The film is just the symptom: Israel is losing the most dangerous front of all

Sagiv Assulin, a former senior Mossad official, argues that the anti-Israeli film is a psychological attack on the eighth front, fired from within the house. He warns of a network of organizations and public figures funding and providing backing to the delegitimization enterprise, and states that Israel wins on the physical fronts but consistently loses on the psychological front.

Sagiv Assulin, a former senior Mossad official, analyzes in an opinion piece the anti-Israeli film as a symptom of a deeper problem: the war of consciousness, which he calls 'the eighth front.' According to him, this is a real combat front, not a metaphorical one, with attackers, casualties, and strategic consequences. Assulin claims the film is a 'psychological attack' fired from within the house, linking Jews abroad, the New Israel Fund, George Soros, Ehud Barak, the Democratic Party, and Israeli left-wing candidates as providing backing. He calls this phenomenon 'auto-antisemitism' and 'self-hatred that has become an industry.' The article states that Israel wins on the physical fronts but consistently loses on the eighth front, while facing an organized system with budgets and manpower, and on the Israeli side there is improvisation and volunteers. Assulin demands that the eighth front be defined as an official security threat, and that security mechanisms and a dedicated administration be established under the Prime Minister's Office. He ends with a threat to the film's creators, that on the day the front is officially defined, they will be defined as traitors.
