Deceiving the elect
We are witnessing the rise of a post-Nazi anti-Semitism on steroids. This resuscitated Jew-hatred operates as a shapeshifter, hiding its true intent and strategies behind three demonic masks. The first shield behind which neo-anti-Semitism lurks, openly states that is is not anti-Semitic, but ‘only’ anti-Israeli and anti-Zionist. One example recently seen on the internet comes from a Christian former pastor, a self-described ‘strong supporter of Israel’, who comments with a sneer that “it seems that the once-oppressed Jews have become the oppressors.”
The second demonic mask draws on Patristic and Medieval anti-Semitic roots, accusing the Jewish people of ‘poisoning the wells’: drinking blood, murdering children and being active pedophiles, controlling the world, its banks and its media; being willing agents of occult forces, etc. Such names like SSPX, Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and Charles Lindbergh come to mind.
The third demonic mask regurgitates pagan anti-Semitism, similar to what Borat sarcastically uncovered in a Texas honky-tonk in his parody video clip ‘Throw the Jew down the well’.
And sometimes neo-anti-Semitism is simply not hiding anymore. Two such recent examples: the ‘pro-Palestinian’ anti-Semitic mass marches on August 3, 2025 in Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, whose participants glorified ISIS, Hamas, Nazism, the terrorist regime of Iran, and the burning of Australia’s national flag; another such example is from Canada, where non-Jewish Paul Finlayson penned a recent article titled ‘Today, in Canada, it is like Nazi Germany in the 1930’s’.
Messiah Yeshua spoke about how one of the benchmarks of the onset of the Last Days would be a tsunami of deception which could mislead even the elect:
- “And as Yeshua was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, ‘Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?’ (Matthew 24:3). Messiah Yeshua noted that events at the end of this age would be so deceptive that they would have the ability “to mislead, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24).
The world has entered into a sober season of deception, where even those who felt that they have a politically correct view of Israel are being seduced into full-blown anti-Semitism. An Islamistically resuscitated Hitlergeist (German for ‘Hitler-spirit’) has floated up from beneath the cobblestones of medieval Germany, paving the way for a repeat of the ‘Endlösung der Judenfrage’ (the ‘Final Solution of the Jewish Question’).
Body of lies
US State Senator Mallory McMorrow, recently said of Israeli PM Netanyahu, “We cannot let this man tell us that what we are seeing with our own eyes is not what is actually happening.” The senator was most likely referring to what she watches on Main Stream Media (MSM) or reads in such heavily slanted anti-Israel propaganda like the New York Times. These media trumpets continually accuse Israel and the IDF of being villainous perpetrators of genocide for no reason, and of causing the starvation of Gaza’s civilian population as a weapon of war. What people are hearing and seeing on these news reports is to a large extent what military intelligence calls ‘PsyWars’ – psychological warfare engineered to influence opinions, emotions, attitudes and behavior.
Legacy media in the West is playing a strategic role as a propaganda mouthpiece for Hamas, which has been streaming fake news to them 24/7 at least since 2008. At a recent April 29, 2025 AJC Global Forum, award-winning former AP journalist Matti Friedman spoke for 75 minutes at a session titled, ‘Exposing Bias: The Truth Behind Media Coverage of Israel’. Friedman describes inter alia how in 2008 a Palestinian AP reporter released an article revealing that Hamas fighters were disguising themselves as civilians and were being counted as civilian casualties in the death tolls. Fake casualty lists with grossly inflated numbers and Hamas terrorists reclassified into ‘innocent civilians’ have been issued by Hamas as factual. “All of the reporters in Gaza are Palestinians,” Friedman notes. “Some of them identify with Hamas. Some of them are intimidated by Hamas…and the third category is people who actually belong to Hamas.” Yet Western media continues to quote casualty figures and battlefield assessments from the Hamas-run ‘Gaza Health Ministry’ as fact.
At that session Friedman noted: “What does that mean? You’ll see a lot of dead civilians and you won’t see dead militants. You won’t have a clear idea of what the Hamas military strategy is. And this is the kicker: the center of the [news item] coverage will be a casualty number that is provided to the press by something called the ‘Gaza Health Ministry’ which is Hamas. And we’ve been doing that since 2008. And it’s a way of basically settling the story before you get into any other information.” The fake casualty lists have driven political pressure on Israel in a major way since October 7, 2023.
Friedman points out that this anti-Semitic treatment of Israel is symptomatic of “something much bigger.” Western liberal institutions are being hollowed out by radical Leftist ideology: “My problems in the AP bureau 15 years ago were really… a canary in the coal mine. The transformation of the important liberal institutions of the West into a kind of activist arm of a very radical ideology [has happened] . . . [Universities, NGOs, and major newsrooms] – “they still have the logo, they still have the name, but they serve a different purpose.”
A recent example is a July 30 2025 Washington Post article, passing on a fake list compiled by the Gaza Health Ministry (which also functions as a media propaganda wing of Hamas) listing 18,000 ‘child casualties’. And here is a rebuttal article, bringing a helpful critique of the Washington Post’s ‘fake-news’ methodology.
Hamas regularly broadcasts descriptions of supposedly innocent targets hit by the IDF (mosques, hospitals, schools, UNRWA and UN facilities). These turn out either not to have been hit, or to actually have been Hamas bases, command-and-control centers, tunnel exits or ammunition depots. As well, Hamas is notorious for using Gazan civilians as human shields, always placing their rocket launchers and ammunition depots in the middle of civilian areas. These Hamas methods are defined in psyops scholar Robert Malone’s above-mentioned article as ‘advocacy journalism’, ‘emotional appeal’, ‘gray propaganda’, ‘infodemics’, ‘outrage porn’, and ‘repetitive messaging.’
One outstanding example of the above dynamics concerns a fake news item broadcast by Al Jazeera, Qatar’s pro-Hamas TV network. On the evening of October 14, 2023, a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket was mis-fired, landing in the courtyard of Gaza City’s Anglican Hospital ‘al Ahli al Mahadani’. and causing many casualties.
Hamas quickly moved to morph that event into a fake-news propaganda narrative. Within a few minutes, Al Jazeera began to trumpet that the devastation was due to a deliberate IDF bombing of the hospital. These reports were widely disseminated in virtually all major Western media stations and newspapers. All fact-checkers seemed to have suddenly gone on lunch break. Palestinian Authority President Abbas immediately accused Israel of a ‘horrible war massacre’ and called for three days of national mourning – something that Abbas had not done in response to Hamas’ October 7, 2023 massacre, mass rape, kidnapping and wounding of many thousands of Israelis. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi also called for three days of national mourning “to honor the innocent victims of the heinous attack”; “vehemently condemned Israel’s premeditated bombing.” He added that “such deliberate bombing represents a clear violation of international law and international humanitarian and legitimate principles.” El-Sisi also, like PLO leader Abbas, had not issued any condemnation of Hamas’ bestial murder and destruction of over 1,200 Israelis.
But all of a sudden, the news stream turned right around. IDF drone footage and SIGINT had intercepted a live transmission, recording two Islamic Jihad terrorists discussing the rocket misfire and describing it as an Islamic Jihad rocket failure. The IDF spokesman released these voice recordings, immediately countering Hamas’ blood-libel which was already recklessly snaking around the world, spread by legacy media. World media was on the job, believing and disseminating Hamas ‘fake news’ propaganda – just as they have been doing in recent days regarding fake news concerning false journalism about hunger/famine and wildly inflated civilian casualties in Gaza.
But back to October 14, 2023 and the falsely attributed Islamic Jihad rocket misfire in Gaza City. The false Hamas reports, labeling the Islamic Jihad rocket misfiring as an Israeli bombing attack, triggered violent demonstrations in various cities throughout the Islamic world, including Morocco, Tunis, the West Bank, Turkey, Baghdad, Iran and Yemen, as well as Amman, Jordan (where the Israeli Embassy was attacked) and Beirut (where the U.S. Embassy was attacked).
Brainwashing the West
Over the past few years America has seen a quickening merger of street Leftists and radical Democrats, Antifa and Woke activists, joining hands with anti-Semitic right-wingers who are much in line with famous aviator and Hitler aficionado Charles Lindbergh’s isolationist and anti-Semitic views. One recent example of this can be seen in Candace Owens’ New York Times op-ed page tweet on May 9, 2025: “This ultranationalist, messianic Israeli government is not America’s ally.”
American sympathies for Israel are somewhat in decline – a response to the deluge of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel media articles. An April 2025 Pew Research poll found that, while Republicans age 50+ remain staunchly pro-Israel, young adult Republicans have moved from 35% to 50% toward an ‘unfavorable’ view of Israel in the past three years.
MAGA Republicans such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene are outspokenly critical of the Jewish state, who stated on Monday, July 28: “It’s the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct 7th in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza. But a Jewish U.S. Representative calling for the continued starvation of innocent people and children is disgraceful. His awful statement will actually cause more antisemitism.”
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) tweeted on July 28, 2025: “Standing with Israel means eliminating every barbaric Hamas terrorist. It also means rejecting the killing and starvation of children in Gaza.”
Conservative media personality Megyn Kelly stated on July 28, 2025: “Whether it realizes it or not, Israel has made itself the villain of the world in letting this [Gaza war] go on so long. They have lost support among their dearest friends, the entire Democrat party here in the United States has turned against them, and they’re losing Republicans by the day here in America.”
Zechariah 14:2-3 and Joel 3:2 refer to all the nations coming against Jerusalem to conquer and divide it. Such scenarios may not be that far off if the US were to turn its support away from Israel.
Bring forth your evidence (Isaiah 41:21)
An increasing number of politicians and pastors stubbornly declare that famine, genocide and the slaughter of Gazan children is taking place at the hand of the IDF. Yet the photographic evidence to support Hamas’ claims is simply not available. The only actual internet photos of starving men on the verge of death are the Israeli victims of October 7, 2023, imprisoned underground for over 600 days in Hamas tunnels. So Hamas has been developing a media campaign of fake news photos to ‘support their claims.’ These propaganda fabrications have been willingly snapped up and splashed on front page news by Western media. Here are two examples of this:
https://x.com/JewsFightBack/status/1952871985559814529
https://x.com/OliLondonTV/status/1953011571485196478.
The New York Times on July 25, 2025 featured a front page photo of 18-month-old Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq with the caption: “Mohammed Zakaria al-Mutawaq, about 18 months, with his mother, Hedaya al-Mutawaq, who said he was born healthy but recently diagnosed with severe malnutrition. A doctor said the number children dying of malnutrition in Gaza had risen sharply.”
These photos also appeared in the UK’s Sky News, The Guardian (front page screaming “We have faced hunger before, but never like this”), The Daily Mail, and the Times of London – all with similar yellow journalism captions. The entire front page of the UK’s July 23 Daily Express newspaper, carried the headline: “FOR PITY’S SAKE STOP THIS NOW: The suffering of little Muhammad clinging on to life in Gaza hell shames us all.” The article added: “Hunger and suffering have reached a level never seen before in Gaza, with at least 12 children dying from malnutrition in the past 48 hours … It is now thought that one-third of Gaza’s 2.1 million population has not eaten for several days, while one quarter faces famine-like conditions, with 100,000 women and children suffering from acute malnutrition.”
But it turns out that this shocking ‘outrage porn’ photo with deep ‘emotional appeal’ is simply another example of Hamas’ brazen PsyWar. Investigative journalist David Collier published an exposé of Hamas’ fake news on July 27, 2025: ‘The truth behind the viral Gaza famine photo’: “This isn’t the face of famine. It’s the face of a medically vulnerable child whose suffering was hijacked and weaponized – first by Hamas, then by global media.”
Collier did some basic investigative journalism and discovered a medical report – signed by Dr Saeed Mohammed Al Nassan on 20th May 2025 and issued that May by the Basma Association for Relief in Gaza stating that Mohammed had been diagnosed with cerebral palsy – a group of neurological disorders affecting movement, muscle tone, and posture. The report noted that Mohammed suffers from hypoxemia (low oxygen in the blood), possibly linked to a suspected genetic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
The BBC aired a 64 second interview with Mohammed’s mother Huda Yassin Al-Matouq, but made no reference to the child’s severe and pre-existing medical condition – leaving the audience to believe that Mohammed’s heartbreaking physical condition was the result of Israel-caused famine. Collier states drily: “This is not journalism. This is the UK’s state media deliberately pushing a deceptive narrative that only serves to benefit Hamas and create fake news . . . Every journalist who has spoken to her has made the same cynical decision: ignore the medical reality, strip the context, and turn her child into a propaganda weapon. No one is trying to help. No one is interested in telling the truth. All they seem to ask is: “How can this image hurt Israel?” – and they build their coverage around that.”
Collier concludes: “Let’s call this what it is: The UN, UNRWA and other NGOs are not prioritizing the safety of Palestinian civilians or indeed getting aid to a population they maintain are in desperate and immediate need of food. Instead it seems, they are prioritizing a political agenda that aligns with – and thus ensures – the survival of Hamas. They’re not neutral. They’re enablers. The UN aid agencies won’t deliver aid – the journalists won’t do their jobs. When legacy media outlets become mouthpieces for radical Islamist groups — out of ideology, ignorance, or cowardice — it isn’t just a journalistic collapse – it’s a moral disgrace.”
The journalistic watchdog site ‘HonestReporting’ sums up this Gazan dynamic in their article ‘Another photo; another lie’ of July 27, 2025: “And then there’s the media. Time and again, they have run with unverified images and unchecked claims. No due diligence. No questions asked. Because these stories fit the narrative they want to tell – that Israel is waging a war against a helpless civilian population.”
Many other ‘fake news’ cases are out there. Here are two more examples of many available – where genetic illnesses are turned by Hamas into ‘fake news’ blaming Israel for enforced malnutrition: Abdul Qader al-Fayoumi (a genetic neurological disorder), and Osama al-Rakab (pre-existing severe genetic illness; flown by Israel to Italy on June 12 for medical treatment).
Hamas-Islamistic jihadi strategies
The Hamas jihadi terror group (both it and al Qa’eda are spinoffs of the Muslim Brotherhood) has ruled Gaza with an iron hand since 2006, murdering PLO members and just plain Gazans who refuse to submit to their Islamist dictatorship. Hamas’ terror pogrom of October 7, 2023 against Israeli kibbutzim, farms and towns had a Islamist strategy behind it, as Politburo member Ghazi Hamad stresses in an LBC TV (Lebanon) interview on October 24, 2023 regarding their jihadi atrocities:
- “We must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do this again and again. The Al-Aqsa Flood [Hamas’ name for the October 7 slaughter] is just the first time, and there will be a second, a third, a fourth, because we have the determination, the resolve, and the capabilities to fight. Will we have to pay a price? Yes, and we are ready to pay it. We are called a nation of martyrs, and we are proud to sacrifice martyrs . . . On October 7, October 10, October 1,000,000 – everything we do is justified!”
Since Hamas’ founding in 1987, the jihadi organization has been actively involved in murdering Israelis, using suicide bombers, bus bombs and the kidnapping and torturing of Israeli soldiers and civilians. They have constructed a vast subterranean beehive of tunnels in Gaza buried under schools, hospitals, mosques, UNRWA and UN centers, etc., from which they exit to fire rockets on Israeli civilians (over 19,000 since October 7, 2023 alone), to kidnap or lay IEDs, and to attack IDF forces. Using GoPro head cameras to track their every jihadi move, Hamas mujahidin (jihad warriors) raped, robbed, murdered, tortured and kidnapped their way through Israeli kibbutzim, farms, towns and small cities – broadcasting their atrocities live on social media for many hours. And now these same Hamas terrorists are holding and starving kidnapped Israelis in their terror-tunnels (using them as Islamist concentration camps) while, in a macabre form of gaslighting, both Hamas and world media accuse Israel of being the ones doing the starving – of ‘innocent Gazans.’
Hamas has pirated by force a little under 87% of all UN humanitarian aid and food sent in, for example, between May 19-July 29, 2025 (as per the UN website UNOPS). Hamas hides this freely-given aid in private Hamas-controlled warehouses, and most of it does not reach regular Gazans – unless they pay exorbitant bribes to Hamas’ thugs and terrorists. Hamas regularly murders Gazans who try to get their hands on humanitarian aid; a short stroll through Tik-Tok and YouTube will reveal many such video clips. Hamas is thus the primary blocker of food and medicine, and the primary cause of Gazan hardship. Hamas insists that all humanitarian aid coming from the USA, the EU, the UK, Jordan or Israel must be channeled through its own Islamist-mafioso hands. This control and extortion have made Hamas leaders billionaires at the expense of many Gazans living on the edge. Most of these leaders are very overweight – evidently the ‘starvation in Gaza’ has not affected them.

- Hamas’s blood-soaked billions: How does the terror group stay rich?
One unnamed American evangelical minister revealed his crass ignorance of these facts when he posted a vile comparison on the internet: he contrasted Hamas’ verified terror, murder, rape and kidnapping of Israelis (on the one hand) as comparable to verifiably false accusations leveled against Israel (on the other hand). He declared that the Jewish state is using “starvation as a weapon of war against a population who may or may not have even supported Hamas,” and that the IDF is responsible for “horrors visited upon the Palestinian people.”
Does Gaza support Hamas?
Up-to-date Palestinian surveys published by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (May 6, 2025) lay this minister’s false claim to rest:
- When asked if Hamas had committed the atrocities seen in the videos shown by international media displaying acts or atrocities committed by Hamas members against Israeli civilians, such as killing women and children in their homes: The overwhelming majority (87%) said Hamas did not commit such atrocities, and only 9% said it did
- When asked whether it supports or opposes the disarmament of Hamas in the Gaza Strip in order to stop the war on the Gaza Strip, an overwhelming majority (85% in the West Bank and 64% in the Gaza Strip) said it is opposed to disarmament
- China’s support for the Hamas/PLO cause received the highest popular Palestinian appreciation (26%), followed by Russia (21%), and the United States (3%)
- Between two candidates for a Palestinian state presidency, Khalid Mishal of Hamas would receive 68% and Mahmoud Abbas of PLO/Fatah would receive 25%
- 40% believe that Hamas is the most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people today while 19% believe that PLO/Fatah is the most deserving
- 57% oppose the Western concept of a two-state solution
- 41% believe that the first most vital Palestinian goal should be to end Israeli occupation in the areas occupied in 1967 and build a Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as its capital. 33% believe the first most vital goal should be the return of all Palestinian refugees to their 1948 towns and villages, taking over the state of Israel
Swallowing lies for 55 years
The West has been subject to a barrage of media lies advocating Palestinian jihadi goals since the early 1970’s. This onslaught has increased in intensity and virulence in recent years. More and more Westerners (in North America and Europe) have been hypnotized and deceived by Islamist Hamas, Qatar and their fellow-travelers. George Orwell once reputedly said: “In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” It is time to stand up and be counted; you will be heard above the noise!
How shall we then pray?
- Pray that Hamas’ jihadi plans to destroy Israel, to cause great casualties to the Jewish people, and to establish a Palestinian terror state in Gaza, Judea and Samaria will be nullified
- Pray that divine wisdom, strategies and discernment be given to the leaders of Israel and the USA regarding the red line of dividing the Land of Israel
- Pray for the raising up of Ezekiel’s prophetic Jewish army throughout the earth
Your prayers and support hold up our arms and are the very practical enablement of God to us in the work He has called us to do.
In Messiah Yeshua,
