PNN – Despite the enormous costs that the occupying regime and its supporters have spent over the past seven decades to propagate the Zionist narrative around the world, the revelation of the regime’s true face in the Gaza war brought this narrative to the brink of collapse.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing the Al-Arabi Al-Jadeed website, the Zionist regime has been concerned about its media image in the world from the beginning and has used all possible means to impose its narrative on the world.
How did the media become a weapon in the Zionist arsenal?
Since the establishment of the fake Zionist regime, the media has not been merely a propaganda tool, but has been considered an advanced weapon in the regime’s arsenal. Alan Dershowitz, author of the 2003 book “The Case of Israel,” said about the importance of the media for the Zionist regime that winning the battle for international public opinion is more important than any battle in the air or on the ground.
Over the past decades, the Zionist regime has relied on three media pillars: it has always tried to present itself as a permanent victim of Muslim hostility, to promote any attack or assault carried out against the regime as “terrorism” and “anti-Semitism,” and to monopolize the definition of violence and victimhood. These three media pillars that the Zionists relied on have been accompanied by official and widespread support from the West and America, both at the popular and governmental levels.

The Gaza War and the fall of the Zionist Narrative
But after the events related to the Gaza War, and while Western governments continued to support the Zionist regime and its narratives, a major popular uprising took place in the Western world. Where, after witnessing the Zionist army’s bombing of hospitals and schools, the killing of innocent women and children, the destruction of signs of life, the starvation of civilians to the point of death, and other brutal crimes committed by this regime, people realized that the narrative that had been spread about Zionism up until now was in no way consistent with reality. Thus, the Zionist regime is in a very difficult situation in the media battle, and its narrative is at risk of collapse.
Therefore, it can be said that the losses suffered by the Zionist regime in the Gaza war can be examined in three ways: The social crises that intensified the war and deepened the division and fragmentation in the regime’s society, the army that has lost its deterrent power, its ability to win, and its ability to achieve the war goals it had set in the early days, and the third loss, the consequences of which may be even greater than the previous two, is the collapse of the Zionist narrative in the world’s public opinion, especially among the young generation who are shaping the future.
Today, the long-running war in the Gaza Strip has become a double-edged sword for the Zionist regime; where the regime has used all possible means, especially military pressure, to achieve its goals of destroying the resistance and freeing Zionist prisoners from Gaza, but has not succeeded. On the other hand, as the military pressure of the occupying regime on Gaza increases, the true image of this regime is increasingly revealed to the world’s public opinion, to the point that many believe that the Zionist army has surpassed the Nazis in brutality and criminality.
Spread of popular hatred of Zionists around the world
Surveys conducted by international institutions indicate the world’s growing hatred of Zionists, which is considered a strategic threat to the existence of this regime. The Israeli Institute for Homeland Security Studies announced in a report on the guiding principles of the regime’s doctrine and policy for 2025 and 2026 that the Palestinian narrative has gained greater legitimacy in the world and is putting significant pressure on Tel Aviv and its allies. This could limit Tel Aviv’s freedom of action and expose it to severe international condemnation and isolation. We see signs of this situation clearly in the changing positions of international media figures and celebrities and their criticism of Zionism. This is despite the fact that these same figures supported the Zionist regime at the beginning of the Gaza war. On the other hand, some Western governments have been forced to take unprecedented positions against the occupying regime and talk about recognizing the state of Palestine.
Of course, although Western countries do not intend to recognize the state of Palestine in the true sense, and this state is not going to be formed according to their positions, expressing such a threat against the Zionist regime is evidence of its clear decline and significant damage to the Zionist narrative in the world.
Surveys conducted among Europeans by the Guardian newspaper, published last June, show that public support for the Zionist regime in Western European countries has reached its lowest point, and comparing Western nations’ support for Tel Aviv before and after the Gaza war indicates a strategic disaster for the regime.
A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center also showed that 53% of Americans have a negative view of the Zionist regime.
Observers in Hebrew affairs and circles believe that the current crisis facing the Zionist regime is the result of the strategic blindness that has gripped the regime and its supporters since the beginning of the Gaza war. In fact, the collapse of the Zionist narrative in the world is not due to the negligence or shortcomings of the media platforms supporting this regime, but rather, this happened in the shadow of the exposure of the barbaric nature of Zionism after its inhumane crimes against innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip.
Therefore, the failure of the Zionist narrative is not due to the negligence of the media that supports it; especially since these media still conduct a lot of propaganda for the Zionists and spend a lot of money on their propaganda. But on the other hand, the credibility of the Palestinian narrative has been enhanced by direct images from Gaza and scenes of Palestinian oppression along with resistance to oppression, and it plays a major role in exposing the lies of the Zionist narrative.
