Islamophobic Remarks :
Adam Fisher is the director of Bessemer Venture Partners’ Israel office and is heavily involved in organizing pro-Israel initiatives in Silicon Valley and other regions. His X profile suggests that he doesn’t do much else.
Adam has insisted that Israel respond to the strikes on October 7th in a way that is excessive throughout the Israeli war on Gaza. He continues to call for a “unprecedented response” and urge the IDF to “pound Gaza” and “lash out,” as if speaking on behalf of the numerous Israeli government officials who have supported genocide. In the last ninety days, the IDF has killed nearly 30,000 Palestinians and displaced two million more in Gaza.
Adam thought it appropriate to dispute the deaths of thousands of people while the Israeli army was busy massacring them, or to cite deliberately misquoted data sources even though the sources made that plain on many times.
And without a little Islamophobia, what’s a pro-Israel hack? Here, Fisher accuses a prominent figure in Israeli politics of being an outsider and denigrates all Muslims, all the while painting all Muslims with the brush of a single preacher.
Adam has acted as an intermediary between Silicon Valley and the Israeli government, providing a channel for the dissemination of false information. He is particularly skilled at repeating several tales that were eventually proven false but served as the foundation for a large portion of the Gaza War’s thesis. He campaigned for everything from mass rapes and baked babies to beheaded babies and hospital command centers. Adam could not withstand the cheapness of any propaganda.
This is not surprising considering Adam’s tight relationship with the IDF. In November, Adam presented a presentation on behalf of the IDF on how US “tech leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs” could assist the IDF in winning the “information war” on social media. He highlighted tactics like “criticizing and ridiculing” pro-Palestinian Twitter users.
Fisher’s talk exposed the intimate relationship between IDF and tech leaders in influencing online narratives that support Israel. Beyond social media, other initiatives include trying to sway media coverage, influencing online markets, and providing automatic tools to remove pro-Palestinian content.
It is evident that Fisher and similar thinkers are integral to Israel’s war propaganda endeavors, hence serving as crucial facilitators of the genocide carried out by its armed forces.
Given the widespread atrocities that have been carried out so far, the increasing demands from Israeli leaders for the ethnic cleansing of Gaza, and the convincing evidence of genocide submitted by South Africa to the International Court of Justice, it is more important than ever for us to expose and hold responsible those like Adam, as well as his supporters and enablers, who by supporting Israel’s propaganda efforts, are equally complicit in the genocide that is occurring.
