How We Can Help Israel WIN the Ninth Front of the War Against Her
by Laura Densmore
Netanyahu recently said that Israel is engaged in a NINE-front war; the ninth front is the information war. He hit it right on target.
Jonathan Feldstein’s excellent article, A Tsunami of Christian Libels Against Israel gives us an inside and close-up look at this ninth war front: the Information War.
He lays out three disturbing false narratives (out-and-out lies) that have been pushed by the mainstream media.
This article had me thinking about two burning questions:
WHY are so many Christians (and even some of our leaders) believing these lies?
WHAT can be done about this?
I will return to these questions. Here are three false narratives (or three battles) in the information war:
MYTH #1: Israeli settlers set fire to a Christian Church in Taybeh
Why have Mike Huckabee and, later on, Lindsay Graham, been so quick on the draw to believe the lies and media spin accusing Israeli settlers of arson in Taybeh?
FACT: It was not Israeli “settlers” who set the fire, but Palestinian Arabs who were attacking Jews and setting fires. No church was “burned to the ground”, and it was Palestinian Arabs who set the fires at Taybeh.
MYTH #2: Israel is “Unwelcoming to Christians” as Visa Debate Escalates
In a real lapse of judgment and a show of poor ambassadorship skills, Mike Huckabee went on public record to say this:
Huckabee Threatens to Declare Israel Unwelcoming to Christians as Visa Dispute Escalates.
This is something that Huckabee should have handled privately in a closed-door meeting with the leaders of the Ministry of Interior. Going public with it by leaking it to the press only stirred the pot and added fuel to the fire for Israel’s detractors and enemies. I do not understand why he did this?
My prayer for Huckabee is that he would be a peace-maker and bridge-builder and use wisdom and discernment in handling these matters.
FACT: The visa issue only involved volunteer, work, and clergy visas, NOT tourist visas. Some 80 volunteer and clergy visas were being held up. The matter has since been resolved.
MYTH #3: Israel and the IDF are committing genocide against the Gazans and starving them to death
FACT: Hamas is behind the crisis in Gaza. Truckload after truckload of food aid has been stolen by Hamas and then sold on the black market. Right now, more than 1000 trucks full of food and medicine are inside Gaza, just sitting in a big lot, not being delivered to the Gazans. Why? Because the United Nations refuses to pick it up. See The Truth About the Food Crisis in Gaza by Hananya Naftali for the full report.
I return to the question: Why are some Christians, and even some of our leaders, so easily “snookered” into believing these vicious lies, half-truths, and propaganda about Israel and the Jewish people?
I believe it is an issue of the heart. If someone already has a leaning towards anti-semitism and Jew hatred in their heart, they are more likely to jump onto the bandwagon of lies against Israel.
“A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45
Netanyahu recently said that Israel is engaged in a nine-front war; the ninth front is the information war. He hit it right on target.
As the Hamas organization is on its deathbed, it is using its dying breath for what it does best: push back against Israel on the ninth war front with all the Pallywood fake news, lies, propaganda, and media spin against Israel.
Those who write articles and put out videos spewing lies against Israel are coming from a place of Jew hatred in their hearts. Those who consume these lies come into alignment with the lies, believing them to be true. Perhaps it is time for people to do some honest and sober self-reflection: Why do I hate the Jews? Why do I hate Israel? Why do I believe these lies as truth?
And now I come to the second burning question: what can we do about all the lies, propaganda, and false accusations being brought against Israel that we see in the news?
DON’T GIVE THEM YOUR BUSINESS. DON’T GIVE THEM ONE MINUTE OF YOUR TIME. DON’T CONSUME THE RUBBISH BEING SPEWED FROM “ALL THE USUAL SUSPECTS”.
I look to both Jewish and Christian journalists who LIVE in Israel, who have boots on the ground there, and who I consider to be RELIABLE and TRUSTWORTHY news sources.
These sources include:
*JNS News on the web and JNS TV on Youtube
*Israel365 news
*TBN Israel with Yair Pinto and Mati Shoshani
*The Israel Guys
*All Israel News
*Jerusalem Dateline on CBN
*Rosenberg Report
*ILTV Israel News
*Hananya Naftali
*Aliyah Return Center with Chaim Malespin
*Amir Tsarfati on Telegram
Here is the conclusion of the matter. If I see a negative report about Israel, it’s probably NOT TRUE. Remember, we are in an INFORMATION WAR…don’t let the lies take up any more rent space in your mind or thoughts!
Here are the TRUTHS about Israel that will bring purity and clarity to the muddy waters.
These truths come straight from the heart of God as revealed in the holy scriptures:
TRUTH #1: Israel is the apple of God’s eye
For the LORD’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the place of His inheritance.
“He found him in a desert land
And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;
He encircled him, He instructed him,
Deuteronomy 32:9-10
For thus says the LORD of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you (Israel) touches the apple of His eye.” Zechariah 2:9
TRUTH #2: Israel will NEVER CEASE to be a nation
Thus says the LORD,
Who gives the sun for a light by day,
The ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night,
Who disturbs the sea,And its waves roar
(The LORD of hosts is His name):
“If those ordinances depart
From before Me, says the LORD,
Then the seed of Israel shall also cease
From being a nation before Me forever.”
Thus says the LORD:
“If heaven above can be measured,
And the foundations of the earth searched out beneath,
I will also cast off all the seed of Israel
For all that they have done, says the LORD. Jeremiah 31:35-37
TRUTH #3: The Land and People of Israel will be RESTORED, REPOPULATED, REBUILT, and BLESSED:
But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are about to come. For indeed I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you shall be tilled and sown. “I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt. “I will multiply upon you, man and beast; and they shall increase and bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings. Then you shall know that I am the LORD. Ezekiel 36:8-11
By the way, the mention of “mountains of Israel” refers DIRECTLY to the heartland of Israel, to biblical Judea and Samaria (formerly known as “The West Bank”).
I am OVERJOYED with the recent decision from the Knesset: Historic Decision: The Knesset Supports Israeli Sovereignty in Judea and Samaria This is a decision that LINES UP with the Word of God. No more giving up land in exchange for peace!
TRUTH #4: Any nation that comes against Israel is also coming against the God of Israel
“For behold, in those days and at that time,
When I bring back the captives of Judah and Jerusalem,
I will also gather all nations,
And bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat;
And I will enter into judgment with them there
On account of My people, My heritage Israel,
Whom they have scattered among the nations;
They have also divided up My land. Joel 3:1-2
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:2-3
Let’s all help Israel WIN the ninth front of this war: the Information/media war. Let’s be truth seekers, and go to reliable, credible eye-witness news sources. And, the greatest truths of all about the land and people of Israel are found in the bible!
