The "you are not immune to propaganda" crowd really are the most confident idiots alive today

עם ישראל חי, אהבלים

For those who don't learn from history: Classic Soviet antisemitic political propaganda cartoons connecting "bourgeois nationalistic" Ukrainians with "Zionist" Jews.

Israeli soldier drinking with émigré Ukrainian. Bottles are signed "anti-Communism" and "anti-Soviet", with a radio microphone signed "Liberty"

A religious Jew and Ukrainian insurgent pulling the cart of the Cold War. Once again, "anti-Soviet", "Voice of America" and "Radio Liberty". Note David's Star mixed with Trident on a yoke (as well as $ coins under it)

"Ukrainian" wolf in tattered pants with "Israeli" fox, once again "anti-Communism" and "anti-Soviet" on their banners.

Communists have an old history of fighting the same nations and rehashing the same tried-and-tested propaganda. Just change some specifics to better fit modern audiences and their concerns. But not very much as antisemitism is still all about the same stuff at the end of the millenia...

The Anti-Israel Contradiction Machine: Where Every Lie Cancels the Last

Palestinian Hamas terrorists stand guard on the day of the handover of hostages held in Gaza since the deadly Oct. …

by Micha Danzig

It’s remarkable. The same activists who shout themselves hoarse at Western protests, who flood social media with memes and reels, somehow manage to hold two (or three, or ten) contradictory claims in their heads at once without blinking.

Like Soviet propagandists or Goebbels’ Ministry of Public Enlightenment, they rely on volume, not consistency. Because in propaganda, coherence is optional — but outrage is mandatory.

As Joseph Goebbels infamously put it: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” That is the strategy: not persuasion through reasoning, but relentless repetition.

Here’s a sampling from the Hamas-friendly, Israel-hating narrative machine:

Contradiction #1: Gaza — Prison or Paradise?

Before October 2023, Gaza was an “open-air prison” or even a “concentration camp.” But also, before October 7, it had many wonderful features — including being a “beautiful Mediterranean beachside paradise” — that Israel supposedly destroyed. Which is it? Concentration camp or paradise? Apparently both, depending on which slur works best.

Contradiction #2: Statehood or Extermination?

“Israel is a racist ethno-state.” But the same activists chant: “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” — and in Arabic, “Palestine will be Arab.” Destroying Israel and denying Jews the right to live on the land, in order to establish a 23rd Arab ethno-state is fine; but Jewish sovereignty in any form is racism.

Contradiction #3: Hostages? What Hostages?

“There were no hostages taken on Oct. 7.” Yet also: “Look how well Hamas treats the hostages!” So which is it — none taken, or proof of Hamas’ supposed hospitality?

Contradiction #4: Peace or Perpetual War?

“Ceasefire now!” they scream. But even in the same demonstrations: “Long live the Intifada!” and “Israel will soon be destroyed.” So, do they want peace — or endless war until Israel no longer exists?

Contradiction #5: Starvation Theater

“Israel is starving Palestinians.” Yet also: “Look how humiliating it is to make Palestinians line up for food.” And all the while, Gazan TikToks in the past few months have shown crowded restaurants, buzzing bakeries, and delicious dessert spreads.

Stained glass windows in the administrative building of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was one of the largest in the Soviet Union and the poster child of the Soviet nuclear power industry. As such, little expense was spared on details like these windows.

The Soviet Union often used motifs in abstract art to promote Communism and laude their successes.
