Friends: Here’s how I sounded. I published this long ago, back in 2004. (See below.) Does anyone remember this? Is anyone who is now blogging and podcasting aware that something like this was written? Please read it now. There’s so much more where that came from. Ah, well. I also called non-stop for an Iron Dome Against the Anti-Israel Propaganda, beginning in 2010, probably sooner. I continued to do so ever since. Just yesterday, Ronald Lauder called for an Iron Dome Against the Propaganda--but the year is now 2026. Mr. Lauder: I really hate to say this, but we are now too late to this Great Game. By now, the internet has been carefully mined with disinformation against Israel by both Islamists and their many useful idiots in the West. There was not a single entry concerning Israel/Palestine that did not present the anti-Zionist point of view. Not one. The online information that people are relying upon is toxic. So: What else can be done at this time? Cognitive warriors did our best all throughout the 21st century. We documented. We analyzed. It did not matter--except to us and for the historical record. Please come up with some other plans. Earlier today, a canny Israeli editor wondered whether Iran will again close the Strait of Hormuz a week before the American midterms. An even cannier American lawyer said that, due to early voting, perhaps they’ll do so a month before those elections. What’s to stop them? Quo Vadis America--and the World? https://www.phyllis-chesler.com/articles/jews-on-the-precipice
