The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

In the 90s, Israel communicated it's enemies list to the PNAC group, which formed the policies of the Bush junta. There were seven conflicts that Israel wanted the US' help to knock over militarily. The 8th front was a "hearts and minds" propaganda campaign, in the US.

As usual, we need to read Israeli media, because USian media will not talk about it.

The Eighth Front

Israel is currently fighting a multi front war—one that extends far beyond the kinetic battles being fought in Gaza or along its northern border. While seven of these fronts are more easily recognized, there’s an eighth that is just as vital to Israel’s survival: the battle for the minds and hearts of global opinion. This front, historically thought as a secondary concern, may at some point in the future determine the outcome of all the others.

But it is the eighth front, the battle for the Minds and Hearts of ordinary people that may be most decisive in the long term. This is not a battlefield with bullets and grenades—it is a battlefield of narratives, ideas, and influence. It plays out on social media, in newsrooms, in classrooms, in personal relationships and in the halls of political power. It is a front that our enemies understand deeply, and have weaponized with disturbing success.

The eighth front: Netanyahu thanks delegation of US journalists for supporting Israel

The battle for narrative is the ‘eighth front’ in Israel’s ongoing war, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce’s Gala for US journalists on Sunday.

“Seven fronts against Iran and its proxies, the eighth front, the battle for truth. And Newsmax, you have let the truth circle the globe against the lies,” Netanyahu said. “There’s only one way to beat the lies, and that’s with the truth. Thank you for standing up with Israel. Thank you for standing up for the truth.”
