A modern commandment

[SF]

Perhaps there is one more commandment for our generation:

Do not be fooled.

Do not surrender your judgment to propaganda, disinformation, political manipulation, or convenient narratives—regardless of who produces them.

For decades, Moscow has confronted Israel and the Jewish people on multiple levels: military, diplomatic, ideological, informational, and through the manipulation of international narratives. Yet the most successful operation may have been making its influence difficult to recognize—even by those directly affected by it.

The lesson is therefore larger than Israel or antisemitism. Humanity must learn to ask: Who is telling me this? What is the evidence? What interests are being served? What information am I not being shown?

The objective should not be to replace one propaganda narrative with another. It should be to restore independent thinking.

Do not get fooled by anybody.

That may be one of the most important commandments of the modern age: end the deception, expose the disinformation, examine the evidence, and allow humanity to think for itself.
