More on the Soviet-generated spread of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic propaganda — 14 Comments

  1. I read somewhere that over half of the KGB’s budget went to non-spycraft items, nor basic intelligence items. Mostly propaganda. If true, that’s pretty incredible.

  2. Of course it’s not a conspiracy theory. It is understandable that people often interpret Middle East conflict in terms of ethnic rivalries stretching back generations or even millennia. But an awful lot of it after WWII was Cold War proxy.

  3. For instance at the time of the Six-Day War Israel was not allied with the US and they were certainly not fighting on our behalf but for their own national survival. But the Israeli victory ultimately turned into a huge Cold War strategic win for the US because it led to the ouster of Nasser for Sadat and then the flipping of Egypt from the Soviet orbit.

    Actually, for the most part, the present conflict in that area between Jews and Arabs started in the 1920s or 1930s (for example, this massacre of Jews by Arabs that drove the Jews from Hebron). Prior to that, the many Jews in the area were Jews living in Moslem states (including the Ottoman Empire run by the Turks for centuries and then Britain for a few decades after WWI, Egypt, North Africa, Persia) in fairly stable communities that every now and then were subject to Arab violence, and were under Arab rule. If you go back to Biblical days, there were no Arabs and no Moslems.

  7. The OT recounts quite a few conflicts between Jews and their neighbors- Egyptians, Philistines, Babylonia, Syria even if the genetic history has been shall we say dynamic.

  8. well they had been allied with the French until DeGaulle who thought to curry favor with the Arabs because Algeria. Wilson didn’t really care as much as Eden did considering how Suez turned out,

    yes its always been a tough neighborhood Egypt Assyria, Babylon Persia, the Sabeans modern Yemen, were the ones who stole Job’s flock

  9. So. The pro-Palestinians Mobsters are not only Communist stooges, but classical Marxist era Soviet propaganda dupes?

    And people mocked Diane West for her “Red Thread” book claims about the Hate-Trump “Russia, Russia!” Campaign. No. Simply ahead of the curve.

  10. because it led to the ouster of Nasser for Sadat and then the flipping of Egypt from the Soviet orbit.
    ==
    Nasser died of natural causes in September 1970. Sadat was his VP.

  11. Then Sadat negotiated peace with Israel, for which “crime” he was assassinated by the Islamic Jihad.
