In this episode TFJ dives into some modern applications of the big lie by those motivated by financial considerations. In these instances - perpetrated in our very own times - there is also a body count. The risks of smoking are now well known, and the damaging effects of cigarettes on human health are indisputable. But before the cat was burst out of the bag, the tobacco industry perpetuated a campaign of misinformation on the American public concerning the safety of tobacco products. Now that traditional tobacco use has declined, deception is being employed to rope impressionable youth into vaping or e-cigarettes, touting that e-cigarettes are a considerably safer alternative to traditional tobacco and even a method to quit the habit of smoking altogether. Disaster misinformation is another example - this time for political purposes — of how a big lie can deny the truth at the precise moment people need accurate information in order to survive. One must be aware that social media is not optimized for truth, and it can - and often is - a medium for lethal and viral misinformation. Because the liar incarcerates himself in a prison of his own making; it is critical to disassociate - to "stay far away," as the Bible refers to dishonesty, before there will be a need for more lies to sustain the illusion, and become irrevocably entrapped in moral erosion.

Hitler's Big Lie found fresh expression with Hamas supporters claiming the absurdity that Israel is perpetrating genocide in its right to defend itself, executed in a legal and humane way. An accusation launched by none other than an organization that has in its charter and all of its rhetoric the desire to destroy Israel and every Jew living therein. In this episode we explore how Hitler and the Nazi propaganda machine utilized the "big lie" with incredible effectiveness. Whereas the virtuous woman is extolled for being an individual that may always be trusted, we conclude with a chilling story highlighting that the word of honor of one not committed to truth, is a mockery of honor.

TFJ Season 6 Episode 8 The Water Wars, Israel's National Water Carrier, The Emergence of the PLO
TFJ Season 6 Episode 8 The Water Wars, Israel's National Water Carrier, The Emergence of the PLO
Jun 10, 2026
25:38
In 1964, Israel completed its National Water Carrier, leading the Arab states to worry about the economic growth this would mean for Israel. They understood that water meant agriculture, agriculture meant food security, food security meant Israel could absorb more immigrants, more immigrants meant a larger population, and a larger population meant a stronger army and a state that would be more difficult to dislodge. Syria tried to divert the waters of the Chazbani and Banias rivers away from Israel, but in successive skirmishes Israeli tank crews wreaked havoc on Syrian bulldozers earthmoving equipment and tanks. Eventually, Syria and the other Arab states abandoned the diversion effort. On January 1, 1965 was the first terrorist incursion of a new organization called the PLO. This marked the emergence of a new model of Palestinian nationalism—one that would place armed struggle at its core and would, over time, come to dominate the Palestinian national movement.
