THE WAR ON TRUTH

Lithuania’s Blood-Drenched Lies, Russia’s Vile Slander, and Hamas’s Murderous Deceit.

By Grant Gochin

THE COST OF LIVES AND GLOBAL COMPLICITY

Lithuania’s repulsive Holocaust revisionism has choked the screams of 220,000 murdered Jews, forcing survivors and their descendants, like me, to wage a war against a nation’s vile lies. Russia’s sickening disinformation smears Lithuania with fabricated crimes to stoke geopolitical hatred.[1] Hamas, those gutless cowards soaked in innocent blood, mirror this depraved rejection of truth seen in Nazism and Lithuania’s fraud, prolonging Gaza’s agony while Israel fights for survival on seven physical fronts – Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Judea and Samaria, Iran, Yemen, and Iraq – along with the eighth front of media and propaganda.[2] These monstrous deceptions—Lithuania’s erasure of Jewish slaughter, Russia’s historical perversion, and Hamas’s crocodile tears – are a shared playbook of evil: dehumanize the innocent, glorify butchers, and spit on justice.

Silence is treason. Those who amplify Hamas’s lies – sniveling UN bureaucrats, treacherous journalists, brainwashed influencer drones, vile profiteers who make their livelihood generating antisemitism, Hamas operatives masquerading as journalists, and the fake outrage machine profiting from spewing, spreading, and amplifying antisemitic venom — are as despicable as Lithuanian officials who worship murderers like Jonas Noreika or Russian propagandists who defame Lithuania. These Hamas cheerleaders, whether deliberate traitors or too stupid to see through the most insidious propaganda in history, are participants and collaborators in this eighth front, gleefully enabling genocide while masquerading as morally superior. Israel dominates seven battlefield fronts but crashes spectacularly in the media war, crippled by a pathetic failure to counter relentless lawfare and disinformation. This cowardice lets lies metastasize, fueling global complicity and trampling the memory of millions, while the relentless focus on lies about Israel consumes the world’s attention, enabling genuine genocides and human rights abuses to fester unnoticed, making those generating hate enablers of global atrocities.

Anti-Zionism is a filthy mask for antisemitism, wrapping raw hatred in sanctimonious garbage. It hands bigots a blank check to hate Jews while waving the flag of “democracy,” slandering Zionism as oppression[3]. By branding Jews as Nazis, this toxic cesspool fuels Hamas’s propaganda, echoes Lithuania’s justification of Jewish slaughter as “self-defense,” and mimics Russia’s fabricated attacks on Lithuania’s honor. Every Hamas apologist – whether a smug academic, a street-chanting useful idiot, or a profiteering hate-monger — is a traitor to humanity, propping up a genocidal cult with their vile complicity.

THE SEDUCTION OF LIES AND THE FIGHT FOR TRUTH

Young Jews who embrace anti-Zionism are a disgrace, spitting on the graves of their ancestors who fled pogroms and ovens to give them life in America. They don’t just reject their heritage — they torch it with rabid, self-loathing fury, their minds so easily twisted by Hamas’s slick propaganda that they turn on their own with fanatical conviction, betraying the very blood that runs through their veins. These spoiled brats, alive only because their forebears escaped the same antisemitic slaughter they now cheer for, will choke on regret when they realize they were pawns, manipulated by Jew-hating mobs and their own reckless stupidity. On university campuses, these deluded fools dive into a sewer of antisemitic lies, embraced by rabble who fetishize their distortions as holy truth, twisting the Holocaust into a sick justification for their hatred. Their betrayal is a knife in the back of every Jew who survived to ensure their existence.

Europeans swill these lies like pigs at a trough, desperate to whitewash their grandparents’ Holocaust butchery. By pinning invented crimes on Jews, they morph their inherited guilt into a burning, self-righteous loathing, hating with a zeal that damns their own souls. This mirrors Lithuania’s vile revisionism, smearing Jews as Soviet collaborators to justify their slaughter, and Russia’s propaganda, slandering Lithuanians to serve modern agendas.

As I declared in “Lithuanian Holocaust Fraud[4]”, we are the warriors of truth. We must obliterate Lithuania’s betrayal, Russia’s manipulations, and Hamas’s deceit with unrelenting facts: Hamas’s theft of 90% of UN aid[5], their use of human shields, and their genocidal charter (Hamas Covenant, 1988). Lithuania’s lies thrive because cowards refuse to confront them; Russia’s disinformation festers by exploiting ignorance; Hamas’s propaganda surges because fools and bigots — especially those vile Hamas supporters, self-hating Jewish traitors, and antisemitic profiteers — lap it up. We must honor the victims — of the Holocaust, Russian disinformation, and October 7 — by smashing the lies that shield their killers. The Soviets, Nazis, Lithuanians, Russians, and now Hamas have mastered blaming the innocent. It’s time to strike back with truth as our blade, annihilating their narratives once and for all.

LITHUANIA’S HOLOCAUST REVISIONISM: BLUEPRINT FOR DECEIPT

History is a battlefield where truth is the first casualty. Lithuania, guilty in the slaughter of 220,000 Jews inside Lithuania[6], as well as tens of thousands of Jews in other European countries where they “virtuously”, “enthusiastically”, and voluntarily traveled in order to slaughter as many Jews wherever they could find them, has spent decades perfecting a grotesque campaign to bury its genocidal shame. As I exposed in my articles for The Times of Israel[7], Lithuania worships monsters like Jonas Noreika and Kazys Škirpa, who orchestrated Jewish massacres with bloodthirsty glee. Noreika caged Jews in ghettos like animals; Škirpa demanded their “elimination” with demonic zeal. Yet, Lithuania’s so-called Genocide and Resistance Research Centre[8] has the audacity to rebrand these butchers as national heroes, dismissing Škirpa’s genocidal calls as mere “antisemitic remarks” and Noreika’s murderous orders as harmless “letters”. This is a deliberate, state-backed middle finger to truth, calling the Lithuanians every bit as evil as Hamas, where the only difference is the IDF can prevent Hamas from being as successful as the Lithuanians.

The South African Jewish Report exposes the savagery: Lithuanians, not Nazis, spearheaded the early slaughter, with 80% of Lithuania’s Jews butchered by local “self-defense” units and police battalions before Hitler’s “Final Solution” kicked into gear. Ordinary Lithuanians joined the carnage, driven by greed, hatred, or sick thrills, raping, looting, and murdering with abandon, replicating and exceeding the pogroms of Europe, and serving as a model for Hamas on October 7, 2023. Yet, the government smears Jews as Soviet collaborators, claiming their slaughter was “national self-defense,” spitting on condemnation from Yad Vashem and historians worldwide. Killing fields are whitewashed, ghettos erased, and survivors’ descendants, like me, are silenced[9] in our relentless fight to rip the truth from this web of lies.

HAMAS PROPAGANDA: ECHOES OF LITHUANIAN LIES

Hamas, those spineless terrorists who revel in the October 7, 2023, massacre of 1,200 people and kidnapping of hundreds, have replicated Lithuania’s filthy playbook and wielded it with diabolical precision. Like Lithuania, they commit atrocities, then twist reality to paint their victims as villains. Their media war — the “eighth front” in their genocidal crusade — is a festering swamp of fake “genocide” claims and staged sob stories. They steal 90% of UN aid, starve their own people, and pin the blame on Israel. They rig civilian homes with traps, use children as shields, and shriek about Israeli airstrikes when their own bombs detonate[10] This mirrors Lithuania’s erasure of Jewish blood and Russia’s lies accusing Lithuanians of historical crimes to justify modern aggression. Those calling for “Death to the IDF” are vilely proposing that Hamas be as successful as the Lithuanians in their genocidal slaughter.

Hamas’s strategy thrives on a fanatical rejection of truth, amplified by social media, Islamist and radical leftist groups, and deluded Jewish turncoats who betray the very ancestors who fled persecution to give them life. Their supporters — whether chanting in streets, posting sanctimonious drivel online, or profiting from antisemitic bile — are contemptible enablers of genocide, their moral posturing a sick joke. Just as Lithuania justifies Jewish murders as “self-defense,” Hamas cloaks its genocidal intent in cries of “resistance,” manipulating global opinion to dodge accountability.

A SHARED PAYBOOK: DEHUMANIZATION AND DISINFORMATION

Lithuania, Russia, and Hamas are united in their obscene erasure of truth, wielding a shared playbook of lies. Tribune Magazine[11] exposes Lithuania’s neglect of Jewish ghettos, repurposing them to obliterate history, just as Hamas blames Israel for destruction caused by its own rockets. Russia’s propaganda smears Lithuanians as aggressors, echoing Lithuania’s lies about Jewish “collaboration” and Hamas’s false claims of Israeli “starvation policies” while hoarding aid. This is no accident — Hamas has mastered Lithuania’s art of dodging accountability, using it to wage a media war against Israel, just as Russia twists narratives to isolate Lithuania geopolitically. The only way to prevent future atrocities is a ruthless dedication to truth, as those who peddle, facilitate, and amplify lies are actively laying the groundwork for tomorrow’s horrors.

CONCLUSION

Rise up, you guardians of truth, and unleash your fury against the liars who desecrate the memory of millions! Every one of you – scholars, activists, survivors, or ordinary souls—must become a relentless warrior in this fight. Share the evidence, shout it from every platform, and confront the cowards — whether self-hating Jewish traitors, antisemitic profiteers, or Hamas’s sanctimonious enablers — who fuel this global betrayal. The victims of the Holocaust, October 7, and every erased truth demand your voice. Stand firm, wield the truth like a hammer, and crush the narratives of these monstrous deceivers before their lies pave the way for more atrocities. Act now, or be complicit in the next genocide!
