Recorded back in March, this special part 2 of our deep-dive with renowned British author and commentator Douglas Murray, we turn the spotlight to the implications for Western democracies and the stakes at play for not just Israel but the Western World. How do democracies like Israel battle a terrorist organization like Hamas on the information front? What happens behind closed doors when world leaders, journalists, and spokespersons debate the truth?

Douglas gives a raw, unfiltered look into the invisible battlefield: one waged on TV screens, in headlines, and through viral tweets. This is the side of the war you won’t see on the news.

- Douglas’s take on the moral confusion in the West
- Why the media war is as important as the military one

Israel is fighting two wars: one on the battlefield—and one in the headlines. In this explosive episode, Eylon Levy is joined by Israeli-American OSINT sleuth Eitan Fischberger, who breaks down how Hamas has manipulated the global media narrative through lies, disguises, and infiltration.

Fischberger, who rocketed from 2,000 to over 40,000 Twitter followers since October 7, reveals:
• How open-source evidence shows Gaza “journalists” moonlighting as Hamas commanders
• The Hamas-run media training programs feeding footage to Al Jazeera and CNN
• The shocking case of a hospital director exposed as a Hamas colonel
• Why the IDF’s failure to communicate evidence is costing Israel the information war
• Why major news outlets refuse to admit they’ve been duped by terrorists

Watch how one man’s keyboard is doing the work of an army—and why the West's naïveté is Hamas’s greatest weapon.
