The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

“The pen is mightier than the sword”. Or at least that’s what we’ve been taught to believe. The media had always been perceived as our trusted source of knowledge of the happenings in the world around us. The words they used to capture our attention and to manifest imagery in our minds of what they were telling us about had always had profound impact. Words can stir emotions in us. They can build us up. They can unite us. But what happens when those very institutions we once trusted instead choose to weaponize their words to drive an agenda lacking objectivity and integrity?

Wars are brutal. People on all sides lose their lives. Wars are relentless, unforgiving, and merciless in the pursuit of victory by opposing forces. On the battlefield, it is the sword that is mightier than the pen. But when the pen is weaponized to manipulate the story of the war, when the victims can be painted as the perpetrators, and the perpetrators as the victims, when “genocides” can be manufactured by the mere touch of a few keys of a laptop, or photographs can be cunningly edited to create something that isn’t, then the mind of the unsuspecting reader can be exploited and controlled to believe whatever the author may decide.

If there’s one thing I’ve realized during the past six months of this war, it’s that integrity of the pen has lost it’s meaning, and those wielding the pen are no more than terrorists themselves too gutless to fight on the battlefield and instead cower behind their pen to entrap the weak-minded.

And I’ve learned that the weak-minded are everywhere, in all shapes and sizes. As a species we’ve become lazy, and many among us are incapable of thinking for themselves. They’ve wilfully allowed themselves to become prey to the media who only serve to sabotage their logic and feed them an agenda rather than truth.

I’ve learned that those empowering the pen with financial incentive are the very organizations we would have typically expected to protect us from the deceit they’re promoting. The choreography of the charade had been meticulously crafted before the war had even begun. The weak-minded are so easily influenced and corrupted into believing whatever the pen tells them, that they have forfeited their own sense of self for one invented for them. They’ve become a zombie army championing the mindless savages who cowardly slay innocent people for a cause that lacks both morality and humanity.

But most importantly, I’ve learned that the truth is infinitely more powerful than both the sword and the pen. The truth is pure and absolute. It is that supernatural supreme power that shatters the spell cast by the pen and returns dignity to the innocents who lost their lives to the sword.

The clarity with which the truth yields its might to the credulity of the pen and the delusions of grandeur of the sword has demolished all the planning and execution of both. Although the zombies continue to run around chanting the gospel the pen has imprinted in their frail minds, they remain just zombies. Because the army of truth is stronger than anything the conspirators of the deception imagined.

The truth bellows its call, and the army wielding its strength stands tall and strong above all. It has ensured that the Nation of Israel does not stand alone. It has bestowed Israel supporters around the world with a courage unrivaled by their enemies. The Jewish nation stands united by truth together with people of all faiths, all nationalities. The victory will be not just on the battlefield against the sword, but also in the hearts and minds for those who truly fight for peace, justice, and truth. Truth will prevail and will conquer evil. And the deceitful pen will cease to exist.

Am Israel Chai, and peace to all the virtuous people of the world.
