The anti-Israel mob has a new mission: to erase the truth about October 7, 2023. The sadistic violence unleashed by Hamas that day – with mass killing, torture, sexual assaults, beheadings, mutilations, the murder of entire families and people burned alive – was so grotesque, that it threatened to expose the true objective of the mob: not a peaceful two-state solution, but annihilating Israel though violence.

The massacre may have opened some people’s eyes, but not in left-wing and Islamist circles. They immediately responded with a tsunami of hatred and violence against Israel, fuelled by lies and conspiracies. Their campaign to vilify Israel and Jews through blood libels – such as false claims of ‘genocide’ – has been so successful that even MPs and the London mayor have adopted the same rhetoric.

Yet their mission isn’t complete. Vilification works best when nobody remembers the horrific events that started the war – therefore, the history of 7 October must be rewritten.
