One of the most effective tactics used for years by Arab and Islamist states, NGOs, and activist networks against Israel has not been battlefield confrontation—but legal, moral, and political warfare designed to weaken Israel’s ability to defend itself.
Israel has been relentlessly accused over how it fights: which weapons it uses, which targets it strikes, and how it responds to civil unrest mixed deliberately with terrorism. These accusations are amplified through international institutions, street protests, and endless media pressure—often regardless of facts or context. The goal has always been clear: constrain Israel until deterrence collapses.
Now, that same playbook is being deployed against the United States.
The ongoing anti-ICE riots are not just spontaneous protests. They mirror the same strategy used against Israel: delegitimize enforcement agencies, criminalize self-defense, and portray state authority as inherently immoral. In Israel’s case, the target was the IDF. In America’s case, it is ICE, border enforcement, and federal authority itself.
