The Flood

The central strategy of modern antizionism is the Flood.

They flood Israel’s borders with militants and civilians prepared to commit atrocities against Israeli civilians. They flood the internet with Palestinian flags, antisemitic “laugh reacts,” false claims, slogans, fabricated casualty numbers, and emotionally charged images — some AI-generated, others cynically misappropriated from unrelated conflicts like Syria or Yemen — all falsely presented to inflame outrage against Israel. This is not mere propaganda; it is emotional blackmail: the deliberate exploitation of suffering, especially of children, to bypass reason and trigger a brute-force emotional reaction, weaponizing grief and pain into hatred.

The Flood is driven by overwhelming demographic asymmetry: fewer than 16 million Jews stand against a global Muslim population of over 1.6 billion and more than 22 Arab states, many of which have historically refused to accept Jewish sovereignty. But numbers alone are only part of the weapon. Demographic mass is now fused with recursive algorithmic propagation: slogans, lies, and fabricated imagery are endlessly amplified through social media ecosystems that reward outrage, mob behavior, and emotional escalation. The Flood saturates information spaces not through persuasion, but through viral incitement.

This is not dialogue. It is the total fusion of antisemitism and antizionism into a single movement — one that elevates mass emotion over truth, force over reason, hatred over deliberation. It is fascism in the classical and robust sense: a populist harnessing of mass hate and mass violence, the glorification of emotional frenzy over civic life, and the deliberate replacement of reasoned debate with brute force. The explosion of antisemitic attacks around the world — from street violence to university discrimination — is not a regrettable side effect; it is the intended and predictable outcome of this strategy.

Yet defenders of the Flood claim to stand for academic freedom, open debate, and human rights. In reality, they are helping to dismantle the very foundations of democratic discourse. When slogans replace arguments, when emotional blackmail replaces moral reasoning, and when fabricated spectacle replaces the pursuit of truth, democracy itself collapses into mob rule.

The Flood is not merely a threat to Israel or to Jews. It is a threat to democracy itself — to truth, to reason, and to the dignity of all free peoples.
