A recent report describes how Islamism has used Fanonist ideology, followed by many on the political left in the West, to draw people in to support its cause, in particular Hamas. This psychological trick is the driving force behind the anti-Zionist sentiment that has been rising in the West.
The result? Gaza will likely now be governed by a body comprising billionaires led by Tony Blair.

Frantz Fanon and His Acolytes
A new report from Policy Exchange titled ‘After Gaza: Frantz Fanon and his Acolytes’ warns of the dangers associated with “anti-colonial thinking” following the Manchester terror attack in October 2025.
The report, authored by former UK Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Sir John Jenkins, examines 1960s activist Frantz Fanon’s justification of violence as a means of liberation for oppressed peoples, arguing that his ideas have gained renewed support in the context of the Gaza conflict among both Islamists and “progressive” (left-wing) Western activists.
Frantz Fanon was a French psychoanalyst, philosopher, revolutionary and anti-colonial theorist. Fanon’s most influential work, ‘The Wretched of the Earth’ (1961), was published shortly before his death. In it, he argued for the necessity of violent resistance in decolonisation. A quote in After Gaza taken from a book by Adam Sahtz states:
Within a few years of its publication, The Wretched of the Earth would be read in Spanish by Latin American guerrillas in a Cuban translation commissioned by Che Guevara; in English by ANC rebels in South Africa; in Portuguese, by anti-colonial fighters in Angola, Guinea-Bissau, and Mozambique; in Farsi, by Iranian Marxist and Islamic revolutionaries; and, not least, in Arabic, by Palestinian fedayeen in training camps in Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.
The Rebel’s Clinic: The Revolutionary Life of Frantz Fanon, Adam Shatz, 2024
“Fanon’s thought is fundamental to postcolonial studies, not simply in the academy but more widely. And this is now perhaps the dominant trend in anti-Western activism. And after 7 October 2023, his spirit has animated much of the current often disturbing anti-Israel activism on the streets of London, Birmingham, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, Rome and other major western cities,” a synopsis of Sir John’s report says.
Kemi Badenoch, Member of Parliament and leader of the opposition, has publicly backed the report, stating that the romanticisation of violence by intellectuals and activists can enable real-world terrorist actions, referencing the Yom Kippur attack in Manchester as a recent example:
This celebration of Fanon has real effects. When intellectuals and activists romanticise violence, they give licence to those who see bloodshed not as tragedy, but as a political tool. Two years ago, it was this ethos that underlay Hamas’ attacks on Israel: the worst slaughter of Jews since the Holocaust.
We have also repeatedly seen the deadly results of this mindset here in Britain, most recently in the appalling terrorist attack in Manchester on Yom Kippur. This was not an isolated act of hatred: it flows from a wider culture that legitimises violence in the name of “justice”, cloaking it in the language of resistance. To pretend that there is no connection between the way in which Fanon is venerated by some and these acts of violence is to ignore the ways ideas shape actions.

Islamism Has Turned Fanonist
Islamism, often referred to as political Islam, encompasses a range of political ideologies that advocate for the application of Islamic principles in governance and public life. Islamists seek to implement Sharia (Islamic law) as the foundation of legal and social systems, though interpretations of how this should be done vary widely.
Unlike personal religious practice, Islamism is primarily concerned with power, governance and societal transformation.

In an article published today, The Telegraph explained how “Zionist” has become the go-to word for anti-Jewish activists in recent years and why it is a misnomer:
In his paper, Sir John also explains something I had noticed before, but not fully understood. In 2017, Hamas published their ‘Document of General Principles and Policies’, which developed their explicitly anti-Semitic Charter of 1988. This, says Jenkins, reframed its campaign of violence against Israel “in classic Fanonist terms as anti-colonial, anti-settler and anti-Zionist rather than Islamist and anti-Jewish.”
Readers will probably have noticed that the word “Zionist” now crops up much more in slogans and propaganda. This allows extremists to say they are opposed to a doctrine rather than a race – Zionism being a belief in Israel as the historical and present homeland of the Jewish people.
This ignores the fact that some orthodox Jews are not Zionists (believing that Israel cannot exist again until the coming of the Messiah), that you can be a Zionist without being Jewish and that you can be a strong supporter on the state of Israel without being a Zionist.
If you watch the way pro-Palestine protestors use the word “Zionist” these days, it is a code for “Jewish.” “Zionist pigs” is scrawled on a Jewish shop, or someone complains online about “Zionist banking” or his “Zionist” colleagues at work. Such complaints are against blood, not ideas. And blood is what the Fanonists crave.
The wretched idea that drives Hamas to kill, The Telegraph, 7 October 2025
Islamism Uses Fanonism to Recruit Support
It’s not that Islamists have become Fanonists. Islamists have simply used followers of Fanon to recruit activists in the West to their cause.

A section in After Gaza titled ‘Fanon and Sayyid Qutb’ describes the similarities between Fanon thought and Islamism. It begins: “If one looks at the world today for the Fanonist idea that violence is therapeutic and can deliver salvation, the closest – and most potent – analogue is the idea promoted by radical Islamists that God has commanded Muslims either to convert or eliminate all unbelievers in order to usher in the reign of the righteous.” This belief is associated with the thought of Sayyid Qutb.
Qutb was a radical Egyptian ideologue. In the late 1940s, Qutb transitioned from writing imaginative literature to aligning with social justice with the Muslim Brotherhood. We should recall that Hamas is the branch of the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza.
Related: Who controls the Muslim Brotherhood?
“Qutb’s writings – notably In the Shades of the Quran (“fi dhilal al Quran”) and Milestones (“ma’alim fil tariq”) – are fundamental to all subsequent Islamist movements,” Sir John says.
“The ideological thread runs from the inchoate beginnings of vanguardist Salafist or takfiri movements in the late 1960s130 through to Al Qaeda, the Islamic State and their numerous offshoots. Qutb’s ideas also crossed the Sunni-Shia divide, becoming a reference point for the creation of the radical Shia Islamist movement, Da’wa, in Iraq after 1958 and, translated into Persian by the future Ayatollah Khamenei, shaping the thinking of those revolutionaries who seized power in Tehran in 1979,” he said.
Fanon’s writings are now an integral part of the fractious Western debate over meaning and identity. By Hamas reframing its campaign of violence against Israel in classic Fanonist terms in 2017, it “has helped many in the West to see the violence of Hamas and Hezbollah (for example) as not simply justified but in some sense sanctified,” Sir John’s report says.
Adding, “Some of the statements by senior Hamas representatives in the immediate aftermath of the 2023 attack confirmed, this was largely a tactical manoeuvre. It found – and still finds – a sympathetic reception in some quarters. But what it also showed was that some Hamas leaders at least had paid attention to progressive Western discourse and to the legacy of Fanon in particular.”
The term “progressive” used to describe the political left leads on to another twist in the plot, which also relies on psychological manipulation. The term was popularised by Tony Blair, who doesn’t refer to “socialism” or “socialists,” preferring to use the term “progressive centre-left,” even though he is a Fabian socialist.
Blair has now emerged as a central figure to “manage Gaza” through the Gaza International Transitional Authority plan.
Revealing details of a “leaked document,” Israel Hayom reported that “at the heart of the plan stands the establishment of an international board of directors comprising 7 to 10 members, including businesspeople, diplomats and economic experts. Tony Blair would head the board as general coordinator or executive president, and it would be responsible for making all central decisions regarding policy, security and economy in the Strip.”
“The plan mentions a Palestinian representative whose name is not disclosed ‘for symbolic reasons’, but emphasises that he would not have real executive powers,” Israel Hayom said.
ABC News cuts more to the chase. “The proposal suggests a few billionaires who could sit on the board and flags it would include an investment body tasked with generating ‘real financial returns’ … Foreign billionaires could be installed on a board that governs all aspects of life in Gaza while Palestinians have little input.”
So, whose objectives are really being achieved?
And how have they managed to do it? A clue lies in the use of the word “Palestine.”
As we have alluded in a previous article, the words “Palestine” and “Palestinian” are part of a predictive programming or neuro-linguistic programming operation, a PsyOp, that has been playing out for years through television, media outlets, social media and protests. Protests? some may ask.
It is known that in a cult movement, chanting could be used as a tool for brainwashing. In such settings, chanting is often used to foster a strong sense of group identity and oneness, while simultaneously directing emotional and psychological focus toward the cult leader or ideology. The repetitive nature of chanting is designed to induce a trance-like state, which can impair a person’s ability to make decisions and evaluate new information. Is it possible that repetitive chants of “free Palestine” at protests, week after week over the years, could have had a similar effect?

Is this article suggesting that the Zionists are the victims?
Hi Sergio, the article is saying that Fanonists have been manipulated by Islamists.
How have Islamists manged to do this? By using Fanonsits’ own ideology as a tool of manipulation.
Looks like it doesn’t it?
Always the victims.
Never to blame.
And it’s always someone else’s fault.
Looks like most people would rather eat a red heifer than swallow the unappetising zionist slop being served up here
Jesus and the biblical prophets before him “propagated” some serious, serious anti-Zionist beliefs. They can be found in the Bible.
Hi Plebney, I haven’t seen any “serious, serious anti-Zionist beliefs” from Jesus and the “biblical prophets” in the Bible. Can you give an example? If you are able to provide a Bible reference (book, chapter and verse) that would be useful.
This is not an honest reply. There has always been a small percentage of jews who have followed God. The rest have actively opposed him. Anyone who has read the bible can see this.
Jesus said this, explicitly to “the jews”:
You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
John 8:44
The leaders of Israel in particular are the “offspring of vipers”, again referring to their father the devil. Matt. 23:33
The point is, as the bible states, the ones who currently call themselves jews aren’t really because they no longer have Abraham as their father but continue their legacy of satan worship and opposition to God.
“I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the slander by those who say they are Jews, and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.”
This is Jesus quoted in the book of Revelation verse 2:9
PS: I send some financial support occasionally because I appreciate your website. Thanks.
Hi Plebney, you’ve switched from “Zionist” to “Jew.” As the article above states, Zionist does not equate to Jew. Someone can be a Zionist without being a Jew, and someone can be a Jew without being a Zionist. And in case you feel like switching again and substitute Zionist or Jew with Israeli, someone can be an Israeli without being either a Jew or a Zionist.
So I ask you again, where in the Bible does Jesus and the Biblical Prophets display “serious, serious anti-Zionist beliefs”?
As you have quoted some Bible verses to support your new claim of “There has always been a small percentage of jews who have followed God. The rest have actively opposed him. Anyone who has read the bible can see this..”
In John 8:44 Jesus was speaking to The Pharisees. The Pharisees were a religious and political movement. They are not “the Jews,” an all encompassing label, as you claim. As Jesus made clear, he was not pleased with the Pharisees.
Matthew 23:1-4 “Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do. For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers”.”
Who do you think the “multitudes” Jesus was speaking to were? Jews?
Matthew 23:13, ““But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.”
In Matthew 23:33 Jesus is talking about the Pharisees and the scribes. Matthew 23:13 (quoted above) gives an indication why he was exposing the Pharisees, but if you read the whole chapter you’ll get a better understanding. See https://biblehub.com/nkjv/matthew/23.htm
Revelation 2:9 speaks for itself and I’m surprised you used it to support your claim, because it does the opposite. The important words you may have overlooked when typing it out are: “those who say they are Jews and are not.” In other words, they are lying.
So in the passages you shared, Jesus was addressing people who stop others from entering the kingdom of heaven, hypocrites and liars. Since Jesus came, God’s written word, including Jesus’ words, apply to all of us, not just the Jews. It tells us how he sees us all, including you and me. Matthew 23 is particularly speaking about religious leaders who stop people from entering the kingdom of heaven, are hypocrites and/or liars, irrespective of whether those religious leaders call themselves Jews, Christians, Muslims or any other religion/faith. Woe to religious leaders who stop people from entering the kingdom of heaven.
It’s not “my claim”. The bible is clear on this matter. The definition of jew changed after the resurrection. Now there are the true jews who are jews inwardly, and the false ones. That’s what John is talking about in his Revelation. The curent Zionist operation is false jews who are serving their father the devil. The idea of a jewish state of Israel is no more than a distraction. They want the world, they intend to get it by destroying everyone else, and it is easy to show they have been fairly successful in this endeavor. The scriptures make it clear. They are enemies.
You wrote: ‘This psychological trick is the driving force behind the anti-Zionist sentiment that has been rising in the West.’
I would suggest it is the observation of atrocities committed by Zionists against innocents, a genocide, that fuels anti Zionist sentiment rather than anything else.
The question that needs to be asked is why is this now in the news when the horrors which go back decades have not been broadcast to the general public.
Bizarre this defence of the indefensible.
It’s like people are beong paid to say good things about Isreal just like the Trump puppet and many others.
Exactly. A recent article in Responsible Statecraft revealed that social media influencers are being paid $7,000 per post to say good things about a certain country
Ffrank, If you are coming onto this site to merely post anti-Zionist or anti-Jewish propaganda, then I will feel the need to start deleting your comments to stop you from using our site as a means to spread or recruit for your nefarious cause.
Fair warning: The comment above is the last unsubstantiated comment from you of this nature I will “approve.”
You can consider my previous comment “substantiated”:
https://responsiblestatecraft.org/israel-influencers-netanyahu/
I’m not spreading or recruiting anything. I’m here to expose gaslighting & reveal who’s shaping the narrative.
You’ve already started to call people ‘racist’, so I guess it’d be no surprise if you go full woke ‘cancel culture’ – it’d be a bit like when Coutts Bank canceled Nigel Farage for having the wrong opinions
Ffrank, you say, “I’m not spreading or recruiting anything.” Let’s look at your track record to see if your comments on this site support what you say.
You have made 22 comments under articles on this site. 18 of those comments are directly related to and of the same nature as your comments that I am challenging above. Only 4 of your comments do not directly relate to the same topic. Of those 4, two could be taken as indirectly related as you are disparaging people, who I guess, you view are against your “pro-Palestinian” cause. So I would say 20 of the 22 comments you have made on this site are all related to the same “pro-Palestinian” message. I use the word “pro-Palestinian,” specifically, for reasons I have explained.
That doesn’t look like you are “exposing gaslighting” or “revealing who’s shaping the future” to me. It looks like you’re running a “pro-Palestine” campaign and using our comments section to do it – and this campaign is the only reason you visit our site.
I won’t be bothering to challenge you in the future, I will simply delete your comments to stop you using our site to run your campaign and recruiting people to your cause. Why will I delete rather than “bother” to challenge your comments in the future? The comments section is for our readers to use and I’m not here to baby sit commentators who don’t know how to use the comments section responsibly. Why am I taking the time, “bothering,” to explain all this? you might ask. It’s not for your benefit, you know what you’re doing. It’s so your nature is “exposed” and “revealed” (as you might like to say) to other readers.
What?
Who do think killed Charlie Kirk?
Surely you don’t believe the FBI?
Kirk was asking the hard questions about the 6 hour stand down order on October 7th.
He had seen the same light as Candace Owens.
You are not anti Semitic because you are critical if Israel and its ongoing genocide in Gaza
Hi Paul Watson,
Well said, thank you.
The 6 hour stand down was part of the plan.
It’s getting like we cannot say anything about anybody.
Keep up your good work.

28 apache helicopters reloaded twice, to burn all the cars.
More people should be aware of the many people who were killed by the Apache helicopters & the ‘Hannibal Doctrine’
Hi Ffrank, another person on this site tried to claim the “Hannibal Doctrine” in a comment. I asked to see where he had got the information from. Turns out the information was from an opinion piece that said there is no proof it was simply a musing by the author. In other words, it was merely an opinion which then spread as a rumour and finally got taken as fact. You can imagine, I am wary of such claims now.
So I ask you the same. What source have you used for your information?
I have no idea what source the other person used, but here are a couple I found:
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-07-07/ty-article-magazine/.premium/idf-ordered-hannibal-directive-on-october-7-to-prevent-hamas-taking-soldiers-captive/00000190-89a2-d776-a3b1-fdbe45520000

Hi Ffrank, thank you for providing your sources.
I recommend everyone read the first article from Haaretz provided in full, rather than rely on a headline, or sentence or two, which is then taken out of context, embellished and stories fabricated around those few words.
The link Ffrank provided for the Haaretz article is behind a paywall, so here’s the archived copy: https://archive.is/f0xdw
If you read the Haaretz article first, you will be able to put the second article on Substack in context – which makes the “mistake” of embellishment to direct people to the author’s own conclusions by using words such as “this bombshell admission” and “this is a stunning admission that proves once and for all ..” These types of phrases must be seen for what they are, they are click bait.
Click bait words and phrases are commonly used in all forms of media to grab people’s attention, they are not in anyway attempting to convey a fact. Remove the click bait from the Substack article and what are you left with? The Haaretz article, even though the Substack article claimed in a subheading “The Most Vile Mainstream Media Cover-Up In History” – yet more click bait. In fact there is so much click bait in the Substack article that I would classify it as activism not journalism. Activists don’t rely on facts, their aim is to convince you that what they are saying is true and provoke an emotional response (and perhaps some form of action) from you. You see this type of activism on the television day in and day out.
Hi Rhoda,
I did mention it several times, two years ago.
There were no soldiers killed, just the festival public.
Paragliders could not carry the amount of weapons and ammunition needed to carry out the amount of damage done.
Hi Ffrank,
Says 1600 in the article , mainly people at the festival.
Most were murdered trying to escape in their cars.
Zionists certainly do a good enough job on their own to create anti-zionist sentiment.
Way too complex for me. But the comments are interesting from all sides. Unresolvable.
It’s your web site, but pro-Zionist propaganda isn’t a good look.
There was a time when being an “anti-vaxxer” wasn’t a good look, to some being an “anti-vaxxer” is still not a good look.
Straw Man much?
Islam is the disease, Western retribution is the cure.
Money talks.
This article is one of many that discusses the Gas Fields that are off the coast of Gaza that Arafat had wanted to develop with British Gas over 20 years ago, when he was alive. But it is still not developed and Israel, UK and USA have their eyes for it. How else do you explain why Bibi, Trump and Blair are involved?
