How Israel indoctrinates its people w/Miko Peled | The Chris Hedges Report

Three months into Israel's bombardment of Gaza, the atrocities the IDF has committed against Palestinians are too numerous to name. Israel is staging a prolonged assault on the Palestinian people's very means of existence-destroying homes, hospitals, sanitation infrastructure, food and water sources, schools, and more. To understand the genocidal campaign unfolding before our eyes, we must examine the roots of Israeli society. Israel is a settler colonial state whose existence depends on the elimination of Palestinians. Accordingly, Israel is a deeply militarized society whose citizens are raised in an environment of historical revisionism and indoctrination that whitewashes Israel's crimes while cultivating a deep-seated racism against Palestinians. Miko Peled, former IDF Special Forces and author of The General's Son: Journey of an Israeli in Palestine, joins The Chris Hedges Report for a frank conversation on the distortions of history and reality at the foundations of Israeli identity.

I grew up in a settlement in Israel in religious Zionist home, and went on a long journey to deprogram my belief system and see the truth of the situation. I think it’s important to have empathy and compassion for the people whose minds have been captured and indoctrinated, and have had the trauma of the Jewish people’s past weaponized to make them victims of this abuse. A captured mind can’t see beyond the filters of the program, even when it’s in front of their own nose. I know this, because that was me. I know more and more people who are going through an awakening process and have deep hope and knowing that the tides will turn and truth will prevail. Much love to everyone.

[@AshleySteelxxx]

I’m so glad someone is talking about the indoctrination that happens to Israeli youth and Jewish youth in the USA too. The racism and xenophobia and dehumanization of Palestinians is deeply ingrained from a very early age. Not just society but in their schooling curriculum. It’s so important to understand. Right now most Israelis that see the protests around the world to free Palestine…Not only are they told that those protests are for Hamas. Which obviously they aren’t but for freedom which is what Hamas and all Palestinians wish for but they don’t understand at all why people are protesting. They are so far indoctrinated that they literally don’t understand why people around the world would wish them to stop attacking Palestinians In Gaza or the West Bank or even in Israel proper. They just don’t understand because they are so brainwashed. Also something he didn’t bring up that I think is important about October 7th is that it was a military operation. They attacked military bases. They never attacked the concert and were strict about attacking military targets. The did attack settlements but that was against Israelis who were shooting and attacking back. So sure the people around there didn’t expect it and life is good, but it’s very important to point out that the civilian deaths at the concert and the deaths in settlements with hostages and even the military bases, they were fired upon indiscriminately by Israel. When people talked about the horror of what the saw when they went in afterwards that was Israel’s destruction. They used helicopters and tanks and fired upon groups of Israeli citizens fleeing. They killed hundreds of their own people. Also hamas took hostages to exchange with Palestinian children who are held in Israeli prison. So they didn’t kill many there however isreal and the Hannibal directive which we’ve seen footage of they fired on those homes with hostages and Hamas. They fired on fleeing vehicles. They fired on buildings with hundreds of Israeli hostages. There were cars that were attacked and burnt to a crisp with only Israeli citizens and even a child in a car seat. That was the only baby that died and it was Israel. There was no beheadings. There was no cutting out of a fetus there was no rapes. There was none of that. Hamas didn’t tie up hostages and burn them to death. Israel fired on the building where the hostages were tied up and they all died together with Hamas. The lies and racism and dehumanization of Palestinians that Israel constantly spreads throughout the country and the world are lies. And the concert was fired on by Israel, civilians were fired on by Israel. There’s plenty of testimony and video footage of Israel firing upon its own people at a concert whether it was a mistake or not, it happened. Hamas doesn’t even have the weapons to do the damage people saw. And then they blamed Hamas and blamed Hamas for all the civilians that Israel killed themselves. Hell, Israel even blames Hamas for the civilian deaths in Gaza despite the fact that Israel is specifically targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure and not Hamas or their government. I mean they’ve even attacked the UN schools and refugee camps, and then blamed Hamas for all the atrocities they commit themselves. They mowed down pregnant woman with a tank but sure it must be hamas’s fault. They left babies to die and rot in incubators after promising to get an ambulance, but sure blame hamas. Anyway it’s important to at least point out that the destruction that people saw from Oct 7 was very much exacerbated and exaggerated by Israel’s own actions. And then they still went out there and lied through their teeth and said outrageous claims about hamas and Palestinians in order to ramp up racism and hatred of Palestinians. That was the goal. To make Israelis hate all Palestinians and believe them inhumane. When you think they beheaded 20 babies and raped hundreds of woman, and cut out a fetus from a pregnant woman or put a baby in an oven - all claims have been thoroughly disproven, are obvious lies and yet they served the purpose of making Israelis and people around the world believing Palestinians are monsters. Of course it’s all lies. Similar to the lies used against Jews by the Nazis. Which would be ironic if it wasn’t so awful. Still thanks for talking about this. The indoctrination is a serious issue when it comes to actually creating lasting peace. The IDF is posting their own war crimes on social media and celebrating them. They have no remorse because they don’t even see their own racism and bigotry and hatred. They are too brainwashed to realize they are killing innocent humans. Not monsters or human animals but humans. Just regular humans like the rest of us. Palestinians feel like their heart is ripped away when their loved one is taken from them. They pray and ask for help when they feel all is lost. They help and support each other when times are tough. They laugh and cry and fight when they feel there is no other way. And the celebrate when their child is returned home after being tortured in Israeli prison for 3 years, since age 13 for posting a picture of a Palestinian flag on social media. They are just human and I’m grateful the rest of the world is at least waking up to the atrocities of Israel. And it’s segments like this that help the world understand how serious the indoctrination of Israeli youth, and Jewish youth around the world can be. It’s a lot to go against, especially with all the obvious lies and propaganda that is parroted repeatedly about these attacks when none of it happened. The Israeli state has a very clear goal when they push these lies. And we cannot let them continue without trying to spread the truth.

For the spiritual meaning of conquering the Promised Land, this is what the Spanish mystic (saint) John of the Cross wrote: "We find another figure of this in the Book of Joshua. There we read that God commanded Joshua, who was about to enter into possession of the promised land, to destroy everything in the city of Jericho without leaving anything alive, neither men nor women, young nor old, nor any animals. God ordered him not to covet or seize any of the booty [Jos. 6:18-19, 21]. The lesson here is that all objects living in the soul - whether they be many or few, large or small - must die in order that the soul enter divine union, and it must bear no desire for them but remain detached as though they were nonexistent to it, and it to them. St. Paul teaches this clearly in Corinthians: What I tell you, brothers, is that the time is short; what remains and suits you is that those with wives should act as though they had none, and those who weep for the things of this world as though they were not weeping, and those who rejoice as though not rejoicing, and the buyers as though they did not possess, and the users of the world should behave as though they made no use of it [1 Cor. 7:29-31]. In this text the Apostle teaches us how detached our souls must be from all things in order to go to God." ~St. John of the Cross. ❤

When WW2 happened Hitler made it one of his acts to criminalize this group of people. He had national sentiment because so many people had similar feelings. He said many of what you call jews speak Yiddish, not Hebrew and many are not Hebrews but polish. This is something I learned from research as well as a rabbi I knew confirmed.

I am sorry, I understand the importance of understanding Israel and the entirety, from creation through present day….but as I listen I cannot help but feel the exact similarities as having grown up in a family of multigenerational military officers or in more common words as a military brat. My father like his father was an officer. He served in the Vietnam war, as a squadron commander and in aiding cia with reconnaissance. Most of his friends continued with the miltary and cia, with orquestrating the Iran-Contra scandal. To have these people in our home on holidays, their stories and laughter yet sunken hollows behind their eyes…. I was raised to shoot and be a survivalists before school age. However before adulthood I became an activist, a black sheep one might say. I advocated before the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and actually left the U$ for good. The damnation I received from my family and the government for siding with law and morality was the climax of hypocrisy. Now today, these beyond saintly men are broken and abandoned by their amorality and beliefs in a criminal government. Their minds and bodies plagued with the chemicals and nightmares of war.

@@Clippidyclappidy what i meant was the general historical Israeli view, this guy wasn't alive during the 40s and 50s was he, nor was he around during the countless Intifiada's and Arab league attacks, he was a baby when those happened And just because he as an Israeli supports the Palestinian narrative (which is fine) doesn't mean it's from the Israelis point of view. Would you say the same for a Palestinian Arab supporting the Israeli view? because plenty of those exist and are around in the world not only on the internet or on the news, and it's not nessecary to be patronizing that's not helping anyone but make yourself feel better, He does bring up his own point of view which is important im not denying that, but it doesn't go without saying that he mocks it by the tone of his voice and has a ton of implications which he doesn't go into detail about, leaves vague not to mention that this news channel is pretty biased with and within itself but that's irrelevant. Israel has done plenty of bad things within it's history i think we can both agree on that, however it is not for no reason or government gain like this guy claims at all, and a lot of the myths which he mocks and this title says is indoctrination actually is true and is founded in truth, it's just fact that Israel's arab neighbours have attacked it multiple times throughout it's history startinf from the day it was created, Terror attacks, horrendous ones, the recent October 7th, and even further back like the countless Bus bombings, Yom Kippur Restaurant bombings and the Intifada's are the reason the Israeli government is so paranoid in the first place, what makes me frustrated are people who claim that it's all false, and that the Arab nations are the victims. Yes it's extremely bad what's happening to people in Gaza, but the poeple claiming to be protecting them, Hamas, are using them to gain moral support on the international stage, and the Hamas leaders who are worth billions sit in huge mansions in Qatar while their people are getting bombed everyday, yes it's horrible even Israelis can agree on that, But Hamas who were voted in by the Gazans have brought this upon themselves. And to finish off about the Sinai, Israel gave that back to Egypt, the stragetically important both militarily and economically as it sits on the Suez canal, Sinai, Israel gave the entire Mass of the Sinai back to Egypt so not really sure what he means when he brings that one up.

It is so sad that you believe him (if he ever existed at all), let alone spread that lie here to further incite this mob. Suffice it to read the comments to realize how insane the blood libels still are after all these centuries. Just to clarify: no way did any Israeli soldier beat up someone over a "comment". I would like to know how he even came into interaction with soldiers, since they don't roam the streets on a regular basis. If he did get beaten (which I doubt), then he did something like charge at someone with a weapon. There is plenty of footage showing the incredible restraint Israeli soldiers exercise. I know you're not in the habit of questioning, but try asking yourself: if Muslims are so peaceful and just, how come all Muslim countries in the Middle East such atrociously violent, failing and oppressive places? Then inquire how it is that only Israel is a democracy, where Arabs are judges, engineers and doctors? By the way, in the IDF Jews fight together with Druze, Christians and Muslims. Just one of many trifles conveniently overlooked by your hero.

[@macanoodough]

A couple of points I'd like to make are: Maybe 10.07 was worse in how many Israeli's got killed, but if the Palestinians took back 22% of their land in the early 70's, that would make that attack worse. Take into account that the IDF may be responsible for as many as 20% of the deaths on 10.07 by virtue of the Hannibal doctrine, and 10.07 looks less and less like a terror attack and more like the insurgency it actually is. Then there's the bit about the holocaust. Ashkenazi were being murdered by Germany, not Sephardic, or Israelis. There may have been one here or there, but 99% of the Jews who were being exterminated were Ashkenazi. This is important because: A: Israelis were safe except for their own war they were waging at the time. B: While Israel loves to play the holocaust card, and they love the Ashkenazi for qualifying that card, they actually sponsor archeological and anthropologist's research to work to find biological proof that the Ashkenazi are not ethnic Jews and therefore do not have a right to Israel the same way as ethnic Jews. This would essentially make them second class citizens in Israel. So Israeli racism knows no bounds as they'll gladly cannibalize their own if they feel it suits their purpose. And they themselves dishonor the memory of Jews exterminated by Germany in the 30's and 40's.

[@janeking9540]

Good points. It's very hard to change the narrative of the 7th Oct, since the dominent impression the impassive general public get is that of 40 babies beheaded (even though dropped as propaganda), it was replaced with stories of horrific rape.

[@msavina9129]

And the invention of Mizrahim. The false flag attacks in Baghdad making those Arab Jews think the Arabs were attacking bc Israel needed more Jews to fill up Israel, but when they got there, they were like EEK!! They are so Arab, so they ethnically cleansed them of their likeness of Arabs. Did you know they created modern Hebrew too? Biblical Hebrew was a dead language so they felt they needed their own language for their new identity. They started creating it around 1880 and even made up thousands of words. The man who made it, made his wife only speak Hebrew to their son. It's an amazing feat and by around 1922 the Brits declared Hebrew the language of Jewish Palestine. All this work of Zionism decades before it became a state. Christian Zionism is also a new invention that came from Scofield Reference Bible and with the help of Zionists. This is where the rapture came from, that the Jews must return n build temple so Christ can return. That got popularized in the 70's and took over a lot of Christianity in the West. The conspiring that has gone on to achieve Israel and keep it is vast. There's conspiracy that under Al Aqsa there is hidden knowledge by the Free Masons. Arafat lost it when Israelis started tunneling under it and it caused a major uproar. Maybe one of the Intifadas. But this is probably the belief of the new religious Jewish Zionists that author was referring to. All of this needs revealed. We are being controlled by Zionists in two religions.

The stress of having to move at his age killed him. That's what they do with our aid. That's why the Pentagon refuses an audit. Little of that money goes to "defense", a lot of the rest of it goes into the stock exchange to pump ups stocks of rich oligarch families and put it on the natl debt for the next generation to pay off.

With emotions being high right now, it's very difficult for me to listen to this interview. I can only handle so much anger and not allow it to consume me. It's a battle for balance right now. "Be angry, yet sin not.". From what I have gathered from this and other interviews is that Zionists became what they hated. Better to be the victimizer than to be a victim ever again. But they struck out against, as mentioned, not the people who committed the genocide against them, but at everyone around them that wasn't a part of their group. Given the same impuntiy that the SS were given. Basically bringing with them the same tools that had been used by the Nazis against them, to subjugate those around them. It hasn't escaped my attention that they have taken the flag and the Psalms of King David, yet ignored completely the Proverbs of King Solomon his son. Great Wisdom given to him on life and conduct. Had that also been adopted, taught and followed, they would have been loved and respected. Not needing the military might they've gathered or the brutality they've adopted.
