Watan-Israel’s Propaganda Aimed at Shaping Global Public Opinion Against Gaza Appears to Have Failed Miserably”
It seems that Israel’s propaganda efforts to influence global public opinion against Gaza through deception and tarnishing the image of resistance have utterly failed, not only among Western societies but even among Jews. Many of them have been seen participating in protests against Israeli occupation crimes, exposing the lies that Tel Aviv and its supporting nations attempt to promote.
In one widely shared video on social media, a young Jewish child is seen alongside Jewish protesters holding images and slogans in support of Palestine and Gaza, with a caption that reads, “We grieve and pray for all those who have died. The only ones responsible for these deaths are Israel and Zionism.”
The video was described as follows on the “Torah Judaism” account, dedicated to Jewish activists against Zionism: “Before the Zionists invaded Palestine, Jews and Muslims lived there peacefully. Palestine was a safe haven for Jews.”
Jews Reject the Zionist Project The account adds in the tweet commenting on the video of a young Jewish protest against the occupation, “The Zionists have established a state of occupation and racism by stealing their Jewish identity. Jews will never accept this Zionist state.”

In another video shared by Palestinian journalist Nazim Al-Mehdawi, the editor-in-chief of the “Watan” newspaper, he shows how they interact with Jews who oppose the Zionist project in Palestine. Al-Mehdawi comments on the video, saying, “They are not even considered human by those of their religion who oppose the Zionist project in Palestine.”
It should be noted that the attack by the occupation forces in the mentioned video targeted members of the “Neturei Karta” group, composed of Orthodox Jews who oppose Zionism and the establishment of the state of Israel. They were seen raising the Palestinian flag in the occupied Jewish quarter of Jerusalem.
Jews Who Oppose the Establishment of Israel… Who Are They? Many of these Jews who have appeared worldwide in supportive protests for Palestine and in condemnation of Zionism and occupation crimes follow the religious Jewish movement “Neturei Karta,” which is known for its staunch opposition to Zionism.
Followers of this movement do not recognize the state of Israel on Palestinian territories, believing that the establishment of a Jewish state cannot involve taking land from another people and can only occur with divine permission. The Israeli authorities appear to have forcefully suppressed them as they protest against Israel’s policies.
“In the video, Al-Mehdawi states, ‘They are not even considered human by those of their religion who oppose the Zionist project in Palestine.’
It should be noted that the assault by the occupation forces in the video in question targeted several members of the ‘Neturei Karta’ group, consisting of Orthodox Jews who reject Zionism and the establishment of the State of Israel. They were seen raising the Palestinian flag in the occupied Jewish quarter of Jerusalem.

Followers of this movement do not recognize the state of Israel on Palestinian territories, believing that the establishment of a Jewish state cannot involve taking land from another people and can only occur with divine permission. This is based on their beliefs, which stem from their return to the practice of their religious law, which they believe led them to be punished by God, scattered among the nations, and dispersed among the peoples of the earth.

Al Jazeera Net previously reported on November 7, 2023, quoting Israel’s Channel 12 as saying, ‘After a month, we are facing a new reality, as the images circulating in international media are images of killing and destruction in Gaza, not images coming from the settlements.’
The channel pointed out in its report that it had become evident that Israeli propaganda, which aimed to promote the occupation’s claims and demonize Palestinian resistance, was failing to fulfill its purpose. This allowed enough room for the occupying army to carry out its crimes against the Palestinians.”

“The ‘Torah Judaism’ account is active on the ‘X’ platform and has more than 154,000 followers. It features various clips and videos that confirm the collapse of the Israeli narrative and the propaganda attempting to deceive the world regarding the events in Gaza.
An Anti-Zionist Approach It is also worth noting that the ‘Neturei Karta’ group first began using this name in 1938 as their identification among international circles. Members of the group split from ‘Agudath Yisrael’ to maintain an anti-Zionist approach, rejecting all forms of assimilation and dissolution into Zionist thought, which they believed contradicted their Jewish religious beliefs and rulings.
The group was founded in Jerusalem by Rabbi Amram Blau after they received approval to separate from the Zionist neighborhoods in Jerusalem by the British Mandate government.
Rabbi Blau led the group from its inception until his passing in 1974, and he and his group worked to affirm the ‘incompetence of Israel to be a national state for Jews,’ according to the beliefs of this group.”

“They also worked with their group to assert the denial of Israel’s right to be a Jewish national state. The group vehemently rejects the notion that Zionism represents the alleged interests of Jews worldwide.”
