Social Media Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 What initially seemed like expressions of dissent have taken a darker turn, revealing a coordinated effort by extremist groups to sow discord and promote their agenda under the guise of activism. The incidents at Columbia University, where demonstrators openly voiced support for terrorist organizations and disrupted the Easter vigil at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, are just the tip of the iceberg. Behind these seemingly spontaneous outbursts lies a carefully orchestrated campaign to leverage public sentiment and influence policy decisions. What's most concerning is the lack of attention given to the protesters' demands, which go beyond calls for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. Instead, these demonstrations serve as platforms for extremist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis to push their radical ideologies and incite violence against Israel and its supporters. Delving deeper into the origins of these protests reveals a disturbing trend of collaboration between known terrorist organizations and activists in the West. Hamas, for example, has a long-standing strategy of using social media and public demonstrations to sway Western public opinion and pressure governments into aligning with their agenda. This strategy was evident during the Israel-Gaza war in 2014 when Hamas issued guidelines to its social media activists on how to frame events for a Western audience. Fast forward to today, and we see a similar playbook being used, with official statements from Hamas and other jihadist groups mirroring the rhetoric of protesters on the streets of Western cities. Moreover, senior leaders of these terrorist organizations openly acknowledge the importance of these protests in shaping U.S. and Western policy towards Israel. Whether it's Khaled Mashal urging supporters to take to the streets or Hassan Nasrallah praising the political activity of American Muslims, there's a concerted effort to exploit civil unrest for strategic gain. But the collaboration doesn't stop there. Extremist groups are actively grooming activists in the U.S. and the West through various channels, including meetings, online interviews, and podcasts. This symbiotic relationship between terrorists and Western activists poses a significant threat, as it blurs the lines between legitimate protest and terrorist propaganda. The consequences of this collaboration are far-reaching. By legitimizing extremist ideologies and providing a platform for their dissemination, these protests contribute to a climate of intolerance and violence. Moreover, they undermine efforts to achieve a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by demonizing one side and inflaming tensions. In light of these developments, it's imperative that authorities and civil society organizations remain vigilant and address the root causes of extremism. This includes cracking down on the financing and recruitment efforts of terrorist organizations and promoting dialogue and understanding between communities. Ultimately, the fight against extremism is not just about countering terrorist attacks but also combating the ideologies that fuel them. By exposing the coordinated effort behind anti-Israel protests, we can work towards building a more inclusive and peaceful society for all. 2024-04-25 Source 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Emdog Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 People get undies in a knot over "from the river (Jordan) to the sea" which would be their future Palestine. However, it is smaller than what God supposedly promised the Israelis, from Baghdad to Egypt. Much larger than Palestine. And remember OT god wanted Israelis to kill most (genocide) all of the unchosen so they could not "pollute" the chosen people. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jeff the Chef Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 Is there really a need to find a body/group to blame Israel's loss of the so called propaganda agender. Normal human beings see the carnage in the Middle East and want it stopped, sadly the majority of their Governments don't have that opinion or this could have ended years ago. To me it is all about political influence and economics, your everyday man/woman in the street only see the bodies and the excuses made by their politicians, change has got to come. 1 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post riclag Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 (edited) Some Columbia students support Hamas, the terror group. Some of the student chants according to Mr. Dershowitz. Rape is resistance. We love Hamas rockets. Burn down Tel Aviv. 10,000 more October 7’s. They are calling for Terrorism against America. It only took 19 radical terrorist to Carry out 9/11 . Watching the events take place all across the World and in my country . It makes me wonder about what is going to take place & when! I have my thoughts about the illegal border crossing ,protests on many campuses ,blocking of bridges, closing roads, closing roads to airports, shutting down universities (Columbia Universities). I wonder what the FBI, particularly Wray is saying about Threats are imminent in my country and the timing of his statement with everything happening. What does protests , undocumented unaccounted people ,& a Fbi threat during a election year all mean! bidens America! imop Edited April 25 by riclag 1 1 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 America we have a problem “Al-Qassam, you make us proud, take another soldier out” “We say justice, you say how? Burn Tel Aviv to the ground” “Hamas, we love you. We support your rockets too” Extremists at @Columbia chant in support for Hamas terror. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
