While we in the West blunder on, the diabolically crafty and patient Palestinian leadership and its many supporters have been busy inserting their propaganda into every conceivable forum. I have written before about such propaganda taking over the United Nations, international human rights groups, and large chunks of the Western media and universities. Wikipedia has also been infected with anti-Israel bias and with maps that do not show the Jewish state.
Of course, what the propagandists publish, film and say in the Arab and Muslim world about Israel, Jews, and America is unimaginably worse.
And now, for my own little discovery. I have been researching a health-related piece. When I googled some relevant subject areas I was surprised to find something about Palestine and against Israel on the first Google page. This means that someone has been publishing anti-Israel material and then doing whatever is necessary to get a huge number of people to press on the link; this is what gets an article on the first Google search page.
Thus, if you google “avoidable hospital deaths” HERE you will find ten examples on the first page. The first seven and the last two articles concern what happens in American and British hospitals. The eighth piece is titled “Palestine Monitor. Avoidable Tragedies” and it links to a site devoted to “exposing life under the occupation.” Seven Palestinian patients are listed, four of whom died, allegedly because they could not enter Israel due to the closing of various “crossings.” (And no, of course not, the site does not explain why Israel has had to set up checkpoints and close crossings).
I do not know whether any of these Palestine Monitor examples are true or false. Based on the epidemic “Pallywood” and faux-tography tactics of the Palestinians, these people may not even exist and their deaths, like that of the iconic Mohammed al-Dura, may not even have occurred. Or, their deaths may not be due to the Israeli “occupation.” (And no, the site does not explain that most Palestinians are treated in Israeli hospitals).
Nevertheless, if this Palestine Monitor has managed to get itself on the first Google page–I wonder how many other highly politicized examples of Palestinian propaganda which are unrelated to the topic at hand have nevertheless managed to land themselves on the first Google page? All the other examples on this Google page concern unnecessary or avoidable deaths in hospitalsdue to medical error or staff neglect. The Palestinians who allegedly died were not in hospitals. There is no other example that Google links to which offers a political-military reason for hospital-based avoidable deaths.
Gotta hand it to them. (How many nerds do they have seated at computers pressing away?) We may not only have to learn from our enemies or “stoop to their level;” we must absolutely outwit and outlast them in terms of creating and combating such propaganda. We must also come up with lasting surprises of our own.
Does anyone have any ideas? Please post a comment and I will respond.

1. George Jochnowitz:Israel is the most hated country on earth. Anti-Zionism is a force that makes smart people stupid and good people bad. Anti-Zionism makes feminists and gay-rights activists support those who commit honor murders against women and homosexuals.
Israel is a small country. It would be an unimportant country if it were not the target for so much hatred. The ferocity of this hatred makes no sense whatever.
Jul 2, 2008 - 9:54 am 2. Louis Santacroce:Complain loudly and publically, not only to to Google, but to sympathetic media in general. Google is now, I believe, a publicly-traded company, and will be responsive to anything that negaively effects their bottom line. Millions of Israel supporters threatening to boycott their advertisers (take, as an example, the religous right’s successful campaign to get shows like “Ellen” cancelled) will have the desired effect. Ditto any newspaper, magazine, TV/radio program, etc. that airs reports containing anti-Zion bias without attempting to get the truth (expect Palistinians/moslems to lie — it’s their nature, and reporting those lies does not, by itself, make a reporting entity anti-Zionist; but failing to get, and report both sides of an issue both violates the ethics of good reporting and, by itself, shows bias in favor of the other side). Meanwhle, try using Ask.com, or some other search engine.
Jul 2, 2008 - 3:51 pm 3. Roy M:A scheme by the “diabolically crafty and patient” Palestinians to plant propaganda in Google results? I thought that sounded interesting and plausable so I read the piece only to find that it was based on one(1) claimed example.
Phyllis mannaged the task of connecting one dot to reveal a diabolical propaganda scheme. I wondered about how that worked for a while, then I decided to look for more dots. I was looking for Palestinian propoganda sites that gave page-1 Google hits for searches. Here are results:
Murder (0)
Political murder (0) [article on murder in Holland by Islamists]
Child murder (0)
Genocide (0)
Repression (0)
Military repression(0)
Aha OCCUPATION!….oh 1 link to a UK newspaper article marking 40 years since the 6-day war.
This diabolical Palestinian plot is completely useless. Or Maybe Phyllis is mistaken.
One reason that Phyllis extrapolated so enthusiastically was that the Palestinian deaths did not occur in hospital. The result was not as relevant as the others to what she was looking for. This shows it must be a plant! The main problem with that claim is that it is not true. Phyllis did not search for “avoidable deaths in hospital” she searched for everything that contains the words ‘avoidable’ AND ‘deaths’ AND ‘hospital’. Google isn’t psychic (yet) it just returns what you ask for. As far as Google knows ‘on route to hospital’ contains just as much hospital as ‘while in hospital’.
Then there is Phyllis’ claim that ‘There is no other example that Google links to which offers a political-military reason for hospital-based avoidable deaths’

[Iraq, obviously]
So much for Phyllis’ diabolical plot.
But are the stories about these dead Palestinians true? Sensibly, Phyllis couldn’t be bothered to try to find out. Neither can I. If I tried to establish the circumstances around the death of every Palestinian for which Israel was blamed I wouldn’t have time to do anything else. A line has to be drawn somewhere and that’s where I draw mine.
But while not-trying-to-find-out I found this:
“One area in which there has been encouraging cooperation is the preparedness training for outbreaks of infectious diseases like pandemic influenza, including the endemic Avian influenza, which has provided the opportunity for Palestinian and Israeli experts to meet together under the umbrella of the Middle East Consortium of Infectious Disease Surveillance, backed by the WHO and international NGOs. Israeli and Palestinian health experts meet in order to exchange information, to evaluate the situation and to coordinate policy and action. The implementation of the International Health Regulations (2005) regarding Pandemic Influenza preparedness has become a mutual need and it was addressed through a workshop of Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli public health professionals. This workshop was part of a larger trend of increased cooperation between public health professionals in the region, and collaboration on other pressing matters continues through a variety of channels.”

WHO has much news which is, to understate, less positive but do any of us need reminding about that?
We do need to be reminded, and we all need to remember, at all times, that there are decent Palestinians and Israelis. And some of them are working together for the common good. If we are going to write propaganda to support anyone it should be these people.
Jul 2, 2008 - 4:12 pm 4. Susannah:Israel is the portal through which Islam pursues its quest for hegemony not only over the Middle East but beyond. Enabled through infiltration, usurpation, in place specific strategic dictates aims at establishing Caliphate rule as defined the era of the Ottoman Empire, not the first instance of Islamic conquests once ruling much of the known world for centuries.
Islamic Qur’anic dictate in confluence with the Communist Manifesto strategies have been at work since the ’60s gaining much from the anti-Vietnam war instigations on American campuses paving the way to infiltrate anti-Semitism through a politicization process dedicated to usurping both America and for that matter Israel relying on America as its major protector against its enemies. Islamic States smarting from its successive defeats on the battle fronts at the hands of Israel sought to be becomes a force to be reckoned with. Teaming up with the then Soviets which employed KGB trained terrorists as well as Soviets devised tactologies: terrorist attacks against America’s civilian infrastructure through the drama of hijacking of civilian airplanes, terrorist attacks within Israel grabbing international headlines and by now firmly established television as immediate public impact facilitation catapulting Islam unto the world stage.
The other prong in the fire employed by the Soviet/Islamic axis toward undermining United States standing as a Superpower, its presence in the Middle East and Africa, and Israel a thorn in Islamic dreams of itself as hegemonic ruler over the Middle East is propaganda.
The erosion of public opinion in support of Israel has been enabled by the usurpation of the United Nations by the Soviet/Islamic axis. As such the international organization headquartered in the media/informational/financial capital of the world, New York City, with access to all academic, educational target institutions in America and the 7 continents of the world – and as a legitimization icon – constitutes an international propaganda conduicy taken full advantage by the Soviet/Marxist/Communist/Islamic partnership – alliance – that even gained direct entry into the White House under the Administration of Bill and Hillary Clinton – the President. As well the economic standing of oil producer Islamic States influence wielding in the halls of Governments and Socialist governments in Europe and Scandinavia easily seduced by ever increasing tactologies sophistication.
The development of conduits has been a dedicated enterprise by Islamic States in regards to establishing the Palestinian cause celeb for purpose of the deligitimization of the Jewish State of Israel and serving as a distraction from Islam’s larger aim – the destruction of democracy in America, in Europe and non-Islamic States, Governments on an international scale. Islam knows no borders and boundaries and globalization of corporate economic interests is an enabling agent for Islamic strategies that as well ignores borders and boundaries by which America, Europe and countries world wide self define.
The success of anti-American rebellions from targeted civil rights leaderships, to the “feminist liberation movement” serving as the backbone of for the Marxist/Soviet/Stallinesque establishment on American shores has met little resistance as our democracy refuses to acknowledge or perceive the tyrannical forces implanted and operating on our shores. Central to the success of the implantation of enemy strategies has been and continues to be the United Nations as force for legitimization of cause celeb created and empowered to galvanize public opinion on an international scale.
In fact the dedicated usurpation by the Soviet/Islamic States axis brought to bear the full apparatus of the United Nations that enabled the establishment of politically charged conduit systems militating against the United States, Israel and for that matter democracy world wide. The creation of a non-entity and a non-people in the service of a political agenda that concerns neither human rights or seeks in fact to better lives of Moslems used as human sacrifice fodder was achieved through the creation of cause celebs strategies. Under the guise, misrepresentation and distract device promulgated under the rubric of human rights concerns, sophisticated indoctrination tactologies, the hiring of American public relations companies in savvy New York and Washington, D.C. gained for Islamic terrorist sponsored States and Islamic terrorist enterprises a better grasp of how Americans and people in democracies think setting in motion the propaganda war against the Jewish State.
We have the declared dedication by the mullacracy that is Iran to develop nuclear capability and delivery systems for purposes of destroying the Jewish State. However, the ambition is not only to eliminate the Jewish State but the democracies of Europe and America. This does not register in the public domain. As well the financial take over of America by Islamic States buying out and gaining control over America’s infrastructure. This again is not perceived in the larger context of a game plan by an alien force bent on conquest of the non-Islamic world. What reason it might be asked is this largely ignored, dismissed and remaining thus far in large measure outside the perceptional parameters of America and Europe? The effectiveness of propaganda by the consortium of Islamic States clever enough to understand how to put democracy in the service of their ambitions to destroy it.
Though the whys, wherefores and hows are all in evidence the public shields itself in veils far more dangerous than any Islam practicing women are forced to wear in Iran and other Middle Eastern States.
Jul 2, 2008 - 9:28 pm 5. Susannah Two:My opinion: The erosion of societal structure transcendence into a brave new technologically driven world and global corporate realities has shifted the sense of leadership and its model into elusive definitions. Unfortunately it allows for alien untoward influence wielding on our shores and beyond. Self interests that respect neither boundaries or borders nor care of history forging a brave new world is in all our faces – but seen by whom? It is in fact Israel and the Jewish people that represents the continuity of peoplehood, authenticity and authority based on principles and values without which humanity would not survival. Upon which premise nations, indeed democracy itself is enabled to exist. AND it is democracy that is in fact under attack! It begins with attacks against the Jews!
The answer to blunting the “Palestinian” cause celeb barrel against Israel is achievable through finding fuel alternatives to oil and developing sources of oil outside of Islamic controlled lands.
The development of propaganda conduits has been a dedicated enterprise by the Socialist/Islamic States axis in establishing the Palestinian cause celeb for purpose of the deligitimization of the Jewish State of Israel. As well serving to distract from Islam’s larger ambition, the destruction of democracy in America, Europe, Scandinavia and non-Islamic States and Government. What confronts the non-Islamic world is the elimination of borders and boundaries, national and ethnic identity across all continents that in effect dovetails with the Islamic agenda seeking hegemonic rule through infiltration of strategies to which much of the world, its target, appears inured.
Israel is the portal through which Islam seeks hegemony not only over the Middle East but beyond. Enabled through immigrant populations reaching near critical mass, infiltration, usurpation all aimed at establishing Caliphate rule as defined the era of the Ottoman Empire to bring about a third Islamic conquest of the world.
The success of the anti-American rebellions from targeted civil rights leaderships to the “feminist liberation movement” among the spectrum of organizations and institutions well indoctrinated in anti-American/anti-Israel/anti-Democracy ideology serves as the backbone of the Marxist/Soviet/Stalinesque establishment on American shores. Having met little resistance in democracies that either show ambivalence over confronting the enemy from within or refuse to perceive the tyrannical forces implanted and operating on our shores, the war against Western civilization proceeds.
A replication of process by Islamic interests and its conduits continues on American shores modeled by and based on the usurpation of the United Nations through sheer numbers and dedicated strategies. All offered little or no resistance. Indeed, even largely financed by America’s tax payers in a collusion with a set up that aims at our own demise!
As force for legitimization of cause celeb created and empowered to galvanize public opinion on an international scale, the creation of the “Palestinians” as refugees by Islamic States has gained currency. However, increasingly it seems not so much due to identification with Palestinians but achieved through well-honed strategies of infiltration, indoctrination and usurpation by Leftist agent conduits. As such public accessible communications enabled technologies such as search engines – google to be more exact by hardly limited as such – are simply another field of operations in the furtherance of the destruction of democracy and the enabling ascent of alien interests.
The monolithic and dictatorial aspect of Islam and its Socialist conduit cadres pit against the divided opinions, views and political spectrum by which democracy self defines appears to give Islamic ambition the advantage.
We have the declared intention by the mullacracy that is Iran full steam ahead in the development nuclear capability for purposes of destroying not only the Jewish State but the democracies of Europe and America. As well the financial buy out and take over of America by oil-producer Islamic States gaining hegemonic control over America’s infrastructure thanks to the collaboration of corporate and economic self-interests in partnerships development. Not perceived in the larger context of a game plan by an alien force bent on conquest of the non-Islamic world, for what reason it might be asked is this phenomenon largely ignored, dismissed and remains in large measure outside the perceptional parameters of the American people?
