The central problem with antisemitic narratives is that they are spread by people who know the truth perfectly well, yet still seek to rewrite history in order to create an alternative version that serves their purposes and aligns with their aims. Debunking lies is far harder than generating them. Lies require no evidence, and everyone who believes them ignores refutations supported by undeniable facts.

That is precisely why insane conspiracy theories spread like wildfire in a fertile environment — across social platforms and in countless media that shape and influence public opinion. One could attribute this to a lack of education, but the roots run through academic circles, and the problem is far deeper and more systemic. It is becoming increasingly visible even at the level of governments, in the rhetoric of certain heads of state.

This is not about political systems or allegiance to particular parties or ideological camps. It is about the interests of global players for whom conflict in the Middle East is profitable in the form of a wound that never heals, because peace does not generate the enormous profits that war does.

That is why propaganda is the most powerful weapon today: the demonization of Israel, the dehumanization of the victims of October 7, the manipulation of numbers, and the incitement of hatred rooted in ancient prejudices. This inevitably undermines pluralism of opinion and leads to the zombification of society, which eagerly awaits the next dose that allows it, if only for a moment, to forget its own reality and its own problems.

At the same time, far greater global shifts for the worse are taking place, yet against the backdrop of an endless one-sided information campaign, they are pushed into the background. Awakening would be salvation — but the sleep is deeper than ever.
