Genocide is a difficult crime to cover up and a difficult crime to justify, which is why Zionists expend considerable resources training recruits to be impervious to human feeling, logic, or evidence. Their networks are extensive in every country in which there is an organized Zionist movement. 

Listen to Harvard professor Ruth Wisse extolling the virtues of radicalizing young Jews, from the point of view of the Zionist entity:

“Our job is not to make you look good American Jews, what do you have to worry about? Your job is to make us look good and here’s how you do it. Every one of us has to serve three years in the army, two years in the army, some of us five years.  And then for the rest of our lives, you have got to serve two or three years in the army of words. You’ve got to learn to fight the political battle, which is even more important at this point than the military battle”.

There are many ways in which the “army of words” is supported by the regime. Lobby group "Israel Under Fire" provides guidance advising that:

DO share images of the hostages

DO share photos of our soldiers

In humane moments

 

DO NOT explain "Israel’s" policy

The issue here is not the Israeli-Palestinian struggle as a whole. It is very difficult for us to win there.

 

DO NOT respond to anti-Israelis

who seek to draw the discourse into a discussion about the Israel-Palestinian struggle as a whole. Instead, focus on the hostages, the elderly and children, the pain and suffering endured here.

The killing fields for the “army of words” are, therefore, the overall context of the struggle as settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing, and genocide – it is, as they say, very difficult for them to win here. The advice is to keep the messages of the “army of words” to suffering and pain, in a word -  victimhood.

And so they try and recruit from the grassroots. Back in 2009, at the Global Forum for Combatting Antisemitism, which has been planning the strategy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for many years, it was proposed:

“The fight needs to be horizontal, not hierarchical – what we use to call ‘grassroots’ empowering college students to get involved using their skills, their media, their networks to push back… the fight should be hysterical”.

There has certainly been hysteria in abundance in the past month. 

It is worth noting that among those present at the discussion of BDS in 2009 was the young president of the National Union of Students in the UK, now better known as British MP Wes Streeting. Streeting has been the focus of a series of protests in recent weeks including a school pupil boycott of a school Assembly at which Streeting spoke and outside his constituency office on November 5 and November 18 over his refusal to endorse a ceasefire in Gaza. Streeting has been a Zionist partisan since at least 2009.

Back in 2002, a Hasbara Handbook was produced by the World Union of Jewish Students; a grouping that is affiliated to the World Zionist Organization and has as members the Zionist student groups in each member nation such as the Union of Jewish Students in the UK.

It advised students that, when leveling the charge of antisemitism is difficult, ‘it is often worth expressing personal upset, saying that one was “hurt, as a Jew” by the controversial act.'

The invitation to be “hysterical” and claim “hurt” is backed up with large quantities of cash.

The "Israel on Campus Coalition" was busted for offering $250 to students to turn out for the 14 November pro-genocide rally in Washington DC. To get 4,000 students to the demo would have cost $1,000,000, but the total budget has not been disclosed. All we know is that the budget was exhausted since the "ICC" posted a message acknowledging that the fund was now fully subscribed.

Social media influencers were also offered $5,000 to support "Israel", as one revealed, “This was an email I received offering $5,000 to go live and show my support for Israel."

But no amount of money can change the reality of the ongoing genocide in Gaza and no army of words can erase the struggle of the Palestinians for liberation and decolonization.

Meanwhile, over in the UK, it is not only the British government that is directly supporting the killing in Gaza but also significant numbers of a newly visible cohort of what we might call British Jews for Genocide. They are everywhere in the organized Jewish community, which is overwhelmingly Zionist.

British Zionist organizations have been falling over themselves to pledge support for "Israel" after the start of the genocide on October 7. The JC published a list of groups for readers to donate money to “help Israel”.

The main Zionist groups have all rallied to support the Zionist entity in its full genocide, such as the Zionist Federation, the "United Jewish Israel Appeal," and the Jewish National Fund - each of which is a core element of the Zionist movement. 

Even many synagogues are supporters of Zionist extremism. Here is the United Synagogue promoting a young settler who, while in the UK, is helping to build support for the occupation forces, which are directly engaged in genocide.

“I did my national service last year [in the UK] … Now I’m stuck [in the UK] because of the war. People cope with it in all different ways. The way I cope with it is by making cakes and goods for soldiers… If I have one message for you guys it’s please stay strong, continue praying. We’ve got this. We’re hopeful and I’m looking forward to coming back to you guys and telling you we’ve managed. We won”.

The United Synagogue is the largest of five main synagogue movements in the UK catering largely to Ashkenazi Jews – often described as “modern” or “central” orthodox. It proudly claims to be “Zionist” on its website.

It’s also clear that supporting the radicalization of Jewish youth in the UK to recruit them to join the genocidal Israel occupation forces as foreign fighters is a core element of British Zionist strategy. The so-called “lone soldier” program for 16-year-olds and above is promoted to young Jews on campus and even in schools.

Young Jews are fed into this program by a more general indoctrination program called Masa Journey, which is promoted by the Union of Jewish Students on UK campuses.

One UK participant in the "lone soldier" programme was the daughter of the revisionist Zionist extremist David Collier who is a core part of the Zionist regime troll network in the UK. He has recently traveled to occupied Palestine to continue legitimizing genocide on behalf of the regime.

Zionism is not just a problem for the Palestinians. It is a problem for every country with an organized Zionist movement.
