all, the real focal point, the real target audience of this entire escapade was only the handful of sincere Canadian students and young wanting to know the truth. What they got was “documentary” material that will become for them the basis upon which their opinions are formed - public opinion!! in the making!

While there was a blatantly organized attendance of Arab representatives, there was next to no Jewish representation - hence the good-intentioned Canadian students were left to hear the “whole story” - which in fact was only half . You may wonder and say “well, what is a smattering of students when it comes to the affairs of the State of Israel and world Jewry what can they matter? What can they do”? What Jews are failing to see and understand is that these students will become teachers, professors, news reporters, and politicians. The students of twenty and ten years and five years ago are already at work expounding the Arab cause - teaching and reporting and politicizing, speaking of massacres that never took place and borders that never were - re-writing history! This is how the Arabs are winning what they have not been able to take by force over the last hundred years. It is the methodical, patient indoctrination of the world to push their cause the delegitimization of Israel and her ultimate destruction.
