Qatargate and the Submarine Affair: Claims of Media Framing

In recent months, studios have drummed into us nonstop the affair

Qatargate

Protest organizers know how to use words and framing to plant associations of historic corruption in the public mind

Another desperate attempt of theirs that failed

And look how it works

The Qatargate affair quickly became fuel for the protests

A nod to Metzudat Ze'ev, Likud headquarters

Bizarre costumes of the prime minister standing over soldiers' graves, scattering banknotes to Qataris

Exactly like Case 3000

The Submarines Affair

which led the Balfour crowd and the protest to put on an impressive submarine parade

that would be filmed, covered, and make the news in Israel and abroad

I'm an example of a campaign success

We decide to flood the discourse with the submarine issue

This isn't an investigation, it's a production

But then comes the moment when reality explodes

Judge Mizrahi rules that all restrictions on Jonathan Urich are lifted.

These are the findings from the investigation of the case:

No suspicion of harming state security was substantiated.

No Shin Bet report for four months.

And the only one with restrictions is Jonathan Urich.

Curious why him, when all the others are completely free.

In fact, the judge said something like this.

This does not hold water.

But for months the public got headlines, commentary, and insinuations,

until it was etched into consciousness,

as if there were a serious security case here.

It’s fake.

And it’s exactly the same pattern we saw in Netanyahu’s cases:

repeat slogans and hammer them over and over,

until part of the public starts to believe.

What remains of all this fake?

That instead of Watergate they got a balloon that burst on them in the studio.

So next time you see bombastic headlines in the media,

remember:

This is not journalism.

This is strategy.

To turn our vote at the ballot box

into illegitimate.
