The Eighth Front outlines Israel’s strategy to counter a "modern war" against Jews—led by the U.S. and allies—through AI-trained LLMs, deplatforming, and legal action, including $5M lawsuits like one against the speaker. The ADL filed over 1,000 cases last year, while the ZOA pushes for jail, deportation, and funding cuts for "wannabe Nazis." Unifying national data (healthcare, genomics) to track enemies, they warn anti-Semitism fuels national decline, urging Gentiles to ally with Israel. First Amendment limits and pro-Israel immigration are proposed, framing opposition as inseparable from hate. History, they argue, will favor those who act—not just denounce—while AI’s role in both conflict and peace remains a double-edged sword. [Automatically generated summary]
I tend to steer it along with the achievement of a broader peace.
And history is within reach.
So what Israel is fighting here is not merely a seven-front war, but an eight-front war.
For the Jews against Rome.
Rome and Jerusalem clashed over values with a great tragedy for the Jewish people.
But we lost that one.
We have to win the next war.
But the new Rome, the United States, Jews against Rome.
We stopped playing defense and have moved to offense.
The weapons change over time.
You can't fight today with swords.
That doesn't work very well.
But we need the kind of genius that manufactured Apollo gold pagers and infiltrated Hezbollah for over a decade to prepare for this battle.
But we have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefields within which we're engaged.
And the most important ones are the social media.
Because the next war will be decided based on how Israel and its allies perform online as much as offline.
This is the eighth front, the disinformation campaign.
It is actually this eighth front where our enemies believe they can actually defeat the Jewish state.
This is the kind of ingenuity and inventiveness that have always been a hallmark of the state of Israel, that have always been a characteristic of the Jewish people.
I know we can do it.
A lot of this is done with money.
Invested billions and billions of dollars in the information battlefield.
Money of NGOs, vast.
Money of governments, vaster.
We prohibit harmful stereotypes about Jewish people, such as claims that Jews control financial, political, or media institutions.
You're damn right, we're going to cancel them and deplatform them.
We monitor them online.
Social media, messaging apps, video games, cryptocurrency.
Hitler admires, Stalin admires, Jew haters.
Podcasts, short form video, Wikipedia, LLM.
American haters, Churchill haters.
We monitor these people and we share the intelligence with the FBI.
You think your stupid little podcast is going to change the world like hell it is?
Social media, this is the new battlefield.
You don't get to wrap your psychotic, mental, unhinged, Nazi.
We do not allow Holocaust denial and distortion.
And the most important purchase that is going on right now is TikTok.
TikTok.
TikTok.
Number one.
For every 30 minutes that someone watches TikTok, they become 17% more anti-Semitics.
So you have TikTok just smashing our young people's brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza.
And we really have a TikTok problem.
Because anything that we try to say to them, they are hearing it through this wall of carnage.
And I sound obscene.
Anti-Zionism is just Jew hatred.
We made a change.
We updated our policies.
To designate the use of the term Zionist.
To recognize that the term Zionist as a proxy for a protected attribute.
Can be used as a proxy for Jews and Israelis.
As hate speech.
Why can't Israel be doing some sort of counterintelligence?
Right now, the ADL is co-writing Sunday school curriculum.
Information warfare like this.
It's building the technology to train the LLMs more effectively.
Like a psychological operations in America.
As part of a robust framework to combat anti-Semitism, we have industry-leading policies designed with the safety of the Jewish community in mind.
You're right, we control the media.
So what are you going to do about it?
Are you going to pitch on Twitter?
Like, okay.
Meanwhile, we're going to control more of the media.
And working with OpenAI, with Alphabet, with Anthropic, with Meta, with Microsoft, we are working with them now to train the LLMs.
We also have, I think, over two dozen Jewish organizations that are constantly feeding us intelligence and information.
So number one, we measure and track.
Number two, we monitor and disrupt.
We have a whole apparatus.
I have 40 analysts working full time, seven days a week, 24 hours a day, monitoring extremists.
Monitoring campuses, digital networks, activist groups, and public officials.
We have several PhDs on staff.
We have a network of academics and scholars we work with around the country.
I've talked to the leaders of AI in the world and you ask yourself, there's so many blessings in this, but there could be a curse.
First thing a country needs to do is to unify all of their data so it can be consumed and used by the AI model.
We need to invest in intelligence to understand who are the anti-Semites, who's funding them, what's their plan, who are the leaders.
And then once we have that, we can define who is an enemy we can attack.
You have to take all of your health care data, your diagnostic data, your genomic data.
We have to take all of this data we have in our country and move it into a single, if you will, unified data platform.
Once we have all this information, we need to empower and mobilize an ecosystem of many organizations that we can incentivize them to work together, to share, and to fight against our common enemies.
Mobilizing millions of people, of allies that are quietly by our side.

Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on.
You know, anti-Semites, most of these people running around, we're not going to win their hearts and minds because they don't have hearts and they don't have minds.
So, you know, how are we going to, there's no reason to think we're ever going to convince them, but we can deport them, we can put them in jail, we can make their lives miserable, we can cut off their funding.
You've got all these conspiracy theorists online going on and on and on about how, you know, if you try and say anything, if you try and do anything against Jews, they're going to come after you.
We have featured more than 1,000 anti-Semites and they're going to destroy you and take away your business.
And therefore, you have to be really, really scared.
These Jew haters have faced real consequences, including firings, suspensions, and expulsions.
And it's kind of starting to come true.
We will shine a light on you that will follow you for the rest of your life.
When you look for a job, when you look for a spouse, when you look for a nanny, when you look for anything.
And I love that.
I love it.
We remove hate speech against Zionists when these harmful stereotypes about Jews are invoked.
In the past 12 months, ADL has filed more lawsuits than in the prior 112 years.
Over the weekend, I received concerning news that I was being sued for $5 million.
Defendant frequently posts anti-Israel rhetoric accusing Israel of controlling the United States and its politicians.
We at the ZOA will fight these dangerous and monstrous lies with all of our hearts and souls.
No appeasement, no conciliation, only a war against this racist hatred of the Jewish people.
When there is a war, it doesn't matter who your enemy is.
You need to destroy their offspring to prevent them from creating more offspring.
What you try to do is you want to corral your victim.
But in fact, your countries are the victim.
So you dehumanize a group of people in human society and you prepare them for the kill, for the butchery.
A government can do in two months more than any organization can do in its lifetime.
The J7 is comprised of the seven largest diaspora communities.
We meet every other week via Zoom to share information, to share best practices.
And we're running everything all the time from focus groups to attitudinal surveys to like randomized controlled trials to identify what interventions work most effectively.
Finally, we have meetings that are some off the record, some on the record with world leaders in which we share our community's concerns and call for action.
The entire education system in this country, from K through 12 and colleges, must be reformed.
But it's time to limit the First Amendment in order to protect it.
The way we solve anti-Semitism is pretty goddamn simple.
Take control over what they are saying.
Send their ass to jail.
It's not complicated.
And quickly before it's too late.
We're monitoring political Islamists and Christian nationalists, all of them.
And then we train.
We're the largest trainer of law enforcement in America, Shimzam Hay.
We train 20,000 officers every year.
Try that again.
We deeply value our partnership with law enforcement.
We've been working with them literally since the FBI was founded in the 1930s.
I think so.
Is that your account?
That guy who consistently calls for the death of all Palestinians.
That can probably incite somebody to do something radical.
That's what we're here to talk about, to, I would think, to refrain from posting things like that.
We are going to have a whole division within the office of the Special Envoy to Combat Anti-Semitism that is going to work on technology.
We must take all of our technological expertise and all of our available resources to develop methods to launch and win a significant counter-information campaign.
The product of our, you know, of our technical capacities and sometimes technical and intelligence genius.
And we're happy to do it.
The office is going to be revamped entirely to be one of the highest profile offices in the State Department.
Because it's not working.
Too many young people have never heard of the Holocaust.
The only solution right now is for the governments to decide that all the Jews are a protected minority.
That means that the government will be obliged to provide the security upgrades to security.
Jewish community shouldn't have to be paying for it.
We have to pay for our own armed guns?
Are you serious?
To fund institutions, culture, and that everybody in Europe will learn about the Jewish contribution and why they should cherish Jewish presence.
All your synagogues, all your shoals, all paid for.
Everything.
Everything that you need is paid for.
I, for one, as a Jewish leader, will no longer talk about anti-Semitism in isolation from Israel.
It's what we want immediately.
If you ask any Jew, what do you want?
What do you want?
No more protests.
No more protests.
I'm not an anti-Semite.
I just don't like the government of Bibi Netanyahu.
No, you're a Jew hater.
Would a group be banned if it accuses Israel of genocide or apartheid?
If those criteria are satisfied, then that is the case.
Any candidate running for a seat in this building, whether for Congress or Senate, we will target them as they target us.
Accordingly, we will start a fund to help their opponents.
Beginning already in Q1, hedge funds get set up in Israel so we become another capital of finance.
I'll argue we will beat London within a short decade as a second capital of finance.
It's going to be New York as a gateway to America, Hong Kong a gateway to China, Dubai a gateway to Southeast Asia, and Israel as a gateway to other parts of the world.
So we heard earlier about a mission, a goal to bring a million immigrants to Israel.
History has proven that when a country starts with allowing anti-Semitism, the results are not kind to that country.
I want to make a warning to somebody else, and that's American Gentiles.
The minute your country is taken over by anti-Semitism, the minute you start to be a country that's not blessing Israel but cursing Israel, you have begun the process of shrinking away from your empire.
And you can decide, you can stay here in New York in a declining empire, or you can come to Israel, which is part of the rising middle of the world, which is moving south and east.
That's what I encourage you to do.
Our faith in the American project itself has been shaken.
The only serious answer to this challenge is to believe again that being Jewish is the most important thing in the world.
When we're kicked out of America in America, you know, the whole thing is done, the whole American Jewish project is done, we're going to be fine for decades.
American society allowed Jews to live normal lives.
This was a pleasant holiday from our destiny.
The holiday is over.
The Western culture that stands against the Jews is going down.
The West will survive only if it decides to love itself and if it decides to love us, the Jewish people.
The Jewish people are not normal.
We never really were.
And now that Israel has turned the entire geopolitical situation on its head, our job in the diaspora is to leverage those wins and win here.
Do to our enemies here, what Israel did to its enemies there.
And to the world, I say this.
History will not remember those who merely denounced hatred in polite language.
History will remember those who acted.
This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis.
That's what they are.
Anti-Semitism is pure evil.
If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities, we will find you, we will achieve justice.
I think we're at the cusp of a new age because I think that we will achieve the expansion of peace.
I think that we are in a new age because I think that the possibilities of technology with their risks, especially in AI, but with their positive benefits, are enormous in every field.
