Combat the Digital Lies Erasing the Truth of October 7th

The hours and days after October 7th left us reeling, but in the months that followed, a different kind of assault began—one that continues every single day. It’s the quiet, insidious creep of misinformation, the digital whispers that seek to rewrite the single most murderous day in Jewish history since the Holocaust. For those of us who feel a deep connection to Israel, who raise our children to be proud of their heritage, watching this narrative unfold is a source of profound pain and anxiety. We see the lies spreading on social media, twisting the truth of what happened and chipping away at the foundation of memory itself.

This isn't a passive erosion; it is an active, coordinated campaign to deny, distort, and justify the atrocities. The consequences are not confined to the digital world. They spill over into the real world, fueling a terrifying surge in antisemitism that has left Jewish communities in the United States feeling more vulnerable than they have in decades. This digital war is being waged on the screens our children look at every day, on the college campuses they will one day attend, and in the global court of public opinion. To stand by and do nothing is to risk letting the loudest, most hateful voices win. It is to risk a future where the truth of October 7th is buried under an avalanche of falsehoods, and where our connection to Israel is defined not by pride and truth, but by the lies of its enemies.

The Cost of Digital Silence

Inaction has a price. When we allow the digital narrative to be hijacked, we are complicit in the desecration of memory. Every time a lie about October 7th goes unchallenged, it becomes a little more believable to someone. False narratives claiming that Israel was responsible for the majority of deaths, or that the atrocities were staged, have spread like wildfire online, deliberately misrepresenting credible reporting to sow doubt and hatred. This is how history is erased. First, they deny the facts. Then, they invert the truth, recasting perpetrators as victims and victims as aggressors. Finally, the world forgets.

The impact on the next generation is perhaps the most devastating cost of all. As parents, we strive to build a world for our children where they can be safe and proud of who they are. But how can they be, when the very history of their people is being systematically dismantled online? This isn't just about defending Israel; it is about defending the very concept of truth. It's about ensuring that our children and grandchildren inherit a world that acknowledges our history, our suffering, and our right to exist in peace and security. The battle for the memory of October 7th is a battle for their future.

Pledge your support to defend the truth and honor the memory of the victims of October 7th.

This is why the Digital Iron Dome was created. It is not enough to simply remember; we must actively defend the truth. Inspired by Israel's legendary missile defense system, the Digital Iron Dome is a proactive technological shield against the deluge of online misinformation. It works by identifying anti-Israel lies and disinformation as they spread and then strategically deploying fact-based content to the very same audiences that have been exposed to the falsehoods. This is not about winning arguments in comment sections. It is a sophisticated, data-driven strategy to reclaim the narrative and ensure that the truth reaches those who need to hear it most.

By joining this effort, you are taking a stand against the tide of digital hatred. You are helping to safeguard the memory of those we lost and protecting the future for our children. Doing nothing is no longer an option. The cost of silence is a world where lies triumph over truth. The Digital Iron Dome offers a way to fight back, to ensure that the memory of October 7th is preserved with the dignity and accuracy it deserves. Your support directly counters the insidious campaigns aimed at delegitimizing Israel and the Jewish people.

• It stops the unchecked spread of conspiracy theories that deny the atrocities of October 7th.

The fight for truth is a marathon, not a sprint. The forces spreading disinformation are relentless, and they will not stop. Every day that we wait, their narratives become more entrenched, making the truth harder to recover. We are at a critical juncture where the historical record is being written in real-time on a global, digital stage. Allowing that record to be corrupted by lies is a betrayal of the victims and a threat to future generations. We must act now to fortify the truth, to build a digital defense that is as resilient and unwavering as the spirit of the Israeli people. This is our shared responsibility.
