The Blogs: Countering the Propaganda War - Part 2 Means | Christian Rudolf Hamann

The main strategy of the Islamists is to distort their actual position as brutal attackers in the public perception to that of attacked victims. This fraudulent image has to be unmasked and ridiculed.

Presently, Israel has no Information Ministry. This should be reestablished immediately for some coordination tasks.
Jewish organizations in Europe, Israel and America may be requested to help in a project which documents the cases of clear truth-distorting of Israel’s history by NGOs and other organizations.
The resulting reports should be redacted, each with a summary and electronically archived. Some should be selected to be sent to the UN, governments, organizations and news agencies. In the most obvious cases, juridical steps may be considered to force falsifiers to revoke and correct their presentation.
To retake the position of worldwide moral leadership, Israel may develop into a role model of the – in the whole west overdue – democratic modernization. The necessity became obvious during the polarizing debate about the juridical reform.
In a wider context, it is about strengthening free democracy against the perpetual attacks by persons with an autocratic mindset, especially those with a surplus of money to be “invested” in political influence.4)
As Donald Trump, like Israel, is a victim of those circles waging a propaganda war against free civilization, he is a natural ally. As his announced plans show, he is up to realize a profound reform of the political system. As he is one of the few idealistic and courageous politicians in the West, Trump is the ideal partner for Israel, the country with the highest percentage of idealistic and courageous citizens.
As the information sector represents the fourth branch of government, its democratic control by the citizens has to be ensured.
In a free market of thoughts, this control would be implemented by the choosing opportunity of the citizens. But in Western reality, the supposed free choosing is limited by the actual political uniformity of the products offered by oligopoly media corporations. Small alternative publishers can’t compete economically, as they, once leaving the narrow discourse of “political correctness”, simply don’t get advertising contracts by likewise oligopoly big business. Thus, a sustainable solution has to either abolish oligopoly market dominance – or to commit it to a fair, unbiased reporting – see final sentence in 1.17.
One level to counter the manipulative power of the oligopolistic news agencies is to establish an independent alternative. Between other organizational options, this unbiased news agency could work according to the “Wiki” model, which is founded on the participation of many contributing people.
The artificially produced differences in the political perception and attitude and resulting poor solidarity within the Judeo-Christian cultural area according to 1.16 have to be overcome by appropriate means. Among others, a second forum is needed whose task is to act as an “icebreaker” between the various victim groups of the propaganda war.
