In Turkey, we have a population of 85 million people, and we are all considered “conspiracy theorists.” There is even a special section on Wikipedia titled “Conspiracy Theories in Turkey.” But we are not entirely wrong!
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who has been accused of murder by the International Criminal Court and corruption by the Tel Aviv Court, considers the media as the 8th front; supposedly, Zionism is fighting on 7 fronts against its neighbors and Palestinians, and the media is waging war against Israel as the 8th front. The reason for this is that in public opinion polls in the US and European countries, the majority of respondents now have a decreasing approval rating for Israel’s Gaza massacres and government support for Israel.
Over the past year, both in the US and Western European countries, Israel’s “approval rating” has dropped from around 50% to 20%. Netanyahu attributes this to the media no longer being afraid to make anti-Semitic and pro-Palestinian publications, which he claims is the reason.
However, this has nothing to do with reality. Content analyses from the same period show that in the US and European media, there has been no decrease in pro-Israeli publications, but rather an increase.
Netanyahu’s “8th front” refers to a new program implemented by the Israeli government and non-governmental organizations, including Zionist organizations, to influence social media.
For example, there are records of increased social media activities by these organizations since last November, which can be found on websites like PassBlue.com.
Not only that, but the Jewish Agency for Israel, the largest Zionist organization in the world, which was established in 1929 to work for the establishment of Israel, has been working on an effort to counter “pro-Palestinian content and posts on social media” over the past year.
This organization allegedly played a role in Twitter being acquired by Elon Musk, who describes himself as “not Jewish but Zionist,” from Jack Dorsey, whom they describe as “anti-Semitic” and “anti-Israel.”
Now, it is also reported that they are trying to convince US President Trump to give TikTok, which they describe as “Al Jazeera on steroids,” to Larry Ellison, the owner of Oracle, one of the world’s largest technology companies, who is both Jewish and Zionist.
TikTok is a video platform that 52% of Americans look at every day, and 17% consider it their primary news source. However, statistics show that there is no Arab or pro-Palestinian content on the platform.
However, on social media, the number of shares is more important than the content. Search engine companies like Google, Bing, Yahoo, Yandex, and Baidu decide the importance of content and which order to display it in, based on factors such as likes, shares, and comments.
If you or someone you know has a decreasing number of followers on X, Instagram, or Facebook, or if the content you publish cannot be found in the main content stream, it means that the platform’s “algorithm” numbers indicate that your content is not popular.
However, the platform’s owner can also change the algorithm by, for example, changing the ranking of content that includes the word “Gaza.”
Why do you think the news about the Israeli former Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar and the Jewish Agency’s “8th front” members opening a “Media War Room” at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 11, 2025, coincides with the news that X’s algorithms are being manipulated and TikTok will be acquired by Oracle’s owner, Larry Ellison?
