In the 90s, Israel communicated it's enemies list to the PNAC group, which formed the policies of the Bush junta. There were seven conflicts that Israel wanted the US' help to knock over militarily. The 8th front was a "hearts and minds" propaganda campaign, in the US.

As usual, we need to read Israeli media, because USian media will not talk about it.

The Eighth Front

Israel is currently fighting a multi front war—one that extends far beyond the kinetic battles being fought in Gaza or along its northern border. While seven of these fronts are more easily recognized, there’s an eighth that is just as vital to Israel’s survival: the battle for the minds and hearts of global opinion. This front, historically thought as a secondary concern, may at some point in the future determine the outcome of all the others.

But it is the eighth front, the battle for the Minds and Hearts of ordinary people that may be most decisive in the long term. This is not a battlefield with bullets and grenades—it is a battlefield of narratives, ideas, and influence. It plays out on social media, in newsrooms, in classrooms, in personal relationships and in the halls of political power. It is a front that our enemies understand deeply, and have weaponized with disturbing success.

The eighth front: Netanyahu thanks delegation of US journalists for supporting Israel

The battle for narrative is the ‘eighth front’ in Israel’s ongoing war, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the Orthodox Jewish Chamber of Commerce’s Gala for US journalists on Sunday.

“Seven fronts against Iran and its proxies, the eighth front, the battle for truth. And Newsmax, you have let the truth circle the globe against the lies,” Netanyahu said. “There’s only one way to beat the lies, and that’s with the truth. Thank you for standing up with Israel. Thank you for standing up for the truth.”

It plays out on social media, in newsrooms, in classrooms, in personal relationships and in the halls of political power.

One of the links I posted a few days ago, talked about Israeli lobbyists supporting two Senate candidates, Haley Stevens, a Democrat in Michigan, and Susan Collins, a Republican, in Maine, presumably because, even though they are members of different parties, they are both owned by the Israel lobby.

Today, from the Ellison pro-Israel propaganda network, formerly known as CBS News:

Platner's wife told campaign about sexually explicit texts he sent other women

The wife of Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner told his campaign in 2025 about sexual messages he had sent to other women.

Amy Gertner, whom Platner has been married to since November 2023, told the campaign about the texts during an internal vetting process last year at the beginning of his campaign. Gertner's disclosure of the texts were first reported by the Wall Street Journal.

If you can't win on the facts, try character assassination. It's a surgical strategy. GOP voters would not be put off one bit by charges of infidelity, considering who they voted for in 24, but Dems may go to the bought by Israel RINO, instead of the Dem.
