Israel has escalated its conflict with Lebanon, leading to thousands being displaced and over 600 killed. This increase in violence is not only physical but also psychological, with Israel using tactics to instill fear and gain support for war. The “The Generals’ Plan” has surfaced, a disturbing strategy for ethnic cleansing in North Gaza, showing the extreme measures being considered by the Israeli government. Hasbara, a form of persuasion and explanation used by the Zionist movement, is being heavily utilized in an attempt to control the narrative and influence public opinion. Online influencers like Hen Mazzig are playing a significant role in disseminating pro-Israel propaganda, while facing challenges due to the ongoing conflict and the human rights violations in Gaza. The situation is dire, and the voices of journalists, academics, and activists like Ori Goldberg, Zahera Harb, and Assal Rad are crucial in shedding light on the realities of the situation and holding Israel accountable for its actions. The world is watching as Israel reverts to its wartime playbook, and the consequences of all-out war on Lebanon could be catastrophic.
