The propaganda campaigns against Israel rely on an industry of manufactured “expertise.” Without the ability to appeal to the authority of such “experts,” the campaigns collapse. For anyone who’s been paying attention in the past few days, the collapse is everywhere you look.

First there was the Sky News anchor hectoring Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon over Israel’s strike on a tunnel system beneath a Gaza hospital to eliminate senior Hamas officials, notably its de facto leader Muhammad Sinwar, brother of Oct. 7 architect Yahya Sinwar. The anchor insisted Israel was wrong to say there were tunnels underneath the hospital and surrounding area because “our experts”—a phrase she repeated in the vain hopes it would sound convincing—said so.

You’ll never guess what happened next. That’s right—Hamas confirmed that the targeted area was indeed the site of a tunnel system, and added more context. It was, Hamas said, destroyed by the IDF in the 2014 Gaza war and since rebuilt. It was there that Israel attempted to take out Sinwar.

Then yesterday, along with reports of another Sinwar’s elimination (Mohammad’s brother Zakaria) came reports that Muhammad Sinwar’s body was indeed found in the tunnel system targeted by the IDF.

Who are Sky News’s “experts”? One of them is Corey Scher, who was a key “expert” behind a 2023 Associated Press story that claimed “The Israeli military campaign in Gaza, experts say, now sits among the deadliest and most destructive in history.”

Experts say! As I noted at the time, that claim is obviously false. But Scher’s research depended on radar readings that were mostly mysterious to Scher as well. As a separate article on that study noted, “the researchers said they were able to detect the number of buildings damaged, but were not able to determine how badly the buildings had been affected.”

The research also based its findings on the assumption that any change in the echoes of radar waves was from Israeli bombing.

And so by reading the actual article, one learned that this study was childish nonsense. Now its leading researcher is back to say that the IDF lied about tunnels, only to be immediately contradicted by Hamas itself.

Will Sommer at The Bulwark:

Bro podcast antisemitism

The bro-comedy podcasts that helped Trump win the election and set off much agonizing about the right’s overwhelming podcast advantage have taken up a hot new topic: antisemitism and even, in one case, general Adolf Hitler apologia. This month, mega-popular podcasters like Joe Rogan and Theo Von have hosted a series of antisemitic conspiracy theorists for friendly interviews. It’s a new trend that raises ominous questions about what happens when “just-asking-questions” small talk gets aired on the biggest platforms imaginable. On March 5, Rogan hosted conspiracy theorist Ian Carroll, who has claimed that Jews did 9/11. Among other things, Carroll called sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein “a dark stain on Israel and on the Jewish people.” A few days later, Rogan interviewed podcaster Darryl Cooper, who goes by the name “Martyr Made” online. Cooper was in the news last year for saying on Tucker Carlson’s online show that Winston Churchill—rather than Hitler—was the “the chief villain of the Second World War.” Cooper has been working on a podcast that attempts to see the war from the German perspective, and used his Rogan appearance to argue—more than a bit disingenuously—that 40 million deaths could have been averted in the war if only the Allies had let Hitler remain in power. For his part, Rogan said Cooper was “an educator . . . an unconventional educator.” Not to be outdone, comedian Theo Von hosted Candace Owens, who was fired a year ago from the right-wing website the Daily Wire following a series of antisemitic remarks. Owens told Von that Israel controls the United States through blackmail schemes. Despite their tens of millions of listeners, these podcasts aren’t renowned for the care they take in selecting their guests. Still, the sudden rise of all these anti-Jewish conspiracy theories on some of the country’s biggest podcasts over just a few weeks was notable enough that it occasioned some pushback on the right. Jeremy Boreing, the CEO of the Daily Wire, tweeted that Carroll’s interview on Rogan’s show marked “a terrible day for American Jews.” “This way lies madness—and worse than madness,” he added. So what’s going on here? I suspect that, with the right ascendant politically and culturally, bad-boy podcasters have run short of DEI sacred cows to skewer. Now, in an effort to keep churning out provocative content, they’re pivoting toward antisemitism.

[...] Last year, the federal government revealed that Pool—along with such other right-wing luminaries as Benny Johnson and Dave Rubin—was receiving gobsmacking amounts of money from Russia to make videos for a little-watched YouTube channel called Tenet Media. In Pool’s case, he made $100,000 for each weekly video he made for Tenet, which would work out to millions of dollars a year. Pool, like his other former Tenet Media colleagues, claimed he had no idea the money was coming from Russia. But that spigot, clearly, has been turned off.

Will Sommer details how MAGA-adjacent influencers Joe Rogan and Theo Von’s platforming of antisemitic guests such as Candace Owens normalizes antisemitism among its listeners.

This combination of arrogance and ignorance is a hallmark of the “just asking questions” influencer corps. At the same time, there is something telling about Gaines’s crazy statement that no one knew what a Zionist was until October 7, after which “people started looking into this conflict.” On October 7, only one side was carrying out violence, and all that violence was against innocent Israelis. There’s an echo of this same idea near the end of the Joe Rogan–Ian Carroll interview. Carroll goes on a rant about the Jewish state being essentially a criminal enterprise founded and governed by mobsters and terrorists. Then Rogan cuts in and says: “And what’s interesting is, you can talk about this now, post–October 7.” To which Carroll responds: “Exactly. It opened wide open.”

October 7 was a moment of Jewish vulnerability, and it brought a particular coalition of alienated Internet celebrities out of the woodwork: washed-up UFC fighters, wannabe pick-up artists, pseudo-historians and philosopher-bros chasing respectability, trust-fund Instagram royals seeking validation from serious-minded people, right-wing populist lay preachers with a persecution complex. These are self-styled tough guys (and gals) who can’t explain how a state made up of supposed genetic degenerates keeps coming out on top. Israel is the Jew of the nation-states; how did it field a fearsome army and a network of super-spies? It must be lying, cheating, and stealing.

Nick Fuentes, ironically, has been the most honest and forthright about the envy and frustration of the tough guys and the “master race” types. In December, a bit over a year after the war started, Israel had turned the tables on its pursuers. Fuentes, on his America First show, had a radically self-aware meltdown. “It’s time for a little self-reflection, it’s time for a little honesty,” Fuentes said smiling, palms held up as if in surrender. “Do you know how much it sucks being on the other side of Israel?” Then came a brief airing of grievances: “They killed everybody in Hezbollah. They made Hezbollah look like an absolute b—ch when they blew up all their pagers. And then they blew up all their other stuff the next day, and then they killed them all.” He concluded: “Damn, this sucks. It’s just watching this defeat in slow motion.”

The world of right-wing influencers is obsessed with conquest and superiority, and on October 7 they thought their time had finally come. Yet 18 months later, they’re back where they started. So they have taken their quest to the 21st century’s version of the wise men atop the mountain: the podcast maestros with massive audiences and an endless appetite for questioning everything. They are crowdsourcing their war on the Jews.

Funny now that Will Sommer is writing for the Bulwark, the neocons having to bring in the expert in the nasty details of who actually supported conservatism..
