A ‘Hidden Hand’ is guiding an antisemitic propaganda war
The global surge of antisemitism that followed the Hamas-led Palestinian Arab terror attacks in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, was no spontaneous outburst of hate.According to JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin, it’s clear that it was not only the product of years of preparation by ideologues recycling Soviet-era propaganda aimed at delegitimizing Israel and Jewish rights.

The global rise in antisemitism following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks was not spontaneous but a coordinated effort, according to JNS editor-in-chief Jonathan Tobin and Canadian political consultant Warren Kinsella.

He states that this sophisticated plan utilizes social media algorithms to influence young people and believes the mainstream media has largely ignored it. Kinsella, who is not Jewish, emphasizes that this Islamist hate threatens the West, not just Israel, and urges Israel to improve its messaging to counter the antisemitic narrative.
