We’re finally hearing talk of a phenomenon that I thought was clear in October 2023: That Israel is losing the information war in its campaign to free its hostages and eradicate Hamas from Palestine. In fact, it lost it on Day 1 responding with muddled messaging immediately after of the horror of Hamas’s unprecedented attack in Israel on October 7.

That Israel faces bias in the media and UN is nothing new. The narrative against it began in 1948, and it reached a peak with UN condemnation of it rescuing its hostages and an Air France crew from the PLO and Uganda at Entebbe in 1976.

Two years ago in 2023, however, Hamas changed its strategy replacing its missiles with Western media as the final frontier of it having any hope of retaining power in the Occupied Territories and spreading global antisemitism from them.

Hamas was born with a clear and evil goal that it published in its “Charter” of 1988. Its stated political aim is to destroy Israel, Judaism and Christianity by holy war called jihad. This jihad comes in many forms: military action, terrorism, forced conversion and local uprising called intifada.

To achieve this goal Hamas initially ran a single strategy:

Strike at Israel and goad it into overreaction thereby inciting the Arab World into war on Hamas’s side.

Yet, despite two intifadas that pre-dated Hamas’s election and numerous kidnappings and missile barrages by Hamas that since drew Israel in from the early 2000s, it has never worked. More so, Hamas’s problem since 2016 with the election of Donald Trump, was that it knew that the Arab World sought peace with Israel, not war.

Hence in October 2023 Hamas changed its strategy:

Goad Israel into overreaction to incite sympathisers across the world into a global intifada.

Thus here we are in 2025 finally realising that with Hamas on the precipice of military defeat, the world is now in an intifada and largely due to a new single factor. Hamas has succeeded in capturing Western media to collude with it. It has bought mainstream and social media control.

This strategy had been surging to fruition since 2010. It gained true impetus from inflows of illegal immigrant jihadists pouring across international borders and shores from the Middle East, Africa and the Levant since 2014—aided by the laxity of Germany’s Angela Merkel, her influence on the EU, and fellow socialist governments across Europe, North America and Australia.

Worse, this media infiltration is both financial and human. We now know that its predominant influencer is not Iran’s IRGC nor Saudi Arabia’s rogue royalty, but Qatar. Hamas learned well from Al Qaeda’s Bin Laden. The key to good strategy is patience and that means time. Like China, Communist domination didn’t arrive overnight and the Arab way of life is stoic.

But every strategy has a weakness and in Hamas’s case the fulcrum of media financing is it, and when the West declares that Qatar is a terror state, the war in Gaza will immediately end.

Once Qatar’s assets including Qatar Airways are frozen, then Saudi Arabia’s task begun in 2014 can be completed. That included closing Al Jazeera as the world’s global jihadist propaganda media hub.

That done, the collusion of Western media—its misuse of photographs as narrative of starvation, its quoting of a fraudulent Gaza Ministry of Health death figures, its parroting of Hamas’s claims of genocide in Gaza, it’s repurposing of pro-Hamas media mouthpieces for copy, it’s support for “River to the Sea” street marches—ends.

Then Western governments who’ve courted Qatari favour can begin to reverse the social unrest they’ve loosed in their own countries, close their borders to jihad, and restore true multicultural, secular and pluralistic peace.

The ball is now in the court of Qatar’s supreme leader and monarch Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani.

You’ve never heard of him and he’s screwing up your world.

ABC and NBC notably went into TV drama overdrive releasing their own star-studded movies within months: “Victory at Entebbe” and “Raid on Entebbe”. Warner Bros earned an Academy Award nomination for its 1977 cinema release “Operation Thunderbolt”. At this time Stevenson’s 1976 book “90 Minutes at Entebbe” was the go to mass market read. Indeed, while the UN castigated Israel, public opinion was firmly on Israel’s side. Picture shown: author’s copy.
